In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 420

Sheldon held his cheeks with one hand, staring at his mother. “Why should I? Everything I said is true. We’re both your sons, but you’re biased towards Tobias. If, by any chance, you picked me up from the streets, let me know now! At least I would have some closure when I leave.”

Tobias just stood there quietly. His eyes were riddled with disappointment as he let out a deep sigh. “So, this is what’s bothering you. Tell me, what do you want then?”

At that moment, Skylar was lying on the sofa, exhausted. She felt that her holiday was more tiring than when she was with the filming crew. On top of that, it would be ending soon.

It felt like nothing was done, yet she still did a lot.

After Tobias left the hospital that day, Skylar had not seen him since. Thus, she took out her phone and called to appease him.

“Are you still mad?” Skylar asked. She could tell that it was unexpectedly quiet on the other side of the phone.

“I’m not. Why did you call me? Is the issue with your friend all sorted out?” There were no signs of any emotion in Tobias’ tone.

Skylar felt perplexed, knitting her brows when she heard a knock on the door. It was Tobias, raising the phone in his hand at the door.

With that, Skylar ended the call and went on to tip her toes, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I thought I won’t get to see you before I head back to work. I didn’t even get to spend time with you during this holiday.”

Tobias was silent and kissed her forehead. “I’m not in a good mood today, so stay with me for a bit and don’t say anything.”

That’s a strange request. Skylar was stunned.

“Have you gone bankrupt?” she asked.

Tobias smiled. “Maybe in my next lifetime.”

After hearing that response, Skylar had nothing more to say. She took his coat from him and headed to the kitchen to prepare some food, even though she never asked if Tobias had eaten.

When Skylar came out, she noticed that the ashtray already had three cigarette butts in it, indicating that Tobias smoked that much in such a short span of time.
