Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 124



Chapter 124

Penelope gaped at Tobias in amazement as he took a seat beside Skylar.

Dumbfounded, she stared at him with her brows furrowed and uttered, “Are you trying to hit on her?”

From her voice, Tobias could tell that she was the one who gave him an earful on the phone just

now. What a brazen young lady.

“We’re very familiar with each other, so there’s no need for that.”

Skylar and Tobias were seated so close together that the aroma of his signature white sandalwood

cologne was all that permeated her nostrils, and she could even hear his breathing. Their proximity made

her so nervous that sweat trickled down her palms.

The admiration in Penelope’s gaze vanished when she recognized Tobias’s voice. Her attitude toward

him took a drastic change as she began to chide him, “The person who called Skylar earlier on was you,

right? No wonder she was fooled by you. Look at you sauntering around toying with women’s feelings by

leveraging your good looks. Despicable.”

Skylar hurriedly interrupted her, “Penelope, please stop talking. Let’s leave.”

She was fearful that Penelope’s brashness would infuriate Tobias.

Unperturbed by her sudden lecture, Tobias remained expressionless as he spoke, “Please make yourself

clear. How am I toying with women’s feelings?”

Penelope scoffed, “You still won’t admit it? Skylar’s only twenty, and yet you were so eager to take

advantage of her. You must be several years older than her. Please, do yourself a favor and avoid

harassing the young maidens of our country. Shame on you for robbing the cradle.”

Tobias pressed his lips into a thin line. Being labeled as someone who robbed the cradle irked him. It Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

was a grave insult to his character.

He glanced at Skylar and asked calmly, “Is that so? Tell me, how exactly did I take advantage of you?”

Skylar did not miss the hint of menace in his tone. In order to avoid aggravating the situation, she hastily

said, “This is not the time to talk about that. I’m going shopping with Penelope. You can stay here.”

With that, she hurriedly stood up to escape. However, Tobias reached out to grasp her wrist. “I just

arrived, and you’re already leaving. In a rush to meet your boyfriend?”

At the side, Penelope was watching the exchange unfold. She noticed that the way he looked at Skylar

was rather impassive. There was no inkling of affection in his gaze.

She felt indignant for Skylar and wondered what it was that she saw in him.

Skylar closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “I’ll go with you. There’re some things that I want to

clarify.”

After Tobias released his firm grip on her wrist, she shook her hand to relieve the pressure he caused.

Then she turned to Penelope and mumbled, “You should go home. I’ll come to visit soon, alright?”

Penelope was reluctant to leave Skylar alone, so she attempted to persuade her, “Skylar, don’t leave

with him all by yourself. Did you not see the news? There are people out there who turn to murder after

their relationships turn awry. What if you leave and never return?”

Tobias raised an eyebrow. “What a wild imagination you have. If you’re so worried about her, why don’t

you come along? It won’t be that much more laborious to kill another person.”

His intimidating remark made Penelope shudder. How did Skylar even meet this person? He’s merciless.

Determined not going to desert Skylar and leave her all alone with him, she stood in front of Skylar like a

mother hen protecting its offspring and gave Tobias a stern warning, “You can’t take Skylar away. If you

do, I’ll call the cops and tell them that you kidnapped her.”

Upon seeing this, Skylar hurriedly intervened. “Penelope, calm down. Let’s not cause a ruckus here.

Don’t worry. He won’t be doing anything bad to me. I’ll go with him by myself, okay? I have some things I

have to clarify by today.”
