In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 89

When they heard a commotion upstairs, Thomas and Irene looked up at the same time.

Avery was hurling things around in the bedroom. Thomas hated himself and swore to get Skylar to apologize to Avery.

He just couldn’t accept the humiliation quietly.

Meanwhile, when Skylar realized her name was not on the notice board for staying out, she heaved a sigh of relief.

During acting class, Skylar watched intently as the teacher taught Shailene how to express herself through her gaze.

However, Shailene just couldn’t do what was required of her despite the repeated guidance of the teacher.

Shailene looked haggard recently.

In contrast to the time when she proudly declared herself as the prettiest in class, she looked vastly different then.

After class ended, Skylar went to the ladies to check her face in the mirror. As she picked a crying role earlier, her eyes were already swollen from crying too much.

But then again, it may have been caused by her volatile mood after seeing Thomas.

The role came at the perfect time as she managed to cry out all the tears she held back in the morning.

When the teacher praised her for her realistic acting, she was grateful for her luck.

After venting all her frustration from the long crying session, Skylar’s mood improved significantly.

Shailene had turned on the tap and was freshening her makeup amidst the sound of running water.

She snuck a few glances at Skylar and felt like saying something a couple of times.

Finally, she still couldn’t say it out loud despite being mentally prepared.

She wanted to ask Skylar why did she get Tobias to fire her father.

Her father had worked for the Ford Group for many years and didn’t deserve it.

He was fired just because Skylar said a few words.

Dissatisfied, her father went to the office to make a fuss, as if he were experiencing a bout of depression.

She too was puzzled as to why Tobias was together with Skylar.

She was a poor girl that needed to work part-time in the cafe for extra income.

When Skylar left the washroom, she had a habit of putting on her earphones. That way, she could keep herself isolated from all the noise.

As the song she was listening to was interrupted by the ring of her phone, Skylar answered without checking who the caller was.

She heard Wesley’s gruff voice over the line. “Skylar, come to my house for dinner tomorrow. It’s my treat.”

The last time they met, she had an argument with her uncle over her mother. Yet, that day, he was inviting her for dinner.

Hence, Skylar wondered if he was setting a trap for her.

“I’m on a diet so I don’t have an appetite.”

When Skylar declined his invitation, he sounded as if he was prepared for it. He replied with a smile, “Come over to my place as we need to talk about your mother. After all, we need to discuss it as a family.”

After hesitating for ten seconds, Skylar agreed. “I’ll try my best to make it.”

Wesley grunted in acknowledgment. “Come over at nine in the evening tomorrow. I have a big surprise for you. I’m sure you will be delighted to see it.”

Skylar wasn’t hopeful about what the surprise was. She was happy enough as long as Wesley didn’t give her a shock.

She remembered what Grandma had said. Mom loved her brother since young but she was disappointed on his attitude on the day she left prison.

Meanwhile, Skylar arrived early at the old house empty-handed. She didn’t bring any gifts at all.

When she visited Wesley’s home previously, she used to buy some fruits. However, Sharon accused her of being stingy.

Instead of being insulted for buying something, she would rather not buy anything at all.

Just when she entered Wesley’s house, she realized there were still guests around.
