In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 343

He even sacrificed his marriage just so he could return to Miranda'sside and get the help he needed from Skylar. It seemed like he hadoverestimated Tobias’ love for Skylar.

Guess I'll have to wait a few more days before handing over the letterof intent to Tobias.

After the others had left, Skylar got up and went to the kitchen, withTobias following behind her.

Skylar had a sullen look on her face as she was washing the vegetables.Tobias closed the faucet and queried, “Are you angry with me? I onlydid it in order to avoid being threatened like this again.”

Skylar smiled and replied, “Yes, you're right. There was nothing wrongwith what you did. I'm not going to be angry over trivial matters. If Iwere that petty, I would've left you a long time ago.”

Watching as Skylar took the ingredients out of the refrigerator, Tobiaschanged the topic of the conversation. “It's just the two of us. You don'tneed to cook so much. I'll be fine with just a dish or two.”

“Penelope is also coming over to eat with us.”

Tobias shrugged his shoulders. I thought the reason she was cookingpersonally for me.

Skylar spent the whole morning cooking in the kitchen. Tobias wasoriginally assisting her but was pushed out of the kitchen after a while.Skylar was shocked to see Tobias being so meticulous in washing thevegetables. It took him more than half an hour to finish washing a stackof spinach.

Tobias’ mysophobia is getting out of hand.

It would've taken a whole day for him just to finish washing theingredients.

A while later, Tobias heard a knock on the door while he was watchingTV in the living room. He opened the door and was greeted byPenelope and Brayden

Brayden was rather surprised to see Tobias showing up on Christmasday given how strict and complicated the family rules of the Fords were.He was incredulous that Tobias would choose to spend the festive dayhere.

Could it be that Mr. Ford has become gentler and more carefree now?Skylar, who was still in her apron, walked out of the kitchen. The smileon her face disappeared when she saw Brayden.

As much as she disliked Brayden, she didn't kick him out of the housefor Penelope's sake.

Brayden lighted a cigarette in front of Penelope as he was glancing overthe interior of the house.

Hanging on the wall was a painting worth millions named “Sunflowers,”painted by Van Gogh.

This painting must be the real deal. There's no way someone as proudas Tobias would deign to buy a counterfeit.

Meanwhile, Penelope was covering her nose with her hand as thesmoke from the cigarette was making her queasy.

“She's currently pregnant with your child. How can you be so callous?”uttered Tobias.

Unperturbed, Brayden exhaled a cloud of smoke. “What's the big deal?A little smoke won't hurt anyone. My father also smoked when mymother was pregnant with me.”

Miffed, Tobias took Brayden to the balcony upstairs and let him smokethere instead.

Thus, Penelope was left alone in the living room.

“Your wife didn’t say anything about this?” Tobias looked concerned.Brayden replied, “We had an argument as I was leaving the house justnow. She wanted to know who I am going out with.”

Tobias queried, “So what do you plan to do next? It's too late for her toget an abortion now. Whether you like it or not, you're going to haveanother son. I swear, even a pig can’t produce offspring as fast as youdo.”

After hearing Tobias’ question, Brayden was stupefied.

He let out a chuckle before answering, “What more can I do? I can'texactly divorce my current wife and marry her. It was her own choice toget pregnant. I didn't force it upon her.”
