Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 537

“You regret your decision? But I can’t give up my career because of you now. I’ve worked so hard to get

to where I am today.”

Tobias’ heart lurched to the bottom of his stomach. Skylar had become someone just like him, possibly

because he had been a bad influence on her, or maybe because they’d spent too much time together.

Skylar from the past would never have answered this way. Back then, all she wanted was to pursue love;

she never had any plans for her career or her future.

She had sacrificed everything for her ex-boyfriend and had even been willing to give up her life for him.

All Tobias had done was throw out a casual, curious question, and she’d answered without missing a

beat.

Skylar’s breath hitched in her throat when she saw his gaze grow sharp, his expression seeming to

darken under the dim glow of the dining room lighting.

A moment of tense silence passed, and Tobias eventually deleted the push notification.

It was getting late.

Skylar hadn’t brought any clothes over, nor were there any of her belongings here at Tobias’ place, so it

would be inconvenient for her to stay the night.

To add to that, there were no women’s hygiene products in the house she could use, and she didn’t want

to leave the house the next morning looking like a mess.

She brought this up with Tobias, explaining how she had a shoot early the next day. She needed a good

night’s rest.

However, the man had no intention of letting her leave. His grip on her waist tightened slightly, the

warmth of his touch burning through her clothes. “Are you really going to leave me all alone like this?

Come on… Stay for a while longer.”

Men would say anything and everything they thought their partner wanted to hear whenever they wanted

to have sex — the stoic, proud Tobias was no exception.

Skylar internally rolled her eyes; she knew that he wasn’t physically capable of feeling lonely and always

preferred having his own time and space.

His hand slowly inched down her body, settling on her thigh, where he rubbed small circles into her skin.

“What are you waiting for? Follow me upstairs. Let me give you one of the most memorable birthdays of

your life.”

The sudden sound of a phone ringing interrupted the moment. Tobias got up to answer it, his warmth

instantly disappearing as he pulled away.

Fiddling with her collar, she watched him walk off to one side and furrow his eyebrows, placing one hand

on his hip in exasperation.

“Go see a doctor if you feel sick. I don’t know how to nurse you back to health.”

Something about the response gave her an uneasy feeling deep in her gut.

It couldn’t have been a man calling. Tobias wasn’t gay, and no guy in their right mind would try to go to

him, of all people, for comfort. It had to have been a woman calling.

The man abruptly ended the call and threw his phone somewhere, coming back to her and lifting her chin

up so he could look into her eyes. “The night is still young, and I promise to give you plenty of time to

rest.”

Skylar hesitated only for a few seconds before letting him pull her upstairs.

efforts.

She couldn’t wrap her head around how he could bear to be so cruel towards her when they used to be

in love in the past. I’m sure things would be different if it weren’t for Skylar.
