In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 488

“I heard that you resolved the matter by yourself. You’ve truly grown a lot. This is exactly how people should be, being ruthless when the situation calls for it,” Tobias complimented.

Haha, I don’t think I’ve even learned a tenth from him. He’ll probably be disappointed if he knows what paltry method I employed.

“Everyone pities me now, but this isn’t what I actually wanted. I didn’t want to play the victim, but I had no other choice,” Skylar lamented with her chin propped against a hand.

If I truly have to establish a public persona, I’d hoped to have a more positive image – a wealthy family background, a smooth-sailing life, as well as a cheerful and upbeat personality. Alas, all those had never been mine.

Chuckling, Tobias asserted, “You’ve got to work harder to change the pity to adulation, then. By the way, didn’t you miss me after having not seen me for half a month?”

Skylar had been so busy lately that she completely lost track of time. If he hadn’t said that, she actually thought that they had only seen each other a few days ago.

“Oh, has it really been that long? Times really flies,” she replied in bewilderment.

At that, Tobias’ heart sank slightly. In the past, Skylar used to send him WhatsApp messages when they didn’t see each other. Back then, he found it rather clingy at times and didn’t reply to her.

But now, he checked his cell phone every so often, yet there hadn’t been anything from her.

She had the time to change her profile photo on WhatsApp multiple times, yet she didn’t have the time to say a few words to me? What the hell?

“Was there a problem with your cell phone? Why didn’t you contact me?” he demanded indignantly.

Skylar, on the other hand, was surprised. “Wasn’t it you who told me not to keep sending you WhatsApp messages, saying that a phone call would make things much clearer? There was nothing important on my side, so I didn’t call you. Did I do something wrong?”

“Do you think you did nothing wrong?”

Hearing that, Skylar’s brows knitted together. “What did I do wrong? You were the one who told me not to message you for no reason, preferring a phone call instead. I didn’t message you since I had no reason to do so. Isn’t that just what you wanted?”
