NovelAppAfter 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.
Skylar got into the car immediately because she was afraid her course mates would catch her with
another man. However, as soon as she entered the car, she could smell a faint fragrance that was left
behind by another woman.
Meanwhile, Tobias grasped the air freshener he had with him and cast a skeptical gaze at Skylar. “I
have never encountered any woman who has despised perfume to such an extent. Since you’re not a
fan of perfume, why don’t you give this air freshener a try? If you like it, feel free to take it away with
you and sprinkle it all over your body.”
As they exchanged glances, Skylar started contemplating the things he had in his mind, wondering if
he was up to no good again when she caught a glimpse of his abysmal pair of eyes.
After she heard his sarcastic remarks, she took the air freshener over and put it back. She turned
around and looked out the window to avoid his gaze because she had had enough of him.
Tobias dropped by the fast-food retail chain that was nearby the university. Skylar showed him the way

It turned out Carmen wasn’t lying because most of the promotions were available during the weekdays
—the days where the motels would rarely have any customers.
Tobias finally found a parking lot to park the car after going for rounds at McDonald’s. Meanwhile,
Skylar had headed into the store and got herself a cup of coke.
When Tobias made his way into the store, Skylar had her cheek on her palm, sipping the cup of coke
using the straw. He noticed the gorgeous woman with a glistering pair of eyes and flawless facial
features had grabbed the attention of the men in the store.
Despite her ethereal beauty, it wasn’t enough to charm and intrigue Tobias, who had been in countless
relationships with different types of women before, to the point of losing himself.
He took a seat opposite her and found the design of the seat odd due to the limited space—Tobias
couldn’t even sit upright.
Skylar bit the straw with all her might as though she held a grudge against the innocent straw.
“Where’s mine? Have you forgotten about me?” Tobias asked nonchalantly because it wasn’t a big deal
he should be fussing over.
