Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 356

Seeing that Tobias was reluctant to speak for a long while, Skylar nudged herself gently in his embrace like a kitten. “Are you mad at me? I only did so because I had no choice.”

As she spoke, she lifted her head and started kissing his jaw affectionately.

Even though Tobias was reluctant to kiss her back, the anger within his eyes started to fade.

Tobias sullenly sent Skylar back home after the incident was settled.

People always said that absence made the heart grow fonder. If it were before, whenever Tobias met her, he would stare at her like a hungry beast, eager to take her to bed.

With that, his current indifference really concerned Skylar a lot.

The man wanted to leave soon after Skylar got out of the car. When the woman asked if he would come over again, he only gave a short response. “We’ll see when the time comes.”

Skylar did not hold much expectation anymore, as she figured that concluded their meeting for the day.

The moment she entered her house, she was startled to see Miranda sitting on the couch waiting for her. Only then did she remember that Miranda knew her password.

Spotting Miranda’s decadent expression, Skylar asked casually, “Did you quarrel with your husband again? Please don’t whine in front of me. I couldn’t care less about your marriage problem.”

Upon hearing that, the other woman choked on her words and started complaining in a low voice, “Could you please care more for me? After all, I’m still your mother. Even if I didn’t raise you, I was the one who gave birth to you.”

Skylar shot her a self-deprecating smile. “If I knew my parents would be you, I would not have come to this world.”

As expected, Miranda could not suppress the troubles in her heart. “Your dad’s company got into trouble, and Tobias refused to lay a hand. Your father had no choice but to beg Irene for help. I’m afraid they won’t be able to get a divorce if so.”

Feeling utterly annoyed, Skylar uttered, “They haven’t divorced, yet you’ve moved in with him. Isn’t this considered illegal cohabitation? You’re not a young teenager anymore. Could you please be wiser with your life decisions?”

Not to be outdone, Miranda shot back at Skylar. “You’re also living with Tobias without any clear commitment. Why don’t you school yourself?”

Miranda stopped crying instantly, as she had expected Skylar to figure out the whole case.

Nevertheless, the former refused to admit the truth. “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you’re an actress inside a crime film?”

Skylar shrugged. “No crime film would want me as their actress.”

Miranda had made a wrong move. Even if she threatened Thomas with the murder, it would be meaningless if the man failed to solve the crisis of Quest Group. He would end up in jail too.

Thomas was, without a doubt, a mean man. As he was confident Miranda would never let him face the sentence of the law, he requested her to solve the current problem in Quest Group as a condition to resume their relationship.

With that, the woman was left with no choice but to approach Skylar.

Miranda had been pushed to the edge of the cliff. “I don’t care. You’ve got to help me with this. If not, I will die in front of you.”
