Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 529

Tobias shot him a cold glare in response, prompting Sheldon to hold a hand over his mouth as he ran off.

With only Tobias and Idania left in the office, the awkward silence between them made the atmosphere

thick with tension.

Instead of showing Tobias the documents, Idania carefully retrieved a red velvet box from her handbag.

The box looked a little dirty and darker in color from how old it was.

She then opened the box in front of him, revealing a pair of rings inside. They were simple and elegant in

design without any additional embellishments nor patterns on them.

Tobias frowned at her as he found the rings rather familiar.

Idania flashed him a bitter smile and said, “The other reason behind my visit today is to return these rings

to you. We were going to put them on for our marriage back then, but I don’t think they are of any use to

me now. You should hand it over to the woman worthy of wearing it.”

Tobias took the box over and examined the rings inside. Both of their names could be found engraved on

the inside of the ring.

He then closed the box with a loud snap and handed it back to her.

“I gave it to you as a gift back then, so you have the right to do whatever you want with this. Feel free to

throw them away if you don’t want to keep them. I have no use for them anyway.”

Idania felt hurt by his cold attitude and protested anxiously, “B-But this is different! These are wedding

rings, and they hold a different meaning as opposed to engagement rings! I can’t be keeping our

wedding rings now that you’ve got yourself a girlfriend! That’d be unfair for her! You should give this to

her instead!”

Tobias frowned before breaking into a sarcastic chuckle. “How will she wear it if it isn’t even her size?

Why are you returning these rings to me now? Are you trying to remind me that I nearly married you

back then? Take them away. My girlfriend wouldn’t want used goods anyway!” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Idania’s gaze fell upon the pair of rings upon hearing that. Overwhelmed by emotions, her legs gave way

and caused her to slump against the sofa in front of him.

“Are you still mad at me for leaving without saying goodbye back then? I had my reasons for doing that!

You have no idea how sad I was when I left! It could very well be the thing I regret doing the most in life!”

she shouted with a melancholic look in her eyes.

If she’s looking for someone who loves living in the past, then she’s definitely come to the wrong

person… Tobias thought to himself as he stared at her.

“Everyone has their own difficult problems to deal with. I felt nothing when you left back then, and I have

done nothing to wrong you either, so I hold no grudges against you whatsoever.”

Idania bit down on her lip as her eyes began to tear up. She then whipped out a kraft paper bag from her

handbag and seemed to have come prepared.

She had been feeling extremely uncomfortable ever since she saw the news about Skylar yesterday.

Although the man’s face wasn’t clearly shown in the pictures, she was able to figure out that it must have

been Tobias.

That was when she knew she couldn’t just sit around idly anymore. She knew full well what she wanted

as well as why she had returned. As someone who never admitted defeat, going all out to achieve her

goals was all she could do.

Having spent such a long time with Tobias in the past, she understood him very well. Despite being a

cold and decisive person on the outside, he had a soft spot for women and would easily take pity on

them.

That was exactly what happened between him and Skylar, as her tragic past aroused his desire to

protect and care for her.

Idania took a deep breath and mustered every ounce of courage she had in her as she said, “I left you

back then because I was sick, and I didn’t want to be a burden to you. I thought I’d get myself treated

and reappear before you in good health, but… Unfortunately, life seems to hate me, and my sickness

has relapsed.”
