In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 237

"That was because he was worried that you'd just waste it. You think my family cared about such a small amount?”

Eva's response made Skylar snicker. “It really seemed like they cared a lot though. Your mother took everything Grandma left behind after all.” Eva immediately gave Skylar a threatening stare, and look sheepishly towards her boyfriend. “My cousin really likes to spew nonsense.”

“It's alright. She just a kid after all.” Her boyfriend laughed.

Before they reached the old manor, Skylar realized that she did not tell Tobias that she would be returning late that night. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Skylar: I'm having dinner with my family tonight.

She sent out her message and got a reply from Tobias after around ten minutes.

Tobias: Which home? You want to have dinner with me?”

Skylar: At my uncle's. Having dinner with a whole bunch of relatives, and my mom.

Tobias: Am I not invited?

Skylar: Emmm... I don't think so.

Tobias: Have fun then.

When they arrived at the house, Skylar tossed her phone into the counterfeited bag Eva talked about. Miranda was standing at the door and welcomed Eva as passionately as possible.

Skylar had heard that, before Miranda went to jail, she was an aunt that took extreme care of her niece.

“Our Eva looks so polished and beautiful now. Is this your boyfriend? What a handsome man.”

However, Miranda's warm welcome was met with Eva's cold shoulder. Even Skylar felt a little awkward watching their interaction.

Eva's boyfriend's name was David Johnson, a generic name to say the least. He was a civil servant whereas both his parents were university lecturers, a scholarly family.

Skylar's aunt, Sharon, would always be boastful whenever her daughter was mentioned while she threw some shade at Skylar as well.

The whole house was really lively as all the relatives were gathered together. Having said that, Sharon only showed a smile when she saw Eva and David. Most of the time, she would look really gloomy.

While everyone was mingling around, Skylar went to sit beside Miranda and whispered to her, “Why did you want me to come? I don't really need this meal. By the way, can you just change that stupid habit of yours where you call someone nonstop no matter the situation.” “Family should always come together like this. Look at how lively it is! Why don’t you just bear with it.” Miranda rolled her eyes at Skylar.

At this point, the way Wesley and Sharon treated Skylar had certainly improved a bit, but they still had doubts regarding Skylar's relationship with Tobias. To them, the prominent businessman having a normal relationship with Skylar just sounded like a huge joke.

Besides, since what happened last time, no one heard anything about Skylar having a boyfriend

“Your niece might have just been a victim to the rich people's game and got left behind,” Sharon told Wesley.

Wesley could not care less about what his wife was talking about. The only things on his mind were how he was still unemployed as well as how his older sister just came back as if nothing happened. The best part was she lived there without showing any signs of shame nor guilt. To top it off, no one dared go against her.

Previously, Wesley was told that Miranda had gone insane. The situation now however, made Wesley feel like he was the one going insane as Miranda seemed as normal as she could possibly be.

On the other hand, Skylar started getting hungry the more she looked at the table filled with food. Since I'm already here, might as well dig in. She picked up a piece of duck meat and started chewing away, noticing that the meat was dry and hard to bite through. This was definitely

a cheap duck.

One of the aunts saw that Skylar was eating the duck, so she immediately picked up the drumstick of the duck and placed it into Eva's bowl. It was like they were afraid that Skylar would grab the drumstick for herself.

Meanwhile, everyone's attention was once again focused on Eva.

“Eva, is it true that you're staying here for good this time? Have you settled all the work related issues?”

“When are you planning to get married? David here looks like he would be a fine husband.”

“Back then, I've always said that, out of all the children, you are the one who is going to shine the brightest.”

“Skylar, what have you been up to lately?” Eventually, one of the relatives’ attention went Skylar's way.

At the moment, Skylar still had a meatball in her mouth as she raised her head. “Haha, nothing much. Just some meaningless work.”
