In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 123

Skylar was awed by Penelope’s guts as she was pretty sure that Tobias had never been scolded this badly before.

She’s good at making stuff up. What’s with the new boyfriend?

Penelope then returned the phone to her and laughed while she said, “If he ever harasses you again, just let me know. I will help you.”

Skylar took another mouthful of the mango pomelo sago as she lifted her head curiously. “What did he say? I could only hear you rambling.”

“Nothing much. He sounded very impatient,” Penelope said after giving it some thought.

Skylar’s heart started pounding. Deep down, she was starting to regret letting Penelope answer the call.

What had been done could not be undone. Despite that, she couldn’t help but wonder why Tobias looked for her again. Could it be that he already knew she was back in International Garden?

Not long after, Skylar’s phone rang again. Unsurprisingly, it was another call from Tobias.

Instantly, Penelope became worked up as she said furiously, “How dare he call again? Skylar, let me answer the call.”

However, Skylar stopped her from grabbing the phone as she rejected the call. “There’s no need to answer it. Just let it be. We were never meant to be together anyway. I only have myself to blame since I took this relationship seriously, even though he was clearly toying with me. I was such a buffoon.”

Penelope felt sorry for Skylar. “You had just broken up with Jeremy not long ago, and here comes another jerk who seems even worse than him. Do you want to get a reading from a fortune-teller? To find out the reason for your difficult love life.”

Skylar shook her head. As a pessimist, she was reluctant to go for fortune telling because she was afraid that she would end up getting a bad reading.
