Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671 The Lucky Lady
Colleen tapped Skylar on the shoulder at the sight of Tobias' approach. “I'll see you inside. Think about what I've told you. I know your father won't admit it, but he misses you. He told me that you are actually his favorite. Remember, Skylar. Know who your true family is.”

Skylar did not believe a word of it. I'm sure being a principal in a high school requires lying your a*s off all the time too.

As they passed, Tobias nodded pleasantly at Colleen as she was his elder.

Colleen reciprocated the greeting as she took in everything from his features to his watch.

She did not understand how a man like that would choose to be with Skylar. His decision seemed to challenge her antiquated views of social compatibility being the determining factor in the success of a marriage.

“The banquet's starting soon. I'm going in to supervise,” she declared jovially as if the scene earlier had never happened. “Come in from the cold soon, both of you. We have several new chefs under our employ and would like your feedback on their skills.”

“We have some last-minute matters to attend to,” Tobias said apologetically. “Maybe another time.”

Despite Colleen's persuasion, Tobias did not budge.

Tobias is an important man with important obligations. Who am I to insist that he reschedule them?

As soon as Colleen disappeared back into the venue, Skylar heaved a long sigh of relief as she gazed up at Tobias.

“Why didn't you at least greet me earlier?” she demanded. “Do I embarrass you so?”

Tobias smoothed her hair which had been disheveled by the wind. “I only dropped by to discuss matters with your father. Maybe I was so focused on my goal that I did not notice your presence.”

Skylar almost rolled her eyes at that. Yeah, right. I'm wearing a black dress, not a cloak of invisibility.
