In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 170

Skylar’s eyes followed Tobias as he entered Kai’s motorhome that was brought to the film set not too long ago.

The other day, Kai was excited when he texted her to tell her about the motorhome. He said she could take a shower in his motorhome whenever she wanted.

Meanwhile, inside the motorhome, Kai’s face clouded over the moment he saw Tobias. “Tobias, aren’t you getting married soon? I didn’t think that you would still have the time to play with the girl’s feelings.”

Tobias furrowed his brows at the accusation. “Why do you think that I’m playing with her feelings?”

“I’ve never seen you spend so much time and effort on a woman before. Why must it be Skylar? Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to be with her?” Feeling disappointed, Kai looked away from his cousin, casting his gaze outside the car window. After he left the hotel, he calmed down and thought about Skylar’s relationship with Tobias. Skylar was too young, and she was vulnerable to Tobias’s advances, which explained why she still chose to be with Tobias even though he was engaged.

Tobias’s face darkened upon hearing his words. “Are you trying to say that the two of you are a perfect match then? Could it be that my dear cousin is interested in my woman?”

Kai’s heart skipped a beat, but he admitted nevertheless. “Yes. I like her. Besides, I can take good care of her, but you can’t.” There was a hint of certainty in his voice.

Tobias couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. It looked like he had underestimated Skylar’s charisma.

Apart from her sickly ex-boyfriend and that other guy who insisted on marrying her, now, even Kai was openly admitting that he liked her as if he were bewitched.

To Tobias, all of them were still wet behind the ears to be considered as a match. He never thought one day he would need to compete with them.

His face grew grim upon hearing Kai’s confession. “It doesn’t matter, she is now my girlfriend. I don’t care if you like her, but you should keep it to yourself.”

“Do you think Aunt Claudia would accept her as your future wife? It’s impossible of her to acknowledge your marriage with Skylar.” Kai spoke up, pointing out the biggest obstacle that Tobias would need to overcome.

Smiling faintly, Tobias uttered, “This is none of your business. You should focus on your acting career instead of meddling in other’s affairs.”

Kai had always been an immature person in Tobias’s eyes. Kai knew his cousin was implicitly warning him to stay away from Skylar. However, he had no control over his own feelings.

Right then, their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. The feeling of disgust surged within him when he opened the door to find Katrina.

Even though he knew she was here for Tobias, he was unwilling to let her in his motorhome.

“Hello, Mr. Ford. Do you still remember me? My name is Katrina.”

Tobias remembered hearing her name from Skylar, but he was not personally acquainted with her. “No, and I don’t know you.”

Kai chimed in to remind him about his scandal. “Tobias, didn’t the two of you spend the night together in the hotel? The paparazzi even took your photo.”

Feeling slightly guilty, Katrina lowered her head at his blunt statement. She wanted to sleep with Tobias, but sadly she hadn’t had the opportunity.

Tobias suddenly recalled that there had been several times Skylar alluding to him, asking if he was here only to have sex with her. It turned out she was misled by the fake scandal as well.

He curled his lips into a meaningful smile. “Oh really? But I don’t remember at all.”

Katrina looked up in an instant. “That was just a misunderstanding. I only met Mr. Ford once.”

Hearing that, Kai huffed, “Then why were you asking for his contact number? And you even said you accidentally left your belongings at his. Were you making fun of me?” Do people see me as a kind guy who’s a pushover? Why is everyone messing with me?

Not only Skylar had kept her relationship with Tobias from him, but even Katrina had lied to him.

He was way too gullible and deceivable. No wonder Tobias looked down on him, saying that his brain had stopped developing since puberty.

Katrina grinned sheepishly, acting innocent. She couldn’t stop herself from stealing glances at Tobias, her gaze shining with awe and adoration.

Right then, Skylar was looking for Tobias to bring him his croissant. She noticed the door of the motorhome was opened, and both Tobias and Katrina were standing close to each other by the motorhome.
