In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 187

The last time Claudia was hospitalized, she was warded into the ICU asher condition was extremely serious. Luckily, they managed to get aforeign specialist to treat her.

The doctor had constantly reminded them that she could not undergoany stress. And that became Tobias’ weakness which Tanya seized upon.“Ms. Jones, I'm sure you can see how I'm unable to pleasure Tobias inmy current condition. Hence, you're just my replacement for the timebeing. But, you will soon end up just like me,” Tanya sobbed.

She had inadvertently become the “wife” that everyone sympathizedwith. Her “husband” cheated on her while she was pregnant despite thefact that Tobias and her were not actually married.

“Enough, do you have no shame?” Tobias pulled Skylar closer to himand he could feel that her body was slightly trembling.

Many onlookers had surrounded them and watched the commotion.Skylar felt the full brunt of their condescending gazes and mockery.Anyone who had a sense of justice would naturally sympathize with thepregnant Tanya.

Tobias vented his frustrations on the bodyguards who were alsowatching from behind. “Send my mom and Ms. Hanson home.”

Tobias wanted to take Skylar away as she didn’t deserve to go throughthis.

He was stumped by such humiliation. In the business world, he wasruthless and decisive in whatever he did. In fact, he would do whateverit takes to achieve his gains.

However, resolving this problem was just like walking through aminefield. He had to be careful not to ignite any one of them for fearthat his mother’s condition would deteriorate.

He neither had the luxury to be gentle nor harsh. Tanya was stayingwith his mother on the account that she saved her life.

To the extent that he suspected someone had actually caused hismother to fall unconscious on the streets.

Therefore, he was already investigating the matter.

Not daring to disobey Tobias, the bodyguard suggested to Claudia,“Ma’am, let's go home.”

Claudia gave the bodyguard a side-eye and proposed, “It's getting late.I'm sure Ms. Jones hasn't had dinner yet. Since we're all here, I want tohave a meal with my son. Ms. Jones, why don’t you join us?”

Skylar looked at Tobias as the decision was his to make. She was awareit wasn't really a dinner invitation, but a trap instead. She would bemade to suffer.

However, despite how terrible it felt, she knew she had to face it sooneror later. There was no way to avoid it.

Skylar accepted Claudia’s invitation as she wasn’t willing to put Tobiasin a difficult position. Although he didn’t seem to be troubled at all.They arrived at a French restaurant with beautiful surroundings andexquisite decor. Claudia was a regular here. Every time she visited, shewould dine in a private room reserved only for her because she did notlike to be disturbed. When she wasn't around, the room would not beused for other guests.

Faced with Tanya's jealous gaze, Tobias sat beside Skylar. She wasn't incontrol of today’s situation at all.

Just a month ago, Tanya had assumed Skylar was just one of the manyflings Tobias had. She didn't expect them to still be together and thatthey had spent so much time with each other.

After Claudia ordered her usual from the waiter, she took a sip of tea tomoisten her throat. “Tobias' tastes are similar to mine. He prefers hisfood to be lightly seasoned. Ms. Jones, do you like French food?”Skylar nodded. “I'm alright with it.”

When Skylar saw how well Claudia maintained her composure, it feltlike the calm before the storm to her.

“Just alright? It seems you have no taste in food, just like your taste inmen. Despite knowing Tobias has a family, you still insist on interfering.”It was just as Skylar had expected. She replied, “There's no way I canexplain myself. But I know I have not hurt anyone.”
