Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 781

“Alas... I'm worried sick about my daughter. She moved in with her boyfriend before they got married. What's worse? That man doesn't even have a house under his name, so how are they supposed to live together comfortably? Why is she in such a rush to stay with him? What about her reputation? She should live with dignity! Does she want to make a fool of herself now?”

Skylar felt somewhat awkward after hearing Madelyn's words. I'm staying with Tobias even though we are not married. Technically, we are staying together illegally. If that's the case, does that mean I'm shameless too?

She advised Madelyn, “Hey, you better not fret about this. It's a good thing that they are not in debt. They can work hard to get their house soon. Look on the bright side. If her boyfriend is a fine young man that works hard, it's great news!”

Madelyn spoke. “It's not the same. Skylar, this might be hard for you to digest, but if Mr. Ford hadn’t been rich, would you be willing to be with him now? The age gap between you is vast. Of course, you will find a younger man, right? You're smart. You know you should look for a capable man. Mr. Ford treats you so kindly. He always purchases new and expensive bags for you that worth more than one year of my salary. Meanwhile, my daughter's boyfriend has to compare the discounts the delivery company offers when they order food. He can't compare to Mr. Ford!”

It occurred to Skylar that she had never thought about the possibility mentioned by Madelyn before. So, would I still be with Tobias had he been not rich? I can't imagine him not being wealthy, though.

Skylar called Tobias while she was on the way to work. She wanted to find out when he was coming back.

Tobias didn't answer the phone. However, after three continuous calls, Susan picked up.

Susan didn't even have to look at the caller ID to recognize Skylar's voice from the other end of the phone. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be willing to pick up the phone, but she knew she had to treat Skylar differently.

Susan explained, “Mr. Ford is in a meeting, and he left his phone with me. He will end his meeting in about an hour or so.”
