In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 109

Tobias added with disdain, “You're quick to sell Skylar for barely threehundred thousand. Why haven't you ever thought about improvingyour relationship with her? The perks you might have gotten now thatSkylar is together with me should exceed far beyond three hundredthousand, don't you understand?”

Realization suddenly dawned on them. Wesley and Sharon could neverbe more regretful in their life.

The wealth Tobias possessed could even rival that of a nation and hewas a known spendthrift. Thus, what he could give to Skylar wasunquestionably greater since rich men like him would easily spendmillions just for a wristwatch.

Then, in front of Skylar, Sharon made a call to Lily to cancel thewedding and return all the money to her.

Even from this side of the phone, Lily's loud and irritable voice could beheard clearly. “What's going on? My son has since locked himself up inhis room after returning home last night. Isn't it too late for you tomention canceling the wedding now?”

Wesley grabbed the phone and spoke aggressively, “Cancel meanscancel! That's for the well-being of my niece.”

Skylar was relieved. Meeting Tobias’ eyes, she realized with him around,any difficult situation could be easily solved and she would never haveto endure it alone.

Coming out of Wesley's house, Tobias took her in his arms and his deepvoice came from beside her ear. “I can unravel all kinds of mess for youso just relax and stay by my side. I don't require much from you as longas you behave and listen to me.”

Skylar asked in response, “What kind of a relationship is this?”

Tobias replied gently, “You can treat me as your boyfriend. It's up to youhow you want to treat it.”

“I don't know. I can't answer you for now. I was already preparing tospend the rest of my life alone.” Skylar was at a loss.

Tobias gave her a faint smile. “How old are you? You sounded likesomeone who has seen through the temporality of life. Anyway, there iscertainly some progress since you're not so firm on your stanceanymore. That leaves me with some hope.”

Tobias could surely meet up to all women’s fantasies about men. Hewas good-looking, mature, wealthy, assertive and possessed thecharisma that a mellow man should have.

Skylar was clear about the fact that Tobias couldnt give her the senseof security she needed. He was just like a sweet dream that one had towake up from eventually.

You can never really get into a circle where you don't belong. At theend of the day, you're only shaming yourself and making it difficult forothers.

Tobias said that he was starving so Skylar followed him to the shoppingmall nearby.

The assets and properties of Ford Group were everywhere in the city.Even a shopping mall they found at random was owned by Ford Group.When they passed by the flagship store of Hermes, Skylar didn't evencare to take a glance inside.

Her reaction intrigued Tobias.

“Isn't it the case that all women like bags? Don't you want to go in andhave a look?”

Skylar looked at her reflection on the glass and mocked at herself,“With my financial status, even if I carried Hermes, people would regardit as some counterfeit products so why should I waste the money? Imight as well just buy a counterfeit one.”

Tobias could somehow understand Skylar's consumption view. Differentupbringing would contribute to the different consumption views oreplaceividuals.

She might still be clueless about the extent of satisfaction he couldprovide her. To Tobias, money was merely a number.

All the women who had been together with him would barge intoHermés store as soon as they saw it. And then, very subtly, they wouldexpress how much they liked the bags or other products within.

He took Skylar's hand and clasped his fingers tightly around hers.“You're always carrying this backpack around wherever you go. Otherswould probably think that I'm dating a high school girl, and that makesme look so much older.”

Skylar held on tightly to the backpack in her hands. It was actually apresent from Jeremy.

There was a discount at the Nike store back then and it cost less thantwo hundred. It was the most expensive bag she had ever had till then.It was Skylar's first time entering a luxury retail store. In the past, even ifshe passed by, she wouldn't even dare to stop a little longer at thedoor.

Just as they stepped in, Tobias’ phone started ringing. He pointedtowards the store's exit and told Skylar that he needed to answer a call.Skylar nodded and with that, Tobias left, leaving her alone in theHermes store.
