Chapter 73
When Skr realized that Tobias was still shamelessly sticking to her, she felt like bursting into tears.
Without a choice, she led Tobias out of school. Since she had barely any money left, they could only
afford a budget hotel near the school.
Lucky for them, such hotels were abundant nearby.

Since Tobias had imed that he wasn’t particr, she led him around the small alleyways before
arriving in front of a hotel with a red sign.
The neon sign at the entrance was broken while the ss door looked smudgy. Furthermore, the whole
ce was covered in dust.
Tobias held onto Skr’s wrist and gave her a suspicious look.
“Baby, are you sure you want to stay here?”
Skr looked at the price on the neon sign. “Sixty for a night. I don’t think you canin as my
budget previously was only thirty.”
Tobias had not imagined that one day he would be in such dire circumstances together with Skr.
The moment they opened the door, a moldy smell filled their noses, causing Tobias to retch.
The owner shot them a disinterested nce and quipped, “Show me your ID.”
After Tobias handed over his, Skr gave him a suspicious look. “Didn’t you say that you lost your wallet
and cards? Why do you still have your ID?”
Tobias repeated her words, “Didn’t you just mention card and wallet yourself?”
Skr was speechless. All she wanted was to do was quickly settle the pampered Tobias in. After that,
she nned to spend the night at a cybercafé.
After the owner checked both their IDs, he collected payment from Skr for the room.
Tobias was finishing off whatever little money she had left.
The owner mocked, “Miss, your boyfriend is so much older than you. How can he expect you to pay for
the room?”
Skr retorted, “He ims that he lost his wallet but who knows if it’s true.”
The owner nced at him with disdain. Although he is handsome, he is a real miser to not pay for the
room.
Despite being thirty, he can only afford toe here with his young girlfriend. What a failure.
But somehow, he does look like a boss.
Tobias red at the nosy owner and snapped, “You should mind your own business.”
The owner was jolted by Tobias’ angry gaze. He is really quick to temper. Only good-for-nothings will
have a bad-tempered!
Afterpleting the registration, Tobias waited for Skr to go up with him. He even asked the owner for
a roll of toilet paper.
Anyone in the industry would know what was going to happen that night.
“You stay here while I’m going off. Tomorrow, you will have to figure out how to go home yourself.”
Feeling that she had done what was required of her, Skr prepared to leave.
Frowning, Tobias snorted, “I’m scared to stay here alone.”
Skr felt as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. Tobias iming that he is afraid!
When they were at Elysium, Cam told her that Tobias could kill someone as if he was squashing an
ant. How can one whose hands are stained with blood pretend to be a coward?
Skr retorted, “I’m scared when I’m with you.”
In his heart, the owner sympathized with Skr. Men do have a lot of ways to cheat little girls like her.
Just when she opened the door to leave, she heard Tobias call out her name. However, she didn’t look
back.
“Your mom’s medical fees are due tomorrow!”
His words struck a nerve with Skr. She stopped in her tracks and had no strength to take another
step.
Seething, she turned around and followed Tobias up the narrow and rickety staircase.
After Tobias entered the room, she stopped at the door with her arms folded. She eximed defiantly,
“I’ve already told you that I will ept your help for one more month. After that, I will think of a way to
pay for my mom’s medical fees.”
Tobias’ expression recovered its usual frostiness. “Are you rejecting me? Even if you said it, it doesn’t
mean that I ept. Furthermore, it’s not like I’m a good person anyway.”
