In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 451

Skylar smirked hearing his words. “I don’t need you to do that. I’m financially independent now.”

“Really?” Tobias looked at her from the corner of his eyes as he held out the purchase contract.

“The house is about ten thousand square feet and the garden is seven thousand square feet. It’s in the city center. It’s just been renovated, so your mom can move in right away. The only condition is that you have to pay in full amount.”

Skylar stared at him with her eyes wide like saucers. She had not even looked at the house and here Tobias was, asking her to sign the contract.

The address shown on the contract was indeed at the heart of the city. If the price was two thousand and two hundred per square foot, it meant Skylar had to pay twenty-two million before tax.

She gave the contract back to Tobias, shaking her head. “I’ll just go hire an agent and look for a house. I can’t afford a house like this, what more when I have to pay everything up front.”

“Hold your horses. I’m not done yet,” Tobias interrupted, “The full amount is three point two million. You have to make a one-off payment and you can put the house under whoever’s name you like.”

Tobias had everything within his calculation. He knew Skylar had three point three million in her bank. He had everything planned out in such a way that she would still have one hundred thousand left in her bank, but Skylar was still not buying it.

“You’re not even selling me the house at a discount, you’re giving it to me, so I won’t take it. My mom doesn’t need such a big house anyway, so I won’t sign this contract.”

Tobias had expected that Skylar would turn him down, so he went forward and put his arm around her shoulder. “Well, you can either buy the house yourself, or I can go and convince your mother to buy it. Then, she’ll have to take up a whole load of loan on her own.”

“Seriously, what are you trying to do? Why not you just give me the house without charging me anything then? What’s the point of sucking me dry so you can control my life?”

Tobias did not tell her the reason why he wanted to charge her for the house. Despite the amount being minuscule, he was still asking her to pay because he did not want to hurt her ego.
