In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 298

She almost married Jeremy. If she were his wife, she could only be ahousewife, taking care of his parents and children at home.

I guess I'm not that unfortunate. Luckily I made another call, or else mylife would be wasted.

While Skylar was lost in her thought of marriage, Penelope called her.Penelope apologized for what happened the day before. Besides, sheinvited Skylar for dinner as she had an important announcement.

As her best friend, Skylar happily accepted her invitation although shehad a date with Tobias that evening. Tobias was going to bring her to anice restaurant to have some gourmet Western cuisines.

Skylar couldn“t help but feel relieved after she called off the dinner. Shefelt stressed whenever she had Western cuisines with Tobias. The manwas very particular about the ambiance and the food quality.

He always opted for a full-course meal which consisted of an appetizer,soup, main course, salad, and dessert.

The dining etiquette was way too complicated to her liking. Actually,Skylar was not very fussy about what she ate. Besides, what annoyedher the most was that she had to stay alert throughout the meal so thatshe didn’t make a fool of herself.

That was her first time to call off a date with Tobias. His response wasrather indifferent. He just hummed in response, then he ended the call.Skylar was expecting Tobias to express concern for her, such asreminding her to get more rest. However, he would never saysomething like that to her.

Penelope was living a good life now. She and Skylar used to havebudgeted meals together at small restaurants, but now she booked atable at a high-end Japanese restaurant for dinner.

It cost at least eight hundred per person. In the old days, they never settheir foot in these deluxe restaurants.

“I'm pregnant.” Penelope smiled happily as she caressed her belly.Wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Skylar froze in her position as she was overwhelmed by the news. For amoment, she could not utter a word.

After recomposing herself, she asked, “Whose child is it? Is the man thefather? Did you tell him?”

Penelope pursed her lips and nodded.

After a few seconds, she softly replied, “Not yet. I'm going to keep thebaby anyway. I've placed all my hope on my baby. He's too good forme. I have to stabilize our relationship with our baby. He's going tomarry me."

Upon hearing what Penelope said, Skylar started getting emotional.“Are you trying to win a man’s heart with your baby? Don't be silly.What if he doesn't acknowledge that it's his child?”

Penelope condemned right away, “No, he won't do that.”

After their meetup, Skylar went home early. She put on the newnightgown and waited for Tobias to come home. It was a black silkcamisole nightgown with a deep V-neck. It fit her perfectly, showing hernice figure.

When Tobias came home, he was stunned by her beauty. The black silkfabric complimented her fair skin. She looked so sexy.

Tobias squinted his eyes and fixed his gaze on her amazing figure.Skylar walked towards him while flicking her hair back from her face."How do I look?” she asked shyly.

“Something is missing,” Tobias answered indifferently. In fact, Skylarlooked extremely attractive when she dressed like that.

However, Tobias always had high expectations. It was not easy to pleasehim.

Besides, he saw through her move. There had to be a reason for Skylarto be so nice to him suddenly, most probably she had something to askfrom him.

Skylar bit her lips and looked at him. “What's wrong? Do I not look sexyand pretty?”

Skylar thought she looked stunning in the nightgown.

Tobias went to the bedroom and looked for something in the cabinet.Skylar had kept some sexy lingerie there.

He handed a demi bra and a lacy underwear to her.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Skylar took the lingerie and headedtowards the room to get changed.

“Why are you avoiding me? Get changed in front of me.” Tobias placedone arm over the sofa and looked at her with a mischievous smile onhis face.
