Brayden stopped her mid-sentence. “She can keep the baby if she wants it so badly. I have more than
one child anyway. Ms. Jones, you should stay out of this and let her decide on her own.”
Brayden was explaining himself out of respect for Tobias. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted his time
talking to an outsider. He used contraceptives every time they were intimate, so only Penelope knew
the truth of her pregnancy.
After hearing his reply, Skylar snapped, “I want you to confess everything to her so that she doesn’t get
hurt further! Since you can’t marry her, how is she supposed to live as a single mother? Do you want
her to throw a tantrum in front of your wife and show your wife what you’ve done behind her back?”
Brayden was provoked by her accusations. He took a look at Tobias, hoping he could step in and hold
her down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn contrast to Skylar’s emotional reaction, Tobias was calm. He sided with Brayden instead. “You
should let your friend make her own decision. It’s either she keeps the baby or has an abortion. She
can make her decision before it becomes a fetus.”
Skylar knew Tobias well. To him, it was not a big deal and it was just a waste of time to talk about it.
They’re right. I have no right to make the decision for Penelope. Skylar decided to call her and let her
deal with it.
Right then, there was no way to keep Penelope from being heartbroken. However, Skylar didn’t want
her best friend to be fooled. She had to make Penelope face the truth even though it might hurt her
deeply.
Brayden didn’t care much about confronting Penelope. He was not afraid to come clean because he
knew Penelope well. Unlike Skylar, Penelope was a smart girl who knew exactly what she wanted.
While waiting for Penelope’s arrival, Tobias and Skylar took a walk outside. The sun was setting and a
warm red glow filled the sky. Skylar sensed the chill on her skin when the wind blew.
Tobias took down his coat and put it around her. A scent of white sandalwood filled the air.
Skylar held his hand and looked at him. “I’m sorry about today. I may have ruined your friendship with
Brayden. I know I’ve put you in a tight spot, but there’s no other way.”
“I don’t really care about Brayden. I just thought it was a waste of time. Why did you ask your friend to
come over? Honestly, I don’t want to wait anymore. I could’ve settled many tasks with the wasted time,”
Tobias said.
Skylar firmly replied, “I have to wake her up from her fancy dream! What Brayden is doing will ruin
Penelope’s life. She’ll struggle to live a good life if she raises her child alone as a single mother. Neither
she nor the child deserves it. That man will not take care of them.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTobias didn’t reveal his emotions easily, but Skylar knew he was moved by her words, particularly when
she mentioned the phrase “single mother”.
“I get that. I’ll be more careful next time and make sure we use contraceptives. I won’t impregnate you.”
Skylar didn’t mean that though. When they first got together, Tobias was very casual about it. He even
asked her to carry his child, but now he sang a different tune when he thought of marriage.
However, Skylar was not in the mood to think about their relationship. She just hoped that Penelope
wouldn’t ruin her life because of an irresponsible man like Brayden.
They waited for her for a long time, but Penelope was nowhere to be seen. Tobias was getting agitated.
He stood up and was about to leave.
Brayden looked at Tobias and cast an apologetic smile at him and Skylar. “I guess Penelope is resting
at home. Pregnant women need more rest. Ms. Jones must be feeling upset. Mr. Ford, I guess you’ll
have to work harder tonight to comfort your girlfriend.”
