In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 551

Tobias caught it in the air and frowned as well when he saw Idania’s texts. He knew how hard life had been for her ever since her parents died. To make matters worse, she had no friends to depend on and could practically die alone at home and no one would know.

However, her actions had caused him a lot of problems indirectly, especially after Skylar saw her messages as he had no idea how he could explain it to Idania either.

Skylar glared coldly at Tobias with a sarcastic smile as she asked, “Well? Aren’t you going to give me an explanation? I don’t quite like being lied to, as you know. Since when you got so close with your ex- girlfriend, hmm?”

Tobias didn’t like being accused of lying and said calmly, “You’re overreacting. She’s been having some problems with her health lately, so she needs my help with stuff. I’m only helping her out of respect for our previous relationship. That’s all.”

Skylar tried her best to be big-hearted and understanding about it but still found herself feeling disgusted no matter what.

“I don’t like you being in contact with her. We’re not living in the past where men could have a few wives, so leave me if you still have feelings for each other,” she said with her back facing Tobias while lying down in bed.

Tobias couldn’t help but find her statement a little ridiculous. Skylar was the pessimistic type who would overthink and jump to the worst possible conclusions whenever she got emotional.

He then sat down beside her on the bed and whispered into her ear, “I know. Don’t worry. I haven’t done anything that would count as cheating on you.”

Tobias sure knows how to pick his words! I can’t believe how casual he is making this all sound!

Skylar could barely sleep at all that night. Her repeated tossing and turning got so intense that even Tobias who was fast asleep frowned and put his arm around her.

Eventually, Skylar decided to take his phone while he was still sleeping and deal with Idania’s messages herself as she knew Idania wouldn’t stop texting him until he replied.

With a cold look in her eyes, Skylar skimmed through all of her messages and saw that the last one came in at half past three in the morning.

She had thought about replying her for him, but figured she was probably asleep by then.

Skylar heated up the leftover snacks from last night for breakfast in the microwave and made herself a hot cup of coffee to go with it. At that point, having some hot food in her tummy was her only source of comfort.

Tobias was dressed in a navy-blue suit and a white dress shirt with the first button undone, exuding an icy-cold aura wherever he went.

Skylar called out to him when he was at the front door and held her hand out as she said, “Give me your phone. Some people do not belong in your WhatsApp contacts, and I’m going to clear them out for you.”

She had been up all night thinking about it and felt she was being too lenient with Tobias.

To her, staying in contact with one’s ex was a bad idea, regardless of the reason.

Tobias shot her a cold glare and said, “Quit messing around, will you? Do you not trust me at all?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
