In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 290

Hannah signed the notice on behalf of Skylar, yet she didn’t want totake responsibility for the latter. Therefore, Hannah fished out Skylar'sphone from her bag.

She scrolled through the contact list and found a contact labeled“Mom”. Without hesitation, she called the number.

Right then, Miranda was seated in a well-decorated restaurant with asplendid environment. She looked elegant and graceful. Her face wasflushing red as she gazed at her old flame affectionately. It had been along time since she last met the man.

In contrast to Miranda's passion, Thomas didn’t show any excitementabout their rendezvous. Instead, he pursed his lips tightly and had aserious look on his face.

“Come and live with us, Thomas. You're running out of time. You haveto move in by this month.” Miranda swirled the glass of wine gentlywhile looking at the garnet red liquid casually.

Hearing her words, Thomas was in a tight spot. “I'm not ready to talk toIrene about it. She'll definitely make a fuss. Besides, my children won'taccept it either. Let's take some time and think it through, shall we?” hecarefully asked.

Miranda drank up her wine and her eyes turned grim. “Don’t you forgetwhat you had done! I was made your scapegoat and I'd suffered in jailfor so many years. You have to pay the price!” she scowled.

Hannah tried to reach Miranda, yet the latter didn't pick up her calls.Suddenly, Hannah thought of Tobias, but she was unsure whether hewould come over for Skylar.

Hannah had little experience of being an assistant, but she was nostranger to how things worked between a female star and a sponsor.The former secured the sources whereas the latter satisfied his sexualdesires. They were merely getting what they needed from each other.Hannah called up Skylar's manager, Kate. Upon receiving her call, Katerushed to the hospital. She was already in the hot water because of thetight filming schedule before she was informed about Skylar's situation.However, she didn't blame Skylar as it was something uncontrollable.In the corridor, Kate questioned Hannah, “Have you contacted herfamily? Why are you here alone?”

Hannah shook her head. “I called her mother, but no one answered. Ididn’t know who else I could reach.”

Without further ado, Kate took out her phone and called Tobias. Thatwas Skylar's best opportunity to get hold of Tobias. A strong,controlling man like Tobias Ford would feel protective towards a weakwoman. Besides, Skylar would never have to worry about hersponsorship as long as she was with Tobias. That could save up a lot ofwork on her end.

Meanwhile, Tobias was having a meal with his family. “Have you cut heroff completely?” Claudia stared at Tobias as she queried.

Ever since Tobias moved out, she could only have a meal with her sononce a week. Claudia always envisioned a happy family, with herbeloved children and grandchildren surrounding her.

However, everything was ruined. The child was gone, Tanya had gonecrazy, and Tobias had distanced himself from the family. All thesehappened because of Skylar Jones.

Tobias remained silent. He picked up the fork and knife, then elegantlycut the steak. Under this somber atmosphere, Sheldon was scrutinizingthe two of them. He was waiting for the right timing to introduceWinnie to his family.

“There are a few ladies that I want you to meet. They're all beautifulladies with decent family backgrounds. Free up some time to meetthem,” Miranda said.

Tobias paused upon hearing that. He twitched his lips indifferently, thenplaced the utensils down. “Are you setting up a blind date for me?Don't bother yourself. I don't need that.”

Claudia frowned at his cold response. “How long do you plan tocontinue this nonsense? You have to get married one day. Stop messingaround with that wretch. You're looking for a girlfriend, not a childishlittle girl. She's too young and does no good to you whatsoever. Yourfuture wife has to be a good match for you and she’s definitely not theone.”
