Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 743

Miranda personally cooked a table full of dishes. All of the dishes were visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious. They looked just as enticing as the ones served in restaurants.

She removed her apron. Her face was flushed from the heat of the stove, making her complexion look even better.

She asked Tobias about what had happened last night, somewhat disappointed when Tobias didn't come upstairs to pay her a visit.

That had been her chance to impress all her relatives. Even the old, run-down house would have shone brightly because of that.

Tobias chose not to answer. He was indifferent toward Miranda, yet he still showed her respect as she was older than him.

He still respected Miranda much even though she had never acted like an elder.

Miranda's smile faded when she saw Tobias remain silent. She was fully aware of the situation in her heart.

Tobias had always looked down on her family, including all her relatives and even herself.

Miranda had cooked Skylar's favorite pot roast. She had learned about it during a conversation with her former neighbor.

Skylar's grandmother, Meredith, had lived frugally, relying on a meager monthly pension to support both herself and Skylar.

Whenever these thoughts crossed Miranda's mind, her heart would wrench in pain. She regretted giving up everything for love and believed that her self-imposed imprisonment could make Thomas feel guilty toward her.

It wasn't until she went through those experiences that she came to know that men are heartless. No matter how much she sacrificed, it amounted to nothing in return.

Pot roast was Skylar's favorite dish. However, since there was usually not much meat available at home, she mostly had cabbage and potato stew.

Miranda gazed at Skylar with pain and said, “You should eat more. Look at you. You're as thin as a rake. Women look better with a little more weight. Don't you agree, Tobias?”

Tobias chuckled and replied, “Being too fat is also not good. It makes a person look sloppy and foolish.”

Skylar only learned about the news in the afternoon. Her 2G network was always slower than others.

As soon as Skylar saw the news, her first thought was whether the director's tearful plea on Twitter had yielded results. After calming down and thinking it over, she couldn't understand why it was specifically the cinemas under the control of Ford Group. She began to suspect that Tobias had done so for her.

The matter caused a great stir and discussion online. Everyone was puzzled and couldn't figure out the reason behind it.

Skylar waited for Tobias to come downstairs. He had more free time than usual during this Christmas season, and he hardly answered any calls from the company.

Skylar wasn't used to Tobias being in this vacation mode. Usually, he would have received an average of one or two phone calls during a meal.

Tobias cast a glance at Skylar, who was sitting on the couch holding a small basin. She seemed lost in her own world.

He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out two coins. He then threw the coins into the basin that Skylar was holding. The next moment, Skylar raised her head.
