In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 311

Tobias was good at reading people's emotions. He felt that he hadcommunicated his opinions clear enough to Skylar.

“Aren't you going out today?” Skylar was curious to see him sipping teaon the sofa without any intention to leave.

The winter sun shone into the room through the window aperture,bringing with it a cozy touch. Yet, the warmth still could not melt hiscold expression.

“Aren’t you always grumbling that I don't spend enough time with you?So, I'm going to stay home, enjoy a cuppa, bask in the sun, and keepyou company all day.”

Spending time at home like an old couple was not a lifestyle that Skylarwas ready for.

Seeing that she had gotten dressed to head out, Tobias called out toher, “I'm staying in, but you're going out? I've checked with yourmanager. You don't have any work today, so you don't need to be atthe set. Are you avoiding me?”

Skylar doubted herself for a second. I've got an appointment with Kateat eleven today. Why is Tobias claiming otherwise?

Right when she was about to make a phone call to confirm herschedule, Tobias grabbed her wrist. “Your appointment today has beencanceled at the very last minute because your manager fullyunderstands that accompanying me is a better option—more practicalthan attending work events.”

So, he's subtly saying that as long as I serve him well, I'll be rewardedwith a lot of resources that will benefit my career? Skylar cringed at hiswords but did not debate further with him.

She was walking a tightrope, anticipating the day her accumulatedresentment would burst out like a popped balloon. She whined underher breath, “The story will surely develop differently when you dumpme one day.”

Tobias did not hear what she said. Shrugging her shoulders with a smileon her face, Skylar pretended as if nothing happened.

Then, she removed her handbag and slumped on the sofa. Simpering,she asked, “What's your plan for the day, Mr. Ford? You're probably stilltired from last night and don't have the mood to go another roundduring the day, right?”

Indeed, Tobias seemed disinterested.

“Wherever you want to go. I can be your chauffeur today.” That was theonly thing he could suggest.

Skylar did not have anything in mind. In fact, there was no place shewanted to go with Tobias. When they went on dates, she always had tostay quiet by the side while he spoke on the phone.

At that moment, Tobias heard knocking on the door. He glanced atSkylar, signaling her to answer the door.

However, she remained seated as steady as a rock with the hope thatthe high and mighty Tobias would step down from his throne and dothe honors.

He opened the door and was not surprised to see the two individuals atthe entrance. In a cold and unfriendly tone, he blurted, “The newneighbors are here to say hi?”

Both Miranda and Thomas were astounded that Tobias already knewabout their move.

It was a double delight for Miranda. She had her husband back and alsodiscovered the shocking news about Tobias’ identity— the CEO of FordGroup.

In the past, she would complain about raising a daughter and oftenthink that a daughter's worth depended on the value of her

husband. There's no wonder the guests at the banquet revered Tobias,just like how the ancient courtiers behaved when they saw their king.The term “new neighbors’ caught Skylar's attention.

Upon realizing who was at the door, she shut her eyes for threeseconds as she took a deep breath. Now I know why there had beenthings being delivered to the vacant house across the street since half amonth ago.

She was almost certain that Thomas was behind this because Mirandadid not know Skylar's address. He was definitely up to no good.Leaning back against the sofa, Skylar stared at her parents. Theirpresence affected her mood.

“It's your dad's idea to move closer so that we can take care of eachother.” Miranda sat side by side with Thomas as if they wereinseparable.

Skylar could not comprehend how the two could live with each otherafter a severe fallout.
