Chapter 608 Sleep Is All About Comfort

Tobias sat through all the talking Skylar did rather expressionlessly. He then paused before replying, “Aren’t you tired from standing out there for so long? Why don’t you come inside to have something to eat?”

With her eyes widened, Skylar blinked. “Don’t you find this surprising in the least?”

“Not really. This is how the entertainment industry has always functioned. You could change your sexual orientation or the way you pick your partners just to get ahead. Everyone will do what they must in order to get what they want. You’ll come to see this in time,” Tobias said.

Skylar bent down to take off her shoes before she placed them neatly on the rack. In the past, she would usually leave them by the door. Whenever Tobias saw her do that, he would unfailingly help to pick them up and put them away.

Having no one pointing it out was no excuse to remain oblivious. A couple of times later, Skylar already made it a habit to place her own shoes in their proper place.

“Since you are already aware of Kate’s sexual orientation, aren’t you worried about her trying to seduce me?” Thinking back on it, Skylar found an odd fixation about the manner Kate looked at her sometimes.

Maybe she had been overthinking it, and perhaps the latter was not even interested in her.

Unhurriedly, Tobias gently explained, “That was why I’ve always made it clear to her that you’re my woman. Even if she grew a pair, she wouldn’t dare harbor any funny ideas toward you.”

Skylar exhaled and appeared to be deflated.

Having long known about Kate, Tobias had already taken all these precautions while she had been left out of the loop and groping in the dark, only to realize it now.

That made her even more convinced that she would not be able to get the most out of her collaboration with Kate, especially with Amelia now being the latter’s love interest.

Thoughts of changing managers started to cross her mind. The timing may not be right at present, so this would probably have to wait until filming wraps up.

Upstairs, the man had already made his presence felt inside the bedroom and at the basin.

When she opened the closet, she saw that half of it had been filled with Tobias’ formal clothes. Alongside these, there were only a few sparing pieces of casual wear inside.

In the past, this place had only been Tobias’ temporary abode where he often walked around with only his pants on. Now, it felt more like home to him.

Skylar sat herself down by the bed. The freshly laid pink sheets trimmed with lace were evidently Madelyn’s kind of aesthetics.

Many more basic household essentials had also been purchased in Skylar’s stead, as the latter had been hampered by indecision and did not have too much free time.

In retrospect, I should have gone and made these purchases online myself.

For a moment, Tobias thought this was something that Skylar was recently into and wanted to respect her choices, but the pink bedsheets became a bit of an eyesore for him whenever he walked into the bedroom. Even the material itself felt cheap to him.

“Do all girls fancy the color pink?”

Under the impression that Tobias was referring to her lipstick, she was quite thrilled that he had finally noticed how rosy her lips were.

She nodded in affirmation. “Yeah, I do. Every girl dreams of being a princess.”

The sight of the pink sheets only increasingly got on Tobias’ nerves. “You’re no longer a little girl. Compared to a princess, I’d much prefer a lascivious whore in bed.”

Whatever good mood Skylar was in was left in the dust immediately. Tobias sifted through the cabinet and found a set of gray-colored sheets that was visually subtle and more comfortable to sleep on in the buff.

Now that he was living with Skylar, there would be ample opportunities to go to bed naked. If they were to use a material that stung to the touch, it would definitely not be cozy. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Why are you changing out the sheets? It was only put on this morning,” Skylar asked him.

Tobias was smiling from ear to ear. “In preparation for the night. Pure cotton feels more comfortable, and isn’t sleep all about comfort? What’s the point of making the sheets so garish?”
