In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 619

Chapter 619 How Could A Lover Not Know

The cushions on the rattan couch were the same ones that Meredith had painstakingly sewn by hand, and the lights in the kitchen had the same antiquated switch. The only change in the house was that the family had switched to using low-watt energy-saving bulbs.

The doorknob turned, and it was Eva who had returned. The cold air gushed in as she opened the door. Winter had arrived, and the temperature was getting lower by the day. The wind was biting, especially at night.

Eva threw Skylar an intent look, watching her mouth move as she munched on the piece of carrot. Eva started to wonder what acts that mouth had performed on Tobias.

Skylar moved a little to make space for Eva, but she ignored that and turned to ask her mother, “Where is Kevin?”

“He had gone to do revision in the library,” Sharon replied as she came out of the kitchen with a set of cutlery for Eva.

Eva knew Kevin was a troublemaker and did not believe he had finally settled down and focused on his studies.

“We are talking about renovations. When we get the new house, we have to do some proper renovation. Your mom and I planned to spend the rest of our lives in the new house!” Wesley was grinning from ear to ear, rejoicing at the prospect of getting a brand new house soon.

Eva stole another look at Skylar and found that she seemed to have a nonchalant attitude toward the subject. She thought Skylar was being pretentious.

Rumors abounded about the redevelopment of their neighborhood, and everyone was speculating about it as not much information was publicly announced. Everyone had high hopes that they would soon get a windfall, and the gambling den in the town was doing brisk business because many had started spending their unearned fortunes.

“Eva, you are working in the Ford Group. Could you give me some insider information and let me know how much the compensation will be?” A relative from the same neighborhood anxiously asked Eva.

Eva casually redirected the question to Skylar by saying, “Why don’t you ask Skylar. She sleeps with my boss every day, so she should know better.”

Skylar felt awkward being put in the spotlight in that manner. Although it was a fact that she and Tobias were living together despite not being married to one another, it was an unwelcomed comment from Eva.
