In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 126

Skylar remained frozen in her spot while Tobias headed straight for thebed. He sat down and removed his suit jacket while staring at hisphone.

“Why're you losing your temper at me? I don't recall offending you.”Tobias was the first to break the silence.

Skylar felt an indescribable melancholy. “I have to make this clear today.What sort of relationship do we have?” questioned Skylar.

The lines between both of them were far too blurred. Skylar had oncefantasized about being in a relationship with Tobias, yet hedisappointed her repeatedly. He gave her false hopes again and again,only to let reality break her heart every single time, plunging her intodespair.

She could not deny the fact that he was indifferent toward her. It wasapparent that he barely made an effort to close the gap between them.Above all, Tobias only needed her body to satisfy him in bed. Her heartached further at the thought of him allowing some other woman toreside in the International Garden.

Tears began to well up in her eyes.

Looking at her pitiful and teary eyes, Tobias began to adopt a moregentle attitude. “What sort of relationship do you think we have? Didn'tI say this before? You're my girlfriend. Hasn't that been made clearenough? Or do you feel that I haven't been worthy enough as aboyfriend?”

Skylar sniffled as she struggled to stifle her tears. If she shed tears infront of Tobias, he would probably make a snide remark and criticizeher for crying so easily.

She kept her gaze on the floor as she lamented, “Do couples behavethis way? You only look for me when you need me. When you don't,you seem to disappear from the face of the earth without a trace. Ihardly receive any messages from you.”

Tobias's brows furrowed. The fatigue was evident in his visage. “Are youblaming me for not contacting you? Well, I'm an extremely busy person.I won't always have the time to take care of you. Skylar, if you want tobe in a relationship with me, you have to keep up with my pace. I won'tbe like your ex-boyfriends. My whole life can't revolve around you, andI can't possibly ask about your wellbeing through texts all the time.You're not a teenager anymore, so you shouldn't be maintaining yourrelationship with childish ways.”

With the nonchalance in his tone, it was obvious that he didn't see anyproblem with his attitude.

Skylar gradually understood that being in a relationship with asuccessful man like him was no easy feat. It's like giving a porcupine ahug. If I want to get close to him, I have to brace myself for injuries.

“I can see why you have no time for me. With the time spent on otherwomen, how would you have the capacity to deal with me? I recentlywent to International Garden and saw your latest conquest there,”hissed Skylar, who was oblivious to the notes of jealousy in her tone.Tobias knitted his brows. “I don't know what you're babbling about. Inthe first place, I bought that villa for you. Besides, I've been in Rome thepast month and only just returned,” he rasped.

Skylar stiffened at this revelation. “But I really saw a woman staying inthere.”

Tobias looked up to scrutinize her. When their eyes met, he realizedthat she was indeed confused. “I'm not sure who that was either. So... Isthat jealousy I'm sensing?”

“I am jealous! I've had enough of this undefined relationship. TobiasFord, since you're not able to give me the slightest sense of security,there's no need for me to give a d*mn about you either. I'd rather live ahappy single life than get tormented by you.”

Those words did not sound foreign to Tobias. Sense of security? What'sthat? He was clueless as well.
