In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 145

Skylar could only see Jeremy’s mouth moving. Still not satisfied, she adjusted her music volume to its maximum.

The two of them ignored each other for more than ten hours on the train. The sky had turned dark outside the windows, and the train coach was filled with varying kinds of aroma. The man sitting across the aisle was slurping on some instant noodles. Not far away, someone was drinking and talking so loudly that the other passengers found it hard to sleep.

Skylar took out her phone to check the time. It was already three in the morning. Since she boarded the train, she hadn’t heard from Tobias. Yet, she could still feel the ghost of his kiss on her lips from yesterday.

Upon checking his WhatsApp status, she found that he was online, which meant that he simply did not want to contact her. Moreover, he even had time to change his profile picture but didn’t ask her about her journey.

Instantly, she felt a pang of disappointment, like a girl in love for the first time, eagerly waiting for her boyfriend to contact her. He was constantly on her mind even when she was asleep, and every time she opened her eyes, she hoped to see a message from him.

Skylar zoomed in on Tobias’ new profile picture. His previous one only had a blank background, but now, it was replaced by a landscape photo. No matter how much Skylar studied it, she couldn’t tell where it was taken.

Seeing that Tobias’ WhatsApp status remained the same, she put her phone aside.

Just then, Jeremy finished a game of Mobile Legends. When he noticed the downcast look on her face as she stared at her phone, he came down from the top bunk and said with a sneer, “Whose text are you waiting for? Surely not Tobias’? Look at you, still so attached after getting dumped. Well, I don’t blame you. After all, women love getting in over their heads. You really are pitiful though, thinking you could marry into a rich family. Well, stop dreaming. How could Tobias Ford ever fall for you?”

Every word Jeremy uttered was like a stab to Skylar’s heart. Nevertheless, she kept her expression impassive and picked up her phone again, slanting her head as she tapped on her phone, seemingly chatting with someone.

When Jeremy was talking, she didn’t lift her head once to look at him as she couldn’t be bothered to converse with him.
