Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 178

Kai chuckled softly. “You really wanna know that badly? If I didn’t promise to tell you, you would never have come.”

Skylar did not respond. All she wanted was to lay down and go to sleep. Her dark circles could hardly be covered with concealer anymore.

“Tobias was abandoned by his father when he was young. His father took his mistress abroad and left a huge debt behind. Because of that, Aunt Claudia became a single mother with two sons and a huge debt. Thankfully, she is a very strong woman but they still lived a hard life back then. Tobias is known to be a filial son and has never truly disobeyed my aunt, so stop being an idiot, Skylar. As long as my aunt doesn’t accept you, you can never have a future with Tobias. Plus, he’s not a one-woman kind of man. I’m telling you all of this because I see you as my friend. You should seriously think this through. And one more thing, he used to have many women.”

Feeling restless, Skylar pushed the pasta around her plate. Truth be told, she already knew about most of what Kai told her, but she never knew that Tobias was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had a past like that.

She lowered her gaze. “I can’t leave him now. I understand everything you’re saying, but I just can’t let go.”

Disappointment tore through Kai before helplessness filled him. “Well, when you need a shoulder to cry on in the future, you can come to me.”

Skylar was stunned for a moment but did not say anything. If need be, she would cry on her own. She would never show her vulnerable side to others.

After they were done eating, Skylar went to pay the bill. When she took out her phone to pay via the app, she saw an unread WhatsApp message.

Tobias: I’ve arrived.

They were only two simple words, but a surge of warmth filled her chest at the sight of them.

She took solace in the fact that Tobias was at least trying to change. He was no longer like before when he disappeared without a trace for a month.

He had probably grown used to her existence just like she did his.

The next day, Skylar was with the crew all day. Even though she did not have any scenes, she had come over to watch. Currently, she was sitting on a stool by the side, observing quietly.

Kai really liked Skylar’s quiet and unassuming personality.

Tanya’s baby bump was quite obvious and she was smiling broadly in the photo.

Feeling her heart turn cold, Skylar returned Kai his phone.

Kai raised his brows. “Let’s go out for drinks tonight. You’ll feel better with alcohol in your system.”

Skylar immediately declined, “No thanks. I don’t drink and I’m not sad either.”

Kai peered at her with a doubtful expression. “You’re really stubborn, you know that?”

That being said, Kai couldn’t help but admit that Skylar was in fact a very good-tempered person as she turned out to be calmer than he had expected.

When Tobias received a call from Skylar in the middle of his meal, he stood to leave.
