In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 299

Skylar did as he said. She acted swiftly and got changed in a wink. Shewas so embarrassed and her face was as red as a tomato.

Her shyness made Tobias even more aroused.

However, he kept calm and whispered in her ear, “What do you wantfrom me?”

He knew it! I shouldn't have put up such a show. He's not arousedanyway. I should've just told him instead.

Skylar regretted seducing him in a sexy nightgown.

She even rehearsed the scene in front of the mirror before he camehome.

“I want to meet a person. He's your friend. Can you help me?”

Skylar was not sure how Tobias would feel about it, so she asked himcarefully.

Although she had slept with him, he seemed distant to her.

Therefore, Skylar never asked him about his whereabouts or whatsoeverunless he told her himself.

Before that, she had asked once but he seemed annoyed as if she hadcrossed the line. Since then, she would only call him and get straight tothe point.

“Alright. Who is it? I'll make arrangements.” Tobias didn't ask furtherand agreed to help without hesitation.

Things went easier than she thought. However, she didn't know theman’s name. “I don’t know his name, but we've met him at the teahouse. The one who introduced a young model to you that day.”Tobias had an excellent memory. He instantly remembered the manafter listening to her.

“His name is Brayden Scott. He's running a coal mining business.”Tobias briefly described the man’s background. He still didn't ask Skylarabout her intention of meeting the man.

She would tell him if she wanted to.

“Is he married?” Skylar still held out hope for the man. If he was single,perhaps Penelope could try her best to get him.

“If I'm not mistaken, he has a kid around six or seven.” Tobias’ replymade Skylar's hope shatter into pieces.

Tobias was the type of person who acted on his words. He arranged ameetup for Skylar and Brayden on the next day's evening.

Skylar gazed at the man sitting in front of her. She didn't take a closelook at him during the first encounter. Looking at his good-lookingappearance, she finally understood why Penelope fell for the man.Brayden was indeed an attractive man. He was in his early forties,looking smart in his grey suit. He looked decent and smart, perfectlyshowing the charm of a mature man.

That was their second encounter. Brayden sized Skylar up in silence. Hecouldn't believe that Tobias had fallen for a woman.

“To what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Ford?” Brayden had a deep,pleasing voice.

Tobias lit up a cigarette and glanced at Skylar. “My girlfriend wants tosee you. I'm not sure about the reason though.”

Brayden was stunned when Tobias addressed her as “girlfriend” insteadof “friend”.

“I'm Penelope's friend. She's pregnant with your child.” Without beatingaround the bush, Skylar got straight to the point. She wanted to knowBrayden’s attitude on that matter. Most importantly, she tried to keepPenelope safe from harm.

Upon hearing that, Brayden was nonplussed. Right then, Tobias figuredout Skylar's intention. Penelope had put herself in trouble with somedebt, and now she was impregnated.

"So? Are you asking if I will take responsibility for the baby? But now wedon't even know the biological father of the baby,” Brayden replied.Skylar tried to keep her cool and said solemnly, “You're a married man.It's not fair to Penelope. You should tell her the truth, then talk to herabout the baby. The baby..."
