In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 74

Skylar replied, “You really know yourself well. I have turned over a new leaf. Please let me go.”

Tobias picked up the DVD on the bed. He was impressed to find little touches like that in such a place.

He sniggered, “Just accompany me one more night.”

Tobias was filled with disgust as he scanned his surroundings. The supposedly white sheets were already yellowish while the wall was still equipped with an incandescent lamp. The light it emitted was uncomfortably glaring.

In fact, the wall had turned yellowish from the prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke. This was tormenting for a hygiene freak like him.

Skylar refused. “If there’s a first time, there definitely will be a second. Tobias, can you stop bullying me? How long do you still want to torment me for?”

Tobias threw the pornographic DVD towards Skylar’s and remarked gently, “If you learn all the techniques inside, I’ll consider letting you off.”

It was useless to reason with a gangster.

Skylar binned the disc and scowled, “Can you stop thinking about that all the time? Why can’t you think of something more positive?”

Amused, Tobias looked at her longingly, “You don’t understand how my life works. Other than being with you, there’s no time for me to be relaxed.”

Skylar wasn’t interested in his life. Who am I to him? I’m nothing but his toy.

Our lives are not meant to overlap anyway.

“I’m going back as I still have to go to school tomorrow. That’s my only way out and I need the money. Perhaps when I become a superstar one day, I can even pay you back for breaking the contract.”

Skylar’s hand was already on the doorknob when Tobias coldly asserted, “I can give you all the money you need as long as you can wait for me. I promise you that I’m not going to get married.”

Skylar ignored his words. She didn’t want to play any part in him abandoning his wife and child.

Besides, Tobias made it sound too easy when he promised that he wasn’t going to get married.

“Your mom’s medical fees.”

Since he couldn’t change her mind any other way, he had to resort to leveraging on her weakness.

However, Skylar was filled with resolve and left without looking back. Even if she had to make money selling liquor, she preferred doing that over being ensnared further.

She regretted wavering earlier and following Tobias into the room.

Tobias didn’t expect Skylar to leave abruptly. He now realized how firm she was in resisting his advances.

Worried that it was unsafe for her to walk the streets at night, he followed her downstairs.

The owner gave both of them a curious look. Are they already done?

I didn’t expect someone that looks masculine to only last such a short time.

Never judge a book by its cover, I suppose.

Tobias’ fearsome glare put a stop to the owner’s ridiculous thoughts.

The owner quickly pretended to be busy and typed at the computer although its screen was off.

After they left the hotel, Skylar’s suppressed temper exploded when Tobias continued following her. In the middle of the deserted street, she roared, “Can you stop tormenting me already? I won’t mind if you are single but not under the current circumstance.”

With his pride hurt by Skylar’s outburst, he retorted, “I don’t have time to waste with you. I have made myself clear and it’s up to you whether you choose to listen. You don’t have to scream at me in public.”

In truth, Skylar didn’t understand why Tobias wanted her to wait for a non-existent conclusion.

She knew that someone ordinary like her would never be married into a prominent family, let alone the foremost among them.
