In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 43

Then, Tobias walked toward them before placing an arm on Skylar’s shoulder very naturally and pulling her into an embrace. “I’m not sure if I heard you clearly, but did you just say you wanted to give my girlfriend hell for the rest of her life? Don’t you think that’s a little too cruel of you, Mr. Jones?”

Skylar suddenly felt her nose tingle as an unfamiliar emotion began to build up within her.

At this moment, she felt like a wandering boat that had finally found a port where she could dock. The strangest thing was that it was this devil who made her feel this way.

Thomas was completely dumbfounded. Skylar is… Tobias Ford’s girlfriend? The Tobias Ford? Am I dreaming? Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sheldon was even more taken aback. His gaze instantly fell on Skylar. As far as I know, this is the first time he’s ever called a woman his girlfriend.

As Thomas remained in a daze, Tobias stared at him with his glacier eyes.

“I’m talking to you. Should I take silence as acceptance?”

Thomas took a deep breath and suppressed his fear. “You’ve got it wrong, Mr. Ford. I never said that.”

Skylar frowned slightly. To her, Thomas had always been a hot-tempered and heartless man who had no qualms crossing any big shot.

Yet, he was now cowering before Tobias in fear and even trembled while speaking.

Skylar grew increasingly curious. Who on earth is Tobias, and how powerful is Ford Group?

With a crease of her brows, Skylar leaned into Tobias’ arms. “I don’t want to see him anymore. Can you tell him to leave?”

Thomas’ expression took a complete turn, and he gazed at Skylar with nothing but affection. “Come home and have dinner with us sometime. I’ll prepare all your favorite dishes.”

Skylar didn’t understand how Thomas could put on an act so skillfully to the point that it was disgusting.

Not wanting to see that face any longer, she walked to the end of the hallway and opened the window to get some air. The look on her face was as though she had put on an impenetrable mask that concealed all signs of sorrow.

I won’t let anyone take me down again.

“Aren’t you going to see your mother?” Tobias placed a hand on Skylar’s waist from behind.

Skylar turned and heaved a sigh of relief upon realizing that Thomas and Irene had left.

Had Tobias not been here, that couple truly could have been able to put a halt to her mother’s treatment.

Skylar shook her head. “Thanks for getting me out of that situation. I won’t be seeing her, though. I’ve already taken a peek at her through the window, and she’s sleeping. She might get too worked up if she wakes up and sees me.”

Thanks to all of today’s events, Skylar truly felt awful.

Tobias took off his coat and draped them over her shoulders. “The wind’s really cold. If you’re not going to see her, you should head back.”

With a stagger, Sheldon leaned against the wall and pinched his thigh. Is this a dream?

He actually gave her his coat? Hell’s going to break loose if anyone at home finds out about this!

Sheldon felt sorry for Tobias. Mom’s been threatening him to marry Tanya. What’s going to happen now that he has a girlfriend?

After that, Skylar followed Tobias into the car.

But the moment they got in, the man pressed her down against the leather seat.

Tobias gazed at Skylar as she tried to open the car window. Is this guy nuts?

He’s acting like this even when the driver’s in here too!

“Didn’t I say I’d take care of this? Why did you insist on coming over yourself? Do you think I’m playing around with you?” Tobias growled as he held the woman by her jaw.

Skylar struggled relentlessly beneath him to no avail.

“She’s my mother! Why can’t I see her?” she insisted, not comprehending why Tobias was mad.

This man is way too unpredictable!
