In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 150

His words were cold and to the point—it was nothing as romantic asshe had envisioned. Skylar scolded herself for being so petty. Tobiaswas treating it like a chore instead of messaging her willingly. Did hefeel forced into it by me somehow?

Skylar replied: Can I ask why you're in Thailand, by the way? For in-vitrofertilization? Getting sex reassignment surgery done?

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed frantically. Shewanted to replace a common topic of interest with him. Truth be told, itwas rather pressurizing to have a conversation with a man that was tenyears older than her—she couldn't think of what to say at all.

Should she be like those university couples and send him lovey doveymessages? No, that was way too cheesy.

Tobias replied immediately: I don't need that. Besides, I have no wish ofbecoming a woman. I'm here for a tattoo.

Skylar rolled around in bed excitedly. She didn't feel tired anymore.She couldn't help but associate tattoos with backstreet gangsters, whocovered their entire bodies with skulls and other morbid images. Thiswas the complete opposite of Tobias's vibe—he was mature andcivilized. Since it was quite improbable that he would have gangsterfriends, how did he ever think of getting a tattoo?

A sudden realization dawned on her. Had Tobias decided to get atattoo of her name to prove his love for her? However, this sort of ideawas quite preposterous. Skylar was not one of those girls who lost allsense of logic the moment they got into a relationship.

However, although she tried to hold herself back, her fingers were veryhonest.

She replied: What tattoo did you get? You don't have to do that forme...

The chat window showed that he was typing a reply. However, itdisappeared after a short while.

Skylar held onto her phone tightly, looking at the screen withoutblinking. However, Tobias didn't reply for another thirty minutes. Hadher words baffled him?

In the dead of the night, the crickets were chirping loudly. Thesurrounding was so quiet that Skylar could even hear her ownbreathing.

After an hour had passed, she decided to message him again.

Skylar typed: 22?

Waiting for him to reply was agonizing. Her heart kept beatingfuriously. She tossed and turned a few times as she yawned loudly.After turning around a few times, she finally fell asleep holding herphone.

When she woke up the next morning, Skylar felt around the bed for herphone before she even opened her eyes. When she finally did, the sunwas already shining outside. Fatigue made her lie in bed for a littlelonger. When she saw a new notification on her phone, however, shejolted awake immediately.

Tobias said: Sorry, my phone ran out of battery last night while I wasout.

That message was sent at eight in the morning. Women were muchmore analytical when they were in love. Like Sherlock Holmes, Skylarstarted to pull apart Tobias's words in her mind. He was out at one inthe morning. However, most youngsters would never let their phonesrun out of battery. They usually carried a charger or a power bank withthem wherever they went. Does Tobias have neither one of them?

Has he been drinking at one of Thailand's bars yesterday night?Tobias used to be a VVIP at Elysium. Every time the boss knew of hisarrival, he would run out and greet Tobias as though he were thepresident himself. Men would get bored easily if they only drank atbars. There were definitely women around yesterday night.

The more she thought about it, the more troubled Skylar felt.

She felt a little bad for treating Tobias so unfairly. After her relationshipwith Jeremy, she had become much warier of her men, especially herboyfriends. As she thought about it, she realized that Tobias wasn'texactly innocent either. After all, he didn't have the best reputation inthis regard.

If she were a man and had Tobias’ net worth and irresistible face, shewould have gotten herself a harem by now. How could he stand beingtied down by one woman?

Perhaps the reason behind Tobias and Tanya's delayed wedding wasbecause he didn’t want to be tied down just yet. Perhaps, he still longedfor the world of wine and women.
