In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 256

Skylar placed her bag on the wooden chair and rested her chin on her hands 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. Just look for other men if you really want to have a man.”

Miranda frowned and took a glance at Skylar. “I went to prison back then, but now, everything’s different. I’ll take back everything he owes me. 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 abandon his 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 she was 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 to death in the past when I visited you with Grandma, and you’re displeased that I’m not a boy. What happened to you?”

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

Miranda placed her hand on her daughter’s shoulders and said seriously, “I have my pride to uphold, and I don’t want my daughter to think I’m miserable. I was depressed in the prison, always thinking of going out and hoping to see the outside world again one day. And I received a chance to go on medical parole, so I grasped it and pretended to be crazy. I was a little sick in the head, but it wasn’t too serious to the point of losing my mind. It’s just that the doctors kept giving me tranquilizers and antidepressants.”

Miranda’s answer completely demolished Skylar’s opinion of her. It seemed her mom wasn’t hopelessly romantic but full of schemes.

However, Skylar felt that something was fishy behind Miranda’s release from the prison. Miranda’s mental condition isn’t severe enough for her to be on medical parole, and it isn’t easy to exploit loopholes of the law. How did she break out from the prison so easily? I don’t think pretending to be crazy can achieve this.
