In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 327

By then, Tobias had reached the limits of his chivalry. Lowering downthe windows, he lit a cigarette and rested his arm on the car door. Helooked out the window to show that he had no intention of sendingLina in.

Finally, Skylar offered out of courtesy, “I'll walk you in. What's there tobe afraid of anyway?"

When he saw Skylar preparing to get down, Tobias threw his cigaretteaway and drove into the compound instead.

Lina was disappointed by Tobias’ actions. If not for Skylar, he wasn'teven going to escort her in after all.

After walking Lina up, the environment reminded Skylar of beingchased out of her rented place after Meredith's death. It could not getany worse than that.

Before Lina entered her home, Skylar called out to her, “When youinvited me out for tea, did you really mean to catch up for old timessake, or was it just a pretext to see my boyfriend instead?”

Skylar never liked beating around the bush and preferred to be candid.Lina’s dubious actions had caused her to doubt her intentions. WhenTobias was driving, Lina looked at him as if she was ready to giveherself to him.

Stunned by Skylar's question, Lina covered her mouth in shock. “Skylar,what are you talking about? Since when did you become so mean?”Skylar had never expected the word “mean” to be used to describe her.All this while, she had never been feisty as the rage in her had longbeen expended by her birth family.

Skylar replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, I don’t mean anything. I'mhappy to be reunited with you again. It's just that I remembered howhappy it was during our school days. Remember, don't fall in love withsomeone you're not supposed to. Or else, you will regret it.”

Instead of taking Skylar's advice, Lina felt that she had changed intosomeone who was mean and petty.

Not wanting to intensify the awkwardness, Skylar added with a smile,“I'm just kidding. I wanted to see how you would react when I scaredyou.”

However, Lina couldn't tell which of them was real.

As Tobias grew impatient with waiting, he honked a few times. Justwhen Skylar entered the car, she suddenly noticed a bracelet on theseat. She picked it up while remembering that Lina didn't wear any.“Do you think just because you're driving a Porsche the honk won'tdisturb the residents? Tobias, since when have you lost your civility?”Skylar then flung the bracelet at his face. Tobias didn't flinch as this wasthe second time she threw something at him. At that moment, hebegan to lose his patience.

“Whose bracelet is this? It looks like an imitation given how light it isand probably isn't worth much.”

“It's your friend's. Other than that, I don’t know,” Tobias explainedcalmly.

"She wasn't wearing it. In fact, there was nothing on her wrist at all.”Skylar didn't believe it was Lina’s. Furthermore, this was the secondtime she found something belonging to a woman inside the car. Thefirst was lipstick, and then a bracelet.

“In that case, I'm equally stumped. If you really can't replace the owner, justtake it that I have a fetish for wearing female accessories.”

Tobias never liked to lie. Besides, he really didn't know who it belongedto.

Skylar warned him, “It's not that you like wearing women's things, butmore like you enjoy feeling jealous.”

“Are you planning on making me jealous? If you cheat on me, I'll breakyour legs.” Tobias finally lost his patience with Skylar's snide remarks.
