In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 172

Skylar knew that she shouldn’t add fuel to the fire. If she went head-to-head with Tobias, things could very well get ugly.

She nodded. “I understand, I won’t ask you again. I’m fine with whatever you say.”

Tobias reached out to grab her hand. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have used that tone.”

Skylar’s lashes fluttered. “I understand where you’re coming from. It’s not easy being trapped in between. It’s my fault that your mother doesn’t like me. I really do have a poor background. My neighbors used to say that I’d have trouble marrying in the future and that my in-laws would scorn me, even my children won’t be able to live with their heads held high.”

Tobias heaved a sigh, then lifted her chin and gave her a peck on the lips. “It has nothing to do with you. Why are you overthinking it? I don’t choose my partner based on their family background or whatnot. I can make up for everything that you lack.”

Daryl had caught wind of Tobias’ visit to the film set.

Hence, the first thing he did was look for the man. When he saw Skylar and Tobias together, he was visibly stunned.

Before Skylar went to get ready for filming, Tobias whispered something into her ear, making her blush furiously and scurry off after that.

They already had a wild night in bed yesterday, but Tobias was insatiable, eager to have another lovemaking session tonight.

After Skylar left, Daryl asked out of curiosity, “Mr. Ford, are you very close to Skylar?”

Tobias replied blandly, “She’s my girlfriend. This is her first time acting in a movie, so do take good care of her.”

Daryl was dumbfounded. He never thought that someone with no background like Skylar had Tobias Ford as her backer.

He couldn’t help but think that she was being too low-key. If she revealed her relationship with Tobias, the female lead role would never have been snatched away by Katrina.

He couldn’t fathom why Tobias did not provide Skylar with extra resources when he could do seemingly impossible things with only a snap of his fingers.

Even the producers would cower upon hearing Tobias’ name and would never insist on casting Katrina.
