Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 708

Chapter 708 Provide For You For The Rest Of Your Life

It was clear that Tobias had little understanding of women's emotions. Often, women preferred to hear

flattering lies compared to the truth as they wished to be praised as if they were ethereal beauties.

Skylar replied, “Nope. I'm on a diet. I want my eyes and brows to look prettier.”

Tobias could sense her jealousy, but he did not understand why she reacted in such a manner. I was just giving my honest opinion.

After instructing Skylar to wait by the door, Tobias retrieved a carton of milk from the refrigerator. He

placed it in the microwave and heated it for approximately thirty seconds before handing it to her. “You

need to replenish some protein. I'll drive you today. Where would you like to go?”

Skylar accepted the offer without any reservations.

With the cold air sweeping in the previous night, the outside temperature abruptly dropped to zero

degrees. As they made their way to the car, Skylar instinctively hunched her shoulders, shivering from

the piercing cold.

Tobias had not anticipated such extreme cold, especially with the biting morning wind that seemed to

penetrate one's bones. I should have warmed up the car first before asking Skylar to come out.

Regardless of how luxurious the car was, without the warm air circulating inside, it felt as frigid as an

ice cellar. As Skylar entered the car, her body shivered uncontrollably.

Despite not being known for being talkative, Tobias could not resist remarking, “You always dress so

lightly. When you're older, you'll regret it when illnesses come knocking. You may not realize it now in

your youth, but you'll regret it later.”

Skylar could not help but be reminded of her grandmother by his remark, and it made her ponder if that

was how elderly people tended to nag all the time.

Due to her slender physique, Skylar lacked the insulation of body fat that could help keep her warm in

the cold weather.

Tobias removed his coat and draped it over Skylar's lap, leaving himself with only a shirt on.

Skylar picked the coat up and returned it to him. “Won't you feel even colder if you don't have this? If Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

you get sick, there won't be anyone to look after you.”

She impulsively covered her mouth, realizing the potential impact of her words on the person before

her.

Tobias was not oblivious. He heard every word clearly.

It seemed he was unperturbed by what she said. “It doesn't matter if no one takes care of me. I've

grown accustomed to it over the years. I've faced illness numerous times, and I've always managed on

my own.”

Skylar quickly tried to rectify the situation, offering reassurance, “I was just making a casual remark. I

would never do that. Oh, I once came across a news story about a man and a woman who had been

dating for about six months. The man suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, rendering him unable

to eat, drink, move, or speak—an unconscious state. Throughout it all, the woman cared for him

diligently. It's a truly touching tale of love.”

Tobias adjusted the car's heater to its maximum setting and, after changing gears, held the steering

wheel with one hand while tightly gripping Skylar's hand with the other. “If you were in her position,

what would you do?”

Having read the news and pondered similar scenarios before, Skylar responded without hesitation, “I

would undoubtedly stay and care for him. I can't just abandon him since I care about him.”

However, Tobias' demeanor remained indifferent. “Even regular couples can grow weary of each other

after a lifetime of marriage and raising children, let alone dealing with someone like him. No one will be

touched by your action, except for yourself. You'll simply be wasting your entire life on such a man.”

Skylar inserted a straw into the warm milk, and while biting down on it, she said, “Your thoughts terrify

me. I guess I'll have to prioritize taking good care of myself and avoiding unfortunate circumstances,

just in case you leave me during a difficult time.”

Tobias elaborated on his reasoning. “We mustn't be overly naïve if we want to survive in this world. I'm

referring to human nature in general, so there is no need for you to fret. Perhaps, my sole redeeming

quality is my financial stability, so don't worry, I won't abandon you. Even if you were to lose

consciousness, I would remain by your side, caring for you throughout your lifetime.”
