In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Kai chuckled softly. “You really wanna know that badly? If I didn’t promise to tell you, you would never have come.”

Skylar did not respond. All she wanted was to lay down and go to sleep. Her dark circles could hardly be covered with concealer anymore.

“Tobias was abandoned by his father when he was young. His father took his mistress abroad and left a huge debt behind. Because of that, Aunt Claudia became a single mother with two sons and a huge debt. Thankfully, she is a very strong woman but they still lived a hard life back then. Tobias is known to be a filial son and has never truly disobeyed my aunt, so stop being an idiot, Skylar. As long as my aunt doesn’t accept you, you can never have a future with Tobias. Plus, he’s not a one-woman kind of man. I’m telling you all of this because I see you as my friend. You should seriously think this through. And one more thing, he used to have many women.”

Feeling restless, Skylar pushed the pasta around her plate. Truth be told, she already knew about most of what Kai told her, but she never knew that Tobias was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had a past like that.

She lowered her gaze. “I can’t leave him now. I understand everything you’re saying, but I just can’t let go.”

Disappointment tore through Kai before helplessness filled him. “Well, when you need a shoulder to cry on in the future, you can come to me.”

Skylar was stunned for a moment but did not say anything. If need be, she would cry on her own. She would never show her vulnerable side to others.

After they were done eating, Skylar went to pay the bill. When she took out her phone to pay via the app, she saw an unread WhatsApp message.
