Chapter 625 Every Word Is Adding Fuel To Fire
When Tobias wanted to stub his cigarette out, he realized that the ashtray wasn't on the table. Finally,
his gaze fell onto the cake Skylar bought and that was where the cigarette butt ended.
After exchanging a fiery gaze, Skylar threw her phone over to Tobias so that he could have free rein
over it.
When he turned on her phone, he gave her the side-eye and asked, “How am I going to access it
without the passcode?”
“951028,” Skylar uttered. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
It was a number she had used for years and never changed, for she was worried about forgetting her
passcode all the time. The habit was a terrifying thing indeed.
However, Tobias didn't key in the number. Instead, he looked at her in grim silence. “This isn't your
birthday date.”
Biting her lip, Skylar found it difficult to explain. Since she wasn't going to tell him that the number was
an ex-boyfriend's birthday, she replied awkwardly, “It's just a number I randomly chose and doesn't
really mean anything. Didn't you ask for my phone? I've already given you the passcode.”
Tobias narrowed his gaze and stared the lying Skylar down. He demanded, “Tell me the truth. Since
when have you started lying to my face?”
With her mind blanking out temporarily, Skylar couldn't think of a credible excuse despite racking her
brains.
After a while, she answered, “Initially, I wanted to use your birthday as the passcode but remembered
the wrong date.”
As Tobias grabbed Skylar's wrist with his left hand, he gave her a tug and caused her to fall onto his
lap. “I'm giving you three chances but you have already lied twice. For your final chance, I hope that
you'll just be honest.”
Skylar decided to come clean. “It's my ex-boyfriend's birthday which I have been using for a long time
due to my habit of forgetting my passwords. I hope you can be magnanimous and look past this
mistake.”
The tense expression on Tobias' face didn't ease as Skylar expected. Instead, he asserted, “How can I
not be bothered by it? To me, this is nothing but an excuse. There's so such thing as a habit. If you
can't bring yourself to change it, why don't you go back to his side?”
The moment Tobias recalled how Skylar was willing to subject herself to such a despicable deal of
working as a bargirl to save Jeremy's life, he could feel how important the latter was to her.
Can it be that she hasn't forgotten him yet? If I was the one in that situation, would she have done the
same for me?
Noticing Tobias' darkening expression, Skylar insisted, “It's just an old habit of mine. I'll change the
passcode if that makes you happy.”
At that moment, Tobias was no longer interested in finding out who had been calling Skylar incessantly.
If she had known better early on, she wouldn't have kept using the passcode until now.
What a shitty habit.
He asked, “In that case, when is my birthday?”
Skylar froze at the questions, for she had never cared nor asked about it before.
Since he never told her, there was no way she would know.
Staring at her failure to answer, he cracked a faint smile. That's my girl.
When he lay his jacket on his arm, Skylar called out to him, “Where are you going at this ungodly
hour?”
Tobias had wanted to calm himself down in the study but realized he didn't feel like staying there at all.
Thus, he replied coldly, “You should go to bed first.”
Upon seeing Tobias leave, Skylar ran after him but stopped abruptly at the door when it dawned upon
her that whatever she said would just add fuel to fire. All she could do was wait for him to calm down.
