Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 536



Chapter 536

Skylar stared up at him in a daze, clutching the necklace in her hand. If she remembered correctly, the

price of this necklace was about seven hundred when bought online.

Thinking that she was waiting for him to put it on, Tobias reached out to take the necklace from her, but Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

she didn’t let go of it.

“Why did you choose this brand? And why a little black swan?” The blunt words finally left Skylar’s

mouth. She had an inkling that Tobias had not personally picked this necklace. He was the kind of

person who thought the more expensive the gift was, the better. He would not usually even consider

buying anything that was priced less than a thousand.

Tobias could tell from her expression that she didn’t like the gift as much as he thought she would. He’d

asked Susan to help pick the necklace out, and all his secretary had told him was that the brand was

popular amongst young people.

He didn’t know how much it had cost either; after all, it was the company’s money, and he couldn’t be

bothered to care.

When he first laid eyes upon the necklace, he hadn’t been sure if it was gold or silver and didn’t even like

the pendant on it but felt like he didn’t understand a young person’s tastes enough to question it.

“You don’t like it? I thought it suited your image; it’s youthful and cute,” Tobias explained. He had put

effort into preparing this gift for her and was slightly hurt that he hadn’t gotten the response that he’d

been anticipating.

Skylar instantly put her acting skills to good use, a bright smile blooming across her face as she clung

onto his arm and nuzzled him as a cat would. “Of course I like it. I’d love anything you give me. Help me

put it on, would you?”

After freezing for a split second, he did as she asked, clumsily fastening the necklace around her neck.

Skylar could tell from his grumbling about the thin chain and tiny latch that this was likely his first time

doing such a thing.

Then, she set about cutting the cake into slices, giving the first slice to Tobias. Sharing cake with

someone else was one of the staples of celebrating a birthday, after all.

Without thinking too much into it, Tobias shook his head and rejected the cake. “I don’t like sweet things,”

he said. “Plus, you won’t have enough cake left over if you give some to me. You can go ahead and eat it

all.”

This birthday celebration was making Skylar feel some very complicated emotions. She once again

reminded herself to not expect too much from him; it was good enough that he’d remembered in the first

place. I’ll just pretend he has diabetes and will get horribly sick if he eats a single bite of cake or

something.

Skylar was nibbling away at her cake when Tobias’ phone screen lit up with a push notification from a

social media app. It was a post about the incident that had happened at the shopping mall earlier.

Her hands trembled as they gripped tightly onto her paper plate, her eyes widening as she watched him

pick up his phone.

Not bothering to put her cake down first, she instantly got to her feet and shot her hand out to grab ahold

of his wrist. She didn’t care if she was acting suspiciously; Tobias looking at any of the pictures or videos

from the event today was the last thing she wanted.

It would be a humiliating slap to her face.

The man glanced at her with mirth shining in his eyes, one hand reaching up to caress the side of her

face. “What are you so nervous about? It’s not like you were cheating on me. I was there, and I saw

everything, so you don’t have to explain yourself to me either. This wasn’t something you could have

prepared for… It’s just… I now understand why my mother kept nagging and telling me she didn’t like

that your job requires you to make so many public appearances.” His tone was deep and sincere,

tugging at Skylar’s heartstrings. ”To be honest, I also somewhat regret letting you stay in the

entertainment industry to chase your own dreams. I put you in a position where you have to face so

many risks and danger.”
