In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 71

To be in a relationship with a married man wasn’t something that felt natural to her.

Meanwhile, she noticed that many people were staring at Tobias.

Although the film academy did not lack handsome guys and pretty ladies, Tobias’ looks could easily put many guys to shame.

He plainly replied, “Against your conscience? Why do you say that? We’re not harming anyone by being together. Besides, I kind of like you too.”

Skylar ignored Tobias’ first confession in his entire life.

She put down her fork and asserted in a low voice, “I don’t want to be involved in your marriage. Furthermore, you are going to be a father soon. I hope I have made it clear enough.”

Tobias realized then that Skylar had believed what Tanya said. The latter had told Skylar he was going to marry her because she was pregnant.

With his arms folded, he stared at Skylar’s pained expression quietly.

“Give me some time to deal with all these problems and provide you with an explanation. Whatever happened that day will not be repeated.”

You’re rich and powerful, so you can afford to do whatever you please. However, I’m not the same. I want to return to living an ordinary life. You don’t have to explain yourself to me. Just go home and explain it to your wife.”

Tobias’ expression darkened. “That’s not what was written in the contract. Have you forgotten who gave you everything you have now? Leaving me is not going to be as easy as returning a card or a necklace.”

As if Tobias were strangling her again, Skylar felt like she could hardly breathe.

“At most, I’ll stop studying. It doesn’t matter if you condemn me or even sue me for breaking the contract.”

Skylar’s destructive attitude infuriated Tobias further.

When she saw Tobias had nothing further to say, Skylar left with her food. She didn’t even touch the steak he bought her.

Tobias stared at the steak that was already cold. She didn’t even notice I’ve prepared this for her on purpose…
