Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 615

Chapter 615 Unreasonable

When Tobias saw that the call was from Idania, he declined it without any hesitation. Freeing a hand from the steering wheel, he took the phone and tossed it into the center console box.

He drove on and did not even ask Eva for her address. He had been to that house numerous times and could easily find his way there without the help of GPS navigation.

“Are you still in contact with Brayden?” he asked solemnly in his deep voice.

Why is he asking about my personal life? Is it because of my relationship with Skylar?

Eva unconsciously preened herself and tucked away some stray strands of hair behind her ears as she contemplated the question.

“I have no interest in Mr. Scott. My upbringing and decency would not allow me to get involved with a married man.” She decided she had to make her stand clear.

Tobias let out a small wry smile and did not probe further. It was ironic to him that Eva seemed to be proud of her upbringing, as he felt her parents had pretty bad table manners.

After entering the neighborhood, Tobias slowed down and brought the car to a smooth stop. Eva was mesmerized by the masculine contours of his face as she watched him turn off the engine.

“Thank you for the ride, Mr. Ford. Have a safe drive home,” she thanked him and got ready to alight from the car.

“How is your brother? Is he still addicted to gambling?” Tobias asked.

“I am to be blamed for that. I have been too busy with work and did not give him enough attention.” Eva frowned lightly as she spoke, sounding self-reproachful.

Tobias knew what she was trying to get at, but chose not to respond to that.

Eva really wanted to invite Tobias to her place for a drink, but knowing her parents would be in, she could only bury that wishful thinking and alighted from the vehicle with regrets.

Skylar was awoken by the sound of the door opening. The house was dead quiet at night, so she could clearly hear every movement, including the sound of the keys being placed on the table

Skylar pulled over a blanket and gently put it over Tobias. The sky was getting lighter and soon he would be waking up.

She had no idea when she drifted off to sleep, but when she woke up again in the morning, Tobias was nowhere to be found. The crumpled bedsheet was a clear sign that he had been back and it was not a dream.

She took a quick shower and put on an oversized shirt over her undies. She had no plans to get out of the house and decided to dress casually and comfortably. Since the house was heated and cozily warm, there was no need to bundle herself up.

She walked down to the dining hall and realized Tobias was still around. He had not left as she had expected.

His hand tightened around the glass of milk he was holding as he gave her a scrutinizing look from head to toe. His gaze lingered on her exposed long legs, and she could sense his anger even before he spoke.

“Is that a top or a dress? Cover yourself up and stop showing so much of your legs! Who are you trying to seduce?” he hissed. After they got close, he had become a control freak who would demand her to dress conservatively.

That was the same man who had no qualms about stripping her naked and confining her to the operations table for an examination when they first got acquainted. Eva could only sigh at the unreasonable double standards that seemed to be second nature to most men.
