In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 20

It was because Jeremy had needed someone to look after him, and Skylar had stayed at his place for a few days.

Skylar was still pretending to be asleep while keeping her cool. Heck, she even changed her posture just to make it seem convincing.

“She can’t hear you, Jeremy. She’s sleeping.” He spoke into the phone.

“Who are you? Why are you answering my girlfriend’s phone?” Jeremy said with a strained voice.

Tobias’ lips quirked up. “Stop calling her at this hour. You’re disrupting our sleep,” he said. Hanging up the phone, he then threw it right in Skylar’s face, hitting her right at the bridge of her nose. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ow! You b*stard, I won’t let you get away with this!

Skylar sat up with a groan, rubbing her nose.

“Even if your hand slipped, do you have to smash the phone right on the bridge of my nose?” she gave him a death stare.

Highly amused, Tobias quirked an eyebrow at Skylar.

Looking at her fair and baby-like soft skin, he had to admit that she was beautiful.

But her gaze was piercing like thousand sharp knives at him.

“I did that on purpose!”

Ugh, I should have added “no violence” into the contract. Skylar lay sprawling on the bed. “You might as well just kill me now. I’m done with this life.”

Indeed, Skylar didn’t know what was the meaning of her life now.

Not long ago, she was still dreaming about settling down with Jeremy and giving birth to his child.

Now that everything had turned into dust, all her hopes had been destroyed.

“Are you sure?” Tobias put on a contemptuous look on his face. “Then why are you here?”

He sat on the side of the bed and closed the distance between them. Skylar squirmed back.

Tobias reached out, draped an arm over her shoulders, and pulled her into his embrace. The damned white sandalwood cologne reminded her of that night at the operating room.

“It’s not a good day for me. But it’s up to you if you want to force yourself on me. I heard it’s bad luck to do that with a woman who’s having her period.”

Skylar was still hoping that Tobias would give her a break tonight.

In spite of that, he snuggled his head onto her shoulder, breathing into her neck. “So what?”

Feeling a chill traveling down her spine, Skylar swallowed a lump in her throat and emphasized, “It’s the second day today, and I’m warning you–it’s pretty heavy.”

She glanced up at the clock on the wall. It was already three in the morning.

What the heck! Why are we even discussing this at this hour?

“How long more are you going to keep this up?” Tobias grabbed her wrist, looking impatient. “Is it so hard to comply with me? Don’t you wanna do it again after that day?”

Frankly speaking, Skylar didn’t want to relive that alien sensation from that night at all. However, she dared not shake her head lest she offended Tobias, so she nodded.

He looked at Skylar, who was scared silly in amusement.

Look at her, all tensed up. Tsk-tsk, you have so much to learn, little girl.

Tobias didn’t really mean business when he said that. The red blotches on the sheet had proven that Skylar wasn’t lying.

He relaxed his grip on her hand, and only then did Skylar sigh in relief, having avoided a catastrophe.
