In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 504

Skylar showed him the member card she had acquired a few minutesago and said, “Thanks, but I can at least afford a meal. Allow me to turndown the offer since you have finished your meal.”

Out of the blue, Tobias asserted in a serious manner, “Are you sure youhaven't misperceived my words? She had paid me a visit for a formaldiscussion regarding a proposal. In other words, she was here to pitchher idea instead of the things you had in mind.”

“Mr. Ford, would you meet others in person? Haven't you always sentyour subordinates to deal with prospects? Are you telling me you havealways been such an enthusiastic and easygoing man?” Skylar repliedwith her lips twitching.

Tobias was irked by the things Skylar mentioned and thoughtsomething had gotten into her mind.

Indeed, I have agreed to meet her in person because she’s my ex, butthe things Skylar has in mind have never crossed mine!

Once Skylar placed her order, Tobias took a seat opposite her to keepher company.

She said, “If you're serious about our relationship, aren't you supposedto act like my better half? I know you dislike being nagged the most,but you need to stop picking on me.”

The man opposite her nodded in return.

A few minutes later, he said, “You should be grateful I have stoppedpicking on you.”

She placed her cutlery aside and stopped savoring her meal becauseshe wasn't in the mood to eat anymore.

“Why? To begin with, we're never equal. I have no choice but to listento you because you're always the dominant one in our relationship.Unsure if you're going to dump me in the near future, the thought ofbreaking up and getting into a relationship with an ordinary mancrosses my mind. At least an ordinary man will apologize instead ofbehaving like I'm the one at fault.”

Tobias accidentally shattered the cup he held into pieces when he heardSkylar's reply. Consequently, his palm started bleeding.

She rushed over and grasped his wrist, trying her best to stop him frombleeding with a napkin.

“Have you lost your mind? Aren’t you aware of the consequences ofyour action when you're an adult? How could you hurt yourself?”

It was a serious cut, but Tobias didn’t even flinch. He said, “I guessyou're serious about the part you're no longer the same. You canalways tell me when you're ready to leave because I won't try to stopyou as well."

Skylar pinched his wound with all her might when she heard him.

She regretted worrying about him because his reply had rendered hercompletely speechless.

When she was about to tell him she had no intention to leave just yet,he got ahead of her and asked with a frown, “Can you move away fromme? Are you trying to get your revenge by hurting me?”

He was irked because she wouldn't stop pinching his wound.

After that, she suggested rushing him to the hospital and completelyforgot the initial reason she was there.

However, he rinsed his wound and said, “You need to stop making afuss out of everything because it's not a big deal.”

His response piqued her curiosity and made her wondered if histolerance level had something to do with his upbringing. When Jeremyaccidentally cut himself back in the day, he would shriek in pain asthough it was a serious injury.

However, Tobias didn't even flinch when it was a deep cut.

At the end of the session, Skylar returned him the member card sincehe was the rightful owner. On top of that, she was never a fan of thatparticular type of cuisine. She had no intention to hang out around thearea of Tobias’ company either.

Once she returned home, Skylar retrieved the first-aid kit and startedsearching for the gauze to bandage the wound

Standing behind her, Tobias said, “I think it'll be completely healed bythe time you replace it. How many times have I told you to keep the itemsin the first-aid kit organized?”

She started complaining, “Stop exaggerating things! I'll go get oneimmediately! We need to keep it bandaged to stop it from beinginfected!”

Suddenly, he held her wrist and said, “Just keep me company for ashort while.”
