In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 223

Tobias shove it into her hands.

Upon returning to the hotel, Skylar saw a heap loads of shopping bagson the bed while Miranda was admiring her skirt in front of the mirror.Even though it was middle of the night, she had painted her lipscrimson red. The color was so dark that others would have thought thatshe had eaten a child alive.

Skylar couldn't figure out how Miranda ended up being on medicalparole. She didn't look mentally unstable at all, let alone depression.Furthermore, she was all dolled up and her fashion sense was evenmore daring than a teenager.

“Why did you come back so late?” Miranda smacked her lips andadmired the lipstick color in the mirror before taking a glance at Skylar.“I was out for work purposes. I looked for my agent to replace out if therewere any job notices.” Skylar stared at the luxury goods on the bed andcame to realize that Miranda had a really expensive taste when it cameto shopping.

Miranda knew Skylar had attended a film academy and said, “I don'tthink you'll succeed in this industry. Look at our family— do you thinkany of us has the talent to succeed in this career? Based on myobservation, you're stubborn, soft and gentle, so how would you fit in? Ithink it'll be better if you live a simple life, replace a reliable man and marryhim. That's how you should spend your life. Look at the man who gaveme his card—how sensible of him.”

Skylar looked at the mirror while removing her earrings habitually. Shehad only pierced her ears twice during middle school when Penelopeand her went to the mall.

According to her, one would become a woman the next life if they hadtheir ears pierced. She started regretting it because being a woman wastoo difficult.

“I'll settle my own matters. Isn't it too late for you to start caring now?”Skylar took a glance at Miranda who was still staring at the mirror.

She retaliated since it wasn't too difficult for her to do so.

Right after, she placed the key on the table and said, “From now on,you can stay here. I'll come and visit you frequently. I don't think it'swise for us to live together.”

Skylar managed to replace a new place in a short period of time butMiranda didn’t have the intention to move in. “I'll go stay with yourUncle Wesley. Half of the house is mine and I'm comfortable stayingthere.”

“But Uncle Wesley does not welcome you.” Skylar's eyebrows furrowed.Miranda snickered. “Half of the house belongs to me, and I'll move ineven if he doesn't welcome me. We'll see what reason they'll come upwith to drive me away.”

Skylar used to hear from her Grandma that Uncle Wesley was afraid ofher mother. Ever since they were kids, he was constantly beaten up byMiranda.

Skylar was fine with it if Miranda wanted to move in to that housebecause she wouldn't need to owe Tobias even more then.

As she wasn't used to sleeping in the same bed as Miranda, she huggedher pillow and was getting ready to shift to the sofa.

Miranda patted the bed and said, “The bed is so huge. Isn't thereenough room for you to sleep?”

Skylar plopped her pillow onto the sofa. “I'm not used to sleeping withsomeone else, I'll sleep on the sofa tonight.”

Miranda uttered, “You're being hypocritical. So are you going to sleepin separate beds with your man too?”

Skylar glared at Miranda. Both of them didn’t have the best way ofcommunicating as she didn’t show respect for elders and Mirandahadn't been acting like an adult either.

She was acting as if she was in her early twenties, a young girl whoacted solely based on her interests.

After sleeping on the sofa for one night, she woke up the next morningwith an acute pain around her waist and her back. It felt as if someonehad trampled all around her.

After she showered and without waiting for Miranda, she put on abaseball cap in front of the mirror and straightened it.

She made sure everything was alright before grabbing her bag andwent out.

There wasn't much time left for the commercial audition. She valued itvery much as it was her first.

Miranda was still fast asleep and snoring loudly when Skylar left theroom.
