In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 572

Tobias gave a confused look. “Who says that a man cannot sleep on a single bed? The home’s just a place for sleeping. It does not look like I need to do anything on it.”

Skylar raised a brow at him. “That sounds so sad. Do you not feel any love in this house?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Tobias pondered for a while. No, I don’t. Long before he and his brother turned ten, Claudia had been busy working all the time. And now, he was the one who seldom left his work.

“Stop complaining. Just make do with it. If you don’t like it, I can sleep in the guest room. There’re plenty of rooms in this house, and you can choose the one you like.”

Upon hearing that, Skylar shook her head firmly. She refused to step out of his room as she worried that she might run into Claudia.

She scanned the room, and her eyes locked on the enormous bookshelf at one side of the wall. She stood on her tiptoes and randomly reached for an old photo album on the upper shelf.

“Can I have a look?” Skylar asked for permission from the owner.

Tobias could hardly remember what was in the album. “Suit yourself. I’m yours anyway, so is everything in this room.

Skylar’s face blushed upon hearing that, as it was rare for Tobias to say something so romantic.

However, a second after Skylar opened the album, her curiosity seemed to vanish. She shut the album right away and threw it on the table.

Confused, Tobias walked over and picked it up to look inside. After a few pages, he realized a photo of him and Idania at the tennis court.

Idania was dressed in a white polo shirt and a pink cap, while Tobias’s hand was placed around her waist.

Idania’s smile was indeed warm and pure, just like the first sunlight in the spring.

Skylar observed Tobias’ expression closely while his eyes were staring at that particular photo for almost a full minute.

At that moment, Skylar’s heart was filled with expletives, while a string of curses flew past her mind.

“Are you done? It was such a good memory, wasn’t it?” Skylar uttered coldly.

Not responding to her question, Tobias took out the only photo of his and Idania from the album.

Looking at his action, Skylar felt as though a thousand needles were stabbing through her heart.

She spoke in despair. “Tobias, can you stop treating me like this? Why’re you taking out that photo? Do you want to put it someplace you can see? Look at me. I’m not dead yet, okay?”

Staring at Skylar’s jealous expression, Tobias started tearing the photo into pieces and then threw it into the trash can.

“Stop overreacting, would you? I’m not particularly eager to keep the memory in the past. Are you happy now?”

However, Skylar was far from satisfied. It was not the photo that mattered to her, but the fact that Tobias had brought Idania to play tennis.

Compared to that, most of the time she spent with Tobias was in bed. Tobias had brought her to the golf club once, but she ended up picking the ball most of the time. And it could hardly be considered a date, as Tobias was talking business with someone else.

Trying to clear her thoughts, Skylar walked over to the bed and sneezed on the bedsheet. To her amazement, it was the scent of white sandalwood, without a smell of man’s sweat.

Skylar could not comprehend why Tobias was so into this kind of perfume. The scent reminded her of the smell of incense.

The one-meter-half bed was too small for the two of them. Skylar’s sleeping posture was poor, either with her thighs resting heavily on Tobias’ stomach or accidentally slapping him in the face.

For a moment, Tobias even suspected she was pretending to sleep but grabbing the opportunity to beat him.

At that point, Skylar was hugging his head like a pillow. She looked highly seductive wearing his shirt, as he could smell her body scent through the thin cloth.
