Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 129

“Zoey is my friend’s younger sister. I’ve been taking care of her since her brother passed on a few years

back. We were rather close, so he requested for me to look after her. Is this explanation clear enough for

you?”

That sounded like an old trick in the book to Skylar. However, she knew she would seem petty if she

continued to dwell on this matter, so she forced out a smile. “I think she likes you. Her gaze seemed

suspicious,” commented Skylar.

She was a Scorpio, and they were known to possess strong intuitions on top of being meticulous. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Tobias replied coldly, “Look, kid. There are many women out there who are infatuated with me. Does that

mean I have to become their lover? I can’t dictate how others feel. All I can do is control my own

feelings.”

Being referred to as a kid irked Skylar. How is it possible that no woman can resist his charms? Being in

a relationship with him means that I’m bound to torment myself over the possibility of him cheating.

Moreover, he’s the kind of guy who won’t even bother to update you on his whereabouts or send you

sweet nothings every minute.

Skylar didn’t bother probing further. The only thing she could do was to deal with the problem when it

actually occurred.

Instead of returning to the hotel with Skylar, Tobias hailed a cab to send her back to school.

At the entrance of the school, Skylar bid him farewell. “Don’t bother sending me. It’s a long journey from

here.”

He placed his hand on her shoulder and kissed her cheek. “I’ll accompany you. What if you run into a

lusting young man and he drags you into the bushes?”

That sent a chill down her spine as she knew that he was not spouting nonsense.

When she first entered the school, she had heard of an incident where a senior who was jogging was

dragged into the bushes. She was then raped and murdered. Unfortunately, the culprit got away scot-

free and remained at large. Whenever the incident came up in conversations, students would be

consumed by fear.

“You’ve heard of that incident too? I didn’t expect that,” Skylar teased.

He frowned slightly and replied, “The victim was my brother’s ex-girlfriend. We offered a handsome sum

to catch the killer but to no avail. So it’d be better for you to be wary. I’ve installed a GPS system in your

phone as well.”

She was taken aback. I didn’t expect Sheldon to have such a past. I guess he isn’t that sentimental after

all. His girlfriend has just passed on and he’s already gotten himself a new one.

Tobias kept Skylar company until they reached her doorstep. All of a sudden, a dark figure jumped out

and startled Skylar. Her instinctive reaction was to dive into Tobias’s arms, to which he responded by

holding her firmly.

When she realized it was Jackson, she heaved a sigh of relief. He hadn’t shown up in a while, but his

incessant text messages were enough to irritate Skylar.

“No wonder you called off the wedding. It’s true that you have someone else.” Hoping to reconcile with

Skylar, Jackson had been waiting since five o’clock with a large bouquet of fresh flowers in his hands.

However, never did he expect to witness her holding hands with another man who even gave her a peck.

Tobias resisted the urge to scoff at the fool who held a bouquet of flowers in his hands. That’s so last

century. I can’t believe he’s still out here giving girls roses.

Skylar responded, “I never planned to marry you. It has always been your wishful thinking. We’ve already

returned your family the money. What more do you want?”

Although her tone was gentle, she was actually doing her best to suppress her fury. She could hardly

contain the urge to expose Jackson and his misdeeds.
