Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 739

Skylar froze for a second, some unusual emotions brewing in her eyes. Peace suffused her. Back when she was at her most helpless, all she yearned was someone to take her hand and say, “Let's go home.”

At home, Skylar nestled in Tobias' embrace. The two of them cuddled on the couch. She was so lazy to take the chips with her hands that she wanted the man to feed them to her.

Munching on the chips, she watched the four hosts on TV. The actress at the center stage was dressed in a customized high-end gown with red and gold thread embroidery. She had her chest puffed out and her nose in the sky, looking as proud as ever.

When the host, Alyssa, introduced the next program, Youth Dance Music, Skylar became all fired up.

“The Christmas Eve Special production team sought me out and asked me to sing with them, but my schedule is full due to my new movie's promotional events, so I missed the opportunity to perform.”

Tobias lowered the volume of the TV. It's a good thing that she could not perform for Christmas Eve Special, considering her singing. Although it's merely lip-synching, her out-of-tune singing is really something else.

Skylar also knew her capabilities well, aware that she was hopeless at singing and dancing.

Just then, Tobias' phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID. In truth, it had been ringing incessantly since they returned home.

However, he did not answer a single call, loathed to exchange pleasantries and greetings.

Out of the blue, he remembered that he had not given Skylar the monetary gift yet.

He took out the envelope with the monetary gift from his suit pants and placed it in her right hand.

“My mom asked me to give this to you. It's a token from her. Since you've gotten it from her, I won't be giving you one.”

The instant Skylar read the words on the envelope, she was absolutely certain it was deliberate on Claudia's part.

Claudia had had people come over to seek her out, pressuring her to go for a medical examination in fear that she was barren.

Claudia attached too much importance to the matter of a grandchild, yet Skylar could tell that Tobias did not want any children.

She opened the envelope, only to see that there was quite a lot of money in there. Afraid that she would have many children if she were to accept it, she gave it back to the man.
