Finally, Skylar was being recognized in the streets for the first time. A few girls were taking pictures of her with their phones.
She didn’t put on any airs. Smiling warmly, she suggested to the girls, “You should switch on the beauty filter so that I’ll look prettier in the pictures.”
Despite saying that, she was aware that they weren’t using any filters at all as there really wasn’t any need to.
Meanwhile, Penelope stood quietly by Skylar’s side as her bump grew more obvious.
Skylar had picked a restaurant with an elegant ambiance to meet. She even requested the waitress to get a pillow for Penelope to support her back with.
After having known her for a long time, Skylar had grown used to them looking out for each other.
In the past, Penelope had always taken good care of her. During meals, Penelope would generously share whatever she had brought in her lunch box.
As Skylar picked up the menu, she noticed Penelope was looking pale and weak.
“What would you like to have?”
Penelope replied, “Anything will do. My appetite has been very good lately. Yesterday, when I went for my maternity checkup, the doctor told me the baby is three months old now and it’s a boy.”
Penelope’s eyes sparkled with anticipation when she mentioned the word “boy.”
“Did he accompany you for the checkups?” What Skylar cared about the most was how Brayden was treating her.
She could understand how Penelope felt when she misunderstood her for being the third party. The indignance of seeing a friend degrading herself willingly was indescribably painful.
She had wanted to help Penelope by bringing her back to the right path. However, her advice had fallen on deaf ears as Penelope just couldn’t refuse Brayden.
