Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 70

Sheldon reminded him, “I would advise you to hold your horses. It’s not the time to cancel your

engagement as Mom is still too weak. Is it because some lady is desperately giving you pressure?”

Leaning into his chair, Tobias ignored his question. He then remarked with his eyes closed, “I knew it. It’s

a waste of time to get you to do anything. Keep a close eye on Tanya. She seems to be up to no good as

she caused many outrageous incidents recently.”

Sheldon was jolted by how brutally honest his brother was.

Meanwhile, Skylar returned to school with her luggage in tow. When she checked the calls she blocked,

there were three from Tobias. He adhered to his rule of not calling more than three times if the recipient

failed to pick up.

If he blocked her, it would simply be redundant.

After completing the administrative procedures for her accommodation, Skylar looked forward to her new

dormmates. The moment she opened the dormitory door, she was dumbfounded when she saw Avery.

Avery too was caught by surprise. Rolling her eyes at Skylar, her gaze was filled with disdain.

She reminded everyone with a smirk, “Going forward, all of you should lock up your valuables. I can’t

believe the management decided to squeeze one more in here without seeking our opinions.”

Ignoring her, Skylar put down her luggage. As her phone lit up, she brought it out to check. When she

saw that it was Tobias, she was so nervous that her hands perspired slightly.

Tobias: I’ll come visit you tomorrow. See ya.

Under the dim moonlight, Skylar looked out the window. She was so nervous that her heart pounded

furiously. It was as if Tobias had put a GPS tracker on her and haunted her like a lingering spirit.

It seemed he was enjoying himself and not tired of playing this game.

Wendy asked, “Avery, do you want to have something together at the cafeteria?”

Avery yawned. “I don’t feel like it. Why don’t you help me get something instead? Besides, you’re being

mean for not inviting Skylar along.”

Avery squinted her eyes and stole a knowing glance at Skylar.

Meanwhile, Skylar had packed her things and headed towards the cafeteria alone.

After Skylar left, another dormmate, Yasmin, asked, “Avery, do you hate Skylar? Why are you asking us

to avoid her and forbidding us from talking to her?”

Avery replied with a gentle smile, “She is an old classmate of mine and we go way back. Her reputation

is in tatters so decent girls like us better stay away from her.”

Yasmin pursed her lips. However, she didn’t dare protest.

She felt Skylar was someone decent because she was mostly quiet and considerate of others. She

constantly tried not to be a bother.

Coincidentally, it was mealtime and the cafeteria was packed.

To save money, Skylar ordered some soup with bread.

“Soup with bread? It seems your days have been miserable since you left me.”

Skylar looked up and saw Tobias sitting opposite her. A week had passed since they last saw each other.

He seemed to have lost weight. Plus, the stubble on his face simply reinforced his haggard look.

And yet, he appeared in the cafeteria in all his glory.

Skylar scanned her wary eyes around. “Why did you come here for? This is a school.”

Tobias pushed a plate of steak over to her. “How long do you want to avoid me? Not only did you change

your phone number, but you also even moved away.”

“We are over. Just let me go. I don’t want to do something against my conscience.”

Skylar’s words smack of helplessness. She decided to pull herself away from the brink and not allow

herself to indulge further.

She was worried that she would fall for Tobias if they continued their so-called relationship.
