In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 107

Tobias was the perfect illustration of the charm time bestowed on men.He was like a vintage wine which, without having the need to taste andonly by whiffing, made one hopelessly tipsy.

Skylar mocked herself. I'm indeed a shallow woman who judges a manby his looks and worse, I'm admiring him as if I'm appreciating a pieceof artwork!

After getting to know that Tobias would not get married, the greedwithin her mind started surfacing and creating some indeterminateripples even though she knew all too well that one would be beyondredemption for falling in love with such a man.

Tobias could feel the gaze from behind him so he turned around andfound Skylar.

Her face was still as white as a sheet. However, she looked muchenergized and the usual she who liked to talk back to him had returned.Tobias hung up the call even before his secretary finished reporting tohim.

“Why don’t you sleep more? You need more rest to recuperate.”

Skylar put on a bright smile on her pallid face. “Do you also rest whenyou're sick?”

With his eyebrows furrowed, Tobias answered placidly, “I cantremember. I think so.”

A faint smile appeared on Skylar's face. How can anyone forgetsomething like this?

Tobias reached out and put his palm on Skylar's forehead. It was cool.“That's one of the perks of being youthful — a speedy recovery. I'mgoing out. You rest well at home and don’t need to hurry back toschool. I've applied for sick leave for you.”

There was tenderness in Skylar's eyes. She could still remember clearlywhat happened last night. Rubbing her eyes, she asked in an innocenttone, “Where are you going?”

Tobias raised his arm and run it down Skylar's cheek gently. This littlegirl has improved. She has even learned to ask about his whereabouts!“I'm going to the company and then to Wesley's.”

With a brief gaze at Tobias, Skylar yawned and then replied, “Forget it.I'll ask for the money myself. Just proceed with your business.”

Tobias snorted. Skylar can be overly confident sometimes. If she has thisability, she wouldn't have been pestered by others.

“Why are you treating me so well?” Skylar called out to Tobias who waspreparing to leave.

After a brief pause, Tobias eventually smiled and replied, “I have asudden impulse to get into a romantic relationship. I've never had onebefore!”

Skylar only regarded it as some made-up story. He even has a fiancée!How could he have not been in any romantic relationship before?

He must have never really loved any woman and only learned to leadthem straight to his bed. And she was one of them.

Skylar received a notice for an audition. Daryl Williams would becoming to her school for casting.

She didn't quite believe that such a fortune would come her way.

“How long will you be staying over here?” Holding the mop, Laura waslooking at her indifferently.

Skylar put away her phone and leaned back on the sofa as she yawned.“Who knows? Why? Have I been an impediment for you to bring yourfriends over and have fun? You can treat me as if I don't exist though.”Laura's real intention was exposed. She didn't want to entertain someunidentified woman with an unknown background either.

If I have the chance to meet Ms. Hanson, I would be sure to list all thedespicable deeds committed by this woman.

How can a wicked home wrecker compare to the legitimate fiancée ofTobias?

Tobias did not return for lunch. Looking at the oatmeal on the table,Skylar threw the spoon into her bowl, splattering the oatmeal all overthe table.

She had not much of an appetite. She had a sore throat and everythingfelt tasteless in her mouth. She didn’t want to eat something so bland.Laura squinted at her and said, “This is specially made for a patient likeyou. Sick people should eat unseasoned food.”

Skylar asked her, “Is there any canned food? I want to eat somethinglike that. When I was sick in the past, my grandma used to buy me tinsof peach slices.”

Laura answered impatiently, “No. Mr. Ford asked me to take care of youand serve you personally so I'm not supposed to leave. If you want toeat it so much, you can order food delivery.”
