Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 174

Tobias shot Kai a dangerous look.

“Does Skylar have other plans?” Daryl conjectured.

Tobias replied plainly, “I have my own arrangements. Just take care of her during this period of time. She’s still young and is bound to make mistakes, so cut her some slack whenever you can.”

Kai felt uneasy bearing witness to Tobias’ affection toward Skylar. He obviously has a wife but he’s still messing around with a young girl.

The dinner was a long and boring one. Although Skylar was the main topic of discussion, she felt like an outsider with no room to pitch in her opinion.

Wanting to get some fresh air, she stood up with the excuse of using the restroom. Seeing this, Kai followed her out as well.

“I didn’t get to ask you before. Why bother being with Tobias?” A maelstrom of emotions swirled in Kai’s eyes.

“There’s no particular reason and I don’t really have an answer for you.” Skylar stood by the restaurant’s entrance as the summer night breeze blew past, the slightly humid air making her body feel sticky.

“The two of you aren’t compatible. All he can give you is money. Nothing else,” Kai said bluntly. His heart felt as if it was being squeezed by an invisible force.

Skylar had already lost count of the number of times she had heard people saying the same thing.

She shrugged and explained, “I know that, but I can’t bear to break up with him just yet. He treats me very well and that’s enough for me.”

It seemed to Kai that Skylar was only deceiving herself, and he felt that they had different notions of good treatment. He found it hard to believe that Tobias would treat Skylar well.

After all, his cousin had an abundance of women throwing themselves at him and had already grown used to it, so it was impossible that his numb heart could warm up to a woman.

Skylar was naive and inexperienced, thinking that he cared just because he came to see her.

Kai sighed in defeat. “This is your choice and I respect it, but don’t fall in too deep or you won’t be able to walk out of it unscathed. I know him well. If he gets tired of you someday, you won’t be able to salvage the relationship no matter how hard you try to. Hell, you won’t even get to see him again.”

Skylar could tell that Kai believed it was only a matter of time before she was given the boot.
