Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 141

She began to wallow in self-pity upon picturing herself living with him. Truth be told, she had amazing

cooking skills. Everything she cooked would burst with flavors.

Back then, Jeremy used to say that she was most suited to be a housewife and that her cooking was

even better than his mother’s.

At the Jones residence, Skylar hadn’t even touched the cutlery. Starving since morning, her stomach was

growling loudly, and she barely had the strength to speak. She was also feeling sluggish from the lack of

carbs.

“Are you hungry? I’m cooking some noodles, so I’ll cook a bowl for you too,” she said to Tobias.

Tobias lowered his gaze and smirked. “I don’t eat junk food like instant noodles.”

Skylar replied coldly, “What a picky eater. When I was young, I didn’t even get the chance to eat instant

noodles. Grandma was frugal and would often cook plain noodles. On Children’s Day, she’d buy me

some braised beef instant noodles. At that time, I’d thought this was the best food in the world. Even my

dream then was to eat instant noodles every day when I grow up.”

Tobias folded his arms and raised his brows at her. “Are you telling me this to get my sympathy?”

Skylar was rendered speechless. That never even crossed my mind. I just said it on a whim. He is such a

conversation killer.

Arching her lips into a smile, she played along with Tobias. “You’re right, Mr. Ford. After listening to such

a tragic story, don’t you think I’m really pitiful? That I have a sad life? I’ve suffered too much, but at least

you’re here now to alleviate some of my pain.”

Tobias gently pinched Skylar’s cheeks that were flushed with embarrassment. “Not at all. No one knows

what’s in store for them upon coming into this world. Everyone out there has their own troubles, so why

should they try and relate to yours? The key is in your hands. I’m only giving you the support. Everything

else is up to you.”

Enlightened by Tobias’ words, Skylar raised her eyes to study this wise man.

She couldn’t deny that putting aside his wild taste in bed, he could indeed be considered a life mentor.

She pursed her lips and murmured, “I won’t talk about these things anymore. You’re right. There are

people who have it much worse compared to me.”

“Smart girl. You can still talk to me about it but forget about telling other people. Keep your past hidden

from prying eyes. Not many people can empathize, so it’s better to maintain an air of secrecy.”

Skylar nodded in understanding. No one besides Tobias had ever given her such sincere and earnest

advice.

She took out some chilies and onions from the refrigerator, then found some chicken in the freezer.

“Do you eat Chicken Maryland?” she asked.

Tobias shook his head. “Too oily.”

“What about grilled chicken?” Skylar asked.

“How is that different from Chicken Maryland?”

Exasperated, Skylar let out a sigh. The man was really hard to please, so she eventually decided to cook

instant noodles. He can take it or leave it.

She cooked a big pot of noodles and transferred them into a glass casserole, filling every corner of the

villa with its aroma.

This time, she prepared two sets of cutlery but didn’t call Tobias over to eat.

As Tobias watched Skylar slurping on the noodles while looking at her phone, he noticed the sheen of

sweat on her forehead.

He picked up his cutlery, then pulled out the chair beside her and gracefully lowered himself into it.

Skylar pushed the casserole toward him. “It’s good. You should try some. I put bacon, crab sticks, and

fish balls in it.”

Tobias forked up some of the noodles and ate them slowly.

Skylar gradually fell into a trance as she watched him, amazed at how he could look so elegant even

when eating instant noodles.

On the other hand, she ate food as though it was her first meal in a hundred years.

“Is it good?” Skylar looked at him expectantly. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
