In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 447

Miranda spotted the bite mark on Tobias’ neck as she sat down opposite him reluctantly. She obviously knew how he got that.

Miranda quickly retracted her gaze. “I called your uncle a few times but he didn’t pick up. I’m not sure if they’re home, but anyway, I’ll go over to their place right after breakfast.”

“They have probably blocked you already, that’s why your calls are not getting through.”

Miranda’s eyes widened in surprise. “That’s impossible. He’s my brother. Stop thinking the worst of people.”

Skylar zipped her mouth. It was no use trying to make her see the truth.

Tobias shifted his gaze between the two women as he ate. “Why don’t you just move in next door? I thought you’ve always wanted to do that?”

Anger surged in Miranda’s heart at the mention of the issue. “It’s fine. I’ll just stay with my brother for now. That stupid Thomas has only paid for a month. The landlord came and asked me to pay the rent for the next month and it is fifty thousand a month! I don’t have the money to pay for that!”

“You can just ask Skylar to buy you a house. She’s signing the contract for a film soon, so she will be able to afford a nice house. I can even give you a twenty percent off if the house is under Ford Group.”

Skylar looked at him from the corner of her eyes. What is he trying to do? I know how much money I have in my bank. Why do all the rich people act the same?

Skylar knew just how much money she had in her bank. It was true that she could afford to buy a villa, but after factoring in real estate tax and everything, she would not have much left. In fact, she might even be in debt.

She quickly put an egg on Tobias’ plate, hoping he would just shush and eat.

To her dismay, Miranda took Tobias’ suggestion seriously and a smile curved on her lips. “That’s a good idea. A house is an appreciating asset. Besides, the projects under Ford Group are all high-end. Come to think of it, it’s better I don’t stay with Wesley. It’s an old neighborhood and everyone knows me. I bet they will point fingers behind my back too. I’m already old, so I should have a home of my own. What do you think, Skylar?”

The daughter swallowed her food hard and almost choked.

“Why do you want such a huge house? You’re staying on your own.”

Not only did Tobias not keep quiet, he further fanned Miranda’s greed. “It’ll be nice to live in a huge house. Your mom will feel proud everyone knows that her daughter bought it for her. We should just settle this quick and get a house for her.”

His proposal definitely sat well with Miranda. The friends she had before she went to jail were all leading good lives. She was the only one who had nothing. None of them believed her when she told them her daughter was dating Tobias Ford.

With that in mind, Miranda decided to take up the offer.

Tobias was already done eating. He looked at the clock and wiped his mouth clean. Since he had already gotten what he wanted from Skylar, it was time he left. The company had just launched a new project, so Tobias took it on himself to go and check everything out at the site. He still did not trust Sheldon fully.

Besides, it was not like the people working there were completely trustworthy.

“Take your time to think about it. A twenty percent discount is not an offer you always come across.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
