Skylar yelled at Jackson in frustration, “Have you no common sense at all? Can you please stay away from me? Get out of my sight at once and stop interrupting my life!”
Suddenly, she reached for her phone because she received a notification. Jackson craned over, asking curiously in an attempt to take a peek at her phone, “Who is it? What is it about?”
Skylar pushed Jackson’s chubby cheeks away because he was merely a few inches away from her screen.
Tobias: I’ll drop by the university in the evening.
Every time Skylar received a text from Tobias, she felt as though she was a secret agent because Tobias’ text was like a series of morse codes that would require decipherment. Most of the time, he wouldn’t bother to punctuate his text, leading to further confusion.
Skylar swiftly swiped her fingers across the keypads and drafted her reply within a few seconds.
Skylar: I’ll be joining my friends for dinner tonight. I won’t be around because we’ll be away for a karaoke session after our meal.
She wasn’t lying because she would be hanging out with her course mates, singing to their hearts’ content after their meal tonight.
Initially, she didn’t want to take part in it, but since everyone else had indicated their will to join the activities, she had no choice but to go along with the majority.
Jackson’s goofy smile was nowhere to be seen as his expression changed into a gloomy one. “Are you going out tonight? Who is it? Make sure you behave yourself and remember your role as my wife, okay?”
Skylar couldn’t believe her ears and almost pass out because of the absurdity of the geek’s statement. She secretly warned herself to stay away from geeks in the future unless she enjoyed being annoyed.
She proceeded to reply with a bright grin sarcastically, “Who else could it be apart from my boyfriend? Am I not allowed to go out on a date with my boyfriend?”
The geek had his doubts. He denoted, “I know you don’t have a boyfriend. Apart from that, I’m pretty sure no one else will get into a relationship with you if they’re aware your mother is a murderer. My mother is the only open-minded one who’s able to accept you as a member of our family.”
Skylar had a hard time catching her breath when she heard Jackson’s statement. She would never allow others to address her mother in such a demeaning manner.
She glared at him and warned, “You better keep your mouth shut and stay away from me! If you insist on following me, I’ll lodge a report and get the police officers to throw you behind bars!”
