Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 800

Penelope once said, “You can never hide your love for someone in your gaze. The rest of the world will fade away when you're there, and they'll only have eyes for you.”

Skylar was shaken. She unexpectedly felt discomfited when Tobias glanced at her in such a way.

“Did you switch out the hairdryer?”

Tobias chuckled. “I don't understand why you insist on using your old one. Aren't you scared of electrical faults? I got you a new one since I noticed it has been on your wishlist for some time now.”

Skylar recalled seeing piles of parcels in the foyer, some already unsealed upon arriving home.

She'd been perplexed as she had no memory of purchasing all that.

“Did you buy everything on my wish list?”

“I came upon it by chance when you left your phone on the bed before going on my business trip. I took it as you giving me a subtle hint. After all, isn't it perfectly normal to do such things for a girlfriend? You should add more expensive items to your list, by the way. I still can't believe you'd wear shorts that cost nineteen ninety out.”

Skylar wished for nothing more than to bury herself underground at her miserly habits being exposed.

Perhaps she wouldn't have turned out like this if she hadn't mistrusted an unreliable investment manager and didn't have a spendthrift mother.

She plopped down next to Tobias and rested her head on his shoulder. She always detected the fragrance of white sandalwood whenever he was close. It would have been perfect if it weren't mixed with the scent of cigarette smoke.

What she said next turned his mood sour. “I'll pay you back once I have enough money. Don't feel upset because this is just who I am. I don't feel comfortable spending the money of others. That includes the one million that my mum owes you!”

Tobias wrapped his arm around her shoulders. This ungrateful one still refuses to rely on me despite knowing how unbearable I find it.

He disliked how independent Skylar was. Yet they were two sides of the same coin, to a certain extent.

“I'm not just anybody, you know? There's no need to have such strict boundaries in place. Imagine how exhausting it'll be for both of us. Don't tell me you did this in your past relationships as well. That would be a no-go for sure.”
