In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 47

Years ago, Claudia’s own husband had abandoned her and her two children for another woman.

Yet, she had never expected that her son would behave the same way.

Claudia huffed disdainfully. “I just met the girl, and I’ve told her everything I needed to tell her. She looks exactly like a vixen.”

“I’m worried that she won’t listen even after you’ve talked to her. She might still cling to Tobias, threatening to rob me of all my happiness.”

Claudia’s heart skipped a beat. “How horrid could this girl be? You’re too kind, Tanya. But with me around, no one will get to walk all over you.”

Upon hearing what Claudia said, Tanya smiled to herself knowingly. She had recently found that Tobias had been especially close to the younger woman.

Instead of coming home at night, he would sleep over at International Garden.

Of course, there was no way Tanya could accept this, but now wasn’t the time to strike personally yet.

Thankfully, she had the backing of this “foolish granny” who would always take a bullet for her.

Tanya gazed out the window insidiously as the thought of Tobias having flings with another woman crossed her mind.

How she wished to tear that woman’s face into shreds. She had never felt this much wrath in her lifetime.

Back then, Tanya had drugged Claudia, causing the latter to have a heart attack. But thanks to Tanya’s splendid acting, she was now being regarded as Claudia’s savior.

Just when I thought I’d finally get to marry Tobias, this other woman gets in my way.

At that moment, Jeremy had returned the two million sum to the account Tobias provided.

Tobias then opened a new account under Skylar’s name and transferred all of the money inside, although now was not the time to give it to her.

He subconsciously glanced at his phone.

This young woman, Skylar, was quite an obedient one. She would never voluntarily contact him unless she needed to ask for something.

Tobias tapped on his phone rhythmically with his slender fingers, seemingly deep in thought.

The man was increasingly beginning to feel off. All this while, he had his life under control, but Skylar seemed to have disrupted it.

After Claudia left, Skylar immediately took a cab to campus and gathered among the other students.

They were about to head to the beach for a trip, and there would also be a bonfire party at night.

This was Skylar’s first time taking part in her campus’ co-curricular activities apart from sports day previously.

It wasn’t that she didn’t like socializing with others; she just couldn’t bear to use the retirement money her grandmother had given her for such pleasures.

The rented bus had long arrived at the school entrance. Skylar kept her head down on her phone, waiting to board the vehicle.

She was about to embark on a three-day trip, which meant she didn’t have to see Tobias for the next three days. Yet, the disappointment she felt made her wonder if she had gone insane.

Suddenly, the crowd began to rave about Avery’s Mercedes-Benz motorhome.

A motorhome like that would cost at least several million.

Under everyone’s envious gazes, Avery entered her personal vehicle.

She wasn’t used to taking a bus, so the lecturers actually made an exception for her.

After all, Thomas had invested huge amounts in the campus. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Come take the motorhome too, Skylar,” Thomas said amicably after spotting Skylar in the crowd.

What’s with that expression and attitude? Is he really the same man who kicked me out years ago?

Avery turned glum. “Dad! Why are you inviting Skylar? There’s not enough room for her.”

While speaking, she hastily glanced around, afraid of anyone finding out how she and Skylar were related.

Yet, Thomas had already placed a hand on Skylar’s shoulder.

Despite being her father, the man had never treated her so affectionately.

Skylar smiled skeptically. “It’s fine. I don’t want to dirty your motorhome and end up having to pay for it.”

Avery turned and boarded the luxury vehicle, silently furious at Thomas.

She had no idea why her father would ask Skylar to join them in the same car.
