In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 514

Skylar V: Sorry for causing some kind of panic and wasting everyone's time. How does one have a child without even having a partner, though? p/s: Don't believe folk remedies related to childbirth.

When Skylar updated her social media account, she felt her hands tremble. Taking a step back, she decided to reflect on all that happened Even if Tobias was being indifferent, she did not want to come clean about their relationship. That would definitely affect her career.

With the awards ceremony coming soon, Kate was hinting at her to win the Golden Eagle Goddess. Thus, she could not afford any mistakes now.

Skylar was currently in third place, but there was still hope for her yet. Ironically, the votes seemed to consist of a male majority, at seventy percent.

She seemed to check all of their boxes, where the male appeal was concerned.

Sheldon, who was seated in the passenger side next to Tobias, chimed in jokingly. “Tobias, Skylar keeps insisting that she’s single, but I think there's a bit of an affair happening here. Who is hiding who? Why does it seem like Skylar is the one trying to keep you hidden? Imagine the tabloids if they catch hold of this juicy gossip! The CEO of the Ford Group and popular actress — a secret romance!”

Tobias liked the update Skylar posted and glanced at Sheldon. “You should consider going abroad. I've opened a new factory, and you can go there to help run it. A change of pace would be nice, I think. Maybe you'll find someone, settle down, have a few babies. Doesn't Skylar have tips on how to have boys? Go on and give it a go. Mom is dying to have grandkids.”

This silenced Sheldon immediately. He shuddered at the prospect of having to date someone foreign. It was too intimidating.

He was still interested in pursuing influencers but did not have a specific target in mind. The few he set his eye on looked too different from their pictures.

Thus, he disliked how prevalent filters were these days. Who knew how many innocent male hearts have been broken by this?

Nonetheless, Sheldon also accepted his fate and acknowledged that there was a pecking order of sorts. This was an uphill battle for him. He had been brainwashed by Winnie, and with Tobias making a fuss over it, it still resulted in humiliation for him. All of this was made very clear to him now — it was better for him to be a hedonist and indulge.

When he got tired of that lifestyle, then he could very well just find a woman and settle down. The rest of his life would then be lived just as artlessly.

“Marcus is back. I saw him at the bar last night, surrounded by these influencers. Man, this dude is living the life. Surrounded by people, where even the influencers were strip-teasing for him. Must be exciting.”

Upon the mention of Marcus, Tobias frowned. He was now worried that Marcus’ family would now return here as well.

He did not care as much, but he was concerned that it would affect his mother. Every time they met, Claudia seemed gloomy.

Claudia had not remarried for so many years and also bore a deep hatred for Xander. Meanwhile, Tobias was eager for the whole family to remain abroad.

Sheldon sighed aloud. “I do feel sorry for Marcus. Things were alright until that incident when he changed so drastically. Wouldn't you like to clear the air over what happened then? You obviously never did anything. Why does he think you did something to his partner?”

“What is there to explain?” asked Tobias coldly. “Do I owe him an explanation?”

Sheldon shut up disinterestedly since there wasn’t much he could say anyway. The incident involved the suicide of Marcus’ girlfriend, who happened to be one of the prettiest girls on campus. She was twenty- two then when she jumped off that expressway and would have been Skylar's age now.

If not for Tobias, the girl would not have lost her youth. Sheldon thought about her fate regretfully. She was even more beautiful than Skylar, too.

Sheldon also recalled how a crazed Marcus rushed towards Tobias with a knife in his hand. However, his physique was no match for Tobias’. There was also the matter of his brother's bodyguards, who have all seen war. They would kill with no hesitation whatsoever. Marcus could not get close, let alone stand a chance.

Tobias saw that the driver was en route to their home and requested that he be dropped off at Skylar's residence first.

“You're going to her place at night? Aren't you worried about the paparazzi?” asked Sheldon worriedly. “In the past, women would try to pull this sh*t on you and entrap you instead. But now, it's our Tobias rushing to her side. How touching.”

Tobias huffed. “Security there is so tight, even a fly can't make it past their sensors. I think you're running your mouth, Sheldon. There's also the matter of Winnie. She's been looking for people to expose both Skylar and me, and this has happened more than once, but I've managed to keep things down. If it happens again, I'm not going to take kindly to your incompetence.”
