Chapter 300


    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 exining 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, Skr 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 usations. He took a look at Tobias, hoping he could step in and hold


    her down.


    In contrast to Skr’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 bes a fetus.”


    Skr 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. Skr decided to call her and let her


    deal with it.

    Right then, there was no way to keep Penelope from being heartbroken. However, Skr 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 toe clean because he


    knew Penelope well. Unlike Skr, Penelope was a smart girl who knew exactly what she wanted.


    While waiting for Penelope’s arrival, Tobias and Skr took a walk outside. The sun was setting and a


    warm red glow filled the sky. Skr 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.


    Skr 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.


    Skr 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.”


    Tobias didn’t reveal his emotions easily, but Skr knew he was moved by her words, particrly 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.”


    Skr 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, Skr was not in the mood to think about their rtionship. 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 Skr. “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 tofort your girlfriend.”
