In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 93

The entrance of the dormitory wasn’t the best location to have the conversation. Therefore, Skylar calmed herself and warned Jackson, “You should forget about it because there’s no way I’m going to get married to you! If you insist on behaving as such, I’m afraid we’re not going to be friends as well!”

She returned Jackson the croissant he had brought her after she made herself clear.

Jackson lowered his gaze and replied in an aggrieved manner, “I heard about your past relationship from your aunt. You had a boyfriend, and despite his condition, you stayed by his side through thick and thin. I know you’re a great lady who will never let me down. Isn’t that what a relationship is all about—spending time with your loved ones and taking care of one another?

Skylar was at a loss for words to rebuke the geeky young man’s reply because he had completely missed the point of her words.

She found it difficult to communicate with Jackson because they weren’t on the same channel. He paid no heed to her words and focused on delivering his one-sided message.

Frustrated, Skylar walked away in an attempt to shrug Jackson off, yet he wouldn’t stay away from her as though he was a brand new familiar she had just summoned after leveling up in some fantasy RPG game.

She didn’t appreciate this so-called familiar of hers at all.

On her way to Aldwych Building, she encountered Jeremy at the entrance.

Although they were university mates, never would she expect to run into him because their campus was a gigantic one. Running into him was the last thing she had on her to-do list.

She noticed he had reverted to square one and wasn’t the dashing man he used to be when he was discharged from the hospital—he stopped dressing up and dolling himself properly.

The set of outfits he had put on was the usual one he had.

Skylar wanted to stay away from Jeremy as far as she could. She quickly walked over to her classroom as usual. However, he got in her way and stopped her by placing his arm on the wall.

As Jackson got ahead of Skylar to defend her righteously, Jeremy started teasing her.

“What do we have here? Have you been dumped again? Is this your new boyfriend? Have you gotten into a relationship with whoever you’re able to get your hands on after running out of luck?”

Skylar’s eyelashes trembled unwittingly, but she put on a strong front and replied indifferently, “Oh? Who are you to judge? No matter how desperate I am, I will never return to you anymore.”

Meanwhile, Jackson held his chest high and announced, “Hey, I’m Skylar’s boyfriend! You should mind your words and refrain from badmouthing her!”

Jeremy was confused. He thought Skylar had forsaken Tobias after a few days and gotten into a new relationship with another chubby-looking geek. She was merely a step away from becoming a member of the upper echelon.

However, he thought Jackson and Skylar were a pair made in heaven due to their matching look.

Jeremy ridiculed the duo, “You know what? Both of you are such great matches for one another! It’s like the dwarf and the ugly duckling!”

He leaned over and whispered, “Have you forgotten my warning? Your life will end up miserably if you get into a relationship with a man of such complicated background? I guess I wasn’t wrong at all! You should have listened to me! If you did, you wouldn’t have settled for less with such a dwarf! Congratulations! I guess this is the best out of the worst possible outcomes, isn’t it?”

Skylar smirked in return and rebuked, “So what if he’s a dwarf? A dwarf is better than a jerk!”

She turned to enter the building after her words without looking back, leaving Jeremy and Jackson at the entrance.

Jeremy found Skylar hilarious and pathetic. He thought Tobias had abandoned her after he had had enough of an ordinary woman. He misperceived she had gotten into a relationship with Jackson because she had run out of options.

After Skylar got off her class, she couldn’t believe her eyes because Jackson was still around, waiting for her outside of the classroom.

She felt a chill running down her spine and dashed off in another direction to stay away from him.

What the hell is wrong with him? He’s even more dedicated than Tobias’ bodyguards!

…

In the meantime, Tobias, who had returned, found the so-called invitation card to Skylar and Jackson’s wedding ceremony on his table in the study room.

His pupils constricted while he frowned and walked down the stairs with the invitation card.

Along with Tanya and her parents, Claudia joined the family of three for a cup of tea, catching up with one another casually.
