Skylar had to accept the fact that Miranda behaved like a nouveau riche now. Not only was she staying in a villa, but she also had housekeepers working for her.
Skylar totally understood why Miranda was willing to spend her money on these. After all, anyone would dream of living a stress-free life at this age.
But Skylar did not know how to react when Miranda said she only drank imported premium bottled water because she believed the water from the tap was full of contaminants.
Did she learn this nonsense when she was in prison? Even if her logic made sense, why can’t she drink locally manufactured bottled water?
The thought of it got Skylar speechless.
Miranda continued to diss Skylar, “Could it be your personality problem? Are you not worried that your boyfriend has no intention of marrying you?”
Listening to her know-it-all blabber about marriage gave Skylar a headache.
She ignored Miranda and went upstairs to get her clothes changed. It was when Madelyn told her dinner was ready that she decided to come out of the room.
Madelyn had prepared not only pumpkin soup but also BBQ ribs and a plate of sautéed vegetables!
Yet, Miranda was not pleased about it. “You expect us to eat three dishes only? I know Skylar is a nice person, but how could you treat her like this?”
Madelyn contained her frustration and looked at Skylar for help.
Skylar stepped in and explained, “Three dishes are just nice. Otherwise, we’ll just be wasting food. When I was growing up, Grandma used to heat up leftovers for us too. I don’t see any problem with it.”
Miranda pursed her lips and gave Skylar a sullen stare. This girl doesn’t respect my opinion at all.
Skylar diverted her attention to another topic. “I met Molly at the studio today. Do you remember her, Molly Zimmer? She used to be our neighbor.”
Miranda froze for a bit and nearly dropped her fork. “That’s the girl who liked to wear dresses with floral print, right?”
