In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 69

With her improving dramatics chops, he could imagine how much effort she must have devoted towards honing her craft around Claudia.

As Tanya watched him depart, the anguish on her face faded to nothing. Tobias was an astute one. Therefore, she was beginning to rue her decision, as now, she had to fret about where she might be able to find herself a baby.

The last line on the note she left by the side table creased between his fingers. The man was no good person, and he was not ready for their transactional relationship to end.
