Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 403

Skylar raised her eyes to meet his, and she found herself entranced by his gentle gaze.

The camera captured this scene beautifully, and Skylar's side profile was so alluring she looked like an enchantress.

As Saoirse, Skylar lamented, "Master, I don't want to leave the mountain. Can I stay by your side and serve you forever as your disciple?"

Largo as Titus replied, "Go and fulfill your purpose. You said you wanted to avenge your mother and replace your father... Can you really live in peace on this mountain for the rest of your life? All good things must come to an end. I can't possibly be with you forever."

Skylar was slightly dazed upon hearing this line because Tobias had also said something similar before.

Following her momentary hesitation was Josiah's loud voice shouting cut.

Skylar shot Largo an apologetic smile, feeling bad that he had to retake this scene because of her.

Largo's smile was as gentle as the spring breeze. "It's okay. You did really well. In fact, you're the most versatile actress I've worked with so far."

The makeup artist scurried over to touch up Skylar's makeup right then. Tilting her head to the sky, Skylar looked at the moon and marveled, "The moon is so beautiful tonight." Largo broke into another smile. "Yeah. It's also romantic."

Skylar asked Hannah to bring over her phone, planning to send a voice message to a certain someone. Right then, she had no idea where he was or what he was doing.

"Look up. The moon is really beautiful tonight."

Soon came Tobias' deep voice. "I guess so. I'm in a meeting. I'll talk to you later."

Skylar lost the desire to continue the conversation after that. She did not even know what she was expecting.

Tobias picked up the cup of coffee on his desk and looked out the magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows even as his mind processed strings complicated digits. He couldn't remember how many years it had beer since he had the time to gaze at the sky.

Thinking of this, he sent Skylar a WhatsApp message.

Tobias: It really is beautiful. I miss you.

After slaving away on the set for a few days, it was finally time for a short break. Wanting to give Tobias a surprise, Skylar did not inform him about this.

The first thing she did was check up on Penelope at her rented house, luggage and all.

Skylar never stopped worrying about her. Recently, Penelope had been updating her social media caption very frequently.

In fact, she had probably used up all the typical emo quotes. One of them went something along the lines of "love feels like a freight train running right over your heart".

When Penelope, who was wearing a maternity dress, opened the door and saw Skylar, a smile finally appeared on her face that was lined with exhaustion.

"What took you so long? I missed you to death!"

Skylar took out the supplements she bought for Penelope, placing them on the coffee table before explaining, "I only just got some time off from filming. I literally came directly from the set. It's a good thing we have the whole week off. Do you still have enough money?"

Feeling emotional, Penelope's eyes stung and she sniffled slightly, blinking back her tears. Skylar is still the one who cares most about me.

After a while, she rasped out, "Yes, I still have enough. I've paid the hospital fees with the money you gave me. Can you do me a favor, Skylar? I can't get in touch with Brayden now. Can you ask Tobias to tell him to answer my calls?"

Skylar frowned at the thought of all the trouble Penelope had to go through just to get ahold of her child's father. In a voice laden with disappointment, she said, "Why bother? But it's too late to say anything now." Heaving a sigh, she continued, "Can't you see, Penelope? Brayden doesn't want to be responsible for you at all. You might as well put a stop to it while you still can and raise the child alone."

Penelope held her belly while cautiously shuffling further into the house. Then, she gingerly lowered herself onto the couch before countering with a displeased pout, "Why should I put a stop to it? The child isn't born yet. That's why he doesn't feel anything yet, but it'll be a different story once the child is born. Brayden is probably really busy with work. That's why he doesn't have time for me."
