In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 354

Skylar then decided to keep the door open as she didn’t want to riskhaving journalists snooping around getting questionable pictures ofthem.

With all the rumors surrounding them, she couldn't afford to havepeople going around saying he visited her in her hotel room.

Kai then retrieved two wine glasses and poured them both some redwine. “My goodness, you should see how haggard you look right now! Iknew you wouldn't be happy dating Tobias!"

Skylar shot him a cold glare. “You seem to have some serious problemswith him. You two have a grudge against each other or something?”“Tobias is not a good guy, okay? My instincts are telling me that youshould stay away from him if you know what's good for you. There'splenty of fish in the sea, so why waste your time on him?” Kai scowledwith a disdainful look on his face.

“I've never expected anything to happen between us. He doesn't careabout getting married, and neither do I,” Skylar replied.

She was playing it off way too casually, and Kai knew she wasn't thetype to fool around like that.

“Looks like you don't know Tobias at all! I remember him bringing awoman home and claiming he wants to marry her, but that was a reallylong time ago. You were probably still in school at the time.”

Skylar tensed up for a brief moment but was quick to regain hercomposure. “Are you kidding me? If so, that was not funny at all.”

It was then that Kai realized Skylar was like any other ordinary girl whodreamed of getting married and having a family with the man theyloved. The only thing that set her apart from those girls was herbeautiful appearance, but that was all there was to it.

“If I recall correctly, her name is Idania Garland... Yes, that's her all right.She was the only woman Tobias brought home to meet his family. Iheard he even got into a fight with his mother over her. I'm not surewhat happened in the end, but rumor has it that Idania decided toleave on her own accord. It's obvious that Tobias doesn't love you forwho you are, but because you and Idania look very similar to eachother.”

Skylar thought back to the time when she had gone to see Tobias theother day.

His friend had asked him if she looked like her, and Tobias had said no.She found herself filled with both curiosity and envy towards thewoman named Idania. What kind of woman is she? Why would Tobiaswant to marry her willingly when he wouldn't even let me stayanywhere that was within a few minutes’ drive from his family home? Ithought I knew him like the back of my hand... I was under theassumption that he cared about nothing but his career, and that all Ihad to do was satisfy his needs in bed... Well, guess I was wrong...

“I am my own person, not some replacement,” Skylar stated calmly afterdowning her entire glass of wine in one go.

Kai let out a chuckle. “I sure hope so!"

He stayed around for about another half an hour before leavingawkwardly when he saw how depressed she looked.

Skylar finished the entire bottle of wine he had left behind that night.She then took the first flight home the next morning with a severehangover.

Upon arrival at the airport, she donned a face mask and baseball capbefore making her way towards customs.

Even with that disguise, some of her more hardcore fans who had cometo see her off were able to recognize her and gave her bouquets. Hermain objective was to avoid being seen by her fans, and it would bereally difficult if she walked around with those flowers in hand.

“You can throw them away if you have to. There's a trash can overthere,” Hannah suggested.

Skylar took a good look at the flowers that were blooming brightly anddecided to keep them. They were the first flowers she had ever receivedfrom anyone, after all.

She was stopped by a few burly men dressed in black the moment shegot off the plane. They all had stern looks on their faces, and Skylarwould've thought they were sent by the FBI to arrest her if it weren't forthe fact that she hadn't done anything illegal.

“Are you guys from airport security?” she asked with an eyebrow raised.One of the men replied rudely, “Our boss wants you to go see her.Come with us!”
