Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 617

Chapter 617 Three For One

After he ended the call, Tobias turned around and saw that Skylar had not touched her food. “Are you on

a diet again? It is bad to skip breakfast. Your health will be affected!” He frowned slightly as he gently

chided her.

Skylar forced herself to pick up the fork, but the sight of the greasy French toast made her give up the

feeble attempt.

“I’ll pass on this. I really do not have an appetite for this early in the morning. And by the way, in the

future, please let me know if you are coming back late, so I won’t have to wait up for you,” she said.

Tobias made a low grunt half-heartedly in acknowledgment. He was used to living independently and

was having difficulty reporting to her his movement and plans.

Skylar’s simple request was a reminder to him that they were a couple and no longer two independent

individuals.

She was already standing in front of the door, getting ready to head out. Tobias found his car keys and

asked, “Should I give you a ride? Or do you prefer to go with the chauffeur?”

She chose to be driven by the chauffeur, keen to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention to both Tobias

and herself.

As she turned to leave, she felt a grip on her hands. He was standing so close to her that upon looking

up, all she could see were his white shirt and his sensuous Adam’s apple. She felt his warm breath on

her face as he bent down to give her a passionate French kiss.

Skylar was immediately lost in that intense kiss and responded with equal passion. The two of them

totally forgot about Madelyn’s presence.

Madelyn herself had been through that youthful passionate age and was secretly envious of their exciting

sex life whenever she saw the evidence in their trash can. That reminded her of her own youthful days.

After Skylar got into the car, she checked her phone and saw many missed calls from Miranda. She had

to take a deep breath to calm herself down before talking to Miranda.

“We are going to be rich, Skylar! We are going to be rich!” Miranda was shouting in excitement on the

other end of the phone. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Skylar rubbed between her brows to destress as she answered, “Did you strike the lottery?”

“Oh, Tobias had not spoken to you about it? Our old house will be acquired for redevelopment soon, as

the area is rezoned as a commercial area. Ford Group bought the land, and they are offering three units

of replacement housing for every unit sold to them!”

Skylar’s slender fingers clenched tightly around her phone in distress when she heard that. She was

taken by surprise as Tobias had not told her about the acquisition.

“That house is the only memory I have of Grandma. How can you be so excited, knowing it will be torn

down?” she cried out, aggrieved.

“Are you out of your mind? Your grandma had passed on and will not know about the demolition. Why

are you harping on that? I am sure she will be happy to know that if she is still with us. Anyway, I have a

share in that house, so I am entitled to at least one of the replacement units!” Miranda chided her.

Skylar clearly remembered there were rumors of redevelopment when her grandma was still alive.

Meredith flared and reacted strongly against that. She angrily hit her walking stick on the ground and

dismissed the idea. “Over my dead body! Don’t they dare set eyes on my house!”

Skylar became frustrated and was in distress after the conversation with Miranda.

When she arrived at the filming location, Laurel started briefing her on the scenes scheduled for the day.

She was a fast learner and more efficient compared to Hannah.

Skylar absent-mindedly played with her hair while Laurel was doing the briefing. Her mind was

preoccupied with the thought of her grandma’s house being demolished.

Suddenly, she blurted out a strange question to Laurel. “Do you have an old manor in your family?” she

asked.

Laurel was briefly taken aback by the unexpected question. Despite being puzzled by the seemingly

random question, she composed herself quickly and duly replied Skylar. “I come from a poor family, so

my family has always been staying in the same old house. We cannot afford one of those new houses. I

have lived in that old house in Springwyn since I was born. I don’t see anything wrong with old houses. If

we have to move from our house someday, I am sure I will miss it.”

I will miss it.That was exactly how Skylar felt about her grandma’s house.

“Is your house being acquired for redevelopment? Congrats! That means you will get a big sum of

money!” Laurel happily congratulated Skylar on that.

Skylar shook her head, and she was not lying when she said she was in a financially tight situation. Her

finances were in a mess as she did not have a financial adviser to help her with her investments. Her

money was invested in mutual funds and property, and she did not have much cash.

Even if her grandma’s house was torn down for redevelopment, she would not get a single cent in cash.

She knew it was a selfish wish, but she would rather keep the old house than make her other family

members happy.
