In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 127

Tobias stood behind Skylar. Suddenly, his low and deep voice soundedabove her head. “A sense of security doesn’t have to come from others.Remember, you can't rely on anyone in the world except yourself. Onceyou're strong enough, you'll feel secure.”

Skylar's body tensed up. The closer Tobias was to her, the more anxiousshe became.

She found herself unable to rebuke his argument while she wasoverwhelmed by that familiar scent of his.

The light and refreshing white sandalwood cologne he had on maskedthe smell of tobacco and ignited her desire.

Tobias circled his arms around her waist firmly and inhaled the faintscent of her shampoo. “Let's make a trip back. I want to see who'sstaying there so you can stop imagining things and cease theaccusations about my nonexistent mistress.”

With that, the force around her waist vanished. Skylar shot him asuspicious look. Does he really not know? Or is he pretending not toknow?

As they made their way to International Garden, nervousness began tohit Skylar. She was apprehensive about approaching the property andconfronting the woman who resided in it.

A million thoughts crossed her mind. Maybe she’s an ex-lover ofTobias? Perhaps International Garden was where she used to live?When they arrived at International Garden, Laura saw Tobias and Skylarreturn at the same time.

She respectfully waited at the entrance to assist them with changingtheir footwear, but the pair couldnt be bothered about it. Skylar wasmore concerned with clarifying the issue as soon as possible so that shecould return to school without delay. Besides, she had to prepare forher trip to N Province.

She even wondered if Daryl had forgotten about her.

“Tobias, how did you know I'm back? I called you several times, butthere was no answer. Then I heard that you were in Rome for business.”A sweet female voice echoed in the house. When Zoey Stewart sawTobias with a woman in tow, the smile on her face evaporated.

Laura had warned her that Tobias brought a woman home previously,but she was unconvinced.

Skylar blinked her eyes in shock. She knew that Tobias had a youngerbrother, but she didn't expect him to have a sister as well. Unless she'san illegitimate child? I guess you'd never know what kind of secrets theaffluent families are hiding

But this woman bore no resemblances to Tobias.

When Tobias saw Zoey, there was barely any change in his expression.“Why are you staying here? You didn't even inform me. When did youreturn?”

Zoey's eyes never left the woman beside Tobias. Her piercing gaze toldSkylar that she was unwelcome.

“This has always been my abode! I'm just returning home. What'swrong with that?” She shot Tobias a pitiful look.

Fearful that Skylar may develop the wrong idea, he introduced Zoey toher. “This is Zoey Steward, my friend's younger sister.”

Skylar gave Zoey a light nod and a polite smile. She decided to turn ablind eye to the latter's unfriendly demeanor. I can’t possibly ask herwhy she’s glaring at me on our first meeting...

Upon hearing the words “friend's younger sister,” Zoey lowered herhead dejectedly. Then, she murmured, “And this is? I've never seen herbefore, and she doesn't look like Tanya.”

Skylar remained silent and waited for Tobias to introduce her.

She was unclear on what their relationship was. Referring to them aslovers would be an overstatement.

“This is my girlfriend, Skylar.” His tone was low and domineering, liftingSkylar's spirits.
