Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 598

Chapter 598 More Alone Time

Skylar wasn’t particularly in a good mood that day after what happened to Thomas, and eating was her way to make herself feel better.

Meanwhile, Tobias was late by almost an hour for his meeting.

When Gavin saw the man, he smiled and said jokingly, “Mr. Ford, it seems like you are losing your sense of time.”

If not for the hickeys on Tobias’ neck, Gavin would have thought that the man was delayed due to a meeting at his office.

Tobias unbuttoned his suit and replied, “Sorry, I was held up just now.”

Gavin poured Tobias a glass of wine and handed over the financial documents of ZY Group to him. “I’ve already completed the task you entrusted me with. Your dad has strong financial resources. The reason he returned to the country is for the new energy project. New energy is developing rapidly in our country, and it’s just normal that he would also want a share of the pie.”

Tobias appeared to be deep in thought as he studied the assets belonging to his dad. Moments later, he spoke coldly, “Seems like I’ve underestimated him. He’s more persistent than I thought! Since he wants to play this game, let’s have some fun with him.”

Gavin and Tobias had known each other for years, since their younger days, and Gavin had seen Tobias built his empire from nothing.

He knew that Tobias harbored a deep grudge against his dad, but he was in no position to judge as it did not concern him.

“There’s also something else. I’ve found out that your dad had recently divorced. He’s quite something to force that woman to leave the marriage with just a villa in the suburbs of Summerbank and nothing else,” Gavin shared while adjusting his spectacles.

“I heard that you were getting married some time back. You’ve even gotten engaged, but you broke off the engagement?” As Gavin had not caught up with Tobias for quite a while, he was not updated with the latest happenings.

In fact, he had only heard about the news recently and was not exactly surprised.

After all, Tobias was of marriageable age, and it was time for him to settle down. However, he did not expect that Tobias would even agree to the engagement in the first place.

Gavin had the impression that Tobias was a commitment-phobe and that marriage was never in his cards.

He could also clearly remember what Tobias said during a previous conversation. “Marriage is nothing but a burden. I can’t imagine facing the same woman every day, without any personal space. I prefer having more alone time.”
