Chapter 542
Chapter 542
Skylar had to accept the fact that Miranda behaved like a nouveau riche now. Not only was she staying
in a villa, but she also had housekeepers working for her.
Skylar totally understood why Miranda was willing to spend her money on these. After all, anyone would
dream of living a stress-free life at this age.
But Skylar did not know how to react when Miranda said she only drank imported premium bottled water
because she believed the water from the tap was full of contaminants.
Did she learn this nonsense when she was in prison? Even if her logic made sense, why can’t she drink
locally manufactured bottled water?
The thought of it got Skylar speechless.
Miranda continued to diss Skylar, “Could it be your personality problem? Are you not worried that your
boyfriend has no intention of marrying you?”
Listening to her know-it-all blabber about marriage gave Skylar a headache.
She ignored Miranda and went upstairs to get her clothes changed. It was when Madelyn told her dinner
was ready that she decided to come out of the room.
Madelyn had prepared not only pumpkin soup but also BBQ ribs and a plate of sautéed vegetables!
Yet, Miranda was not pleased about it. “You expect us to eat three dishes only? I know Skylar is a nice
person, but how could you treat her like this?”
Madelyn contained her frustration and looked at Skylar for help.
Skylar stepped in and explained, “Three dishes are just nice. Otherwise, we’ll just be wasting food. When
I was growing up, Grandma used to heat up leftovers for us too. I don’t see any problem with it.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Miranda pursed her lips and gave Skylar a sullen stare. This girl doesn’t respect my opinion at all.
Skylar diverted her attention to another topic. “I met Molly at the studio today. Do you remember her,
Molly Zimmer? She used to be our neighbor.”
Miranda froze for a bit and nearly dropped her fork. “That’s the girl who liked to wear dresses with floral
print, right?”
A line formed between Skylar’s brows. What’s with her odd reaction when I mentioned Molly’s name?
She felt there was something amiss with Miranda. Ever since she got out of the prison, she seemed to
have been pestering Thomas.
Miranda was so obsessed with him as if he was the only man in the world. She even forced Thomas to
file for a divorce from Irene.
Yet, it had been a while since Skylar last heard his name mentioned by her. Skylar also found it weird
that Miranda seemed to be wearing dresses that were in pastel colors. It was as if she was dressing like
a young adult again.
It’s either Miranda had gotten over with her obsession, or she had found a new target.
Skylar asked, “Are you in love with someone lately?”
Miranda almost choked on the pumpkin soup. “Excuse me. Why are you so curious? Just mind your
business.”
“I’m not going to stop you from pursuing a relationship,” Skylar warned, “But please choose your man
wisely.”
Miranda ignored her and took a sip of the soup.
When they were about to finish dinner, Tobias arrived. Skylar took a glance at the leftovers on the table
and said, “You didn’t say you’re coming.”
The moment Miranda saw Tobias, she instantly put on a smile. She could not help but think how
fortunate Skylar was to have met him.
Deep in her heart, Miranda thought an elite like Tobias deserved someone better than Skylar.
Skylar didn’t come from a prominent family, and she’s such a dork when it comes to pleasing her man.
On top of that, this girl doesn’t like to smile and is constantly emotionally distant. I bet she’ll make Tobias
happy if she calls him honey in a sweet voice.
Tobias responded with a grin. “I’ve taken my dinner. Please continue.”
