Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 479

Ah, I’m the one who bears the brunt of the torment in this relationship! He isn’t even giving me the right to question him or get jealous! How absurd! Despite it all, a ball of aggrieve lodged within Skylar.

“Are things fine with us now? I don’t like the silent treatment.” Tobias reached out and placed his hand on hers, his palm warm and rough.

However, Skylar said nothing. Well, if I say nothing, he’ll still take it as a tacit acquiescence. He said he doesn’t like the silent treatment, but doesn’t he know that he’s best at doing that to me?

“I’ll be very busy in the upcoming days, so I won’t be able to make much time for you. But before that, I’ve resolved your problem.” Tobias warned her in advance that she wouldn’t be seeing much of him.

“What are you busy with when you’ve retired from Ford Group temporarily?”

Speaking of that, Tobias’ gaze gradually darkened. “I’ve given Sheldon a chance, but he’s not utilizing it. Ford Group is now in chaos, and no one pays him the slightest mind. He can’t even keep them in line with the power he wields. How useless…”

Skylar, on the other hand, pitied Sheldon. Well, he’s not inherently bad, but Tobias has been too strict with him. With all the pressure, it’s only natural that he has a volatile temper. Anyway, it’s truly a shame that he doesn’t have the capability to lead the company. To tell the truth, their love-hate relationship boggles my mind.

When they exited the café, a young man ran smack into Skylar, almost causing her to fall down.

Fortunately, Tobias steadied her with a hand around her waist.

Having gained her balance, Skylar then looked at the young man, only to see an intoxicated Hayden staggering to his feet.

She stared at her half-brother with a frown.

The words he spat at her back when she asked Tobias for money to pay her school fees echoed as though having been burned in her mind.

“You’re filthy, so don’t even step a single foot into our house! Avery doesn’t like you either, you mooch!” he snarled in contempt and derision.
