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.
Instead, she even made excuses on his behalf. “He is busy at work, so he asked me to go by myself.
Besides, there’s nothing wrong with going alone. He had also arranged for my checkup to be done at
Concord Hospital where I received VIP treatment. Hence, I didn’t need to queue at a public hospital at
all. It does feel good to be rich. The sight of pregnant ladies queueing at the public hospital with their
large bellies simply gives me the shivers.”
Skylar was speechless. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with going to a public hospital and
neither did going to a private hospital make one superior to others.
If a pregnant lady has lost too much blood, does the private hospital have a larger blood bank than the
public hospital?
Skylar took a bite of her food. “Do you like Brayden for his money or who he is?”
Penelope threw the question back at her. “Do you then like Tobias for his personality or his money?”
Despite knowing the answer, Skylar didn’t reply. Sometimes, she wished that Tobias was poor. That

However, given how handsome he was, Tobias would likely have a lot of admirers.
At the mention of Tobias’ name, Skylar’s mood shifted. Ever since he left that night, both of them hadn’t
spoken to each other.
It was just that he updated his social media status mysteriously last night.
It was the first time he did it.
Skylar had expected a picture of some random scenery. After all, someone like him would never upload
a selfie unless he had gone mad.
She quickly tapped on it and realized that Tobias had just shared a financial report.
The whole report was in Ustranian, and she was the one who had painstakingly translated it.
As Skylar’s mind was somewhere else, she didn’t say much during the meal. Consequently, Penelope
assumed that she was just refusing to admit she was in love with Tobias’ money.
As dwelling on the topic would only lead to further resentment, Skylar changed the subject and told
Penelope about Lina instead.
