In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 256

Skylar placed her bag on the wooden chair and rested her chin on herhands while looking at Miranda, who was immersed in her own beauty.“Are you sure he’s on a business trip? Maybe he’s hiding from you. Justlook for other men if you really want to have a man.”

Miranda frowned and took a glance at Skylar. “I went to prison backthen, but now, everything's different. I'll take back everything he owesme. It's time for us three to have a reunion.”

Skylar felt there must be some secret between Miranda and Thomas,seeing as how Miranda was so confident that the latter would abandonhis family to be together with her.

In Skylar's opinion, Miranda was more or less daydreaming.

She looked at Miranda curiously and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if shewas talking about others’ matters, even if it actually traumatized her.She said, “Why do I feel that you've changed? You used to hate me todeath in the past when I visited you with Grandma, and you'redispleased that I'm not a boy. What happened to you?”

After voicing out her doubts, the tension in her heart was released, andshe felt relaxed. Miranda's change was unbelievable and odd.

Miranda placed her hand on her daughter's shoulders and saidseriously, “I have my pride to uphold, and I don't want my daughter tothink I'm miserable. I was depressed in the prison, always thinking ofgoing out and hoping to see the outside world again one day. And Ireceived a chance to go on medical parole, so I grasped it andpretended to be crazy. I was a little sick in the head, but it wasn't tooserious to the point of losing my mind. It's just that the doctors keptgiving me tranquilizers and antidepressants.”

Miranda's answer completely demolished Skylar's opinion of her. Itseemed her mom wasn't hopelessly romantic but full of schemes.However, Skylar felt that something was fishy behind Miranda's releasefrom the prison. Miranda's mental condition isn't severe enough for herto be on medical parole, and it isn't easy to exploit loopholes of thelaw. How did she break out from the prison so easily? I don’t thinkpretending to be crazy can achieve this.

Could it be Tobias was secretly helping her?

Then why didn't he tell me anything?

Walls have ears. Miranda's words were heard by the people eating meatfondue next door.

In a careful manner, Sharon deliberately locked the door and loweredher voice. “No wonder Miranda's out of the prison so fast. She'spretending to be sick!”

Wesley said nothing as he continued to cook the meat, all the whilestaring at the pot.

Looking at his cowardly behavior, Sharon was utterly furious. “I'mtalking to you! When do you think she'll leave? We're not some charityorganization, offering people a place to live.”

Wesley sighed and said helplessly, “What do you want me to do? Momdidn't leave the house to Skylar, but she didn't remove Miranda's name,so half of this house belongs to her. I can't possibly kick her out. If youreally want to say it, then go ahead.”

Sharon was so enraged that she almost flipped the table, but she didn'tdare to make too much noise as it might attract Miranda's attention. “Ican't do that. Miranda killed someone before! Do you want your wife todie in her hands?”

Eva drank a sip of fruit juice to ease the spiciness and raised a brow.“Why are you guys fighting over this? She's on medical parole, butgetting discharged doesn’t mean she is free from her punishment. Theyare so foolish. Aunt Miranda is sentenced to life imprisonment and aftershe’s released, she'll be in her seventies or eighties. So, she shouldn't behere now. Don't you guys understand?”

Sharon and Wesley exchanged glances, and it was as clear as day thatthey didn't understand what their daughter was hinting at.
