Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 411

"It's just a dinner with my mother at my house. As for the theme, it's not a formal dinner. It's just a casual family dinner."

Upon hearing that, Skylar spat out the water she had swallowed in. She almost coughed her lungs out.

She tilted her head to the side and spat out a mouthful of water on Tobias' pants, and it was an awkward spot.

Immediately, Skylar took out a tissue from her bag and wiped it hurriedly.

Tobias grabbed her wrist and stopped her movements. "Stop wiping. You might get yourself into trouble. Did you do that on purpose?"

Skylar thought Tobias was definitely out of his mind. Is he wired wrong or something? What's gotten into him?

She was afraid that Claudia would drug her through the food send her to hell.

Skylar repeatedly asked him for confirmation.

"Do I have to go? Do I really have to go? I wouldn't get kicked out, would I? Should I prepare some gifts?"

Tobias was clearly annoyed by her questions. Hence, he stopped her mouth with his lips. He gently bit her tongue and shut her mouth quickly.

Tobias was actually taking his chances this time. Skylar was the one who pulled the trigger for it as she had been saying things about a sense of security all the time.

How to make her feel more secure? Meeting the parents? Acknowledging her existence? Tobias didn't know what exactly Skylar wanted either.

He remembered it wasn't his first time telling Skylar that the sense of security was self-growth, not given by others. One must be stronger and increase self-confidence in order to feel secure.

However, Skylar didn't understand the meaning. Of course Tobias wouldn't make things difficult for her. Perhaps, her family of origin had a huge impact on her. She had been yearning for love and warmth. Few days ago, Sheldon introduced Winnie to Claudia.

Surprisingly, she behaved uncharacteristically. She didn't care much about Winnie's background nor her job. Instead, she liked Winnie a lot.

In her opinion, Winnie was such a thoughtful and understanding girl despite being young. She was the one who earned a living for her family. A child from a poor family often matured at an early age. She felt sorry to see Winnie working so hard at this age.

Winnie reminded Claudia a lot of her younger self. As she spoke, Winnie even felt emotional and wiped away her tears. It touched Claudia's heart even more to see her that way.

Besides, she reminded Sheldon to get along well with his girlfriend and not to let her down.

Tobias was hoping that Claudia would think it through and accept Skylar, or at the very least, not behaving strongly against her.

Skylar appeared at the wrong time. Claudia was suffering from emotional trauma due to Tanya's incident.

She was determined that Skylar was the homewrecker who destroyed Tobias' marriage. Claudia hated those who ruined others' relationships to her core.

Tobias was afraid that their unexpected visit was too hard for Claudia to accept. Therefore, he had already given her a shot in the arm by informing her in advance that he was going to bring Skylar over for dinner.

Tobias' intention was clear. He wanted to stop Claudia from putting Skylar in a difficult position anymore.

Claudia didn't say anything.

Skylar's clothes were scattered all around the floor in her closet. Meanwhile, she took out the eighth dress and checked herself in front of the mirror.

Her skin looked as fair as snow in that black dress. The hemline was below her knees, simple yet elegant without any excessive design, looking flattering on her figure. She matched an emerald necklace with the dress, which brought out the maturity in her.

Skylar looked at herself in the mirror; she looked like a rich lady.

All of a sudden, she thought of Claudia's sarcastic comments about her, saying that she spent all his son's money on luxury items.

Without a second thought, she took off the emerald necklace and replaced it with a cheap pearl necklace. Nonetheless, the pearl was perfectly round and beautiful.

Skylar took a deep breath in front of the entrance, holding a cake that she made before coming over.

The moment was way more intense than filming the highlight of a movie.
