In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 460

Not long after that, Tobias took her away.

Before they reached the door, Claudia’s housekeeper, Patricia, rushed toward them with a lunch box in her hand. “Mrs. Ford asked both of you to take this back for dinner tonight.”

Skylar took the lunch box in both hands. I wonder why Claudia gave this to us. Is she simply giving her son food? Or is this an olive branch to me? Only in the presence of another’s failure can I truly stand out. I don’t feel sorry it was Winnie.

In the car, Tobias had his eyes fixed on the road ahead quietly, his jaw clenched. His side profile was stoic, yet handsome.

Skylar could no longer stand the suffocating silence between them. “Why are you so quiet?”

Sighing, he turned to her in displeasure. “What do you want me to say? You were the one who did that, weren’t you? You did that simply to make yourself look better than Winnie. Am I right? I never knew you’re such a conniving person.”

His words were like daggers in her heart. She pursed her lips and replied, “Are you feeling aggrieved on her behalf? Or are you just trying to express your shock at discovering that I’m a wicked woman? Aren’t you the one who encourages me to be cruel to others?”

“Oh, should I give you a gift for being so obedient?” He let out a scoff. “Why did you do that? Is it because you want to please my mother?”

She could not help but laugh wryly at the word ‘please.’ Of course. He always looks down on me.

Fed up with the argument, she crossed her arms and leaned back against the seat. “Whatever you say. After all, I was the one who did it.”

Tobias’ eyes dimmed in disappointment. She suddenly feels like a stranger to me. She used to be as innocent as a lamb, but now, it’s as if she’s turned into a serpent.

All of a sudden, he stopped his car. Skylar looked at him, baffled. “What are you doing? Are you going to chase me out of the car and leave me by the roadside in the middle of the night? Guys who do that are straight-up trash.”

He glanced at her sideways and curled his lips mercilessly. “Don’t you know that I’m ruthless? It’s just that I’ve always been kind to you.”
