In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 102

Just as Skylar was ready to straddle her feet, her arm was grabbed byTobias and she could feel her bone about to fracture in his grip.

She was going to scream in pain when she was thrown off balance andbumped straight into Tobias’ embrace. His sturdy chest almost crushedher nose.

Tobias lowered his head and his voice came very lowly from aboveSkylar. “Try moving another step and I'll cripple you.”

Skylar could feel the murderous hint in the air.

It was obvious that he was exasperated.

Jackson got down from his scooter and looked at them. With anaggrieved expression, he asked Skylar, “Haven't we agreed on this?How come there's another man now? My family has paid you threehundred thousand. Are you scamming us?”

Tobias took a brief glance at the simple-hearted Jackson, fished out hisphone, and handed it to him. “Enter your card number here and I'lltransfer the money to you.”

“Our relationship can't be bought off with money.” Jackson grabbed thephone and thrust it against the ground.

Skylar was taken aback by Jackson's reaction and was a little anxious atthe same time. It was a great surprise for her to replace out that such anaive and cowardly man like Jackson actually had a manly side as well.When they were studying together back then, he was always bullied bythe other male classmates, and never once did he counter their attack,be it physical or verbal.

By degrees, Tobias’ eyes were lit with hostility and his tone was bitinglycold. “What an ingrate!”

As he finished his words, Skylar was quick to take the initiative to wrapher arms around his waist while she leaned her head against his chestand spoke fawningly, “I'll go with you. Don't trouble him.”

Regardless, Jackson was her former classmate. Skylar was truly afraidthat Tobias would finish him off.

Tobias’ face looked like hell and his wrath had even spread on to Skylar.“Get in the car and go back with me. This matter will be resolvedtomorrow.”

Though frightened by the intimidating vibe wafting from the man infront of him, Jackson continued to beseech Skylar. “Skylar, please don'tleave with him. Don't go breaking my heart. I really like you. I love youto the bones and I can't live without you.”

At that moment, Skylar really wished to replace some tapes to sealJackson's mouth.

Listening to those words uttered by Jackson, Tobias’ outburstdissipated. He raised the corner of his lips into a playful curve and saidto Skylar, “Look how you've broken his heart.”

Skylar looked into Tobias’ eyes which were glowing in a mystifying glintHe stared at Skylar and Jackson as though he was watching a sitcom.Even his tone was displeasing.

She turned around and got into the car in a ruthless manner withoutgiving Jackson another look. But the reason she did so was also to savehim.

Following that, Tobias got in the car as well and looked at Skylar whowas sullen.

Giving her a quick gaze, he asked, “Feeling bad, huh? It has only been afew days and you've already developed an affection for him?”

Tucking her hair behind her ears, Skylar uttered, “Where are youbringing me? I have only three hours left before the dormitory islocked.”

Tobias lay his arms on the leather seatback of the passenger seatcasually. “Alright then. let's just drive around for the next three hours.I'll accompany you to Wesley's house tomorrow to call off yourwedding. I'll make whoever had taken the money turn their pocketsout.”

Skylar frowned while looking at him. “You should be very busytomorrow. How can you have time to meddle in my business?”

Tobias replied very simply, “I had a quarrel with my family. The weddingis canceled. Whoever interested can get married to her himself. It hasnothing to do with me.”

Thoughts were running wild in Skylar's mind upon hearing that. She felta twinge in her heart and she started, “You can't be doing this becauseof me, right? If it's—"

“You're thinking too much. There's nothing to do with you. I'm just notinto marriage,” Tobias cut Skylar off.

Skylar mused with self-deprecation that she was too heedless aboutherself. How could Tobias resort to this because of me? That questionof mine only showed how thick-skinned I am.

Tobias drove around leisurely without a destination and he evendecelerated deliberately.

Skylar had been observing the time attentively. Every half an hour, shewould remind Tobias that it wasn't the route to her school.

However, her kind reminder was automatically ignored by Tobias everytime.

Eventually, the car was driven to a familiar residential area—International Garden.
