Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 53

Claudia tried to ease the awkward situation. “Tobias has way too much to handle at work. Don’t mind

him.”

Tobias didn’t even spare Nathan any proper eye contact.

Yet, no matter how grim he felt about this, Nathan still had to put on an act and beam at Claudia. “Don’t

worry about us. We’ll be back for a while anyway. Let’s not disrupt Tobias’ plans.”

Hiding her emotions well, Tanya chimed in gently, “He’s always like that when he gets busy. Anyway, I

believe you’re all hungry now. Let’s eat.”

Truthfully, Tanya couldn’t enjoy her meal at all. She was instead consumed by thoughts about Tobias

meeting that other woman.

I wonder what he’d think if he sees what I uploaded earlier today.

It’s no fun screwing that woman over with just one move. I’m going to take my time tormenting her.

Nathan and Gillian called Tanya over to the guest room they were staying in at short notice.

Finally, the man could unleash all his wrath. “What’s going on, Tanya? It doesn’t matter how Tobias treats

us, but why is he so cold toward you as well? He doesn’t give a damn about our family!”

Tanya folded her arms and gazed at Nathan, her eyes filled with mockery. “Why should they ever give a

damn about us? Our family business means nothing to them. Do you think you’d ever get to become part

of their family if I hadn’t saved Claudia?”

Nathan’s heart turned cold. “Are you saying I’m not capable enough as your father and that I’m dragging

you down?”

Tanya smirked. “Is that not how it is? I’d never get a chance to marry into the Fords if I had only

depended on you.”

With his own daughter trampling all over his ego, Nathan was instantly filled with rage. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

On the other hand, Gillian was on Tanya’s side.

She proceeded to chastise Nathan’s incompetence too.

Despite being a real estate magnate, Nathan was well aware of how insignificant he was compared to

Ford Group.

Still, he couldn’t help but feel extremely resentful toward this mother-daughter duo.

Gillian turned to her daughter, feeling heartbroken. “How will you ever find happiness if Tobias keeps

treating you this way, Tanya?”

Tanya merely scoffed at the mention of happiness. “Tobias is a man who has no feelings whatsoever. All

I wanted was to be his lawful wife. I’m sure I can get a rock like him to open up to me as time passes.”

“There’s nothing we can do to help you. Take care of yourself,” Nathan muttered in annoyance.

Tanya laughed gloatingly. “It’s not like you’ve ever had a hand in giving me what I have today anyway. Do

your best to flatter the Fords now that you’re here. Spend lots of time with Claudia and tell her nothing

but good things about me. If she ever asks, tell her I’ve never had a boyfriend and that I’m an old-

fashioned girl. Don’t ever tell her my birthdate.”

Gillian patted her own chest. “You know how good I am at this. But what’s with your birthday?”

Tanya merely rolled her eyes and replied impatiently, “Don’t ask too much. Just do as I say.”

This was a secret that only Tanya knew.

Claudia was a firm believer in numerology and geomancy. Even Tobias strongly believed in such things

too.

Way before this, Tanya had gotten someone to measure her compatibility with Tobias, and the two were

not suited for each other.

The numerologist had even told her not to force something that wasn’t meant to be.

Yet, the woman was adamant about changing her fate, so she had given Claudia a fake birthdate.

Naturally, Tanya was eventually revealed to be a perfect match for Tobias.

This made Claudia even more delighted, and she approved of Tanya as her daughter-in-law.

Upon walking out of the guest room, Tanya gave Tobias a call. The man never picked up, thus causing

the smile on her lips to vanish.
