After that, he pressed the key and unlocked his car, leaning over to retrieve a certain item that was covered in a white plastic bag, throwing it in Skylar’s direction after he found it.
Skylar tried to take it over, yet she could barely reach the mysterious item. In the end, it fell to the ground.
Tobias despised Skylar and said, “What’s wrong with you? Can’t you even hold a lightweight item?”
The moment she bent over to pick it up, she raised her head and responded with a confused look because it was a set of cold churros. “What is this about? Do you want me to heat it for you?”
“Excuse me? Is that how you’re supposed to express your gratitude when I have bought it for you? I passed by the shop and noticed there was quite a long queue outside the store, and a majority of them were females. I thought you would like it and decided to get it for you.”
Skylar recalled the croissant and coffee Jackson would buy her every day when she lowered her head and looked at the cold churros.
To keep the food warm, Jackson would keep them inside his jacket. However, Tobias handed over a pack of cold churros to her. The latter didn’t see anything wrong with it.
She finally figured out why women tend to get married to an honest-looking geek instead of a handsome hunk. It was the little things that mattered at the end of the day.
She was no longer the woman who couldn’t live without a man anymore. In fact, she decided to stay away from men to avoid being vulnerable and hurt all over again.
Skylar picked it up and handed it over to Tobias. “I don’t enjoy eating cold food because I’m going to have an upset stomach.”
“Are young women nowadays such fragile ones? If that’s the case, feel free to get rid of it and throw it into the dustbin over there.”
She cast it in Tobias’ direction as though he was the dustbin instead. After he grabbed the pack of churros, he frowned because he was displeased by her response.
