Chapter 324


    Finally, Skr 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 Skr’s side as her bump grew more obvious.


    Skr 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, Skr 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 Skr 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 goodtely. 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 apany you for the checkups?” What Skr 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 pregnantdies queueing at the public hospital with their


    large bellies simply gives me the shivers.”


    Skr 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 pregnantdy has lost too much blood, does the private hospital have arger blood bank than the


    public hospital?


    Skr 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, Skr didn’t reply. Sometimes, she wished that Tobias was poor. That way,


    they could both live ordinary lives, get married, and have kids.


    However, given how handsome he was, Tobias would likely have a lot of admirers.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    At the mention of Tobias’ name, Skr’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 mysteriouslyst night.


    It was the first time he did it.


    Skr 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 tranted it.


    As Skr’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, Skr changed the subject and told


    Penelope about Lina instead.
