In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 140

Tobias noticed the worry written on Skylar’s face. An unobtrusive smile appeared on his face as he said, “You’re the owner here. Give me your identity card later. I’ll transfer the ownership to your name.”

Skylar swallowed thickly. This gift is even more extravagant than a black card.

Shaking her head, she questioned, “Are you throwing your money at me?”

A trace of incredulity flashed across Tobias’ eyes. He furrowed his brows and deepened his voice. “Can’t I? Isn’t this every woman’s dream?”

When he relaxed his brows and seemed less unapproachable, Skylar reached out and took the keys from him. Then, thinking that this gift was nothing but a hot potato, she threw the keys back to him.

“It’s too expensive. I can’t take it. I’m afraid I might die from all the money being thrown at me.”

Turning back to the front, his signature cold expression slipped back into place. “Unlikely. You’d be stuffed to death at most.”

As they entered the villa, Skylar half-expected to see someone like Laura who was tasked to take care of the place, but she was only greeted by silence.

This villa wasn’t very big, but the decor was exquisite and screamed money. A winding mahogany staircase connected the floors, and there was an antique touch to the entire place, exuding a retro vibe. It looked like a beachside villa people often saw in movies.

Drawing in a long breath, she noticed two pairs of matching indoor slippers, one pink and one grey, neatly placed on the shoe rack. She gingerly changed into the slippers and stood in the living room with her eyes darting around the place.

Speaking of this, Skylar suddenly felt ashamed as she recalled what the influencer lookalike Sheldon brought along the other day had said to her. Us girls should have more class when choosing the food we consume. She had even said it while looking down her nose at her.

Needless to say, she wished to be classy too, but she could barely make ends meet, so it was out of the question.

Before going to university, she never had meat fondue before because she couldn’t afford it.

After closing the refrigerator, Tobias locked eyes with Skylar. His gaze was gentle and bewitching when he chided her, “Your life is an absolute disaster. Learn how to cook from now on! I’m not planning to hire a servant here. Having others around gets annoying.”

Skylar averted her gaze and looked slightly uncomfortable. He seems to think it’s a woman’s job to cook. Typical male chauvinist. Why can’t he learn to cook too?
