Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 112

Erica simply wanted to know how Skylar found herself such a wealthy backing. She did not expect the

latter to be so cold to her.

In the end, Skylar left with Tobias without answering her question, leaving her in immense exasperation.

Meanwhile, her boyfriend heaved a sigh of relief. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“I must say… Your friend is pretty skillful to have that man wrapped around her fingers.”

Erica’s brows furrowed. “You know that guy? No wonder you behaved so strangely just now. Who is he?

He seems filthy rich, being able to buy those handbags like he’s buying groceries at the market.” As she

said so, she could not help but notice her boyfriend’s inferiority in comparison. His wealth came nowhere

close to the man Skylar was with.

“Wait, you didn’t recognize him? That was Tobias Ford! People like him spend money like water.”

Erica let out an audible gasp. “T-Tobias Ford? You’re telling me that Skylar Jones is dating Tobias Ford,

the CEO?”

While the lady remained rooted to the spot in shock, Tobias and Skylar had already made their way to

the other end of the mall. Passing by the Chanel store, Tobias promptly dragged the lady in, insistent on

a wardrobe makeover.

He could not bear seeing her natural beauty be trampled by her plain-looking clothes.

Skylar did not want to enter the outlet initially, but she was no match for the man’s physical strength.

Helplessly looking around, she eventually walked over to a sleek Chanel-brand outerwear. Skylar had no

intention of buying it, but still took a look at the price tag. It was a habit inculcated in her since childhood.

Tobias took this as a sign of her liking the product. Without a word, he removed it from the racks and

handed it over to a nearby staff, despite Skylar’s protests. Then, urging her to look at the other clothes in

the store, Tobias began to pile the shopping cart once again.

While Tobias was handling the transaction, the lady became gloomy at the side. Money had always been

a luxury while growing up, thus she felt extremely uncomfortable at the mindless splurging that was

happening.

As sauntered towards the mall’s elevator, Skylar’s dour expression piqued the man’s concern. “Hey, most

ladies I know would be in raptures by now. Aren’t you happy after doing so much shopping?”

Skylar shook her head. “This way of spending money just doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t think we

should be- “

Tobias pulled her into a semi-embrace, partly to free up the walkway for other customers to exit the lift,

and partly to shut her up.

“Listen here. I grew up in a penurious family. My mother scrimped and saved every penny for my brother

and I, and never took care of herself. In the end, her sacrifices were for nothing. My father had an affair

and they got a divorce. He even insisted for the mistress to be present when they signed the papers.

Thus, the moral of the story is that you should never show mercy on your spouse’s wallet. Just spend

whatever you want and treat yourself right.”

He had never revealed this to anyone else. Skylar was his first listener.

Unfortunately, the lady’s takeaway was vastly different from what he intended. Choosing to focus on the

affair aspect, she jibed indirectly, “I see that you’ve taken after your father a little.”

Till today, she remembered how she and Tobias met. Truth to be told, if the man had a change of heart

all of a sudden one day, she would not be surprised.

Tobias made no reply for a moment, making her slightly apprehensive. But luckily, he did not seem to

mind her snide remark in the end.

Instead, he confessed, “Honestly, I know I can be a jerk. I admit that I feel happy around you, and that

you occupy so much of my heart that I don’t have room to accommodate other ladies for now. But

whether this remains true in the future is entirely up to your performance.”

Nice, a classic jacka*s indeed.

The conversation then ended there. Tobias did not wish to elaborate further.

The pair took the lift to the top floor, though they had no particular destination in mind. Skylar, who had

just recovered from a night of fever and endured miles of walking from the shopping trip, desperately

needed a break.

Before them was the cinemas. There was a large poster that hung at the entrance, promoting a locally-

produced horror movie that received rave reviews recently.

On it, a lady dressed in white stood ominously with only half her face shown.

It was rare for a local horror film to take the box office by storm, signaling how well-produced it was.

Apparently, the movie was so scary that someone passed away from a heart attack during the movie.

“Tobias, what about I treat you to a movie?”
