Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 464

Since Lina had come prepared, Skylar was left with no choice but to bring her home that day.

As they walked out of the mall, Lina spotted Tobias in the parking basement from a distance away. He seems so near yet so far and unattainable.

She would never tell Skylar the reason why she resigned.

Ever since he brought Skylar to the massage parlor, he had never visited there again. What’s the point of staying at that place when I know that he won’t be showing up anymore? If I continue to stay there, I’ll just be like an abandoned dock that will never have any ship to anchor.

I want to make myself better, in the hopes that he will notice me one day.

Although Skylar had accepted Lina’s request to stay together with them, she still needed to ask for Tobias’ permission. “Do you mind letting my friend stay with us for a few days?”

He shrugged without making any remark. I don’t care much for Skylar’s social circle. Besides, it’s good that she has a friend to chat with whenever she feels lonely.

Once they were back, the three of them got out of the car together and headed inside the house.

Tobias walked in front of them with the keys dangling on his fingers with Skylar and Lina following behind him.

Even when he saw that Lina needed help to carry her heavy luggage, he did not even offer to help, which was typical behavior for Tobias—he was unchivalrous.

Seeing the lavishly decorated villa in front of her, Lina was green with envy. Even the air smells good in this house. Compared to the slum I’m residing at, this villa is more suitable for me.

Later on, Skylar showed her to the guest room, saying that all the things inside were brand new.

Lina hugged Skylar and buried her head into the crook of her neck, pretending to be touched. “I won’t stay here for too long. After everything is settled, I’ll definitely move out after some time.”

It was a commercial for MM Beans, and Skylar appeared on the screen for about ten seconds.

“Skylar is very pretty nowadays, but I remember she was quite unattractive when we were in high school. I guess an ugly duckling can really become a beautiful swan. Many of our ex-classmates also joked around, saying that she had gone under the knife to become prettier,” Lina said, intending for Tobias to hear it.

However, he heard none of it as he had left his seat and gone to the kitchen.

Over on the other side, Skylar was still busy in the kitchen. She was washing vegetables robotically at the sink. She hung her head low and stared blankly at the running water of the faucet, seemingly distracted and troubled.

Seeing the frown on her, Tobias went forward and hugged her waist from behind. “Let’s hire a housekeeper, Skylar. I can’t help you much in the kitchen. Why do you want to do house chores when we can hire a housekeeper?”

She turned around to face him and winked. “It’s fun to prepare a meal, especially for the ones I love. The way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.”
