In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 9

Skylar had forgotten that Jeremy would be calling her at night.

She looked daggers at Tobias, asking him to let go.

“You’re married?” Tobias lifted her chin in a rough manner. “Did you lie to me when you said it was your first time?”

“My husband suffers from erectile dysfunction, okay? Haven’t you already checked me out?” Skylar snapped. “Let’s not forget the fact that you’ve tricked me, shall we?”

Why did I even let him in? How could I forget that he’s a beast?

The phone on the bedside table kept ringing with the word “Hubby” flashing up on the screen.

After a while, Tobias let go of Skylar, who then quickly reached for her phone and answered the call.

Jeremy could be very obsessive sometimes. He wouldn’t give up until she answered her phone.

“What’s up with you today, Skylar? Avery told me you left with a man. Who’s that man, and where are you? And what took you so long to pick up your phone?”

Jeremy bombarded her with a series of questions as soon as the call went through.

Skylar looked up at Tobias, who was standing there like a mountain.

Flustered, she waved her hand in an attempt to make him leave, but seeing that he remained rooted to the spot, she put her finger over her lips, signaling him to not make a sound.

Seeing how Skylar reacted, Tobias’ eyes darkened.

Why does it feel like we’re having a secret affair? Am I getting in the way of her conversation with her husband?

Thus, Tobias, being who he was, naturally did not listen to Skylar.

Jeremy was there shouting on the other end, thinking that the signal was bad when Tobias suddenly went in for a kiss as he cupped Skylar’s face in his hands.

At that moment, she could feel his tongue swirling inside her mouth in an explorative manner, forcing her to swallow her words.

She quickly ended the call, then raised her hand and gave Tobias a stinging slap across the face.

The slap was of such great force that her fingernails had left another deep scratch mark on his neck.

He immediately broke himself away from that kiss, the metallic scent impregnating his mouth.

“Just because I did it with you once doesn’t mean you can keep touching me,” Skylar said aggrievedly, her eyes misty. “It was a one-shot deal before, so why are you still harassing me?”

Tobias gave Skylar a deep look while touching his neck, amused by her words.

This woman is really something…

All this while, his women had always been submissive, like Skylar, during her first time.

Yet she was also the first person to defy him, and it only served to intrigue him further.

At this moment, Tobias’ phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, then switched off his phone directly.

Skylar let out a long sigh of relief, seeing that he was about to leave.

Judging from his reaction, she wondered if it was a call from his fiancée.

“I’ll look for you in a few days.”

“What for?” Skylar was stunned. “So that you can keep screwing me with a fake three million check?”

It wasn’t Tobias’ first time hearing from Skylar that the check was fake.

“I still have a little bit of money,” he said. “Besides, the check is real. I won’t let you lose it to me for nothing.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“You swear?” Skylar jumped off the bed, eager to know the truth.

“How should I prove it to you? If you’re trying to scam me, you should’ve come up with a better way.” Tobias sounded displeased.

Skylar pursed her lips at that. Guess he only sees me as a woman who would do anything for money.

It wasn’t until Tobias had left that Summer dared to come out of her room.

“Do you know who you’ve brought home, Skylar?” Summer had yet to recover from the shock.

“A beast,” Skylar slumped on the couch and muttered unhappily.

“I don’t care how you brought back Tobias Ford to my house, but he’s getting married soon. Mark my words—not every ugly duckling can turn into a swan,” Summer sneered.

He’s getting married soon? When Skylar heard what Summer said, she opened her eyes languidly. Her impression of Tobias was going down the hill.
