In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 317

Kate would've believed in Skylar's glorified statements if not for herabsence of mind whenever Tobias didn't get in touch with her. Thelatter would always check her phone for texts or calls from Tobias.Winnie arrived at the recording studio moments later, dressed in adown jacket with a revealing camisole inside. Her choice of outfit—isshe feeling warm or cold?

When Winnie saw Skylar, she greeted the latter warmly, implicitlyacknowledging their “familial” relationship.

Although they were both girlfriends to the Ford siblings, Skylar didn’tthink it called for a close relationship between the two women. Call mepetty, but I still couldn't get over the things she has done to me!

“Given the chilly weather today, aren't you worried about catching acold by wearing so little?”

Despite Winnie's dramatic tone, Skylar replied plainly, “Someone willpick me up later. So, I won't catch a cold.”

She didn't bother to elaborate further either, appearing cold.

Before entering the recording studio, Winnie whipped out her phoneand called Sheldon to complain.

Hearing that, Sheldon felt that Skylar didn’t show him any respect at allby ignoring Winnie.

Hence, he began to feel exasperated. How dare she show such anattitude just because she has Tobias’ affection.

She knows that Winnie is my girlfriend, so why does she have to act sodistant?

Sheldon could imagine how disappointed Winnie must have felt.Furthermore, he couldn't bear to see her ingratiate herself withsomeone who didn't reciprocate.

Outside, it was just as Winnie had described. The temperature haddropped significantly at night while the wind was bone-chilling cold.Skylar stood by the entrance for a very long time.

Skylar wasn't waiting for Tobias to pick her up as she wasn't expectinghim.

After waiting in the brutal winter wind for more than ten minutes, shestill couldn't manage to hail a cab.

As her hands trembled in the cold, she took out her phone to order aUber ride.

Upon arriving home, she saw Tobias standing by the door, dressed in agrey woolen sweater.

She had never seen him in such casual clothing before, and it made himlook younger.

The moment they made eye contact, Tobias reprimanded, “Why didn’tyou get someone to pick you up? I've told you time and again—don'ttake Uber, especially when you're alone! Considering how gorgeous myBaby looks, who knows what the driver might do to you? It'll be too latefor regrets by then!”

Despite how nice Tobias framed his words, Skylar had the urge toretort. Why didn’t he think of calling me to see if I needed a driver?However, she kept it to herself. Forget it! With him staying over isalready good enough.

Skylar averted his gaze instead. “I will definitely fight him to the deathto protect my chastity.”

Tobias smiled smugly. “You fool, if that happened, your survival isparamount. Don't you know your priorities?”

After changing her shoes, Skylar glanced at the house opposite.However, she didn't see any lights at all.

Thomas and Miranda must be out.

Their debate on whether to prioritize her survival or integrity continuedas they removed their shoes and entered the house. The moment theywere in, Tobias pinned her on the wall to kiss her.

Skylar pushed him away and pleaded with her eyes. “Mr. Ford, please atleast give me some time to catch my breath. I'm exhausted.”

After Tobias let her go, Skylar noticed his briefcase by the door from thecorner of her eye.

No wonder he is in such a hurry. He isn't spending the night after all. Itlooks like I'll be sleeping alone tonight.

Skylar recovered her gaze and questioned, “Do you really have toleave? It's already nine.”

Tobias stroked her chin before lifting it gently. “I still have something onat night. I've reserved the day for you, but things never go as planned.Therefore, are you still going to deny me?”

Skylar read between the lines. A satisfied man will naturally be lesspromiscuous.

She then led Tobias upstairs before taking off his clothes piece by piece.He seemed to be pleased with the “foreplay.”

Despite rushing for time, Tobias worked vigorously in bed, to the extentSkylar couldn't take it anymore. Given how well he performed, Skylarrealized that she would shamelessly crave this feeling when he wasn'taround.

Before tasting the forbidden fruit, she had never understood how aman and a woman couldn't get enough of each other.
