In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 324

Finally, Skylar was being recognized in the streets for the first time. Afew 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 thepictures.”

Despite saying that, she was aware that they weren't using any filters atall as there really wasn't any need to.

Meanwhile, Penelope stood quietly by Skylar's side as her bump grewmore obvious.

Skylar had picked a restaurant with an elegant ambiance to meet. Sheeven requested the waitress to get a pillow for Penelope to support herback with.

After having known her for a long time, Skylar had grown used to themlooking 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 herlunch box.

As Skylar picked up the menu, she noticed Penelope was looking paleand weak.

“What would you like to have?”

Penelope replied, “Anything will do. My appetite has been very goodlately. Yesterday, when I went for my maternity checkup, the doctor toldme the baby is three months old now and it's a boy.”

Penelope's eyes sparkled with anticipation when she mentioned theword “boy.”

"Did he accompany you for the checkups?” What Skylar cared about themost was how Brayden was treating her.

She could understand how Penelope felt when she misunderstood herfor being the third party. The indignance of seeing a friend degradingherself willingly was indescribably painful.

She had wanted to help Penelope by bringing her back to the rightpath. However, her advice had fallen on deaf ears as Penelope justcouldn't refuse Brayden.

Instead, she even made excuses on his behalf. “He is busy at work, sohe asked me to go by myself. Besides, there's nothing wrong withgoing alone. He had also arranged for my checkup to be done atConcord Hospital where I received VIP treatment. Hence, I didn't needto queue at a public hospital at all. It does feel good to be rich. Thesight of pregnant ladies queueing at the public hospital with their largebellies simply gives me the shivers.”

Skylar was speechless. She didn't think there was anything wrong withgoing to a public hospital and neither did going to a private hospitalmake one superior to others.

If a pregnant lady has lost too much blood, does the private hospitalhave a larger blood bank than the public hospital?

Skylar took a bite of her food. “Do you like Brayden for his money orwho he is?"

Penelope threw the question back at her. “Do you then like Tobias forhis personality or his money?”

Despite knowing the answer, Skylar didn't reply. Sometimes, she wishedthat Tobias was poor. That way, they could both live ordinary lives, getmarried, and have kids.

However, given how handsome he was, Tobias would likely have a lot ofadmirers.

At the mention of Tobias’ name, Skylar's mood shifted. Ever since he leftthat night, both of them hadn't spoken to each other.

It was just that he updated his social media status mysteriously lastnight.

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 afinancial report.

The whole report was in Ustranian, and she was the one who hadpainstakingly translated it.

As Skylar's mind was somewhere else, she didn't say much during themeal. Consequently, Penelope assumed that she was just refusing toadmit she was in love with Tobias’ money.

As dwelling on the topic would only lead to further resentment, Skylarchanged the subject and told Penelope about Lina instead.
