Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 19

Yet when Thomas saw her, he didn’t even let her in as he taunted her at the door. “Just seeing your face

reminds me of your murderer mother. You two disgust me.”

Thomas then whipped out a stack of cash from his wallet and threw them onto her face. “Take this and

leave. And don’t you dare show up in front of me ever again.”

It also happened to be Avery’s birthday that day. She was walking out holding a cake just as Skylar was

about to leave.

“Skylar, have some cake before you leave,” she said, acting kind.

But Skylar pushed her aside, and the cake fell to the ground. “Why did you do that?” Avery whimpered.

Young Skylar was freezing from the cold, yet Thomas did not give a tinker’s damn as he booted her in

the stomach.

With the unpleasant memories flashing before her eyes, Skylar turned off the television.

Skylar and the Joneses were at daggers drawn. Even if she was driven to despair, she had no thoughts

of seeking Thomas’ help.

At this moment, she heard a noise downstairs. Recollecting herself, she tiptoed her way to the mouth of

the stairs.

The housekeeper, Laura, was helping Tobias with the slippers.

Son of a gun… Tobias is actually here?

Skylar quickly retreated into her room and locked the door, playing a snoring sound from her phone and

blasting it through the speaker at the door.

“Where is she?” Tobias removed his coat and gave it to Laura.

“She should be resting upstairs, Mr. Ford. Do you need any supper?”

“No, thanks,” he said tersely.

Laura watched as Tobias went up the stairs. She had been guarding the villa for a long time, but it was

her first time seeing Tobias coming over at this hour, not to mention bringing home a woman.

At that moment, Skylar had stuck her ear against the wall.

From the hallway to Skylar’s room, Tobias could hear the deafening sound of snoring.

Hmph, only a pig would snore that loud. Does she think I’m that daft?

He turned the doorknob, but found that it was locked.

“I have no time to play games with you.”

Even so, Skylar couldn’t hear Tobias clearly through the door.

“Could you get me the spare key?” Tobias said to Laura.

What’s up with this girl? She just moved in, and she’s shutting out Mr. Ford already?

Skylar, upon hearing someone unlocking the door, quickly jumped into bed and buried herself

underneath the blanket.

She had totally forgotten about her phone that was still playing the snoring sound on repeat.

But the sound was soon interrupted by a phone call.

Tobias picked up her phone on the ground, only to see the word “Hubby” flashing on the screen. This guy Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

again!

At the same time, Skylar wanted to sit up to answer her phone, but her guts told her not to.

“Hey, your hubby is calling you. Are you sure you don’t want to pick up?” His cold voice sounded out in

the room.

Skylar pretended not to hear anything as she squeezed her eyes shut.

Seeing that she was continuing her act, Tobias deliberately answered the phone and turned on the

speaker.

“Skylar, where are you? Your clothes are still at my place. When are you going to pick them up? I’ve

already washed your underwear.”

Jeremy’s frivolous voice was heard.

She’s even thrown her underwear at another man’s house? Tobias’s eyes were instantly filled with

hostility.

“Skylar, are you listening to me?” Jeremy asked.

Sh*t, Jeremy. Are you freaking crazy or something? I don’t remember you being this clingy when we first

started going out!
