In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Skylar asked, “My uncle was fired from the factory and can’t find a job now. Is this your doing?”

Tobias was silent for a while before changing the subject. “It’s rare for me to leave the company so early. You must be hungry. Come, I’ll take you to dinner! What do you feel like eating? Or do you wanna buy something back to cook?”

Skylar did not prod further. What can I do even after getting the answer? Accuse Tobias of being too ruthless in his punishment?

“Let’s eat at home. I’ll cook for you. What do you feel like eating…” Skylar looked at the time and found that it was almost six.

“I’m fine with anything you cook.” Tobias did not make any requests. He was never a picky eater, anyway, his priority had always been to fill his belly.

He brought Skylar to the supermarket to buy the ingredients she needed for cooking.

In the past, Skylar had always envied couples shopping in the supermarket. The man would push the cart while the woman would carefully select the ingredients. Then, they would go home together and cook.

In her mind, shopping for groceries with the person she loved was such a happy feeling.

However, Skylar was not lucky enough to feel this happiness because Tobias kept answering his phone while pushing the cart with one hand.
