Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 186

Skylar asked, “My uncle was fired from the factory and can’t find a job now. Is this your doing?”

Tobias was silent for a while before changing the subject. “It’s rare for me to leave the company so early. You must be hungry. Come, I’ll take you to dinner! What do you feel like eating? Or do you wanna buy something back to cook?”

Skylar did not prod further. What can I do even after getting the answer? Accuse Tobias of being too ruthless in his punishment?

“Let’s eat at home. I’ll cook for you. What do you feel like eating…” Skylar looked at the time and found that it was almost six.

“I’m fine with anything you cook.” Tobias did not make any requests. He was never a picky eater, anyway, his priority had always been to fill his belly.

He brought Skylar to the supermarket to buy the ingredients she needed for cooking.

In the past, Skylar had always envied couples shopping in the supermarket. The man would push the cart while the woman would carefully select the ingredients. Then, they would go home together and cook.

In her mind, shopping for groceries with the person she loved was such a happy feeling.

However, Skylar was not lucky enough to feel this happiness because Tobias kept answering his phone while pushing the cart with one hand.

Tobias was speaking in fluent French. Even though Skylar could not understand the language, she could tell that Tobias was not in a good mood from his furrowed brows.

Skylar chose what she needed and gestured to Tobias, asking if he was done.

Tobias hung up the call and said apologetically, “Sorry for the long call. Have you gotten everything you need?”

Skylar nodded, motioning at the shopping cart that was piled high with varying items.

Tobias bent to rummage through the cart. “You didn’t get the most important thing! I don’t wanna have to go out to buy condoms when we’re already in the thick of things.”

Skylar’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, they had used up the last box yesterday night.

Tobias really had a ravenous appetite for sex. Under normal circumstances, she would never get the chance to have a peaceful sleep at night.

Skylar immediately released Tobias’ hand just as the air around them went still.

Skylar greeted softly, “Mrs. Ford…”

“Don’t you dare talk to me,” Claudia lashed out.

She took out a box of condoms from the cart and said in a voice trembling with anger, “Tanya is pregnant with your child, but you’re still fooling around with another woman every night. You even have the mood to go grocery shopping with her. Tobias Ford, how long are you going to keep bullying Tanya? How did I ever give birth to a son like you? In the past, I’ve always turned a blind eye to the things you did, but this is too much.”

Tobias frowned deeply as his mother seethed with anger while Tanya had put on an aggrieved look on her face with tears pooling in her eyes.

He found it embarrassing that his mother had aired their dirty laundry in public.

A crowd had formed around them. Since they only heard one side of the story, all of them assumed that he had done something despicable.

Indeed, he had done his fair share of shady things, but he was not despicable to this extent.
