In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 171

They were less than thirty centimeters apart.

When Tobias saw Skylar walking toward him, he waved her over.

Katrina did not have any intention to step aside for her.

Tobias took the croissant from Skylar and noticed that it was still warm. However, since he did not have much of an appetite, he gave it to Kai.

Skylar felt a pang in her heart when she saw that Tobias did not even appreciate the croissant she specially brought over for him.

“I have to get my makeup done soon, so I’ll leave you guys to talk.” Skylar looked intently at Tobias.

Tobias flicked his eyes toward Katrina. “Don’t you have somewhere else to be, Ms. Hudgens? It’s inconvenient for us to talk with you around.”

Katrina held her breath at Tobias’ blunt words, reluctant to leave just yet as she had barely said more than a couple of words to him.

Unfortunately, she had to swallow her discontent and leave, all while cursing silently at Skylar for her untimely appearance. She couldn’t help but speculate about the relationship between Skylar and Tobias.

She noticed that the two of them looked very close to each other. Skylar had even leaned toward Tobias subconsciously, an action that represented extreme dependence.

“Remember to visit my mom when you get back or you’ll never hear the end of it from her,” Tobias reminded Kai.

He could only hang about for a while, planning to leave with Skylar soon.

“I called Aunt Claudia just a few days ago. She said Tanya’s baby bump is already showing and it won’t be long before she gets to meet her grandchild. So aren’t you going to go home?”

Kai’s words were like needles piercing into Skylar’s heart.
