In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 14

In the meantime, Jeremy watched as the stranger approached them, hisAudi eclipsed by the latter's black Maybach.

The man was tall, and his face was as cold as ice. With a gaze as sharpas the wind in a winter night, his aura was too imposing.

Jeremy thought the man was a casual passer-by until he stopped infront of Skylar.

“Come with me once you're ready,” the man said, his voice silvery.Skylar's eyes widened at Tobias. What is he doing here?

“She's my girlfriend,” Jeremy proclaimed. “Why does she have to gowith you? We've been together for seven years.”

Sneering, Tobias cast a sidelong glance at Jeremy and thumbed hisnose at him.

Skylar was in a quandary. Caught between Jeremy and Tobias, she feltas though there was a ball of flame burning in her chest.

But in order to get away from Jeremy, she simply latched onto Tobiasarms and looked at the former ruthlessly. “We've broken up,remember? Don't ever show up in front of me again unless you'regonna return the money. Don't think that you can run away from this.I'm gonna keep my eyes on you until the day you spit it out.”

Her actions had Jeremy flabbergasted; never did he expect Skylar tomove on so Soon.

Given her status, he wondered how she acquainted herself with such aperson, who seemed like a big shot.

“You're doing this on purpose just to upset me, aren't you? I'm notfeeling well, so you can't do this to me.” Jeremy clutched at that pieceof cloth before his heart, holding on tightly to Skylar's suitcase.

Right then, she released her grip on Tobias’ arm.

“Do you have no respect for yourself?” Tobias piped up with hispiercing cold voice, thinking that she was about to run back to Jeremy.Unexpectedly, Skylar flashed a charming smile at Tobias. “I'm not awoman who'd stoop so low.”

Jeremy, similarly, had thought that Skylar had gone soft until shepointed at the suitcase and said, “Give me back my suitcase.”

The man refused to let go, but when his eyes met Tobias’, his griploosened unconsciously.

There was something about the latter's gaze that made him trembled.Taking back her suitcase, Tobias and Skylar walked towards theMaybach. Then she heaved the suitcase inside the trunk withoutreceiving any help from the former.

Skylar was smart to get into the passenger's seat this time.

“You b*tch,” Jeremy cursed, kicking the curb as he watched the blackMaybach drove away. “You cuckolded me while I was sick. Just youwait."

“188 Lincoln Avenue, please,” Skylar said once they exited theneighborhood. “You can stop me by the road if it's inconvenient foryou.”

“Your Uncle Wesley probably wouldn't welcome you,” Tobias saidstraightforwardly upon hearing that familiar street name.

Gifted with a photographic memory, he remembered reading from thedocuments that Flynn had gathered about her. Lincoln Avenue waswhere she had stayed with Meredith, but was now occupied by herUncle Wesley and his family.

Skylar gasped in surprise, a chill wafting across her body. “How did youknow that's my uncle's house? Did you do a background check on me?”“Why not? Who knows if you have an ulterior motive for coming to mycompany today.”

Skylar pinched the bridge of her nose. “Does that mean I shouldsuspect you for having an ulterior motive when you show up in front ofmy house in the middle of the night?”

At that, Tobias’ lips quirked up in a half smile. This girl sure knows howto talk.
