In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 450

After what Penelope had been through, she had lost all trust in men. She did not even think Tobias and Skylar’s relationship would last.

“Whatever, I don’t really care. I can’t have a child now that my career is starting to take off. Only celebrities who are really famous can afford to get married and have a family. People like me still need to maintain an image in public.”

Penelope nodded in agreement. It was not easy for Skylar to be where she was today. If she had a child now, it would be the end of her career, but what worried Penelope was Tobias.

He never once talked about making their relationship official. Penelope did not want her friend to end up like her. If Tobias turned his back against her after she was with a child, Skylar would be the one who lost everything.

Skylar left after a short visit. She saw Sharon talking to the neighbors when she passed her uncle’s house. It was easy as pie for Skylar to guess what they were talking about. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Sharon would either be talking about cars, houses, her perfect daughter, or Skylar herself and how she was still a little-known actress.

Skylar turned and left through another way.

She finally convinced herself to buy the house for Miranda the moment she saw Sharon bragging with her neighbor.

Skylar knew people looked at her mother differently ever since she came out of prison.

Thomas obviously loathed her presence, and Miranda was completely clueless about it. She still thought they would get married again.

It was not like Skylar really wanted anything to do with Miranda. She just thought that Miranda was pathetic.

Although she had no idea what happened back then, she knew enough to know that it was not entirely Miranda’s fault that she ended up in jail. She wasted her youth behind bars for years for someone who did not even cherish her.

Even after she was released, Thomas still set her up after all she had been through. Although Miranda might sound cold, Skylar knew she would not do anything to reveal what actually happened then.

Not long after she left Penelopes’s house, Skylar bumped into Tobias. Since he did not get to have lunch with Skylar, he came over so they could have dinner together.

Skylar stopped and eyed him from top to toe when she saw him.

On usual days, he would be immaculately dressed, but he was dressed in a black shirt and denim jeans today. She could even see some dust on his black shirt.

This was the first time he appeared before her so unkempt.

“Were you building houses at the site?” she asked, passing him a packet of wet tissue.

“Well, I have to. I still have to make a living to feed you.”
