In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 128

Zoey's beautiful eyes narrowed ever so slightly. She felt as though herheart was crushed into pieces.

That was the first time in the years she had known Tobias where heintroduced a woman as his girlfriend.

He had never even publicly acknowledged his relationship with Tanyaand had always remained aloof about it.

When Tanya Hanson bullied her, Tobias did his best to defend her andoutrightly sided with her.

The memory of Tanya fuming was still fresh in Zoey's mind.

Laura walked over to serve them drinks. She first poured some forTobias, then Zoey. When she. reached Skylar, she asked, “Is this alrightfor you?”

Skylar frowned. “Yes, this is fine.”

Zoey took a seat on the couch as sorrow began to engulf her.Disappointment was an emotion she was familiar with when it came toTobias.

When she first heard of Tobias's engagement, she was broken-heartedShe was unable to accept the fact that the man she had pined for allthese years was going to marry someone else. Despite the fact thattheir relationship remained stagnant for years because Tobias onlyregarded her as a sister, she still hoped for more.

No matter how hard she tried to fight for his love, nothing could alterthe reality. All she could do was head to Italy to heal her wounds. Whenshe caught wind that his engagement was called off, she was over themoon and immediately bought tickets to return home.

All these years, she had been unwilling to give up. To her, as long as sheput in the effort, sparks were bound to fly between the two of them.She even made a wild guess that the abrupt cancelation of theengagement was because of her.

Alas, she was proven wrong. Tobias had abandoned his fiancée for anew conquest.

“Tobias, I want to stay here for a period of time. I'm not going home!You won't mind, right?” Zoey asked.

Tobias frowned slightly and replied, “Everywhere else is fine. Why areyou adamant about staying here?”

Putting on an innocent and piteous look, she stared at Tobias with tearyeyes and responded, “I'm used to staying here. I don’t want to move. Orare you planning to stay here with your girlfriend?”

Skylar then chimed in with a bright smile on her face. “Don’t worry. Iwon't stay here often. But I don't have the right to make the decision.”Zoey studied her carefully from top to toe

Her delicate features and flawless face accentuated her beauty. Everysmile she flashed was enchanting and alluring. Even Zoey wasimpressed by her exceptional looks.

Then she took a peek at Tobias, whose face was still expressionless.“Do what you want. I'll leave this place to you. Anyway, I'm going tosend Skylar somewhere near her school.” Fishing out his keys from hispocket, he tossed them to Zoey.

As she reached out to receive the keys, she felt dismayed. Aftershooting Skylar a death stare, she glared at their intertwined hands. Isshe doing this on purpose to spite me?

Upon leaving International Garden, Skylar promptly let go of Tobias'shand.

He raised his hand and smirked. “How realistic of you. You were holdingonto my hand so tightly.”

“Hmm... Sister? Thankfully, I've been staying in school. I didn’t know Iwas staying in someone else's house.”

Tobias lifted an eyebrow. He disliked having to explain himself, butsomething about Skylar's manner told him that she was going to getthe wrong idea if he did not clarify the matter.
