Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) -
Chapter 456
Skylar turned toward the source of the voice and saw a kind-looking old man. Despite his gray hair, he still looked strong and healthy. Under a closer look, his features resembled Kai's. "This is my girlfriend, Skylar Jones," Tobias said as he held her hand, "Skylar, meet my uncle, Zachary Stokes."
Ah, so he's really Kai's father.
Zachary came forward and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you. You look familiar. I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before."
"Of course, you've seen her before. She's an actress."
Zachary's face froze as Kai interjected. It was obvious that he did not have a good impression of showbiz.
He had tried countless times to persuade Kai to quit the entertainment industry and come home to take over the family business, but Kai had a mind of his own.
He disliked businessmen like Zachary and Tobias. All they could think of was money and their own benefits.
Tobias introduced Skylar to everyone present and the family members were pleased to meet her.
All eyes were on her because of her dashing appearance. Winnie was no match for her.
Even Claudia had accepted her as Tobias' girlfriend.
As a mother, she did not want to ruin her relationship with her son, especially when things were not looking good at home.
Tobias had been particularly tolerant of Sheldon, and Claudia knew Tobias must have felt frustrated.
Winnie nudged Sheldon and pouted her lips. "Look at your family. All they care about is your brother and Skylar. You'll never be the center of attention with him around."
Sheldon swallowed hard and grunted. "They are just a bunch of looksists. Why not you go do something to your face and help me out a little? Everyone is complimenting how beautiful Skylar is, so she naturally gets all the attention."
Little did he know, Winnie had put in a lot of effort just to look good for the family gathering. She hired a makeup artist to do her makeup for her and even had her outfit tailor-made half a month ago. She treated this gathering a lot more important than any other events she attended, but she only ended up making a joke out of herself.
She looked like a sore thumb sticking out.
Tobias was dressed casually, and so was Skylar.
Her jeans and coat made a simple style. She had her hair combed neatly and tied up in a ponytail. Her casual style was exactly everyone's cup of tea.
On the contrary, Winnie looked like she was trying too hard to impress.
Although there was not much to talk about, Skylar greeted each and everyone in the family courteously.
Just as Skylar was done greeting them, Claudia came over. "Skylar, are you good at cooking? Some of the servants are on leave today, so we need some help in the kitchen. Do you mind helping out a little?" This was the first time Claudia requested Skylar's help.
Skylar shook her head in embarrassment. "I'm really bad at cooking, Mrs. Ford, but I don't mind trying. I can use some help from Winnie though. I really enjoyed the food she made last time."
"Right. Claudia, why don't you help out as well? There's still some time before we finish our card game, so you two can take your time."
Tobias came over and held Skylar by her waist in front of everyone. "Do you want to join us for a game? I don't mind not eating though."
