In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 179

Claudia raised her hand to tug Tobias back. “It’s my birthday today. Don’t answer it, I’m sure your work can wait.”

Tanya lifted her head to look at him and said considerately, “Tobias, you can just answer it here. We won’t make a sound until you’re done.”

Tobias declined the call, not wanting to get into a dispute with his mother during her birthday celebration because of a woman while his relatives were around.

Claudia was happy with his decision.

“When are you going to move back, Tobias?” Tanya inched closer to him, her honeyed voice grating on his nerves.

While Claudia was chatting with their relatives, Tobias led Tanya out of the private room.

As Tanya got up, she cautiously guarded her belly with both hands.

Upon seeing the two of them leave, Tobias’ uncle asked, “No wonder the wedding’s been postponed. Turns out his wife is pregnant. Why didn’t you share such wonderful news with us, Claudia?”

Claudia’s expression turned slightly embarrassed. How could I? Was I supposed to say that my son doesn’t want to acknowledge his wife and unborn child?

If I did, my son would seem just like his b*stard of a father who discarded women like they were nothing.

Tobias turned to close the door behind him. He and Tanya were standing in the corridor, and the expression on his face was sullen.

“So when are you going to leave?”

Tanya caressed her belly while standing mere inches away from Tobias. “Why should I leave? You should come home once you’ve settled your mess outside. It’s time to concentrate on raising this child together.”

If it weren’t for his self-restraint that kept him from laying a hand on a pregnant woman, he would have slapped Tanya across the face by now.

Tobias’ phone was vibrating incessantly at that moment. Due to his boiling anger, he whipped out his phone irritably.

Tanya squinted her eyes and saw that the saved name on Tobias’ phone showed “ASkylar.”

He’s still with that woman. He even put the alphabet A in front of her name so that he can easily find her contact number.

This is practically a public display of affection!

“Your mom and I have talked about Skylar before. She knows that Skylar’s the daughter of a murderer. Do you really think your mother will accept someone like her?” Tanya feigned kindness as she calmly reminded Tobias.

Tobias shot an icy glance at Tanya. If it weren’t for his mother’s health issue, this woman would never have the nerve to act like this.
