Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 609

Chapter 609 Sharing Experiences Of Annulling Marriages

Skylar wrapped her hair up into a neat bun. Coupled with her minimally made-up face, there was an

indescribably insouciant sense of beauty to her. Even without even eyeshadow, this simple look was able

to accentuate the snowy fairness of her skin.

Tobias unraveled the black elastic band she had on. “I told you before that I like the way you look with

your hair loose.”

Wrapping that elastic band around her wrist, Skylar intended to wait until Tobias left before tying her hair

back up. He has no idea how hot it is having my hair let down.

She wanted to talk to Tobias some more, but he had already shifted his attention elsewhere and turned

away in search of his earpiece.

Skylar briefly looked at the Bluetooth earpiece Tobias was wearing and his sleeves that were rolled up

halfway. Inferring from that, she guessed that he was preparing to drive out and make a work-related call

along the way.

He continued to stay on the line even when she stepped outside the door and made no indication that he

meant to send her to work.

After having his offers to drive her on a couple of occasions turned down, Tobias seemed to have taken it

as a given that she did not need him as her chauffeur.

Though she had been standing in the doorway for some time, Tobias seemed to have overlooked her

existence and no longer spared her any extra time that he might have.

Even if she did not understand the content of the work he was discussing, his assertive display was one

that was unique to those who were used to being in high places.

Although his tone was stern, it never came across as unapproachable.

She did not bid him farewell before she bundled up her own hair and departed.

That sicko Charles did not call last night. Skylar did not know what to do about him but opined that that

man would sooner or later become a problem if he was not taken care of.

Unable to come up with a good solution, she filed a police report. Though he was called in for

questioning, Charles was released less than two hours later.

There was little she could do apart from putting a tail on him. After all, she could not possibly have him

killed on a personal whim!

When Skylar exited the house, she saw that Cinque and Lionel were already waiting outside. These two

statuesque, strapping lads were like her guardian angels, and she felt much safer having them around.

Judging from their physical stature, she assumed that they should not have any problems individually

taking on five opponents at the same time.

Skylar took up the seat to the rear of the front passenger seat as that was the most secure position to be

in, even in the event of an accident.

She was not sure what time Tobias left the house. As a boss, his schedule was more flexible than typical

white-collar workers.

Gavin had waited all night. It was only then that Tobias had time to return his call and arrange for them to

meet at the office.

However, the former looked crestfallen. Though the sky was clear and the sun shone brightly outside, he

pulled out a cigarette and settled himself down in a smog of melancholy.

“Laurel’s back. I told her that if she was willing, we could still continue dating even after I got married. But

it has become apparent now that she wants to cut ties with me completely. Women are a real pain in the

ass.”

Tobias snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray. “Really? Did you come over here this early just to gripe

about that one woman? What advice can I possibly offer you?”

The fingers that Gavin used to prop up the cigarette trembled. “You’ve already gotten yourself a girlfriend

now, Mr. Ford! I just wanted to tap on your experience of getting a marriage annulled.”

Gavin held Tobias’ past heroics in much esteem, as he heard that Claudia had nearly passed out in a fit

before everyone present back then.

He knew well how domineering the old matron was, being one who never took no for an answer. Tobias

also had a reputation for being a filial son who rarely went against his mother’s will. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Word had it that Claudia was full of praise for her then chosen daughter-in-law with everyone she

encountered. Hence, he wondered why nothing eventually came of it.

It was only after Gavin returned to the country that he heard about Tobias’ infidelity through the

grapevine. As for who the third party was, no one seemed to have a clue.

However, Gavin was not surprised either. Tobias had always been an aloof person, quite unlike himself

who was steadfast and tried everything to bridge the distance between Laurel and himself in spite of

everything.

How Gavin wished that he could carry out such a valorous act too! In the past few days, he had been in

regular contact with his future spouse.

At no point did he ever feel comfortable in the company of the woman whom he found to be nothing but

pretentious. If he had to spend the rest of his life with this person he did not fancy, Gavin was afraid that

he might lose his mind.
