Skylar understood what Tobias was trying to say and was certain that things would end badly for Penelope.
However, there was little she could do as Penelope had sunken too deep into the relationship.
It wasn’t like she could force Penelope to get an abortion.
Meanwhile, Penelope had been waiting at the hospital entrance for Skylar. When she saw Skylar in sunglasses and a face mask, she could hardly recognize her despite knowing her so well.
“Why are you dressed like a spy?”
Skylar even scanned her surroundings to see if anyone recognized her. She lamented, “What if someone takes a picture of me at the maternity ward and spreads rumors of me being pregnant? I’m still a budding actress who hasn’t lived up to my potential yet. Are you going to let me fade away just like that? Hence, it’s better I keep a low profile.”
Penelope clicked her tongue. “You’re not that famous yet. You’re just a second-rate actress; hardly anyone recognizes you when we go out.”
Skylar patted Penelope on her shoulder. “My dear, you are overestimating my capabilities. I’m not a second-rate actress. I’m actually third-rate.”
Penelope was appreciative of Skylar’s company. It did wonders for her nerves. She had been really stressed out during her pregnancy.
She was worried that something would happen to the baby. Given that it was a boy, she intended it to be her trump card.
She expected Brayden to love her more because she bore him a son.
Watching Penelope saunter down the corridor with her pregnant tummy, Skylar couldn’t imagine herself as a mother.
But it was going to be some time before she even got pregnant. After Penelope went in, Skylar sat on the bench along the corridor.
While waiting, she downloaded an app that could predict how one’s baby looked like. She then uploaded her own photo together with one she took of Tobias without his knowledge to generate the image of their future baby.
It generated a picture of a baby with an angelic face. Although the app was just meant for fun, she felt a sense of bitterness in her heart while looking at it.
