In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 332

The news of Maverick’s sudden death went viral.

His death came as a sudden shock. Nevertheless, it allowed Skylar to heave a sigh of relief as she no longer had a crazy person stalking her.

Meanwhile, Skylar saw Miranda at the entrance when she returned. She was holding two big bags filled with vegetables and fruits.

When she saw Skylar, she quickly handed her the bags before stretching her arms to relieve the soreness in them. “My arms are killing me. Why are you back so late, and why are you alone? Where’s Tobias? Have the both of you broken up? I haven’t seen him in a while. He seems to be fine with leaving a young girl like you here alone.”

After receiving the bags, Skylar didn’t invite Miranda in. Just when she was about to shut the door, Miranda stuffed her leg in between the gap.

Skylar almost slammed the door on her foot. By then, she had no choice but to let Miranda in.

As Miranda hadn’t seen Tobias in a long time, she began to feel fearful. If Skylar and Tobias broke up, she wouldn’t be able to carry out Thomas’ instructions.

After putting the groceries in the kitchen, Skylar replied, “He’s busy.”

Miranda scoffed at her explanation. She felt that it was Skylar’s incompetence that had caused Tobias to grow distant.

Skylar asked, “Since you have just reconciled with that ex-husband of yours, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be striking while the iron is still hot? Stop wasting time here.”

Miranda admonished her, “That’s really rude of you. He’s your dad for goodness sake.”

Skylar squirmed as that was already her best attempt at being civil. Are you expecting me to address him as Dad?

However, she didn’t correct herself. At the same time, she gave Miranda advanced notice. “This year, I’m not going with you to Uncle Wesley’s place. I don’t feel like going anywhere.”

Miranda rejected her outright. “How can you not go? It’s a family gathering and it would be rude of you to be absent.”

Skylar asked, “What can I do to avoid it then?”

Miranda replied, “Of course, if you are going to spend it with Tobias, I will definitely support your decision.”

Skylar shrugged as she explained in a powerless tone, “Mom, you are getting ahead of yourself. Didn’t you understand a word Tobias said to you? He does not plan on getting married. In other words, he doesn’t plan to marry me at all. Who do you think I am to cling to him shamelessly? Aren’t you worried about being chased out?”
