In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 84

When Skylar wanted to leave, Tobias blocked the exit and locked thedoor. “Just stay here for the night. Or else, you might not be as luckythe next time you meet a bunch of hoodlums.”

Recalling Pink Hair, Skylar asked Tobias, “Where did the few of themgo? The police station?”

Tobias replied with a tone devoid of emotion, “They're dead.”

Skylar thought Tobias was kidding. “It's not funny at all. Why wouldthey be dead? It's not like they committed armed robbery.”

Tobias held onto Skylar's wrist and pulled her into his arms. Tighteninghis embrace, he whispered, “Young lady, the world isn't as perfect asyou imagine it to be. Since they made a mistake, they had to pay theprice. Forgiveness is for the weak.”

Skylar still didn't believe him. Although Tobias was ruthless, she didn'tthink he would actually take someone's life. Is he trying to teach meabout life?

When they heard a knock on the door, Skylar's heart sank. The imagesfrom the other day flashed across her mind. She didn't want to becaught in bed with him again.

As Tobias let go of Skylar to open the door, she found a place to hide. Ifshe could choose a superpower then, it would be the power ofinvisibility.

When she saw that it was Sheldon who entered, she heaved a sigh ofrelief.

However, Tobias was upset at being disturbed. “Why are you here atthis hour? Spit it out quickly.”

When Sheldon saw that Skylar was still around, he pulled Tobias aside.“Avery's father is here and wants to see Skylar. He's waiting at the hotelentrance and throwing a temper tantrum. However, he is just ranting atSkylar and doesn't dare scold you.”

“No, she’s not free.” Tobias decided on Skylar's behalf.

“He said that he will not leave until Skylar comes down. Furthermore, helooks extremely agitated. After all, he is known for coddling Avery andfeels indignant about how she has been humiliated.”

Tobias sneered, “If he wants to wait then just let him do so.”

Before he left, Sheldon shot a glance at Skylar and wondered whatTobias had said to her.

Skylar was spaced out and looked just like a frightened bunny.

Sitting on the sofa, Skylar held onto her phone with her sweaty palms.“If you're busy, I won't bother you any further. Just give me a room andI'll head back to school first thing in the morning.”

Tobias smirked in response. “Isn“t there more than enough space foryou to sleep here? Besides, I already told you that we need to have aproper talk. We haven't even started yet.”

Skylar put her hand to her forehead as she began to have a splittingheadache.

She was going to be absent from the dorm without reason and hername would be put up on the notice board again. It seemed like hername would stay there forever.

She grumbled, “What's there to talk about? Isn't it the same old topic? Ican give you the answer straight up. I don't want to be a mistress.Neither do I want to steal someone's husband nor someone's father.”Maintaining his composure, Tobias persuaded, “Would you actually bemore patient with me if I were someone else? Firstly, I will do my bestto annul my engagement. After all, it was never my intention to getmarried. Also, Tanya isn't carrying my child as I never touched her. Afterall this, I hope you have a better understanding of what's going on.”He wanted to clear all the doubts Skylar had

Skylar looked up and gazed deeply into Tobias’ eyes. She repliedmeekly, “Even if you canceled your engagement, what are we doingtogether? I have no intention of being in a relationship that has no endgoal.”

Skylar was still conservative to her bone. To her, it was irresponsible tobe in a relationship that didn't end up in marriage.
