Skylar cooked a bowl of pasta for Penelope in case she had not eaten anything yet that night. She’s pregnant now; she needs to take good care of herself for as long as that baby’s in her belly.
“Brayden has gotten in touch with me. He says it’s up to me to keep the baby or not. My parents have been bugging me about the father’s identity ever since they found out that I was pregnant. However, I can’t reveal the truth.”
Penelope frowned after swallowing some pasta.
Skylar looked at her in disappointment. “You knew Brayden was married, right? And you know the complications of having a baby out of wedlock. He’s got his own family too. I think you should go for an abortion. I’ll accompany you to the procedure.”
Penelope had been in shock the past few days herself. She had found out from Brayden that Skylar’s mysterious partner was Tobias.
The CEO of the invincible Ford Group is single.
To think I was worried that Skylar might be fooled by Tobias. She could not help but laugh at her past ignorance. Skylar will never draw the short end of the stick if she’s with a man like Tobias. Even if they split up, she’ll earn herself a pretty penny. I’d have to worry about myself first.
Penelope did not want to abort the baby. She replied to Skylar, “Well, he can always get a divorce. I’m younger and prettier than that wife of his anyway. This baby is my trump card. I’ve always said that I’m going to marry into a rich family. Now the opportunity’s right in front of my eyes; I can’t just let it slip by. Skylar, you can stop talking me out of this.”
As they chatted in the living room, there was the sound of a car parking in the driveway.
Penelope glanced at Skylar nervously as she wondered about the identity of this late guest.
The key turned in the lock of the front door. Skylar approached the door as Tobias walked in. A gush of cold wind followed him into the room.
