In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 24

Skylar blinked at Laura. “Just throw the leftovers away. Mr. Ford is rich anyway, so he won’t criticize me for wasting food. You know what? Why don’t I call and ask him?”

Hearing the mention of Tobias, Laura stopped her and replied, “I’ll go and cook now. Don’t call Mr. Ford. It’ll only look like I’ve treated you badly.”

“Tobias, what do you think about the wedding dress I chose? Does it look good?” As soon as Tobias arrived home, Tanya couldn’t wait to ask the helpers at home to bring her wedding dress for Tobias to have a look at.

Tobias was uninterested and did not even give her a perfunctory response.

At that instant, Tanya froze. “Our wedding is about to take place, and I’ve also picked a suit for you. I want our wedding to be a global sensation.”

At this, Tobias replied scornfully and indifferently, “Suit yourself. It has nothing to do with me anyway. I’m tired, so I’m gonna have some rest.”

He then went to the study and asked not to be disturbed.

Tobias’ mother, Claudia Stokes, did not get to meet Tobias after learning that he had returned home.

Holding Claudia’s arm, Tanya said aggrievedly and sadly, “Claudia, Tobias’ attitude toward me has always been this way. I don’t know what else to do. If he doesn’t like me, I can leave.”

Claudia patted Tanya on the back of her hand and looked at her lovingly while comforting, “Silly girl, how can you say this? Behind his cold exterior, he’s a passionate man. No one deserves to marry him except

you. If he dares to treat you badly, I’ll be the first to reprimand him.”

That was what Tanya intended. She knew she would hear those reassuring words from Claudia. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, it was impossible that she would leave.

Everyone knew that she was Mrs. Ford-to-be, the future wife of the owner of the wealthy Ford Group.

Thus, Tanya told Claudia meekly, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be a good wife and a good daughter-in- law.”

Delighted at being called “Mom,” Claudia said with a smile, “You’re a sensible girl, Tanya. You can rest assured that I’ll support you if Tobias bullies you in the future. I only hope that the two of you can get married soon and give me a grandkid.”

“What are you talking about? You look so happy.” Tobias’ brother, Sheldon Ford, leaned forward while holding an unlit cigarette in his hand.

“You’re back home finally after disappearing for so many days?” Claudia shot her son a cold look as the smile faded from her face.

Yawning, Sheldon replied, “I was busy. Besides, I’m back here now, aren’t I?”

Tanya had to conceal the look of disgust in her eyes as she had never liked Sheldon, who was frivolous and looked like a thug.

The two brothers were polar opposites of each other, with one being so quiet that he was like an iceberg, while the other was so enthusiastically talkative that he was like crickets on a summer night.

“Tanya, didn’t you go to France? When did you come back?” Sheldon asked Tanya enthusiastically.

“Well, I’ve just come back not long ago. I got you a souvenir as well,” replied Tanya.

Sheldon had no interest in souvenirs as he massaged his sore neck he got from the hangover and said, “I’m going to see Tobias. Just get someone to put the souvenir in my room.”

Tanya nodded her head with a fake smile.

What kind of tone is this? Is he ordering me around?

She had made up her mind to never live with this family after marrying Tobias.

Ever since she was engaged to Tobias, she knew she wanted to have a place for themselves as the others were not important.

“Get out.” As soon as Sheldon pushed the door, Tobias’ cold voice made him jump with fright.

Looking up, Tobias saw that it was Sheldon, so he threw the document on the table, took off his glasses, and pinched the bridge of his nose.
