In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 97

Skylar yelled at Jackson in frustration, “Have you no common sense atall? Can you please stay away from me? Get out of my sight at onceand stop interrupting my life!”

Suddenly, she reached for her phone because she received anotification. Jackson craned over, asking curiously in an attempt to takea peek at her phone, “Who is it? What is it about?”

Skylar pushed Jackson's chubby cheeks away because he was merely afew inches away from her screen.

Tobias: I'll drop by the university in the evening.

Every time Skylar received a text from Tobias, she felt as though shewas a secret agent because Tobias’ text was like a series of morse codesthat would require decipherment. Most of the time, he wouldn't botherto punctuate his text, leading to further confusion.

Skylar swiftly swiped her fingers across the keypads and drafted herreply within a few seconds.

Skylar: Ill be joining my friends for dinner tonight. I won't be aroundbecause we'll be away for a karaoke session after our meal.

She wasn't lying because she would be hanging out with her coursemates, singing to their hearts’ content after their meal tonight.

Initially, she didn't want to take part in it, but since everyone else hadindicated their will to join the activities, she had no choice but to goalong with the majority.

Jackson's goofy smile was nowhere to be seen as his expressionchanged into a gloomy one. “Are you going out tonight? Who is it?Make sure you behave yourself and remember your role as my wife,okay?”

Skylar couldn’t believe her ears and almost pass out because of theabsurdity of the geek's statement. She secretly warned herself to stayaway from geeks in the future unless she enjoyed being annoyed.

She proceeded to reply with a bright grin sarcastically, “Who else couldit be apart from my boyfriend? Am I not allowed to go out on a datewith my boyfriend?”

The geek had his doubts. He denoted, “I know you don't have aboyfriend. Apart from that, I'm pretty sure no one else will get into arelationship with you if they're aware your mother is a murderer. Mymother is the only open-minded one who's able to accept you as amember of our family.”

Skylar had a hard time catching her breath when she heard Jackson'sstatement. She would never allow others to address her mother in sucha demeaning manner.

She glared at him and warned, “You better keep your mouth shut andstay away from me! If you insist on following me, I'll lodge a report andget the police officers to throw you behind bars!”

He got anxious all of a sudden because Skylar was punching in thenumbers as they spoke. “Calm down, Skylar! I'll leave immediately.However, I'll be back to pick you up after your activities. It's dangerousfor you to walk home alone at night.”

As soon as Jackson departed, Skylar, who had yet to regain hercomposure, received another call from Tobias.

The moment she picked up the call, she heard the indifferent andcallous tone of the man, stating as though he was delivering hisinstructions. “I'm waiting for you at the entrance of the university. Iwant you to get over within ten minutes.”

She replied, “That's impossible! I'm still in my dormitory! If you want meto get there within ten minutes, why don’t you get me a pair of wings?”Tobias was harsh with his choice of words, but he replied in a gentletone, “Oh? I can't get you a pair of wings, but I can give you the besttime of your life soon. You should cut the small talk and get goingalready. Stop wasting my time.”

By the time Skylar attempted to rebuke the man once more, she couldonly hear the ambient noise from her phone because he had hung upthe call.

Judging by the tone and the noise she heard, she thought Tobias was inthe middle of driving. Therefore, if she turned him down and insistedon staying in the dorm, she knew he would barge into the dormitoryand drag her out against her will.

She decided to save her the trouble of being embarrassed in front ofothers again. After she made up her mind, she sprinted in the directionof the entrance.

Once she reached the entrance of the university, the panting womansaw Tobias. She could barely catch her breath because she had beenrunning all the way.

Frowning, Tobias checked on his watch and announced, “You're threeminutes late.”

Skylar resisted her urge to roll her eyes in front of Tobias. Oh, God!Please punish me if I have sinned, but please stop sending Tobias myway!

She took a deep breath and rebuked, “Excuse me? I have been runningall the way here! Do you really think I can fly?”

Tobias reached over and ran his fingers through her unkempt hair,asserting with a smile, “Didn't you need my help to install a pair ofwings? Let's see if we can deal with it tonight.”

As she was conscious of the meaning behind Tobias’ words, she took afew steps back to keep her distance. To conceal the fact she wasanxious, she cleared her throat and put on a calm front.

Tobias heard it and stubbed out the barely smoked cigarette after heheaved one final smoke out of his mouth.
