Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 571

Tobias cleared his throat while trying to ease the situation for her. “Don’t take everything on the internet

too seriously.”

Claudia smiled with content as she felt her son had become more considerate compared to before. Years

ago, he would not blink even if someone were to die in front of him.

She was aware that the internet was full of lies. With the freedom of speech, anyone could fabricate any

story they wanted without considering the consequences. Thus, she did not pay much attention to the

information she saw online.

If she did not come across that news today, she would not have even thought of having dinner with

Skylar. If everything said by her cousin was true, she felt it was necessary to reevaluate Skylar’s

personality.

In Claudia’s opinion, she always felt families and relatives should look after each other’s back. It was the

minimum quality that any human should have.

Hence, if Skylar were the type who forgot about her close ones after she got famous, Claudia would

certainly not be able to accept it.

Skylar was stunned when Claudia asked about Kevin, as she did not expect the latter to be so well

informed.

She must think I’m a selfish person who abandon my own family.

Just then, Tobias’ finger poked Skylar’s thigh gently below the table, signaling her not to explain too

much.

Before Skylar could open her mouth, Tobias got ahead of her. “Kevin’s fine and healthy. It’s just that he

has lost some money and could not pay his debt. That’s how the whole event was twisted.”

Claudia furrowed her brows deeply as she began to grow a prejudice towards Skylar’s family.

She said with despise. “I hope this won’t happen again, regardless of the reason. Ms. Jones, you should

reflect on what kind of relatives you have.”

Skylar did not respond but just displayed an unnatural smile.

She could not comprehend what exactly Claudia meant by that. What should I reflect my relatives for?

It’s not like I can choose my relatives.

Skylar took a few bites, but she seemed to have lost her appetite, even though the dishes were mainly

her favorite.

A moment later, Claudia picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. Her expression turned

displeased as there was chili in the dish.

It was not a coincidence but was deliberately instructed by Tobias to the chef, as Skylar loved spicy

foods.

Claudia expressed pickily, “Why’s the food so spicy today? My age cannot take such spices anymore.

Ms. Jones, please eat more. Don’t starve yourself every time you dine here.”

Skylar nodded submissively and resumed her pace of eating. The rain was becoming heavier outside,

along with the strong cold wind.

After dinner, as Skylar was getting ready to leave, Tobias persuaded, “It’s late, and it’s raining outside.

Why don’t you stay here tonight?”

Skylar gazed at the stormy night outside the window. At that instant, she recalled that Madelyn was on

leave, so she would be alone if she returned home.

Thinking of the disturbing midnight calls and the spooky laughs, her heart skipped a beat.

She whispered hesitantly, “That’s a little inappropriate. We’re not married yet.”

Tobias let out a faint smile. “Are you seriously worried about this? Do you think that if you leave now,

people will believe your innocence?”

Skylar was somewhat offended by Tobias’ comment.

However, she did not insist on leaving. As Claudia had gone upstairs to rest, Skylar did not mind staying

for the night.

She followed Tobias to his room. What welcomed her was a room of elegant cold grey pigment with

extraordinary simple interior design.

It was a total contrast with the fancy luxurious design in the living room.

Skylar spotted the small bed in the room, which only had around one meter half in width. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
