Chapter 758 Jerks
When Skr went downstairs, Penelope was eating oatmeal. Skr uttered nonchntly, “Doesn''t
the morning oatmeal taste better than the midnight wine?”
Penelope put down her spoon. She had drunk too muchst night. As a result, her head throbbed,
and her stomach was ufortable.
She hadn''t drunk enough that she suffered from ckouts yesterday. Instead, she remembered
everything that happenedst night, including the moment when she pointed at Tobias and scolded
him loudly. Recalling her actions, Penelope shuddered as her scalp tingled with fear.
In a tentative tone, she asked Skr, “Did I throw a drunken tantrum at Tobias yesterday? He won''t
stay mad at me, will he?”
Skr didn''t answer. Tobias is too upied with his own issues to be mad at her. He''s too focused
on making my life difficult. She said, “No, he''s not mad at you. He''s not that petty. I thought you
drank too much and forgot everything. It''s good that you can still recall what happened. What did
you meanst night when you talked about the expression in Tobias'' eyes? I didn''t understand.”
Penelope scanned her surroundings and discreetly beckoned Skr toe closer, like how secret
agents interacted with one another.

Skr pulled up a chair and sat next to Penelope before leaning her head forward. “What do you
want to tell me? I think his eyes are fine. They''re very pretty.”
Penelope took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Skr. “Read this article. It''s very well
written. I like it very much!”
As Skr expected, Penelope had indeed found another motivational article on Instagram.
Sometimes, thetter was no different from an olddy, believing whatever she saw on social
media.
Penelope borated, “I''ve wanted to talk to you about this for a while, but I was afraid it would
affect your rtionship with Tobias. You two were still in the honeymoon phase then, so it wasn''t a
good time to mention this.”
Skr didn''t really agree with Penelope''s words. In her opinion, there was never a honeymoon
phase in her rtionship with Tobias. He still treated her the same way he did when they started
dating and had never changed; he was not considered overly attentive, but he was not that bad
either.
Their rtionship had always been steady and stable. There was never any grand passion between
them, nor did they ever feel an intense urge to stay together all the time.
Wary of speaking ill of the owner of the house she was staying in, Penelope moved closer to
Skr''s ear and whispered, “You can''t hide the expression in your eyes when you''re in love with
someone. If someone loves you, he will focus only on you, and his eyes will twinkle like a sky full of
stars when he looks at you.”
Skr furrowed her brows. She had never seen Tobias'' eyes sparkle, not once since they started
going out. “He''s always been like this, indifferent to everyone. Even if a mountain were to copse
before him, he wouldn''t bat an eye.”
Penelope sighed and propped her chin on her hand. “I''m not telling you this to make you
ufortable or to sow discord between you and Tobias. I''ve already experienced my share of
unhappiness in life, so I don''t want you to undergo the same thing. Sometimes, I wonder if anyone
would still marry someone like me, a young woman with the extra baggage of a child. Other men
will disdain me, and my daughter will also suffer for being fatherless, so being with the child''s father
is always the best option. If Brayden were to change his mind, I could still consider getting back
together with him for the child''s sake.”
Skr looked at Penelope, who still appeared infatuated with Brayden, and was puzzled by why
women always remembered the jerks who mistreated them, easily forgetting all the despicable
men''s wrongdoings as if suffering from amnesia.
Before being with Tobias, Skr had only been in one rtionship. The breakup wasn''t devastating,
and Tobias eventually came along and filled her life with his presence.
