Chapter 403


    Skr raised her eyes to meet his, and she found herself entranced by his gentle gaze.


    The camera captured this scene beautifully, and Skr’s side profile was so alluring she looked like an


    enchantress.


    As Saoirse, Skrmented, “Master, I don’t want to leave the mountain. Can I stay by your side and


    serve you forever as your disciple?”


    Largo as Titus replied, “Go and fulfill your purpose. You said you wanted to avenge your mother and find


    your father… Can you really live in peace on this mountain for the rest of your life? All good things must


    come to an end. I can’t possibly be with you forever.”


    Skr was slightly dazed upon hearing this line because Tobias had also said something simr before.


    Following her momentary hesitation was Josiah’s loud voice shouting cut.


    Skr shot Largo an apologetic smile, feeling bad that he had to retake this scene because of her.

    Largo’s smile was as gentle as the spring breeze. “It’s okay. You did really well. In fact, you’re the most


    versatile actress I’ve worked with so far.”


    The makeup artist scurried over to touch up Skr’s makeup right then. Tilting her head to the sky,


    Skr looked at the moon and marveled, “The moon is so beautiful tonight.”


    Largo broke into another smile. “Yeah. It’s also romantic.”


    Skr asked Hannah to bring over her phone, nning to send a voice message to a certain someone.


    Right then, she had no idea where he was or what he was doing.


    “Look up. The moon is really beautiful tonight.”


    Soon came Tobias’ deep voice. “I guess so. I’m in a meeting. I’ll talk to youter.”


    Skr lost the desire to continue the conversation after that. She did not even know what she was


    expecting.


    Tobias picked up the cup of coffee on his desk and looked out the magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows


    even as his mind processed stringsplicated digits. He couldn’t remember how many years it had


    been since he had the time to gaze at the sky.


    Thinking of this, he sent Skr a WhatsApp message.


    Tobias: It really is beautiful. I miss you.


    After ving away on the set for a few days, it was finally time for a short break. Wanting to give Tobias a


    surprise, Skr did not inform him about this.


    The first thing she did was check up on Penelope at her rented house, luggage and all.


    Skr never stopped worrying about her. Recently, Penelope had been updating her social media


    caption very frequently.


    In fact, she had probably used up all the typical emo quotes. One of them went something along the lines


    of “love feels like a freight train running right over your heart”.


    When Penelope, who was wearing a maternity dress, opened the door and saw Skr, a smile finally


    appeared on her face that was lined with exhaustion.


    “What took you so long? I missed you to death!”


    Skr took out the supplements she bought for Penelope, cing them on the coffee table before


    exining, “I only just got some time off from filming. I literally came directly from the set. It’s a good


    thing we have the whole week off. Do you still have enough money?”


    Feeling emotional, Penelope’s eyes stung and she sniffled slightly, blinking back her tears. Skr is still


    the one who cares most about me.


    After a while, she rasped out, “Yes, I still have enough. I’ve paid the hospital fees with the money you


    gave me. Can you do me a favor, Skr? I can’t get in touch with Brayden now. Can you ask Tobias to


    tell him to answer my calls?”


    Skr frowned at the thought of all the trouble Penelope had to go through just to get ahold of her child’s


    father. In a voiceden with disappointment, she said, “Why bother? But it’s toote to say anything


    now.” Heaving a sigh, she continued, “Can’t you see, Penelope? Brayden doesn’t want to be responsible


    for you at all. You might as well put a stop to it while you still can and raise the child alone.”


    Penelope held her belly while cautiously shuffling further into the house. Then, she gingerly lowered


    herself onto the couch before countering with a displeased pout, “Why should I put a stop to it? The child


    isn’t born yet. That’s why he doesn’t feel anything yet, but it’ll be a different story once the child is born.


    Brayden is probably really busy with work. That’s why he doesn’t have time for me.”
