In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 266

Skylar’s hand trembled a little. Immediately, Tobias let out a hiss of pain. She ran to get a few pieces of tissues to staunch the flow of blood.

There was a cut on the right side of his face. Although it was a relatively small wound, it was visible to the naked eye.

She had ruined his face!

However, Tobias didn’t seem to mind, even as Skylar apologized repeatedly to him. She was careless and jumpy by nature, so it was a risk he had to take.

In a lazy drawl, he said, “I’ll be returning home very late tonight. My mother asked me to stop by for a while. Do you want to come with me?”

As soon as he mentioned Claudia, Skylar felt overwhelmed with dread again. She had developed a sort of trauma towards that woman. If Claudia saw her again, she might collapse from anger, and her old illness might relapse.

“Are you sure your mother is well enough to handle the shock of seeing me?”

Tobias fell silent as he pondered over her question. Eventually, he decided not to extend the invitation to her again. Indeed, his mother flared up whenever she laid her eyes on Skylar.

Her anger when she saw Skylar was no less than her fury when the topic of her disloyal scumbag of a husband was brought up.

Tobias hugged Skylar and bit down lightly on her earlobe. “You must regret being with me.”

This was the first time he had said anything like that to her. Skylar smiled. “I don’t mind—I’m not a Hollywood starlet or anything. But I believe I’ll get there soon! One day, I’ll become a household name because of my looks and gain some influence in the industry.”

Skylar was pretty, and she knew it. Since she had the looks, she might as well flaunt it to her advantage.

Tobias pressed a kiss to her forehead and said, “Yes, you are beautiful. I’m going to die in your hands one day, you cunning vixen!”

“You overestimate me,” Skylar retorted, her lips curling into a smile. “My fragile little body is going to break under your rough ministrations one day.”

Something flashed in his eyes as he realized that there was some truth in her words. Indeed, he could be rough with her in bed sometimes.
