Fell Into His Love Trap novel Chapter 58

“I guess I kicked their asses back there. Then again, it’s not like they were that hard to deal with,” Skylar said.

Tobias beheld the girl’s pint-size frame intently and listened to her bravado without comment.

“Who’s been picking on you? You could just tell me.”

Be it a few simple words, they meant the world to her.

Because no one else said anything like that to her. Ever.

All the other kids heckled her and called her mother a murderer when she was little.

 

Her grandmother taught her that poor children could not afford to pick fights with anyone. Endure it. Take the high road. That was what she would always say.

And whenever she needed someone to have her back when she got older, Jeremy was nowhere to be found.

 

Skylar shook her head. “I can take care of this myself!”

She reminded herself that she should not harbor such expectations from someone like Tobias.

And so, she left it at that.

Neither was he going to make her, as he had his own ways of finding out.

Her belly then proposed to change the subject. She held a hand to it when it started growling too loudly.

Tobias picked up the phone and called for room service. He ended the call with a specific request. “We’ll have something healthier.”

Half the contents of the bottled water were emptied to help stave off her hunger pangs.

“I don’t like healthy,” she said.

Her palate leaned towards savory. Even Laura’s home cooking was deemed a tad too light.

In fact, hot sauce was an indispensable staple for her in almost everything.
