In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 183

“I’m thinking of visiting my mother. Do you know if she’s well enough to see me?” Skylar had dreamt about her childhood several times already.

She was still not mentally prepared to face it.

“Don’t go just yet. I’ll ask the doctor tomorrow and arrange a suitable time for both of you to meet.”

Skylar suddenly realized that Tobias did not keep track of her mother’s condition, so he was in the dark just as much as she was.

They were not related to each other whatsoever, so Tobias was not obligated to care for her.

Skylar watched Tobias’ tall and straight back as he walked away and retrieved her gaze only after a long time.

As usual, Tobias walked in long strides, picking up the pace as he went.

Meanwhile, Skylar shuffled back tiredly with an odd gait.

Last night had completely drained her. She resembled a rag doll during the entire process, allowing Tobias to do whatever he pleased with her body.

She threw on a simple outfit and went out to meet Penelope who was waiting at a nearby café.

When Skylar arrived, she saw Penelope wiping her tears away with a piece of tissue. Then, her gaze landed on the table which was littered with balled-up tissue papers.

Skylar could only imagine how long her friend had been crying.

“Babe, you’re finally back. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?” Penelope seemed to have her hands full as she cried and wiped her snotty nose, all the while not forgetting to drink her hot chocolate.

Skylar raised her hand to call for the waiter and ordered a cup of lemon tea. She decided not to have any caffeinated beverages lest she struggled to sleep at night.
