In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 331

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?” NôvelDrama.Org content.

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.

After a long checkup, Penelope came out with a medical report. She told Skylar that everything was normal and that she could go home to wait out the pregnancy.

Puzzled, Skylar asked, “Where will you return to? Since your dad is still angry with you, why don’t you stay over at my place?”

Penelope replied slyly, “I have a home now. Brayden has arranged for me to stay in a townhouse, and I’ve been staying there for a while.”

Skylar realized that she had gotten ahead of herself. Of course, Penelope would have a place to stay.

At the very least, Brayden gave Penelope all the financial support she needed. As for the rest, they can be dealt with at a later stage.

Penelope even asked Skylar, “Do you think I should buy a house near his future school? It would be good for him next time. After all, Brayden’s family needs someone to inherit their massive assets. My son will be rich the moment he is born.”

Skylar couldn’t bear to break Penelope’s bubble as Brayden wasn’t the only son. Hence, it wasn’t going to be easy for her son to inherit the family business.

As of now, Penelope can still gain his affection with her youth and beauty. Once she has given birth and loses her figure, she will no longer be as attractive.

I’m afraid Brayden’s feelings for her would also change.

In the evening, after Skylar had sent Penelope home, she took a cab back. Along the journey, a headline popped up on her phone.

It read: Station manager of Channel 3, Maverick Sullivan, commits suicide by jumping off a building.

Skylar’s heart dropped. On the night of the celebratory dinner, Maverick had tried to take advantage of her but the plan was foiled by Kai.

After that, she had repeatedly received threatening phone calls from Maverick, asking her if the video had been deleted.

Despite Skylar telling him many times that it had been deleted, Maverick didn’t believe her.

He even threatened to slander her to the press and described to her over the phone everything he planned to do, causing her to feel perturbed.

Hence, for him to have suddenly died, Skylar broke out in cold sweat. She wasn’t sure if it was an accident or if Kai was behind it. After all, only the three of them knew about the matter. Also, Kai didn’t seem like someone vicious. Murder is a crime, and he wouldn’t have gone that far for my sake.
