In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 342

Hearing that, Skylar threw herself into his arms. The scent of sandalwood he used to carry had already been overpowered by the stench of alcohol.

Nothing else happened. The couple merely held each other and slept through the night.

Owing to the effects of alcohol, Tobias slept particularly soundly.

It had been a while since Skylar saw him manage without sleeping pills.

As Tobias fell asleep sooner than Skylar the night before and with his phone set to silent, Claudia was unable to reach him despite calling three times in a row.

Skylar saw them but dared not answer, as it could prove quite problematic should she let the elderly woman hear her voice on Christmas Eve.

Kai did a rather impressive job spying and had sent her some photos via WhatsApp.

The potential future daughter-in-law Claudia had her eye on was there with her alongside her own family, and it was a different woman this time.

Claudia was very concerned about her son’s marital arrangements and almost obsessive about ensuring that the candidate was one whom she approved of.

Skylar no longer bothered to keep tabs as it had become a little tiresome. She was sufficiently satisfied that Tobias stayed by her side through the night.

When Tobias heard a knocking at the door, he opened it to see Thomas with bags both large and small in hand, and Miranda in tow.

The way the door slammed shut behind these two uninvited guests drew a frown from Tobias, whose demeanor betrayed his displeasure. “Could you keep it down? Skylar’s still asleep.”

“What’s that girl still doing in bed at this time? If she’s not even going to get up to prepare breakfast, how’s she going to become somebody’s wife?”

Miranda was eager to coax any sort of assurances out of Tobias for Skylar’s sake.
