In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 201

Once their lust dissipated, her unhappiness over the evening’s events crept in. When she thought about the private room at The Bay Restaurant, she recalled how the men looked at her and their attitude toward their female companions. It was simply infuriating. She didn’t understand Tobias’ social circle and wondered if philandering was a favorite pastime of theirs.

Tobias didn’t expect Skylar to be so affected by it. His intention was simple. All he wanted to do was have dinner and head home after that. And yet, it triggered Skylar.

He bit down on her shoulder forcefully. It was so painful Skylar covered it and glared at him.

“Next time, please don’t take me to such dinners. All of them see women as objects. Is it supposed to be a gathering of mistresses?” Skylar voiced her resentment. Tonight’s experience was really upsetting for her.

“Alright. Stop letting your imagination run wild. I don’t have a mistress and neither are you one.” Tobias pulled Skylar into his embrace easily and drank some water from the glass beside the bed. After that, he fed it into Skylar’s lips.

As the warm water flowed from his lips, Skylar didn’t swallow and let it flow along her lower jaw instead. Tobias quickly followed up by kissing along the trail of the water.

Under normal circumstances, Tobias was a man of few words. He seemed to be born with a frosty demeanor, similar to those of noble blood. He was both powerful and intimidating, to the extent Skylar didn’t dare disobey him.

But in bed, he was never lacking in ideas. He could easily arouse her and turn her on until she was driven crazy with lust.

Again, Skylar woke up before Tobias did. Both of their circadian clocks seemed to be on different tracks. She remembered falling asleep in a daze before Tobias left the room. When she went to the bathroom at midnight, she realized he wasn’t in bed and noticed that the study room light was on.

She didn’t disturb him and left without making a sound. She was curious as to when Tobias would ever sleep earlier than her.

Breakfast was simple. They had whole wheat bread, hard-boiled eggs, and black coffee.

Skylar began to watch her weight. Previously, she assumed that she could eat anything without putting on weight. After being together with Tobias for the last few months, she realized she gained ten pounds despite not seeing each other every day. Fortunately, ten pounds wasn’t a lot for an ordinary person as she was still just as slim.

But, the saying goes, “one looks ten pounds heavier on the silver screen”. When Skylar saw her face on film, it looked as if she had put on more than ten pounds. As screens were two-dimensional, they had the effect of flattening one’s face. Even Daryl questioned her as to why did she put on so much weight.

Skylar wondered if it was because she was getting older and her metabolism was slowing down. But, she was only twenty years old. Hence, it must be due to Tobias. A man’s love could also fatten a lady up.

Without waiting for Tobias, she began biting into the tasteless whole wheat bread. She planned for it to be her only meal for the day. So that she could lose ten pounds within the month.

While she was nibbling on the dense texture of the bread, Tobias came down from upstairs. His first reaction was, “Are you broke?”

After painstakingly swallowing a mouthful of bread and drinking some water, she replied, “It’s bad luck to talk about being broke first thing in the morning.”

Tobias picked up the whole wheat bread and realized that it was dark and hard. Skylar hadn’t bothered to toast the bread first. Although they seldom cooked, the kitchen was still very well equipped.

“Why are you tormenting yourself by having such a breakfast? What in the world are you even eating?” Tobias brought out a bottle of milk and put it into the microwave.
