Chapter 96
Chapter 96
Ever since Tanya showed up, she had turned our peaceful lives upside down. She seemed to have
brainwashed Mom and deceived her into believing she was the best daughter-in-law and the perfect one
for Tobias.
I can’t believe she has the capability to chase Tobias away from home while she gets to enjoy the perks
of being one of the Fords. Why does Tobias seem to be the son-in-law of the family instead?
Has she no shame at all? How dare she proclaims herself as Tobias’ fiancée when the wedding
ceremony is delayed?
His brother was in a tight spot—as long as he returned to the family, he would have to carry on with the
wedding ceremony since Tanya was Tobias’ so-called fiancée.
If their mother hadn’t been deceived by Tanya and played along with her, Tobias could easily get rid of
Tanya and save them a lot of trouble.
After Tobias hung up the call, he departed and made his way to Skylar’s university.
Although it was a relatively long route, he had gotten familiar with the route to Skylar’s university and no
longer required the assistance of a GPS. Truth be told, Tobias, who had always fancied young women,
didn’t expect he would end up in a relationship with a university student.
When he was about to reach, he called Skylar twice, to which she did not pick up. He thought Skylar’s
phone was nothing more than an accessory to her.
Is she in the middle of preparation for her wedding ceremony? Once the particular thought crossed her
mind, his expression darkened.
When he saw the invitation card on his table in his study room, he knew Claudia wasn’t the one behind
the entire incident.
He had faith in his mother. Despite having a different opinion regarding his wedding ceremony, she would
never resort to such a despicable measure. To be precise, such thoughts wouldn’t have crossed her
mind in the first place. The only suspect he could think of was none other than Tanya, who resorted to all
sorts of petty tricks all this while.
It had been three days since Jackson started showing up at Skylar’s dormitory every morning, without
fail, no matter what.
The geek behaved as though something was wrong with his mind. Skylar had made herself clear over
and over again, yet he wouldn’t stay away from her.
Despite Skylar’s harsh remarks, Jackson asserted determinedly, “Skylar, I’ll take good care of you
because you’re my wife! It’s part of my many duties as your husband to take care of you!”
Skylar couldn’t figure out who gave Jackson the audacity to announce such an inappropriate remark that
sounded as though she had no choice but to get married to him.
After she got off her class, Skylar finally noticed there were two missed calls from Tobias.
The name seemed oddly familiar. They had a great time in bed just some time ago.
However, ever since the last session they had, he had stopped showing up in front of her.
Skylar checked on the date and noticed the man’s wedding ceremony would be carried out within twenty-
four hours. Thus, she thought he was getting everything ready for the event.
She thought that was the end of their relationship and decided to stay away from him because beautiful
things would never last—it was time to return to her mundane life.
Jackson had shown up with a cup of coffee and a croissant in between his arms again. Once Skylar
showed up downstairs, he rushed over and handed them over to her.
The chubby geek panted heavily after he sprinted across the streets to reach Skylar.
Skylar was completely speechless by the man’s determination. She had never once savored the things
he had bought her, yet he would show up in front of her every day without fail.
Carmen, who had just returned from the cafeteria, ridiculed Skylar once again, “Skylar, I’m so jealous of © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
you because you have such a lovely boyfriend who will show up and deliver your breakfast to you every
day. I guess he has to work hard since he isn’t a match for others in terms of look.”
Skylar couldn’t bear the sarcastic remark from Carmen. She replied with a vicious smirk, “Oh? What
does this have to do with you? Haven’t you had your breakfast?”
“What? Am I not allowed to express my feelings? Do you know there are quite a few budget motels
available around the campus? I think they’re currently having a promotion or something of sorts. Why
don’t you guys check it out and give it a try?”
Jackson thought it was a genuine offer from Carmen. He scratched his head and asked, “Really? Are
there any terms and conditions? Should we bring along our student identification card?”
“Sure! Why don’t you head over and check it out on your own?” Carmen chuckled and started teasing
Jackson.
“Ninety percent discount! How does that sound?” Skylar replied petulantly.
Jackson’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “That sounds like a great deal! Shall we give it a try, Skylar?”
