In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 402

Skylar initially thought that it was Tobias checking in as usual. Sometimes when he was busy, he would still send her a short message. Truth be told, Skylar was rather impressed with his consistency.

Upon seeing that it was from Penelope, she tapped to listen to her voice message.

“Skylar, can you lend me some more money? I don’t have enough for my prenatal checkup.” Penelope asked for money early in the morning.

Skylar sensed something wrong from her voice. Even through the phone, she could feel Penelope’s depression.

“Where’s Brayden? Hasn’t he given you money?” Skylar sent back a voice message.

Penelope’s reply only came after a few minutes. “No. He told me to settle it on my own because he’s too busy with work lately.”

Skylar resented irresponsible men like Brayden who used work as an excuse.

Although Penelope was pregnant with Brayden’s child, she wasn’t given a proper title. But then again, she insisted on conceiving his child through deception. Thus, she had no one but herself to blame.

According to Brayden’s financial standing, it wasn’t too far-fetched to say that he could afford to buy the entire hospital, let alone pay for a prenatal checkup. Yet, he was brushing off Penelope.

“How much do you need? I’ll transfer the money to you,” Skylar replied.

After Penelope informed her of the amount, Skylar immediately wired the money to her. Well before she even started work for the day, a few thousand was already deducted from her bank account.

People often said to help the needy and not the poor. Penelope was both.

After she got pregnant, she stopped working and ruthlessly severed ties with her family. Hence, she had zero income.

Skylar did not expect Penelope to pay her back either. They had been friends for many years, and Penelope had always shared her things with Skylar during their schooling days.

Most importantly, she never minded that Skylar’s mother was a murderer. Thus, Skylar saw this as a chance to repay her kindness.

After transferring the money, she chatted a while with Penelope, telling her that she would visit in a few days since the filming crew was given a short break.

By then, it was probably close to Penelope’s due date.

Skylar only went to the set in the afternoon to get her makeup done as they were shooting a night scene. Largo came up to show his concern for her as soon as he arrived on the set, asking if she was feeling better.
