Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 128

Zoey's beautiful eyes narrowed ever so slightly. She felt as though her heart was crushed into pieces.

That was the first time in the years she had known Tobias where he introduced a woman as his girlfriend.

He had never even publicly acknowledged his relationship with Tanya and had always remained aloof about it.

When Tanya Hanson bullied her, Tobias did his best to defend her and outrightly sided with her.

The memory of Tanya fuming was still fresh in Zoey's mind.

Laura walked over to serve them drinks. She first poured some for Tobias, then Zoey. When she. reached Skylar, she asked, "Is this alright for you?" Skylar frowned. "Yes, this is fine."

Zoey took a seat on the couch as sorrow began to engulf her. Disappointment was an emotion she was familiar with when it came to Tobias. When she first heard of Tobias's engagement, she was broken-hearted.

She was unable to accept the fact that the man she had pined for all these years was going to marry someone else. Despite the fact that their relationship remained stagnant for years because Tobias only regarded her as a sister, she still hoped for more.

No matter how hard she tried to fight for his love, nothing could alter the reality. All she could do was head to Italy to heal her wounds. When she caught wind that his engagement was called off, she was over the moon and immediately bought tickets to return home.

All these years, she had been unwilling to give up. To her, as long as she put in the effort, sparks were bound to fly between the two of them. She even made a wild guess that the abrupt cancelation of the engagement was because of her.

Alas, she was proven wrong. Tobias had abandoned his fiancée for a new conquest.

"Tobias, I want to stay here for a period of time. I'm not going home! You won't mind, right?" Zoey asked.

Tobias frowned slightly and replied, "Everywhere else is fine. Why are you adamant about staying here?"

Putting on an innocent and piteous look, she stared at Tobias with teary eyes and responded, "I'm used to staying here. I don't want to move. Or are you planning to stay here with your girlfriend?" Skylar then chimed in with a bright smile on her face. "Don't worry. I won't stay here often. But I don't have the right to make the decision."

Zoey studied her carefully from top to toe.

Her delicate features and flawless face accentuated her beauty. Every smile she flashed was enchanting and alluring. Even Zoey was impressed by her exceptional looks. Then she took a peek at Tobias, whose face was still expressionless.

"Do what you want. I'll leave this place to you. Anyway, I'm going to send Skylar somewhere near her school." Fishing out his keys from his pocket, he tossed them to Zoey. As she reached out to receive the keys, she felt dismayed. After shooting Skylar a death stare, she glared at their intertwined hands. Is she doing this on purpose to spite me? Upon leaving International Garden, Skylar promptly let go of Tobias's hand.

He raised his hand and smirked. "How realistic of you. You were holding onto my hand so tightly."

"Hmm... Sister? Thankfully, I've been staying in school. I didn't know I was staying in someone else's house."

Tobias lifted an eyebrow. He disliked having to explain himself, but something about Skylar's manner told him that she was going to get the wrong idea if he did not clarify the matter.
