In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 13

After Tanya left, Flynn came back in, holding an envelope.

Tobias opened the envelope to find Skylar’s information and pictures of her when she was still a toddler.

Skylar Jones, a twenty-year-old art university dropout, was much younger than he had imagined.

She had a boyfriend, Jeremy Lane, who had also dropped out of university due to his illness.

The ghost of a smile touched the corner of Tobias’ lips as he had roughly pieced the puzzle together. So it was for Jeremy’s medical fees that Skylar had lost her virginity to me that day.

How great of her to sacrifice everything for love.

Her parents had divorced when she was three years old, and in the same year, her mother had been imprisoned for murder.

Her father was the millionaire, Thomas Jones, who had abandoned her after the divorce.

After that, Skylar had been basically living with Meredith, her maternal grandmother, since she was three years old. That was until the latter passed away when she was in her third year of high school.

After Meredith’s death, her uncle and his family had occupied the house, leaving her homeless.

In Tobias’ eyes, Skylar’s background stunk. The fact that she was still alive after encountering many unfortunate events was a miracle.

Feeding the documents on Skylar into a paper shredder, he looked out into the night sky through the window.

At the same time, Skylar had just reached home. However, she realized that the living room was in a total mess with her suitcase and personal belongings lying around.

Karen, the landlady, was sitting in the living room with her legs crossed while smoking a cigarette.

“I’ll definitely pay you the rent in a few days, Karen. I swear,” Skylar said with a warm smile on her face.

Karen took a drag on her cigarette. “As if I’ll believe that. Pay up or scram.”

With just a few pennies to her name, Skylar couldn’t tell when she could pay her rent.

“Can you make an exception this time and give me another day?” She tried to negotiate. “How am I supposed to find a place to stay at this hour?”

“You can always stay at a hotel,” Summer chimed in, raising her brows.
