Tobias gazed at her sternly. “You were afraid I’d go back on my word and end up not taking your mother here, weren’t you? That’s why you came here to verify things. You said you didn’t want to see her, but here you are anyway.”

“But how can I trust you? It’s not like we’re that close or in an actual relationship.”

Tobias let go of her and returned to his seat. Amidst his frosty presence, he silently cautioned himself to remain clearheaded.

“Not that close? How many times have we done it with each other? You told me all this, and I promised to help you, so stop doubting me.”
