Fell Into His Love Trap novel Chapter 732

Tobias did not know whose necklace it was. Only when Skylar mentioned that it was Marcus who had tasked her with passing it along did he manage to guess who the owner was.

That girl again. She has been on Marcus' mind for all these years, and he never let her go.

That answer made Skylar laugh. He's speaking in riddles with me. Whether or not he answered the question made no difference.

Pulling a face, Skylar said, “You're not going to tell me, huh? I don't think you would even if you knew. How melodramatic it is for two brothers to fight over a woman.”

Tobias gave her a sharp flick on her forehead. “What are you thinking? Why would I do something like that? Marcus and I have different tastes. I may not fancy who he likes.”

Skylar yelped in pain and clutched her forehead with both hands in an exaggerated fashion. It's difficult to get Tobias to talk about the past.

It began raining outside. A fine spray of rain splashed in from the half-closed window, and the chilly wind made Skylar shiver.

When he saw Skylar hugging herself and trembling, Tobias closed the window. Then, she heard a sigh coming from above her head. “Look at how skinny you are! There isn't a bit of fat on you. How can you not feel cold? Don't take your health for granted while you're still young, or you'll regret it when you grow older.”

That was not the answer Skylar was hoping for. She was more interested to know who the owner of the necklace was.

As he admonished her for her health, it never occurred to him that he, too, usually stayed up late to work.

It was the second Christmas she was spending with him. The racket first thing in the morning added a lively touch to the festivities.

Having applied for leave, Madelyn had returned home for the holidays. The house was quiet and lonely.

Skylar searched the cabinet for the sweets she had bought at the mall, grabbed a dish to empty them in, and placed them on the coffee table. She wondered if she was qualified to be a hostess, as she had not appeared in public very much.
