In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 327

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

Finally, Skylar offered out of courtesy, “I’ll walk you in. What’s there to be afraid of anyway?”

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

Lina was disappointed by Tobias’ actions. If not for Skylar, he wasn’t even going to escort her in after all. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

After walking Lina up, the environment reminded Skylar of being chased out of her rented place after Meredith’s death. It could not get any worse than that.

Before Lina entered her home, Skylar called out to her, “When you invited me out for tea, did you really mean to catch up for old times sake, 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. When Tobias was driving, Lina looked at him as if she was ready to give herself 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 long been expended by her birth family.

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

Instead of taking Skylar’s advice, Lina felt that she had changed into someone 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 scared you.”

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

As Tobias grew impatient with waiting, he honked a few times. Just when Skylar entered the car, she suddenly noticed a bracelet on the seat. 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’t disturb the residents? Tobias, since when have you lost your civility?”

Skylar then flung the bracelet at his face. Tobias didn’t flinch as this was the second time she threw something at him. At that moment, he began to lose his patience.

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

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

“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 second time she found something belonging to a woman inside the car. The first was lipstick, and then a bracelet.

“In that case, I’m equally stumped. If you really can’t find the owner, just take it that I have a fetish for wearing female accessories.”

Tobias never liked to lie. Besides, he really didn’t know who it belonged to.

Skylar warned him, “It’s not that you like wearing women’s things, but more like you enjoy feeling jealous.”

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