In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 613

Chapter 613 Will You Be Back Tonight

Marcus forced himself to forget about the face of the woman in his mind, for she happily went for a date but ended up losing her life.

Marcus could still remember that she had chosen a white floral dress and proudly explained to him her reason for choosing it.

At that unwelcomed memory, he flung his lit cigarette to the ground, stomping on it as he watched Skylar leave.

Skylar had a petite frame that would rouse men’s urge to wrap her in their arms.

Marcus felt it was a waste for such a beautiful and innocent girl to be spreading her legs for Tobias at night.

Skylar had drunk a few glasses of beer, so she had the scent of alcohol lingering around her. Afraid that Tobias would smell it, she rolled down the window, letting the cold breeze into the car to wash the scent away.

The car was completely silent. Cinque, Lionel, and the driver didn’t say anything throughout the ride. The only sounds were the wind blowing and the friction between the tires and gravel.

Suddenly, she remembered the adult toy in Kate’s purse. It was a quick glimpse, but she could tell that the toy was a dildo with barbs.

Skylar couldn’t help but compare the toy’s length to Tobias’. After doing so, she concluded that the toy lost.

Skylar broke out in a cold sweat as she imagined Amelia on the receiving end of the toy. She couldn’t believe that Kate had such a fetish, and the reason for the despair on Amelia’s face finally clicked into place.

Is it truly worth it? I don’t understand why Amelia chose to jump into the dark abyss when she had other options.

By the time the car stopped, Skylar had come up with an explanation for Tobias for her late return. After a glance at the clock, she noted it was already a quarter after eleven.

The lights were still bright in the living room. When Madelyn heard the door opening downstairs, she came down.

“Where is he?” Skylar bent down to pick up her shoes. She noticed the pair of blue house slippers sitting on the rack beside the leather boat shoes.

“Mr. Ford is not back yet.”

Skylar lowered her eyes at her reply. Tobias sure was good at talking me into moving in with him but didn’t even send me a text about not coming back.

If a couple moved in together before getting married, the elders would usually look down upon the girl.

Despite that, she had chosen to ignore the humiliation for Tobias’ sake. After all, she wasn’t the daughter of a wealthy family. Her background was nothing in the eyes of the Fords, to begin with.

Initially, she thought moving in together would be the start of a perfect life. Instead, disappointment filled her as she realized it was no different from before.

Plopping onto the couch, she rested her chin on an avocado-shaped pillow and dug through her purse for her phone. Then, she toggled to her call history and found Tobias’ number.

A deep voice came from the phone. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

His question was so direct that Skylar couldn’t manage a response. At the same time, she could vaguely hear a man’s and a woman’s voices in the background.

“If the bank doesn’t adjust the interest rate, all our efforts will go down the drain. Split the funds into three…”

“But Mr. Ford, the regulatory commission…”

Skylar listened to the broken conversation as she glanced at the clock. It was nearly one in the morning, yet Tobias was still busy with work.

At that thought, her resentment dissipated slightly. After all, she had imagined hearing a woman’s voice saying that Tobias was still in the shower.

She wondered how to react to that.

“I’ll hang up if there’s nothing important.” Tobias didn’t have a lot of patience for her that night.

Skylar could tell that he was busy, so her tone brightened slightly. “Will you be coming back tonight?”
