In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 298

She almost married Jeremy. If she were his wife, she could only be a housewife, taking care of his parents and children at home.

I guess I'm not that unfortunate. Luckily I made another call, or else my life would be wasted.

While Skylar was lost in her thought of marriage, Penelope called her. Penelope apologized for what happened the day before. Besides, she invited Skylar for dinner as she had an important announcement.

As her best friend, Skylar happily accepted her invitation although she had a date with Tobias that evening. Tobias was going to bring her to a nice restaurant to have some gourmet Western cuisines.

Skylar couldn“t help but feel relieved after she called off the dinner. She felt stressed whenever she had Western cuisines with Tobias. The man was very particular about the ambiance and the food quality.

He always opted for a full-course meal which consisted of an appetizer, soup, main course, salad, and dessert.

The dining etiquette was way too complicated to her liking. Actually, Skylar was not very fussy about what she ate. Besides, what annoyed her the most was that she had to stay alert throughout the meal so that she didn’t make a fool of herself.

That was her first time to call off a date with Tobias. His response was rather indifferent. He just hummed in response, then he ended the call. Skylar was expecting Tobias to express concern for her, such as reminding her to get more rest. However, he would never say something like that to her.

Penelope was living a good life now. She and Skylar used to have budgeted meals together at small restaurants, but now she booked a table at a high-end Japanese restaurant for dinner.

It cost at least eight hundred per person. In the old days, they never set their foot in these deluxe restaurants.

“I'm pregnant.” Penelope smiled happily as she caressed her belly. Wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Skylar froze in her position as she was overwhelmed by the news. For a moment, she could not utter a word.

After recomposing herself, she asked, “Whose child is it? Is the man the father? Did you tell him?” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Penelope pursed her lips and nodded.

After a few seconds, she softly replied, “Not yet. I'm going to keep the baby anyway. I've placed all my hope on my baby. He's too good for me. I have to stabilize our relationship with our baby. He's going to marry me."

Upon hearing what Penelope said, Skylar started getting emotional. “Are you trying to win a man’s heart with your baby? Don't be silly. What if he doesn't acknowledge that it's his child?”

Penelope condemned right away, “No, he won't do that.”

After their meetup, Skylar went home early. She put on the new nightgown and waited for Tobias to come home. It was a black silk camisole nightgown with a deep V-neck. It fit her perfectly, showing her nice figure.

When Tobias came home, he was stunned by her beauty. The black silk fabric complimented her fair skin. She looked so sexy.

Tobias squinted his eyes and fixed his gaze on her amazing figure. Skylar walked towards him while flicking her hair back from her face. "How do I look?” she asked shyly.

“Something is missing,” Tobias answered indifferently. In fact, Skylar looked extremely attractive when she dressed like that.

However, Tobias always had high expectations. It was not easy to please him.

Besides, he saw through her move. There had to be a reason for Skylar to be so nice to him suddenly, most probably she had something to ask from him.

Skylar bit her lips and looked at him. “What's wrong? Do I not look sexy and pretty?”

Skylar thought she looked stunning in the nightgown.

Tobias went to the bedroom and looked for something in the cabinet. Skylar had kept some sexy lingerie there.

He handed a demi bra and a lacy underwear to her.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Skylar took the lingerie and headed towards the room to get changed.

“Why are you avoiding me? Get changed in front of me.” Tobias placed one arm over the sofa and looked at her with a mischievous smile on his face.
