Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 536

Skylar stared up at him in a daze, clutching the necklace in her hand. If she remembered correctly, the price of this necklace was about seven hundred when bought online.

Thinking that she was waiting for him to put it on, Tobias reached out to take the necklace from her, but she didn’t let go of it.

“Why did you choose this brand? And why a little black swan?” The blunt words finally left Skylar’s mouth. She had an inkling that Tobias had not personally picked this necklace. He was the kind of person who thought the more expensive the gift was, the better. He would not usually even consider buying anything that was priced less than a thousand.

Tobias could tell from her expression that she didn’t like the gift as much as he thought she would. He’d asked Susan to help pick the necklace out, and all his secretary had told him was that the brand was popular amongst young people.

He didn’t know how much it had cost either; after all, it was the company’s money, and he couldn’t be bothered to care.

When he first laid eyes upon the necklace, he hadn’t been sure if it was gold or silver and didn’t even like the pendant on it but felt like he didn’t understand a young person’s tastes enough to question it.

“You don’t like it? I thought it suited your image; it’s youthful and cute,” Tobias explained. He had put effort into preparing this gift for her and was slightly hurt that he hadn’t gotten the response that he’d been anticipating.

Skylar instantly put her acting skills to good use, a bright smile blooming across her face as she clung onto his arm and nuzzled him as a cat would. “Of course I like it. I’d love anything you give me. Help me put it on, would you?”

Her hands trembled as they gripped tightly onto her paper plate, her eyes widening as she watched him pick up his phone.

Not bothering to put her cake down first, she instantly got to her feet and shot her hand out to grab ahold of his wrist. She didn’t care if she was acting suspiciously; Tobias looking at any of the pictures or videos from the event today was the last thing she wanted.

It would be a humiliating slap to her face.

The man glanced at her with mirth shining in his eyes, one hand reaching up to caress the side of her face. “What are you so nervous about? It’s not like you were cheating on me. I was there, and I saw everything, so you don’t have to explain yourself to me either. This wasn’t something you could have prepared for… It’s just… I now understand why my mother kept nagging and telling me she didn’t like that your job requires you to make so many public appearances.” His tone was deep and sincere, tugging at Skylar’s heartstrings. ”To be honest, I also somewhat regret letting you stay in the entertainment industry to chase your own dreams. I put you in a position where you have to face so many risks and danger.”
