In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 378

Skylar took a sip of coffee, for she was desperately in need of someenergy right then. She was in a terrible mood, was hungry, and evenhad a headache.

“What's she jealous about? She's in her thirties and has already goteverything she wants. There's nothing about me that she'd be jealousof.”

However, as an experienced person, Kate had already seen througheverything. She got straight to the point and asked, “What do you thinkValerie lacks right now?”

Skylar pondered and replied, “A man?”

Kate then patted her on the thigh in acknowledgment. “She's jealous ofTobias’ kindness to you. She's been beside him for so many years anddefinitely has some feelings for him. For a man like Tobias, you'd behooked even if you only saw him once, much less if you've been by hisside for so long.”

In reality, Skylar had never considered such a thing before and hadnever thought that Valerie's single status for so many years hadanything to do with Tobias.

Isn't that stupid? She wasted most of her youth waiting for someonebut still ended up lonely?

That day, after she left the company, Skylar immediately got a taxihome. If it were the past, she would have taken the subway instead.However, more and more people were starting to recognize her. Thelast time she took the subway, someone had taken a photo of her andposted it online. In the comments, some had said that she was puttingup a front.

Moreover, others also said that she had no morals and wanted todisrupt public order.

Skylar was speechless about such keyboard warriors.

Since when had my popularity gotten to that extent?

When she eventually arrived outside her house, she noticed that thelights were switched on inside. Tobias didn't say he'd be over tonight.She then entered her password and opened the door only to see Tobiasreading in the living room. As soon as he saw her, he put the bookdown on the coffee table.

There were also many yellow-colored containers atop the coffee table.“You didn't text that you'd be over today,” she said as she bent over totake off her stiletto heels.

She had no idea why such international big-name high heels were soexpensive. They rubbed against the feet and were uncomfortable,clearly not caring for the user's comfort at all.

“I suddenly decided to come and see you.”

Moving over to the sofa, she then sat down and glanced at the book hewas reading. It was neither a book about success nor was it a self-helpbook.

The title read: War and Peace. As soon as Skylar noticed the title, shelost interest, for she did not read such literary masterpieces. At the agewhen she loved to read, she mostly read romance novels.

Of the books she read, Sense & Sensibility was one that left a largerimpression on her. Back then, she envied Marianne Dashwood a lotbecause she met John Willoughby. He was attractive and was the manof all women’s dreams.

However, once she grew up, Skylar came to realize how distorted herviews were back then. As a result, she later came to dislike John andinstead supported Colonel Brandon.

Noticing that she seemed to be absent-minded, Tobias asked, “Why?Am I not welcome? If I'm not, I can leave.”

Only upon hearing his question did she snap back to reality. She smiledand replied, “It's all written on my face. You're very welcome here.”

He then pointed at the several glass containers on the table. “My chefmade a few dishes tonight that were quite good, so I got them to makeanother serving for you. Just heat it in the microwave, and you can eatit”

In reality, such details made her touched, even more so than receivingdiamond necklaces did.

After all, it showed that he had thought of her. However, he hadforgotten what she previously said. She did not eat after six o'clock.

For some reason, Tobias often neglected a lot of her words.

Yet, to prevent him from thinking that she was putting up a front, shetook the containers and headed into the kitchen to warm the dishes up.From the living room, he said, “There's some spaghetti in the pot. It'salready cooked. Just heat the other dishes.”

Skylar then stuck out from behind the wall and replied, “I just got homeand haven't even had time to take a breath. Why can't you help mewarm them up?”
