Chapter 587 Tell Me If You Want Me
In the end, Kevin’s matter was indeed related to her. The Jones siblings clearly didn’t want to see her living a good life. As long as she had a difficult time, they would be happy.
Skylar wondered if she had ruffle their feathers in her past life to get such treatment from them.
Skylar said in a little guilty tone, “If it wasn’t because of me, Kevin wouldn’t have ended up this way. His future is almost ruined now. I heard that he was even expelled from school and wouldn’t have the chance to go to college anymore. He’ll stay this way all his life.”
Seeing the altruistic ways that Skylar went about things, Tobias came to learn by degrees that if he wasn’t by her side, Skylar would have a very difficult path ahead of her. He would rather Skylar be more selfish and not consider too much. In fact, it would be best if she could be self-centered.
“I’ll arrange for someone to get the money back. I would take back exactly how much Hayden had taken and I would force him to surrender it. What do you plan to do with the money?”
Skylar knew that Tobias was hoping to hear a satisfactory answer from her.
Nevertheless, it didn’t go as he wished. She spoke her mind, “Just return it to them. Let them use the money to pay for what they owed, then they wouldn’t need to sell the house anymore. It’s fine to let them stay in the old manor.”
Tobias watched her dazed expression and asked, “This is one of the rare opportunities to make Wesley sell the old manor. Isn’t it important to you?”
Skylar nodded. “It is, but I can’t take advantage of them. When Grandma was still alive, the only person she was reluctant to leave behind was Uncle Wesley. She said that he didn’t accomplish anything even as he was getting old. If I continue to press him on like this, Grandma would definitely blame me. Even
though the manor was important to me, I don’t mind who is living in it. As long as it remains there, I’ll be at ease.”
Tobias was eager to find out Skylar’s stance, but the answer Skylar gave him wasn’t what he desired to hear.
If Skylar had told him that the manor was only a material possession and didn’t matter as much, he would instruct his staff to initiate the construction right away, and Harbourside would be razed to the ground, paving the way for his commercial area development plan.
Nevertheless, it didn’t turn out as what he had wished for. Hence, he had to preserve Skylar’s obsession and restructure his plan for the commercial area development.
Despite that, he didn’t feel the need to divulge everything to Skylar.
As with the sum of money in Hayden’s hands, since Skylar had mentioned that she wanted to help Wesley’s family; he would definitely respect her decision. It just seemed like everything was back to square one after all the twists and turns, and Skylar had also missed the chance to acquire the old manor. NôvelDrama.Org content.
It was late at night, and yet Tobias didn’t seem to be leaving at any point. Skylar let out a breath of relief. It’s almost twelve o’clock.
With Tobias around, she prepared to have a good night’s sleep. She had been mentally tortured in the past few days, and the biological clock within her body would wake her up at twelve midnight every day.
Sometimes, she couldn’t even discern whether she was asleep or awake. She feared that she would wake up to a horrifying face on which a pair of spooky eyes would be staring back at her in the middle of the night.
Just as she entered the bedroom, her clothes were quickly taken off by Tobias. Since that day in the car, his unsatisfied desire had been building up within. Now that he was finally free, he would certainly make up for what he missed.
As all their clothes were taken off, Tobias immediately nibbled the softest and puffiest part of her body, making some sexy yet ambiguous sounds, and wouldn’t stop pecking.
Skylar ran her fingers rather helplessly on his dark and rough hair, as though she was grabbing and holding on to a plank of wood for survival while stranded at sea.
“Do you want it? Tell me and I’ll make love to you.” Tobias returned to his usual pattern and began kissing her earlobe gently and unhurriedly. His tender breath rendered her body soft and spineless.
“No,” replied Skylar briefly.
Nonetheless, her physical reaction contradicted that of her verbal one. She wrapped her arms around his neck in response.
