Hearing Penelope’s words, Skylar’s mouth twitched. This is not good. She almost burned the whole house down during her previous cooking lesson with me.
“Oh, by the way, what should we name our baby? Help me think of a name, darling.”
Surprised, Skylar choked on her water. She even calls him darling now?
How can she say it out loud so blatantly? I’ve only ever called Tobias darling once or twice on the bed. Being the perverted guy that he is, Tobias would force me to call him using lascivious nicknames like darling or master when we’re in bed…
“Just call him Scooter. Get it? Scoot-er.” Brayden gave a facetious response, showing no concern toward the baby in Penelope’s belly.
Skylar was enraged by his apathetic attitude.
On the other hand, Penelope seemed rather unperturbed. She patted Brayden’s shoulder before uttering in a cutesy voice, “You’re so mean.”
Tobias murmured into Skylar’s ear, “When can you start behaving coquettishly like her?”
Skylar answered, “Never. This just isn’t me.”
Growing up, I wasn’t as feminine and gentle as the other girls.
I did try to act cute before but it just didn’t seem right.
After Penelope and Brayden finished eating, they were quick to excuse themselves. The dining table was left in a huge mess.
Just as Skylar was getting ready to clean the table, Tobias embraced her and pressed her against the couch. “The cleaning can wait. First, I’d like to hear you call me darling, just like how your friend was calling Brayden.”
