Tobias shove it into her hands.
Upon returning to the hotel, Skylar saw a heap loads of shopping bags on the bed while Miranda was
admiring her skirt in front of the mirror.
Even though it was middle of the night, she had painted her lips crimson red. The color was so dark
that others would have thought that she had eaten a child alive.
Skylar couldn’t figure out how Miranda ended up being on medical parole. She didn’t look mentally
unstable at all, let alone depression. Furthermore, she was all dolled up and her fashion sense was
even more daring than a teenager.
“Why did you come back so late?” Miranda smacked her lips and admired the lipstick color in the mirror
before taking a glance at Skylar.
“I was out for work purposes. I looked for my agent to find out if there were any job notices.” Skylar
stared at the luxury goods on the bed and came to realize that Miranda had a really expensive taste
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhen it came to shopping.
Miranda knew Skylar had attended a film academy and said, “I don’t think you’ll succeed in this
industry. Look at our family— do you think any of us has the talent to succeed in this career? Based on
my observation, you’re stubborn, soft and gentle, so how would you fit in? I think it’ll be better if you live
a simple life, find a reliable man and marry him. That’s how you should spend your life. Look at the man
who gave me his card—how sensible of him.”
Skylar looked at the mirror while removing her earrings habitually. She had only pierced her ears twice
during middle school when Penelope and her went to the mall.
According to her, one would become a woman the next life if they had their ears pierced. She started
regretting it because being a woman was too difficult.
“I’ll settle my own matters. Isn’t it too late for you to start caring now?” Skylar took a glance at Miranda
who was still staring at the mirror.
She retaliated since it wasn’t too difficult for her to do so.
Right after, she placed the key on the table and said, “From now on, you can stay here. I’ll come and
visit you frequently. I don’t think it’s wise for us to live together.”
Skylar managed to find a new place in a short period of time but Miranda didn’t have the intention to
move in. “I’ll go stay with your Uncle Wesley. Half of the house is mine and I’m comfortable staying
there.”
“But Uncle Wesley does not welcome you.” Skylar’s eyebrows furrowed.
Miranda snickered. “Half of the house belongs to me, and I’ll move in even if he doesn’t welcome me.
We’ll see what reason they’ll come up with to drive me away.”
Skylar used to hear from her Grandma that Uncle Wesley was afraid of her mother. Ever since they
were kids, he was constantly beaten up by Miranda.
Skylar was fine with it if Miranda wanted to move in to that house because she wouldn’t need to owe
Tobias even more then.
As she wasn’t used to sleeping in the same bed as Miranda, she hugged her pillow and was getting
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmready to shift to the sofa.
Miranda patted the bed and said, “The bed is so huge. Isn’t there enough room for you to sleep?”
Skylar plopped her pillow onto the sofa. “I’m not used to sleeping with someone else, I’ll sleep on the
sofa tonight.”
Miranda uttered, “You’re being hypocritical. So are you going to sleep in separate beds with your man
too?”
Skylar glared at Miranda. Both of them didn’t have the best way of communicating as she didn’t show
respect for elders and Miranda hadn’t been acting like an adult either.
She was acting as if she was in her early twenties, a young girl who acted solely based on her
interests.
After sleeping on the sofa for one night, she woke up the next morning with an acute pain around her
waist and her back. It felt as if someone had trampled all around her.
After she showered and without waiting for Miranda, she put on a baseball cap in front of the mirror and
straightened it.
She made sure everything was alright before grabbing her bag and went out.
There wasn’t much time left for the commercial audition. She valued it very much as it was her first.
Miranda was still fast asleep and snoring loudly when Skylar left the room.
