In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 239

Skylar felt aggrieved. She did not feel like she did anything wrong.Nevertheless, she had always been oppressed like that in the past,anyone would start feeling like letting it out at this point.

However, Skylar stayed calm. “I'm leaving now. Sorry for spoiling yourmood. Eva, you should get some more food on your boyfriend's plate.Don't let me affect his appetite.”

Eva stared at Skylar, infuriated by her comments.

I would've never brought David here if I knew this would happen. Now,he'll just think we're a mediocre family.

After Skylar left, Miranda apologized to her relatives awkwardly, but sheactually agreed with what Skylar had said.

During her time in jail, the only person that ever came to visit was hermother who brought Skylar with her.

Not once did her own brother visited her.

Meanwhile, Skylar got out of the house and heard a car honking fromafar. She instinctively looked towards the direction of the noise.

She stood there, looking at a car she did not recognize and scratchedher head. What am I thinking? Why would Tobias be here?

All of a sudden, Skylar's phone rang. It was Tobias.

“Ms. Jones, what are you standing there for? Hop on...”

Right then, Skylar realized that the car she was looking at really wasTobias’. Hence, she immediately ran over to open the door and hoppedinto the passenger seat. Up to the point where she fastened the seatbelt, the whole process was smooth like butter.

“Why are you so nice all of a sudden? You're even here to pick me up.”Skylar showed Tobias a near perfect smile.

His hands were on the steering wheel when he replied, “I was worriedthat you might get bullied at the dinner and I'll have to rush in for you.”“I'm not that weak you know. No one would dare to bully me,” Skylaraffirmed.

There was still a hint of smoke indicating that Tobias lit a cigarette justnow. The opened window also pointed towards the same indication.The weather had been getting colder and colder recently. Especially atnight, the frigid wind felt like it would bite into the bones.

Skylar was tightening her collar due to the cold, so Tobias closed thewindow and turned on the heater.

He did not bring Skylar home immediately. Instead, they went to a café.“Are we going on a date?” Skylar saw the signboard of a café. It lookedlike business was going well since a lot of people were seated by thewindow.

“Well, something like that...” Tobias found a spot and parked the car.They got out of the car together. The difference in temperature felt likethere was a change of seasons.

With it being so cold, Tobias took off his coat and placed it over Skylar.The scent of his cologne immediately filled up every breath she took.Then, he wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her closer tohim so they could keep warm.

After entering the café, Skylar went to look for seats whereas Tobiasordered a cup of cappuccino as well as a cup of black coffee withoutsugar and milk at the counter.

“Do all CEOs drink black coffee?” Skylar asked. “Every time I watch aseries or read a novel, the CEO would always have a black coffee,without fail.”

It was the first time Tobias ever heard about something like thatthough

“I got used to it. I'm a very loyal man, once I get used to something, I'llstick to it,” he answered.

Skylar smiled as she stirred the coffee, humored by what Tobias justsaid. She did not say anything as Tobias’ description of himself was wayoff.

“That's why you can't fall asleep. You drink too much black coffee.”Tobias did not respond as he did not want to continue the small talk.They were not there for the sole purpose of dating either as he quietlytook out a contract from his briefcase.

Skylar had seen it before. It was the one she signed that very day. Theyare now in the hands of Tobias.

“Did I filled it in incorrectly? Did it get rejected?” Skylar asked.
