Chapter 345


    Hearing Penelope’s words, Skr’s mouth twitched. This is not good. She almost burned the whole


    house down during her previous cooking lesson with me.


    “Oh, by the way, what should we name our baby? Help me think of a name, darling.”


    Surprised, Skr choked on her water. She even calls him darling now?


    How can she say it out loud so tantly? I’ve only ever called Tobias darling once or twice on the bed.


    Being the perverted guy that he is, Tobias would force me to call him usingscivious nicknames like


    darling or master when we’re in bed…


    “Just call him Scooter. Get it? Scoot-er.” Brayden gave a facetious response, showing no concern toward


    the baby in Penelope’s belly.


    Skr was enraged by his apathetic attitude.


    On the other hand, Penelope seemed rather unperturbed. She patted Brayden’s shoulder before uttering


    in a cutesy voice, “You’re so mean.”


    Tobias murmured into Skr’s ear, “When can you start behaving coquettishly like her?”


    Skr answered, “Never. This just isn’t me.”


    Growing up, I wasn’t as feminine and gentle as the other girls.


    I did try to act cute before but it just didn’t seem right.


    After Penelope and Brayden finished eating, they were quick to excuse themselves. The dining table was


    left in a huge mess.


    Just as Skr was getting ready to clean the table, Tobias embraced her and pressed her against the


    couch. “The cleaning can wait. First, I’d like to hear you call me darling, just like how your friend was


    calling Brayden.”

    Under that circumstances, Skr couldn’t bring herself to call him darling.


    Being pressed down by Tobias, Skr was finding it hard to breathe.


    Just as she was about to suffocate, Tobias finally let go of her. “You should really learn to act cuter and


    girly. That is how you get a man to be captivated by you.”


    Using her incredible acting skills, Skr put on a cute fa?ade. “I can only pretend to be cute and girly. If


    you want me to do it naturally, I can’t—”


    Tobias gave Skr a kiss on her forehead. Skr’s words evoked his memories of Idania, the woman


    whom he once swore to protect and cherish.


    Gazing at Tobias’s troubled face, Skr reached out her slender hands and wrapped them around his


    neck. “The dishes ain’t going to wash themselves. Can you excuse me for a moment?”


    Tobias released her from his arms before uttering, “Go and take a rest. Let me handle the dishes. I’ll join


    youter.”


    Skr, who was exhausted, happily epted his offer and went upstairs.


    Tobias watched as she was getting up the stairs. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts.


    She does kind of resemble Idania. Is that the reason why I’m so fixated on her?


    Skr took a quick bath to remove the pungent smell of cooking odor from her body. Her face was beet-


    red when she exited the bathroom.


    She opened her closet, which was mostly filled with lingerie, and took out a set pajamas that she bought


    recently.


    The pajamas she chose had a cute design that didn’t really match Tobias’s preference.


    I’ll be the one to choose what I want to wear and who I want to be. A woman must have her own sense


    of identity. We can only ever rely on ourselves.
