In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 72

Tobias coldly retorted, “I’m disappointed at how ungrateful you are.”

It was obvious to Skylar that she had worn out his patience.

After she left the cafeteria, Tobias continued to follow her, leaving one meter between them.

They stopped at the new cafeteria building, which just had its foundations laid.

Skylar remembered that it was Tobias that funded the building.

She asked him, “Did you promise the principal to donate this building to the school as a condition for my admission?”

Tobias smiled smugly. “That’s right. Your school fees are… expensive.”

Skylar finally verified the claims. I’ve owed Tobias too much. How could I ever repay him in this lifetime?

However, what Tobias withheld from Skylar was that the principal had no right to demand anything from him.

Even if he wanted to enroll a dog, the principal wouldn’t even dare refuse him.

Actually, he donated the building on his own accord. But, he used it as a sneaky lie to shackle her even further.

Skylar scratched her head. “Since I can never repay you, I will not try to do so. You can take it as a show of goodwill to the poor.”

Tobias frowned. He had assumed Skylar would be touched but didn’t expect her to use it as an excuse to default on her debt.

He plainly remarked, “Money is indeed not important to me. But how are you going to return my stolen heart?”

Skylar pretended not to hear him as she put on her earphones.

By the time Skylar ended work at the cafe, it was almost time for her curfew. Hence, she quickly ran back to her dormitory.

When she arrived at the entrance, a dark shadow loomed upon her.

Before she had the chance to scream, someone covered her mouth from behind.

She only managed to calm herself down when she caught a whiff of the familiar white sandalwood scent. Tobias is still here.

Under the dim light of the streetlamp, Tobias let go of Skylar’s mouth and placed his hands around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. “I came a long way to your school. Unfortunately, my car has broken down. Not only do I not have a place to stay, but I also lost my wallet and cards. Tonight, only you can take me in.”

Skylar elbowed Tobias’ chest but felt like she had hit a concrete wall. He didn’t feel the pain at all.

Skylar seethed as she replied, “You can pay with your phone.”

Tobias countered, “I don’t know how to because I have not done it before.”

After letting Skylar go, he showed her his phone to prove that he was telling the truth.

Skylar took his phone to check and realized he didn’t have any payment apps installed.

She felt as if she was dreaming. The filthy rich Tobias was pretending to be as poor as her.

Just before she returned his phone, she saw an unread message from Tanya.

It read: Mom is asking you to come home earlier. She is waiting for you.

Skylar stuffed his phone back at him. “I don’t care about you. You can call your driver and get him to pick you up.”

After he switched off his phone, Tobias threw it in the garbage bin in a nonchalant manner. “I’ve lost my phone now. What am I to do?”

However, Skylar had turned away and was about to leave as it was two more minutes to her curfew.

She saw the lady in charge of the dormitory walking toward the main gate with a key in her hands.

Skylar called out, “Wait, I’m still not in yet!”

Tobias stepped in front of her to block her way. “If you don’t take me in, I’m afraid I’ll have to sit downstairs the whole night. It will be extremely embarrassing.”

Skylar was incensed at how a cold person could do something so irresponsible.

Meanwhile, she watched with widened eyes as the lady in charge of the dormitory locked the main gate. Now, even she couldn’t get back in.

Taking a deep breath, Skylar explained, “I have spent all my money on the dormitory fee and food. I only have a hundred with me now so I can’t take you in either.”

Tobias replied calmly, “I’m not particular about where I stay. I’m fine as long as there’s a bed.”
