Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 468

When they reached home, Skylar flung herself on the bed straight away and drifted into sleep without getting changed.

Tobias' instinct told him that someone had entered their room and touched his clothes in the closet. He could remember vividly that there was a shirt next to his jacket when he took it out before stepping out for the hospital, yet it was gone.

When Skylar was sleeping soundly, he went down to pour himself a glass of water. To his surprise, Lina was still seated in the living room.

Lina asked him coyly, "Why are you still awake at this hour?"

"Did you enter our room just now?" Tobias asked her back instead.

Lina's heart skipped a beat before she explained hastily, "Ah! I saw that the door of your bedroom was not closed, so I just helped to close it. I'm sorry for that. I didn't mean to interfere in your privacy."

Tobias pursed his lips and asked her directly, "How long do you plan to stay here? To be frank, it's quite inconvenient for us when you are around."

It was out of Lina's expectation that Tobias would be so straightforward. She suspected that Skylar was the one instigating Tobias to do so as she felt awkward bringing up the topic herself.

She took a deep breath to restrain her displeasure and answered courteously, "I will move out at once when my new job stabilizes, and I can afford to pay rent for a room. Do you feel that I'm interrupting you?" "Since you could sense that you are interrupting us, I hope you can move out soon. I don't mind paying for your rental at the new place," Tobias added coldly.

Lina was stunned and looked at him pitifully. Things had not turned out the way she had expected.

She put on a pitiful look and mumbled, "Are you feeling bad for me? I don't need your sympathy and I don't wish to rely on anyone. I want to depend on myself to get the matters resolved." "You're relying a lot on Skylar at the moment, aren't you? If you're really as tenacious as what you think, you can move out tomorrow."

Lina clenched her fists at his words. She had just decorated her room a while ago in order to give Tobias a good impression that she was an innocent woman, she even pasted a big sticker of an adorable bear on the door of her room. What? Does he intend to chase me out now? No way! I haven't even started with anything! How can I be kicked out right away even before competing with Skylar?

She became agitated and raised her voice. "Mr. Ford, why do you seem to be repulsed by me? I don't have any bad intentions. I'm just thinking of keeping Skylar company. She has actually sent me WhatsApp messages, telling me that she feels lonely and there is nobody she can talk to. If you really dislike me a lot, I will move out tomorrow."

Lina's eyes were red-rimmed as tears started to trickle down her cheeks, yet she did not wipe them at all.

Tobias was unmoved by her tears; there was not even a slight change in his expression. He reminded her indifferently, "I hope that you can move out before Skylar wakes up tomorrow morning." Lina could not believe that Tobias was not the least bit touched by her tears. She stood up and darted toward him abruptly.

Wrapping her arms around his waist, she pleaded, "I don't want to leave. If I move out, I won't have the chance to see you anymore. Do you know how much effort I have put in to catch up with your pace? I'm trying my best to enhance myself so I would be worthy enough for you. That's why I resigned and have a new job. You're the only purpose for me to work hard in my life!"

There was an utter abhorrence in Tobias' cold eyes. He was numb with countless women who went after him all this while.

He answered in a very cold tone, "Let go of me and stop setting me as your target. No matter how much effort you put, you will never be able to achieve it this lifetime!"

Lina tightened the grip around his waist as she wailed, "I won't let go of you. Can you understand how much pain I've been enduring all this while? I shouldn't have fallen for you. I can't help imagining how wonderful my life will be if you can be by my side. My life is meaningless without you! Please give me a chance to be with you. I promise that I would keep mum about our relationship, so Skylar won't replace out." Tobias gripped her arms and sneered, "Since your life is meaningless, just end it at any moment."

Lina felt the pain and loosened her arms.

She looked at him hopelessly and pleaded, "Please let me spend the night with you, even if it is just for one night!"

Tobias snickered at her ridiculous pleading. He was never short of women, and would not be easily aroused by them even if they stood naked before him.

"I've changed my mind. I take back my words now as I can't let you stay till tomorrow. I'll let my driver send you out now. Just go wherever you like. Don't ever think of staying here again." His tone was icy-cold. In an instant, Lina shrieked hysterically and kept calling out Tobias' name.
