In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 92

Lily had made up her mind by then. She wouldn't allow Skylar to escapesince her son had a crush on him.

The irritated woman asked Wesley, “What's wrong with your niece?Why don't you go around and ask others if they have received threehundred thousand as dowry nowadays? Things are different. Thesedays, the ladies are the ones who have to compensate the men if theywant to get married!”

Wesley couldn't make up his mind. He looked at Sharon in the eyes andasked for her opinion.

Sharon assured Lily, “She's such an ungrateful brat! No matter what ittakes, we'll make sure Skylar gets married to Jackson! I'll drop by herschool and get her leaves approved on her behalf tomorrow. We'llmake sure she shows up during the wedding ceremony.”

Jackson looked at the invitation card to the wedding ceremony and gotpumped up all of a sudden. He thought luck was on his side because hecould finally spend the rest of his life with the woman of his dreams.Meanwhile, Skylar, who had returned, had a bad feeling about itbecause someone showed up out of nowhere and proposed.

She confronted Jackson, yet, he didn’t seem to have an idea of whatwas going on as well.

Soon, Skylar received countless calls from Wesley after she returned tothe dormitory. As she couldn't take it anymore, she decided to blockher uncle's contact.

Finally, she learned about her uncle and his family’s true colors. Theywere a shameless bunch that would forsake her for their sakes. If itweren't due to her grandmother, she would have severed ties withthem without any hesitation.

Wesley was her late grandmother's favorite child. She didn't want todisappoint her beloved grandmother. Thus, she had to tolerate theabsurd request that had been brought up by her so-called uncle.

The next day, the moment Skylar walked out of the dormitory, shecaught a glimpse of Jackson at the hall downstairs, surveying thesurroundings.

The horn-rimmed glasses he had put on made him stand out amongstthe bunch of good-looking young men and women in the university.He had successfully grabbed the attention of the passerby with hisgeeky look.

“Where does this loser come from? Is he waiting for his girlfriend?”Skylar heard a few ladies discussing and teasing about the geeky manopposite their dormitory.

Jackson shouted, “S-Skylar!”

She pretended as though she didn’t hear him. Jackson was not deterredby this but instead, he shouted her name repeatedly from across thestreet.

He waved because he was afraid she might have missed him. "H-Hey,Skylar! 1-I'm over here!”

Skylar had no choice but to approach the geeky man because she wasafraid he wouldn't stop calling her name. As expected, she was greetedby the odd looks of the crowd.

She didn't have anything against Jackson's look since there wasn'tanything much he could do about it—he was born with it.

However, she didn't want to be affiliated with Jackson at all. Apart frombeing ordinary friends, it would be impossible for them to take theirrelationship to the next level.

“Why are you here?” Skylar asked indifferently.

Jackson unzipped his jacket and showed her the croissant and the cupof coffee he had brought along with him with his signature goofy smile.“I made my way out at five o'clock in the morning and dropped by ourfavorite pastry shop that was nearby our senior high school to get youyour favorite croissant! I have been keeping it inside my jacket toensure it's still warm when you wake up!”

She was taken by surprise because he was spot on. The croissant fromthat particular store was her favorite.

With that being said, she didn't expect he would keep that in mind afterall these years and go to great lengths to get it for her.

Despite being touched deep down, she wasn't in the mood to savor herfavorite croissant. She stated callously, “You should return to where youcome from. I have classes to attend. Also, you better stop showing upon the campus! It's way too far from your home!”

Jackson flushed and said, “You don't have to worry about me becauseI'm not tired at all. I have obtained my mother's consent. She'll allowyou to finish your course after we get married. In the future, I'll get yourbreakfast ready and drop you off at the university every day.”

Skylar felt a chill running down her spine because she couldn't believethey had everything sorted out on her behalf, including a futureblueprint for them both.

Have I not made myself clear? I'm pretty sure we're conversing usingthe same language, aren't we?

“Skylar, is this your boyfriend? He's such a handsome man!” The voiceof Carmen, Skylar's roommate, could be heard from behind her.

Yasmin lugged Carmen away and told her to get going already insteadof poking her nose into other's businesses.
