In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 345

Hearing Penelope's words, Skylar's mouth twitched. This is not good. She almost burned the whole house down during her previous cooking lesson with me.

“Oh, by the way, what should we name our baby? Help me think of a name, darling.”

Surprised, Skylar choked on her water. She even calls him darling now? How can she say it out loud so blatantly? I've only ever called Tobias darling once or twice on the bed. Being the perverted guy that he is, Tobias would force me to call him using lascivious nicknames like darling or master when we're in bed...

“Just call him Scooter. Get it? Scoot-er.” Brayden gave a facetious response, showing no concern toward the baby in Penelope's belly. Skylar was enraged by his apathetic attitude.

On the other hand, Penelope seemed rather unperturbed. She patted Brayden's shoulder before uttering in a cutesy voice, “You're so mean.” Tobias murmured into Skylar's ear, “When can you start behaving coquettishly like her?”

Skylar answered, “Never. This just isn't me.”

Growing up, I wasn't as feminine and gentle as the other girls.

I did try to act cute before but it just didn't seem right.

After Penelope and Brayden finished eating, they were quick to excuse themselves. The dining table was left in a huge mess.

Just as Skylar was getting ready to clean the table, Tobias embraced her and pressed her against the couch. “The cleaning can wait. First, I'd like to hear you call me darling, just like how your friend was calling Brayden.”

Under that circumstances, Skylar couldn't bring herself to call him darling. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Being pressed down by Tobias, Skylar was finding it hard to breathe. Just as she was about to suffocate, Tobias finally let go of her. “You should really learn to act cuter and girly. That is how you get a man to be captivated by you.”

Using her incredible acting skills, Skylar put on a cute facade. “I can only pretend to be cute and girly. If you want me to do it naturally, I can't—" Tobias gave Skylar a kiss on her forehead. Skylar's words evoked his memories of Idania, the woman whom he once swore to protect and cherish.

Gazing at Tobias's troubled face, Skylar reached out her slender hands and wrapped them around his neck. “The dishes ain't going to wash themselves. Can you excuse me for a moment?”

Tobias released her from his arms before uttering, “Go and take a rest. Let me handle the dishes. I'll join you later.”

Skylar, who was exhausted, happily accepted his offer and went upstairs.

Tobias watched as she was getting up the stairs. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

She does kind of resemble Idania. Is that the reason why I'm so fixated on her?

Skylar took a quick bath to remove the pungent smell of cooking odor from her body. Her face was beet-red when she exited the bathroom. She opened her closet, which was mostly filled with lingerie, and took out a set pajamas that she bought recently.

The pajamas she chose had a cute design that didn't really match Tobias's preference
