Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 127

Tobias stood behind Skylar. Suddenly, his low and deep voice sounded above her head. “A sense of security doesn’t have to come from others. Remember, you can’t rely on anyone in the world except yourself. Once you’re strong enough, you’ll feel secure.”

Skylar’s body tensed up. The closer Tobias was to her, the more anxious she became.

She found herself unable to rebuke his argument while she was overwhelmed by that familiar scent of his.

The light and refreshing white sandalwood cologne he had on masked the smell of tobacco and ignited her desire.

Tobias circled his arms around her waist firmly and inhaled the faint scent of her shampoo. “Let’s make a trip back. I want to see who’s staying there so you can stop imagining things and cease the accusations about my nonexistent mistress.”

With that, the force around her waist vanished. Skylar shot him a suspicious look. Does he really not know? Or is he pretending not to know?

As they made their way to International Garden, nervousness began to hit Skylar. She was apprehensive about approaching the property and confronting the woman who resided in it.

A million thoughts crossed her mind. Maybe she’s an ex-lover of Tobias? Perhaps International Garden was where she used to live?

When they arrived at International Garden, Laura saw Tobias and Skylar return at the same time.

She respectfully waited at the entrance to assist them with changing their footwear, but the pair couldn’t be bothered about it. Skylar was more concerned with clarifying the issue as soon as possible so that she could return to school without delay. Besides, she had to prepare for her trip to N Province.

She even wondered if Daryl had forgotten about her.

“Tobias, how did you know I’m back? I called you several times, but there was no answer. Then I heard that you were in Rome for business.”

Fearful that Skylar may develop the wrong idea, he introduced Zoey to her. “This is Zoey Steward, my friend’s younger sister.”

Skylar gave Zoey a light nod and a polite smile. She decided to turn a blind eye to the latter’s unfriendly demeanor. I can’t possibly ask her why she’s glaring at me on our first meeting…

Upon hearing the words “friend’s younger sister,” Zoey lowered her head dejectedly. Then, she murmured, “And this is? I’ve never seen her before, and she doesn’t look like Tanya.”

Skylar remained silent and waited for Tobias to introduce her.

She was unclear on what their relationship was. Referring to them as lovers would be an overstatement.

“This is my girlfriend, Skylar.” His tone was low and domineering, lifting Skylar’s spirits.
