In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 476

Skylar froze for a moment and was upset with herself for being so impulsive. She knew that even if she had asked the question, unlike other men, Tobias would not make her any promises or vow that she would be the only woman he loved.

He was still being his lofty self and had an unrelenting attitude.

The man had made himself very clear. Skylar knew that since he had already explained to her once, he had no intention to reassure her multiple times. If she kept harping on the same issue, he would just find her immature and not sensible.

Skylar suddenly laughed, hiding her true emotions. “I’m heading downstairs for dinner. I won’t be asking you any questions ever again.”

That was obviously what women would say when they were upset.

However, Tobias had already gone downstairs before Skylar, and he was behaving in an extremely cold manner towards her.

Madelyn had indeed prepared a very sumptuous meal. Yet, the atmosphere at the dining table was rather tense. No one was talking, and the only sounds that could be heard were that of the utensils clanking against each other.

“Did Valerie make things difficult for you? You can tell me if you have any problems.” Tobias finally broke the silence and took the initiative to show Skylar concern.

Even though he was not pleased with Skylar’s confrontation, he knew that she must have a reason for asking that, and he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.

Skylar poked around her food and replied placidly, “Nope, I’m fine. Our boss is really nice. I’m the one who’s being petty and making unfounded assumptions.”

It would be obvious from one’s eyes if there was love. With everything accumulated so far, Skylar looked up and met Tobias’ gaze.

However, the look in Tobias’ eyes was one that she had never encountered before. His pitch dark eyes were like an abyss, cold and complicated, without a single trace of warmth.

At that moment, Skylar was convinced that even his occasional gentleness and thoughtfulness was just him being charitable towards her.

Two days later, Skylar received a small parcel that was delivered from overseas, but she did not remember ordering anything from overseas.

After severing the adhesive tape with a pen, she saw a letter and a small box inside the parcel. As the letter was written in a foreign language, she did not understand a single word of it and merely put it aside.

When she opened the small box, she saw that it contained an obsidian bracelet that sparkled in the afternoon sun.
