Skylar lowered her head to scroll her phone as she answered casually, “Since Cassidy is treating them to dinner
tonight, I can understand why she doesn’t invite me. Besides, I don’t prefer social dining anyway. I can hardly stand
it when everyone around me hypocritically pretends to be nice.”
Despite Skylar’s generosity, Hannah was still a little disgruntled. She pushed her glasses and continued, “I know it
feels bad to be isolated. Imagine some people creating a smaller WhatsApp group to gossip and laugh at those who
are excluded. Well, I think they will gossip about you later tonight.”
Skylar replied laughingly, “I’m mentally prepared for it. Do you think people never commented about me in the
past?”
The next moment, her smile froze when she was checking the balance of her debit card.
After Hannah came closer to peek at it, she exclaimed, “How can you possibly have only three thousand left in it?”

thousand that remains in my account, I gave most of it to my mom.”
Hannah’s jaw nearly dropped upon hearing it. After a while, she exclaimed, “Are all actresses that poor? Besides,
Mr. Ford should have given you some money to spend, right?”
Skylar massaged her temples upon hearing it. She always had a headache once money came to mind.
A few seconds later, she explained, “I’m a financially independent woman. Anyway, he certainly wishes that I’ll be
financially dependent on him. That was why he encouraged me to buy a house. By the way, I bought the villa with
discounts.”
On the other hand, Hannah still couldn’t understand the rationale behind Skylar’s action. Since Skylar can get
everything that easily, why does she put herself in trouble?
As Skylar understood Hannah’s doubts, she said pessimistically, “I have the necessary skills to make money now. As
I used to grow up alone, I know how it feels to be helpless. So, I understand that I can’t count on others and have to
depend on myself.”
Hannah was heartbroken upon hearing it. A moment later, she handed over a box of milk from her bag to Skylar
and said, “I’m luckier than you somehow, for my parents make enough money to support the family. Besides, I’m
the only child in the family. My parents opposed it when I said I wished to be a celebrity assistant, mainly because
they were worried that I would be bullied. For many years, my mom only wanted me to become a public servant.
Hence, she cried when I went against their wishes. Now, they’re relieved that I’m working for a good boss.”
Skylar could tell that Hannah’s family pampered her since she was young. Hence, Hannah could hardly undergo any
hardship. Nonetheless, Skylar was happy to hire her because she was honest, kind-hearted, and trustworthy.
Skylar rested her chin on her hand and looked at Hannah. “What is it like to be loved by mom and dad? I can’t
imagine the feeling of living with parents.”

Suddenly, Hannah perked up and suggested, “Well, you’ll know it by having a child. When you and Mr. Ford have a
kid, you can experience how it feels like to live with family.”
However, Skylar answered hesitantly, “That’ll be too difficult.”
Skylar knew that Tobias had also come to Dellmoor, yet she hadn’t received any news about him after the night
closed in.
Since the others went to John’s Roast Duck, Skylar brought Hannah to a barbecue restaurant instead.
It was said that the barbecue food in the North was delicious. Besides, this area was said to be Skylar’s food
paradise, for she liked rich-flavored delicacies.
After sitting down, she ordered two bottles of beer and some chicken skewers. It was rather cold outside, the leaves
falling as the wind gusted through.
According to the weather forecast, it would snow tonight in Dellmoor. However, Skylar still didn’t see any snowflakes
thus far.
After a while, Skylar said casually, “The first snowfall will probably arrive soon. They say that lovers should meet and
kiss each other during the first snowfall so they will never be apart.”
Hannah was enjoying the chicken skewers as she replied, “You’ve been watching too many TV shows.”
