Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 36

Being sensitive as she was, Skylar was always concerned about how others would feel, even though no

one cared about how she felt.

She was about to get out of the car when Tobias grabbed her by the waist. “It’s better to have a man

around you as you look so weak. Aren’t you afraid of being bullied?”

Better? I’ve seen how things got “better” last night with you around me.

You didn’t play by the rules at all and actually allowed Jeremy to get off so cheap.

He then leaned closer to her and said with his lips pressing against her ear, “I won’t cause you trouble. I’ll

go in with you.”

Skylar noticed that his hand was moving down her body as he touched her, teasing her like how he

always did.

Thus, she had no choice but to agree to him.

“Who’s this, Skylar?” Standing in the doorway, Wesley scrutinized the man standing next to his niece.

“My friend…” Skylar introduced him perfunctorily as she could not say that this man was her sugar

daddy.

“Boyfriend,” Tobias corrected.

Skylar shot him a look. Evidently, she was ashamed to say that they were a couple.

Wesley had met Skylar’s boyfriend before and knew that he was a tall young man with a gentlemanly

appearance.

Whereas the man in front of him now was obviously much older than Skylar was even though he was

good-looking and so much taller than Jeremy.

Nonetheless, Wesley let them in and gave them two pairs of old dirty house-slippers.

Tobias was obviously disgusted by it.

Seeing that Skylar had come back again, Sharon mocked, “Why did you bring another person with you

when our place is already so small?”

Tobias gave her a cold look.

“We won’t stay for long and will leave soon,” explained Skylar.

At first glance, Tobias disliked how Sharon looked as her high cheekbones and thin eyebrows gave the

impression that she was mean-spirited.

“Why didn’t you tell me about my mom’s application for medical parole?” Skylar asked politely without

being confrontational.

Sighing, Wesley replied, “What’s the point of telling you? Can you afford her treatment after she’s

released on medical parole?”

Tobias cast a fleeting glance at Wesley. “Isn’t she your sister? Why can’t you pay for it?”

Meanwhile, Sharon cleaned the chip crumbs that were left on her fingers and said, “Did you seriously

think we’ve never thought of that before? We’re barely surviving over here! Where would we get the

money for that? By talking? Huh? Why don’t you tell me, Mr. Smarty-Pants!”

Skylar had never expected her uncle and aunt to help either, so she secretly tugged at Tobias’ sleeve,

trying to stop him from talking.

Then, she said in a low voice, “I just wanna know how my mom is doing. Someone from the prison called

me today, but I didn’t get to ask them.”

“Hmph… She’s still as deranged as ever. Listen to me, Skylar, don’t let her come out. It’ll be a burden.

It’s not like you can take care of her or even afford her treatment!” Wesley replied with a grunt. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon hearing him saying something so mean, Skylar could stand it anymore and stood up angrily, her

eyes slightly reddened. “Uncle Wesley, my mom is your sister. How can you be so cruel?”

Sharon rolled her eyes at her. “Hey! We don’t need this kind of sister. I mean, just look at your mom!

What did she ever do to contribute to the family?”

If it weren’t for Skylar, Tobias would have never known how ignoble people like them were.

Wrapping his arm around Skylar’s shoulders, Tobias said gently, “I told you. You’re just wasting your time

here. Why must you talk about family ties with an animal?”

His cruel words hit the nail on the head.
