In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 189

Skylar was jolted when she realized Tanya had investigated herbackground, to the extent she knew about her mom being hospitalized.Claudia who just found out hated Skylar even more because of it. Toher, someone that could abandon their own mother was capable ofmuch worse.

Tobias glared at Tanya who was trying to stop him from leaving. “Youseemed to have done your homework. It's such a shame you're not adetective. You should focus on taking care of the baby. Once the childis born, our relationship will end.”

Tanya had no choice but to watch them leave as she didn't dare throw atantrum in front of Tobias.

On the way home, Skylar was in a sullen mood. She would occasionallystare at the neon lights and passing cars outside the window beforeshifting her attention to Tobias who was driving.

When they arrived at a red light, Tobias held Skylar's hand andthreaded his fingers through them. She could feel how warm and roughthey were.

Given how rough Tobias’ hand was, she realized that he wasn't alwaysthis rich. He must have put in years of painstaking effort to be able tostand at the pinnacle of success.

“You shouldn't take what my mom said today personally. I shouldn'thave brought you there anyway. Besides, you look terrible when youworry about it. Frowning makes you look like an old hag.”

Skylar didn't realize that Tobias was quietly watching her the momentthey left the restaurant.

When she felt she had forgotten something, she realized the things shebought at the mall were still there. However, it was too late to go backfor them.

They had wasted their time there.

“Does it mean we have nothing to eat for tonight?” Tobias remarkedwith a smile.

Skylar replied pensively, “Perhaps I'll just cook some spaghetti.”

Tobias lost his appetite the moment he heard it was spaghetti again.Tobias wanted to drive her out to have something else but Skylar stillinsisted on spaghetti. Hence, he wondered why she loved spaghetti somuch.

Tobias hated spaghetti. When he was young, Sheldon and he had to eatspaghetti every day.

Skylar led the way and brought him to a spaghetti restaurant that wasvery popular on the internet.

They were famous for their frog leg spaghetti and many influencerswould visit just to be seen there. Furthermore, they were also featuredin many food programs.

Despite it being late, the place was still packed.

Tobias pulled aside the portiére for Skylar to enter.

Skylar ordered two plates of frog leg spaghetti and a portion of roastedpork. To round off, she asked for two cans of soft drinks.

She generously declared, “This is my treat.”

Tobias didn't argue.

When the plate of frog leg spaghetti was served, Tobias cringed as hepicked up the frog leg.

He then placed it on Skylar's plate instead.

His actions warmed Skylar's heart, causing her to smile blissfully. “Youdon't have to do that. I already have enough to eat.”

"But I don't eat this.”

Suddenly, Skylar felt her bubble burst. She had been overthinking

He had given her the meat because he didn't want them and yet shethought he wanted to save it for her.

Skylar's appetite appeared to be good as she finished all the fooddespite the large portions.

However, Tobias only had a little before leaving it by the side.

“Can you still eat?” Tobias pushed his plate toward Skylar.

Skylar replied, "Mr. Ford you really know the value of thriftiness bygiving me the leftovers.”

Tobias chuckled. “Even if we order a new one, you wouldn't be able tofinish it. Hence, it will just be a waste of money.”

Skylar didn't understand the way Tobias thinks. She didn't expectsomeone like him to utter the words “waste of money”. People whodidn't know him might actually think he was stingy.
