In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 6
As one, the Lanes looked at Skylar.
To them, a poor nobody like her would never be acquainted with someone rich.
On the other hand, Skylar could not figure out Tobias’ intentions.
In the meantime, Avery grew upset, frowning as she questioned, “Who is Mr. Ford, and why did he give you a bottle of wine?”
Skylar raised her brows, huffing out a laugh. “Do you have a problem with that? Did you think I was completely friendless? Anyway, I don’t owe you an answer.”
Unsatisfied with her response, Jeremy grabbed Skylar’s wrist, his eyes flashing with anger. “What kind of people did you get involved in? I’m your boyfriend! Why didn’t I know about this?”
Furrowing her brows, Skylar flung his hand away and snapped, “Hah! How dare you question me! Apparently, there’s much I don’t know about you too!”
“This is different!” Jeremy took a deep breath.
Skylar was truly disappointed with him, but she could not muster up the courage to break things off with him just yet.
She needed time to calm down.
Grabbing her bag, she stood up and announced, “Enjoy your meal. Guess I won’t have to annoy you with my presence any longer.”
Seeing that Skylar about to leave, no one tried to stop her.
“I’ll call you later,” Jeremy curtly said.
Not wanting to seem rude, Skylar hummed a response.
Once she stepped out of the room, the dam broke, and tears flowed freely down her cheeks.
Unable to control herself, she squatted on the ground and cried her heart out.
Her bestie, Penelope, was right. Faithful men did not exist in this world.
She had done so much for Jeremy; they were supposed to get married.
In the end, he brought her sister and humiliated her in front of his entire family.
Every time, Avery would easily get what she could only dream of getting.
Today was no different; Avery had looked at her with so much disdain in her eyes, as if she were a mere speck of dust beneath her shoes.
