In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 179

Claudia raised her hand to tug Tobias back. “It's my birthday today.Don't answer it, I'm sure your work can wait.”

Tanya lifted her head to look at him and said considerately, “Tobias, youcan just answer it here. We won't make a sound until you're done.”Tobias declined the call, not wanting to get into a dispute with hismother during her birthday celebration because of a woman while hisrelatives were around.

Claudia was happy with his decision.

“When are you going to move back, Tobias?” Tanya inched closer tohim, her honeyed voice grating on his nerves.

While Claudia was chatting with their relatives, Tobias led Tanya out ofthe private room.

As Tanya got up, she cautiously guarded her belly with both hands.Upon seeing the two of them leave, Tobias’ uncle asked, “No wonderthe wedding's been postponed. Turns out his wife is pregnant. Whydidn’t you share such wonderful news with us, Claudia?”

Claudia’s expression turned slightly embarrassed. How could I? Was Isupposed to say that my son doesn’t want to acknowledge his wife andunborn child?

If I did, my son would seem just like his b*stard of a father whodiscarded women like they were nothing.

Tobias turned to close the door behind him. He and Tanya werestanding in the corridor, and the expression on his face was sullen.

“So when are you going to leave?”

Tanya caressed her belly while standing mere inches away from Tobias.“Why should I leave? You should come home once you've settled yourmess outside. It's time to concentrate on raising this child together.”

If it weren't for his self-restraint that kept him from laying a hand on apregnant woman, he would have slapped Tanya across the face by now.He had seen all kinds of women over the years. It was just toounfortunate that his mother took a liking to such a shameless one likeTanya.

“Do you really think I'll put up with this forever? You should knowbetter than anyone who that baby in your belly belongs to.”

Tobias’ eyes burned with fury and his voice had a biting tone to it.Tanya smiled as she thought about how her plan was still on track.Although the child does not belong to Tobias, she would make it seem0.

To join the Ford family, sacrificing a child was nothing.

Once she gave birth to the child, she knew that Tobias wouldundoubtedly arrange for a paternity test. Her previous attempt to foolhim failed, so this child was her trump card to maintain her place in theFord family for the time being.

As for the baby, she could easily stage a miscarriage. Although shewould be harming herself in the process, it was worth it for the sake ofher future.

Faced with an angered Tobias, she continued to insist, “Feel free to do apaternity test after the child is born. Tobias, I don't ask for you to loveme. I would even accept your cheating ways, but please don't force meto leave your side. Let me take care of Mom.”

Tobias’ phone was vibrating incessantly at that moment. Due to hisboiling anger, he whipped out his phone irritably.

Tanya squinted her eyes and saw that the saved name on Tobias’ phoneshowed “ASkylar.”

He's still with that woman. He even put the alphabet A in front of hername so that he can easily replace her contact number.

This is practically a public display of affection!

“Your mom and I have talked about Skylar before. She knows thatSkylar's the daughter of a murderer. Do you really think your motherwill accept someone like her?” Tanya feigned kindness as she calmlyreminded Tobias.

Tobias shot an icy glance at Tanya. If it weren't for his mother's healthissue, this woman would never have the nerve to act like this.
