In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 291

Sheldon found her words hilarious. Indeed, Skylar was too young for his brother. She was just a little girl and had nothing in common with Tobias.

There was nothing else they could talk about other than having sex. Sheldon had never seen them chatting with each other. He was always the one who kept jibber-jabbering all the time.

Right then, Tobias’ phone rang. Leaving his meal unfinished, he picked up the car keys and instructed the maid to hand him the coat.

Claudia immediately stopped him. “What happened? Can't you leave after the meal?”

Tobias hesitated for a few seconds before he replied, “Something came up. I have to head to the company. You enjoy your meal. I'll see you next week.”

Claudia called out to Tobias, but he left in a hurry without looking back. Sheldon couldn't help but whine, “Mom, why must you make him stay? I can accompany you. You're biased towards Tobias, Mom. You're always worried about his marriage and you've never once cared about me. I'm not that young anymore. Don't you think I should settle down and get married?”

Claudia held her head with one hand and pinched her brows. “I had high hopes for Tobias. I expect him to get married and have a child soon. But I guess it's not going to happen. Do as you please, Sheldon. Pick a few women from our family friends and choose the one whom you like.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Upon hearing that, the smirk on his face faded. Sheldon cleared his throat and asked with a serious look, “Can“t I go for the woman I like? Why must I pick one from our family friends? Those heiresses are spoilt and pretentious. We're living in modern times now. Who still cares about social status?”

Claudia raised her volume. “Stop dreaming! I'm doing this for your own good. Don't behave like your brother and never get yourself a promiscuous woman. I loathe those gold-diggers who are calculating and materialistic. Just like Skylar Jones, she’s a shameless woman and has ruined our family.

Sheldon was lost in his thoughts. Judging from Claudia’s attitude towards Skylar, his mother would never accept Winnie. Claudia spoke of Skylar as if the latter was an unforgivable sinner.

By the time Tobias arrived at the hospital, Skylar had undergone surgery. She was still under observation in the operation theater. Tobias looked anxious when he arrived. Hannah didn’t expect to see him there. If she knew Tobias would come over, she would've contacted him in the first place.

Hannah gazed at Tobias. He was holding his black coat and talking to Kate outside the operation theater.

The red light above the door was off, yet Skylar was still inside. Tobias started getting worried until Kate told him that the doctor was observing Skylar's condition.

After Tobias found out Skylar was fine, he turned around and was about to leave. Kate looked at him in disbelief. She was provoked by his reaction. She suppressed her anger towards him and kept the emotion to herself.

Kate was worried sick about Skylar, yet Tobias just took a glance at the door and left without looking back. He's such a cold-hearted man. Kate tactfully asked, “Mr. Ford, are you leaving now? Skylar may look for you after she regains her consciousness.”

With one hand in his pocket, Tobias glanced at her with a condescending sneer. “I'm heading to the counter to pay the expenses. If 1 don't do it, who will handle it for her?”

Kate realized that she had misunderstood him.

Tobias went to the ward after he settled the payment. When he saw Skylar, she had regained her consciousness.
