In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 498

Skylar was confused when she heard Tobias’ conclusion. She wondered if something was wrong with Xander because of the way she had brought his children up.

Tobias was different from the rest of his peers because he was the mainstay of the Fords. In spite of being a member of a renowned family, he was never given the chance to indulge himself.

“Contrary to popular beliefs, Tobias has it worse because of the things he needs to deal with.” All of a sudden, Skylar recalled something Claudia once told her.

She nodded in return because she had no intention to pick on others either. With that being said, she had accidentally offended Ingrid during the attempt to make a name for herself through her relationship with Harry.

As a result of the incident that had occurred, Tobias’ mind was all over the place since the morning.

Irked, he asked, “How are you related to Xander? Why has Marcus brought that up, and what does he mean by thirty thousand per night?”

After the long day she had, Skylar felt a strong urge to call it a day and have a break.

Nonetheless, Tobias glared at her, indicating she had to share everything she was conscious of with him.

As someone who had done a great job keeping her past to herself, she wouldn’t share it with Tobias if he hadn’t confronted her.

In the end, she told him everything, including the part she turned the man down without a second thought.

Tobias had faith in Skylar. He was certain she wouldn’t turn her back against him and have an affair with someone, should she be in her right mind.

She wouldn’t need that trivial amount of fortune either. Although Tobias deemed Skylar a materialistic woman, he knew she wasn’t greedy. To be precise, he thought it was a great cause to keep her motivated.

Actually, he was the reason she had been pretty materialistic – she couldn’t wait to be financially independent to prove herself.

In actual fact, she was as poor as a church mouse. A few days ago, Tobias sent someone to retrieve the statement of Skylar’s bank account and noticed she could barely make ends meet.
