In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 416

A glint of delight flashed across Tobias’ eyes. “You were so wasted and reeked of alcohol. I couldn’t do it.”

Pfft! Skylar rolled her eyes and flung his hand away.

Just as she stepped out of the car, she heard a beeping sound of the car being locked, followed by Tobias’ footsteps behind her.

Skylar was exhausted from their dalliance well into the night, hence she was reluctant to get out of the bed the next morning when she was woken up by a crying Penelope’s call.

This relationship of hers has taken a heavy toll on my well-being as well. Luckily I don’t have that many close friends. In fact, Penelope is the only one.

With one hand holding the phone, Skylar struggled to put on some clothes with the other.

Having slept naked for the whole night, Skylar feared she might have caught a cold.

She blamed Tobias for not waking her up and reminding her to put on a sleeping robe.

Still lying next to Skylar, Tobias was also awakened by the call. “Just hang up already. It’s so annoying,” he complained in a slumber.

Skylar could not make out what Penelope was trying to say in between her sobs, so she told Penelope she would meet her in an hour’s time.

Tobias pulled Skylar back into his arms. His thin lips were now inches away from her neck as he breathed into her ear, causing her heart to race uncontrollably.

Being a lady-killer, seducing women was second nature to Tobias.

Skylar had seen some of Tobias’ high school photos and felt a twinge of envy. Some people are just blessed with good looks their whole lives.

Skylar turned over so that she was facing him and rested her hand on his chest.

Tobias had been a punctual person. Since Skylar had promised to meet Penelope in an hour’s time, he was willing to tweak his working schedule in order to spend more time with her.

After skipping breakfast, Skylar wore a mask and a cap before hopping into Tobias’ car.

Tobias took a side glance at her but could not bring himself to comment that her current popularity did not warrant such extremity in masking herself.

Even inside the car, Skylar also covered herself up from top to toe.

Before long, the pair arrived at Penelope’s rental apartment. Her door was left ajar and they could clearly hear noises of an argument coming from the inside.

When they pushed open the door, they saw Brayden sitting on the sofa. The air in the apartment was filled with thick smog.

Brayden still had a cigarette in his hand while sitting with his legs crossed next to a pregnant Penelope.

“She’s pregnant with your child. Can’t you be a little more considerate?” Tobias reminded.

Upon hearing that, Brayden threw the cigarette butt into a half-full water bottle.

Brayden scoffed. “So, you called for backup,”, his tone full of condemnation.

This woman will run and complain to Skylar about every little thing like a big baby. Just my luck that Skylar is involved with Tobias.

“Come now, stop crying. I’m here,” Skylar comforted a puffy-eyed Penelope. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Agitated, Penelope pointed at Brayden and cried, “He has changed his mind and doesn’t want the baby now. He’s leaving me and our baby to our own devices after today! What do I do, Skylar? The baby is due soon!”

“Pay up,” Skylar enunciated each word slowly.
