In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 180

“This is none of your business. I don’t need anyone’s approval to be with who I want to be with.”

Tobias glanced downstairs, watching the people coming and going in the hotel lobby.

Tanya stared at Tobias and noticed a storm brewing behind his calm exterior. Thinking about how close she was to marrying Tobias, her resentment toward Skylar intensified.

After the birthday celebration, Tobias and Claudia left in the same car.

Neither of them said anything. Claudia still could not bring herself to forgive Tobias.

When they were about to arrive home, Claudia finally spoke, “Move back tonight. Tanya’s belly is getting bigger and she needs someone to take care of her at night.”

Tobias replied coldly, “The child isn’t mine, so what’s there for me to take care of?”

“You’re such a b*stard, Tobias. Tanya isn’t so bold. She’s a kind and capable woman. She is what every man should look for in a woman. I’m certain she’s the perfect one for you…”

Tobias could not help but feel that Claudia was underestimating Tanya. She had no idea how pretentious Tanya could be, always playing the victim to garner sympathy from her.

“I didn’t plan to bring this up since it’s your birthday today, but I’m in love. Tanya’s life has nothing to do with me. If you like her so much, you can keep her by your side for all I care but don’t expect me to compromise.”

Having said this, Tobias felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He had to give Skylar a sense of security instead of making her feel like he was stringing her along.

Experiencing some breathing difficulty, Claudia clutched her chest with a grimace on her face. “Are you trying to piss me off until I’m dead on my birthday?”

Tobias looked back at Claudia just then. The atmosphere in the car was tense, so he did not continue speaking lest he angered her even more.

After sending Claudia home, Tobias finally had time to return Skylar’s call, but no one answered on the other end.

Sheldon trailed after Tobias and said unhappily, “Mom used to call me a useless and immature brat, but now you’re the one pissing her off the most, and all because of a woman.”

Faced with his brother’s accusation, Tobias replied in a calm voice, “I’ve been living for the two of you for a long time. For once, I decided to live for myself. I’m done playing and it’s time that I settle down.”

Worried that Claudia would use him as her punching bag, Sheldon complained, “I don’t know what the hell is going on with you two. All I know is that I’m in a tough spot and I have to protect myself. Can I crash at your place tonight?”
