In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 196

Skylar reminded her, “Your top is still unbuttoned.”

Embarrassed by what she saw, Skylar blushed.

The lady didn’t care and sneered instead, “What’s wrong with that? It provides my son food and which woman doesn’t breastfeed anyway? Do all the children in the city grow up drinking formula milk?”

Skylar didn’t know as she had never given birth before. Nevertheless, the lady stared at her as if she were malnourished. Her concern was indeed valid given how big and strong she was as compared to Skylar.

Skylar asked, “Can I give this child a treat? I’m leaving tomorrow after all.”

The lady didn’t reject her request despite her being a stranger. Instead, she added impatiently, “Just go, this girl is just so annoying. I would actually get some peace once she’s gone.”

Skylar could see that the lady favored her son as she focused all her love and attention on him.

Looking at Pollyanna, Miranda felt a rush of emotions. The phrase that Miranda repeated the most when she was young was “If only you were a boy.”

When Skylar brought Pollyanna to the film site, Kate exclaimed, “Where did you find this little girl? Her face is so dirty.”

Skylar knelt down and cleaned Pollyanna’s face with a napkin. She hardly knew how to interact with children let alone take care of them.

She just wanted to do something before she left given how pitiful Pollyanna was.

Pollyanna was obedient. She didn’t struggle as Skylar wiped her face for her.

“Skylar, do you have any children of your own? It would be wonderful to be your daughter.” Pollyanna flattered Skylar as she gave a hopeful gaze.

Skylar chuckled, “It’s still a long way before I have any children. Pollyanna, aren’t you happy?”

She shook her head. “Mommy loves my brother more. Every day, I barely have enough to eat. Skylar, can you take me back to the city? I’ll definitely be good.”

Skylar was stunned at how desperate Pollyanna wanted to leave.

When Kate saw that Skylar was tempted to do so, she shook her head with a sigh. She felt Skylar hadn’t seen enough of the world. There were loads of pitiful people out there and there was no way she could care for them all.

Kate explained to Pollyanna with a serious expression, “Your mom is still around so we can’t take you away no matter how obedient you are.”

With tears welling up in her eyes, Pollyanna lowered her head as if she had done something terribly wrong.

Skylar sighed and added, “I will come and visit often, alright? For today, I’ll take you out to the nearby town and buy you some beautiful tops and dresses.”

Pollyanna wiped off her tears in response.

Kate asked Skylar in concern, “Will you be alright taking a child out by yourself? I better come along.”

When Skylar saw Pollyanna looked at Kate fearfully, she knew she was afraid of Kate.

She replied, “I’ll be fine. She’s a good girl.”

When Kai heard about it, he offered to be their driver and wanted to tag along.

Pollyanna was delighted when she saw such a handsome man joining them.

After an hour’s drive, they arrived at the nearest town. Skylar took Pollyanna to a children’s clothing shop.

It was the first time Pollyanna saw such beautiful dresses in her whole life and kept exclaiming how pretty they were.

It was also the first time Skylar shopped without restraint and she finally got to experience the rush of splurging. Whichever dress Pollyanna liked, she would ask the owner to wrap it up.

It turned out that Pollyanna liked almost every single piece of clothing in the shop.

Kai wondered if kids nowadays were a lot smarter and knew how to take advantage of others. If he were in Pollyanna’s shoes, he wouldn’t have dared accept a single dress.

He remembered that his aunt gifted him a Porsche for his eighteenth birthday. That was when he just returned to the country and also met Tobias for the first time.

During his birthday party in a hotel, he saw Tobias holding a gun through a gap in the door to a private room. The cold barrel of the gun was pointed at one of his close friends.

A bang rang out and that was how he lost his best friend.
