Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 599

Chapter 599 Skylar Is Your Ex

Tobias did not respond to Gavin’s question. He wanted to avoid the topic as he did not wish to discuss

his romantic life with others.

However, Gavin was certain that, even though Tobias had broken off his engagement, the latter was

seeing someone new.

The hickeys and scratches on his neck explained everything.

During the brief chat with Tobias, Gavin had also mentioned that he did not intend to leave the country

anytime soon. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Even though Tobias did not ask for the reason, Gavin offered it willingly as he began to air his

grievances. “My mom has started to arrange for my marriage. She kept saying that I’m already over

thirty, and it’s time for me to settle down. She has even threatened to sever all ties with me if I don’t do

that.”

Tobias could empathize with how Gavin felt. Marriage of convenience was common for families like

theirs. After all, for businesses, it was all about cooperating to achieve mutual benefits.

Happily ever after only belonged to fairy tales. In reality, the most important thing was that both families

were of similar social status.

There was a lady whom Gavin had dated for a few years. Tobias had even met her a few times. She was

an attractive lady, but the both of them still broke up in the end.

With a hint of sorrow in his voice, Gavin smiled and said, “When I told my mom that I wanted to marry

Laurel, she said that other than bringing endless trouble into my life, marrying her would not bring me

any benefits. Her family is not well-to-do, and we belong to two separate worlds. Due to our different

upbringings, we wouldn’t have any similar values. Even if I gave her a credit card, she wouldn’t even

know what to spend on.”

Tobias fell silent as he recalled that he had a similar conversation with Claudia previously. Claudia had

also questioned him about Skylar’s value in his life.

However, Tobias had never needed to rely on anyone, much less a woman.

Gavin became increasingly dejected as he spoke. As Tobias promised Skylar that he would be back

before she slept, he got up to pay the bill. Noticing Gavin’s slightly drunken state, he asked, “Will you be

able to get home yourself?”

Gavin nodded and replied with slurred speech, “How can I let Mr. Ford send me back? I’ve already called

for a driver. Where are you heading to? Do you need a lift?”

Gavin’s house was just a short distance away from Tobias’, so he had assumed that they would be

traveling home together.

However, Tobias replied plainly, “My girlfriend is waiting for me at home. I’ll be going to her place.”

Gavin’s eyes lit up when he heard that. It was the first time he had heard Tobias mentioned the word

“girlfriend.”

Teasingly, he replied, “Which girl’s heart are you going to break again? When do you intend to break up

with her?”

Tobias shot a glance at his friend and said, “Do you really think I’m a player?”

After knowing Tobias for over a decade, Gavin knew Tobias’ character very well. “You’re not a player,

you’re just heartless. After a breakup, I’ll take more than a year to truly move on, but you probably won’t

even feel anything at all,” Gavin replied.

Tobias did not respond and merely let Gavin carry on with his story.

A while later, Tobias followed the address sent to her by Skylar and found her favorite food stalls, located

at the back gate of the woman’s high school.

Even though it was already late at night, a few stalls along both sides of the road were still brightly lit,

providing supper for people returning late.

Skylar had requested doughnuts, roasted chestnuts, and a hotdog. Tobias thought that since he was

already there, he might as well buy more.

As such, he also bought some fried chicken and pizza.

“I used to bring my ex-girlfriend here very often. As I did not have much money then, she always said

that we should just come here once a week. She loved coming here with me. Whenever we are here,

she would want to sit next to me instead of us facing each other.”

Tobias narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the young couple, who were sitting at a table at the kebab

stall.

The woman was resting her chin on her hand as she listened attentively to the man talking about his ex-

girlfriend. It was obvious from the look in her eyes that she was very in love with him.

“Is your ex-girlfriend really Skylar? She’s so pretty and elegant. Her complexion is so smooth and fair as

well.”

“Of course! I won’t lie to you. This is Skylar’s favorite stall. However, that’s all in the past. She’s so

famous now, and we no longer belong to the same world. You’re not jealous, right?”

The woman smiled coyly and replied, “Why would I be jealous? I’m not that petty.”
