In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 134

Upon hearing that, a slightly strained smile crept onto Skylar’s face. Naturally, she did not buy Avery’s words. In fact, she knew that Thomas probably wished she never existed.

With reluctance, Skylar got out of the car at the residential area entrance that only seemed to bring back bad memories.

She took in a deep breath when she thought about the possibility of Miranda throwing a crazy tantrum.

After Avery knocked on the door, a servant came over to answer it.

The servant immediately took Avery’s classic LV bag from her hands while giving Skylar, the abandoned daughter, a once-over. Indifference was written all over the face of the servant, who did not even offer her a pair of indoor slippers from the shoe rack. Instead, she merely gave her some shoe covers.

Her eyes were filled with disdain as she sized Skylar up.

Having worked for the Joneses for many years, the servant had long since heard that Thomas had another child who grew up in the streets and was an unruly girl without discipline.

Meanwhile, Avery’s face beamed with excitement as she called out, “Dad, I’m back. Is the food ready? I’m starving.”

Hearing that, Thomas came out of the kitchen with an apron wrapped around his waist and gazed at Avery adoringly. “Yes, it’s ready. I was just waiting for you to come home. I cooked some honeyed pork ribs and BBQ beef ribs.”

Right after saying that, Thomas realized his mistake and quickly corrected, “I mean, I was waiting for the two of you.”

Skylar disliked Thomas’ pretentious behavior because she was aware that her presence was unwanted in this house.

“Where’s my mom? You said she’d be here,” Skylar asked.

Thomas shot a puzzled gaze at Avery.

Avery hastily explained with a tinge of guilt, “Dad asked the doctor about it. Unfortunately, your mother’s condition isn’t very stable, so she can’t come out for the time being.”

At that instant, Skylar finally agreed with Tobias’ words.

He often called her foolish and told her to use her brain. But she was refused to heed his advice and thought that he was just being judgmental.
