In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 564

Kevin was an honest boy when he was little and had no trouble at school. However, things changed dramatically when he entered high school. He would often play truant and mix with the wrong people.

When Skylar was about to leave, Sharon even looked for a property agent’s contact in front of her, to express her desperation in selling the house.

Meanwhile, Skylar caught Kevin smoking by a flower bed. He was still in his school uniform but he puffed as if he was a seasoned smoker.

Beside him, there was a young girl wearing a baseball jersey and cap. Her hair was kept short and she had a slightly plump figure.

When she saw them approaching, she pushed Kevin’s shoulder in disbelief. “You’re actually telling the truth. Skylar is your cousin indeed.”

Despite how worried his family was and his mom wallowing in despair, Kevin was smiling as if nothing had happened.

The scene provided further insight to Tobias on the subject of having children. Why should one have children when all they do is cause trouble?

Having children is a game of luck. If my son ended up like Skylar’s cousin, I would probably not be able to watch him grow up and I would have died of a heart attack before that.

Kevin looked smug as he threw his arm around the girl’s shoulder. “I told you my cousin is beautiful but you insist that I was boasting.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The girl jumped to her feet and dusted her butt. She then gave Skylar and Tobias a suspicious glare.

Hmm? If I recall correctly, Skylar had claimed that she was single during her interview. Is he her manager?

He is really charismatic and would fulfill every woman’s fantasy.

Meanwhile, Skylar had the urge to give Kevin a slap and send him back home right away. However, suppressing her anger, she asked, “Why aren’t you home? Your parents are worried sick about you and yet, you’re here dating? Do you have a conscience, Kevin? They are planning to sell the house to pay off your debt.”

Kevin wasn’t bothered with what Skylar said until her last sentence when he quickly cleared his throat to sidestep the topic.

It would be a disgrace to him if Lauren heard that his family was selling their home to pay his debts.

However, it was too late. Lauren took a deep breath of her electronic cigarette and glowered at Kevin. “Didn’t you tell me not to worry because your parents can easily find the money? Why do they need to sell the house over such a small sum of money? Don’t your family even have any savings?”

To maintain his pride, Kevin ignored the fact that Skylar was standing there and lied, “My family is buying a new home. Hence, they need to sell the old house first. Besides, we are not that poor.”

Skylar smirked at how Kevin lied through his teeth.

Looking at the girl, Skylar felt that she was materialistic despite her young age. Shouldn’t they be at the stage where love is still innocent?

Kevin declared, “Skylar, I know I messed up. Can you bail me out this time? I’m aware of how badly my parents treated you. Therefore, it’s embarrassing for me even to ask you for help. However, my exams

are coming soon. When I start work next time, I will pay you back little by little. I’ll even write you an IOU, alright?”

Filled with remorse, Kevin’s attitude was a lot more sincere than his parents’.

As it was already nightfall, Skylar began to waver. If she didn’t help, Kevin would likely hate her for life.

For a student from an ordinary family, one could still compete fairly in school. However, given how fast- paced and demanding society had become, just graduating from high school alone was no longer enough.

When Kevin sensed that Skylar was wavering, he pressed his advantage. “Skylar, give me a chance to return to a normal life. I don’t know what had gotten into me to have done such a thing. The more I lost the more I had to urge to win it back. After all, I was just one step away from turning my luck around. However, I didn’t expect the matter to turn into such a big mess.”

Tobias whispered into Skylar’s ear. “Come home with me first and I will tell you how to solve the problem. After all, you’re not thinking straight right now and won’t be able to make a sound decision.
