Chapter 681 The Condoms Have Been Used
“I hurt myself while peeling an apple. It's no big deal. I'll be fine in a few days.”
Unsure whether Skylar was telling the truth, Tobias sat next to her and swiftly loosened the bandages
on her arm. Then, he saw the visible knife wound.
To him, an injury like this was certainly nothing serious, but he couldn't help but worry that she was in
pain.
“It's fine if you don't want to tell me the truth, but don't ever put up with anyone picking on you. You
have me, so there's nothing for you to be afraid of,” remarked Tobias as he skillfully rewrapped the
bandages around her arm.
Skylar grinned. “Who would ever pick on me? I'm a superstar now. I even have bodyguards! Only an
idiot would think of messing with me.”
Tobias kissed her on the back of her hand. “But why does a superstar like you seem so broke? I
haven't seen you buy anything for yourself. I'm curious to know where you spent all that money on.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Skylar groaned internally. I could ask you the same thing. How could you have the heart to spend all
your investors' hard-earned money?
She was so embarrassed that she couldn't bring herself to admit that almost all the money had been
used to pay off debts.
I won't be able to feed myself if I don't film another movie.
Female celebrities always ate, wore, and used the best things, but she couldn't afford to buy herself
anything branded at the moment.
Tobias took a debit card out of his wallet and placed it on the coffee table. Since she refused to use a
black card, he figured that a regular debit card would do.
Skylar picked the card up and shoved it in Tobias' pocket. “I'm not spending your money. Men and
women should be equal. Why should I use your money when I can earn my own?”
Tobias grew frustrated. “Why do you keep drawing the line and keeping a distance like that? When will
you start treating me like family?”
Yet, Skylar knew from a young age that she could depend on no one but herself.
She had lived with Meredith in an area where most families weren't well off in the past. At times, there
were large households whose livelihoods depended solely on the man's meager salary.
That was why Skylar couldn't live without worries even if she had Tobias. She didn't want to lie in bed
all day and live like a noblewoman.
For dinner, Madelyn had made some shrimp chowder. With chopped scallion sprinkled over the top, the
dish smelled especially tempting.
Skylar grabbed her cutlery, but just as she was about to take a spoonful of the chowder, Tobias
grabbed her bowl and placed it in front of him.
She tried to reach for the bowl, only for Tobias to stop her by grabbing her hand.
“Are we seriously fighting over a bowl of soup while I'm in this state?” she asked, referring to her
injured arm.
Tobias put his cutlery down and gazed deep into her eyes. “When have I ever taken the food you like
from you? You shouldn't be eating greasy stuff like this when you're injured. It'll cause your wound to
heal less quickly. Don't you have any common sense?”
Skylar shook her head. No one had ever told her this. Besides, she used to live so simply that she
didn't get to learn such things.
Madelyn had already left right after making dinner. It was her day off tomorrow, but she had asked
Skylar if she could leave earlier.
When Skylar asked why, Madelyn had turned red and struggled to answer. It was only after a long
while that she explained, “My husband's working on a site nearby. I want to see him.”
That was when Skylar recalled something. She had noticed a box of condoms while tidying one of the
drawers earlier that day.
As far as she could remember, the box had not been opened previously. But that day, the outer
packaging had been unsealed, and there was only one condom left inside.
