Chapter 416


    A glint of delight shed across Tobias’ eyes. “You were so wasted and reeked of alcohol. I couldn’t do


    it.”


    Pfft! Skr rolled her eyes and flung his hand away.


    Just as she stepped out of the car, she heard a beeping sound of the car being locked, followed by


    Tobias’ footsteps behind her.


    Skr was exhausted from their dalliance well into the night, hence she was reluctant to get out of the


    bed the next morning when she was woken up by a crying Penelope’s call.


    This rtionship of hers has taken a heavy toll on my well-being as well. Luckily I don’t have that many


    close friends. In fact, Penelope is the only one.


    With one hand holding the phone, Skr struggled to put on some clothes with the other.


    Having slept naked for the whole night, Skr feared she might have caught a cold.


    She med Tobias for not waking her up and reminding her to put on a sleeping robe.


    Still lying next to Skr, Tobias was also awakened by the call. “Just hang up already. It’s so annoying,”


    heined in a slumber.


    Skr could not make out what Penelope was trying to say in between her sobs, so she told Penelope


    she would meet her in an hour’s time.


    Tobias pulled Skr back into his arms. His thin lips were now inches away from her neck as he


    breathed into her ear, causing her heart to race uncontrobly.


    Being ady-killer, seducing women was second nature to Tobias.


    Skr had seen some of Tobias’ high school photos and felt a twinge of envy. Some people are just


    blessed with good looks their whole lives.


    Skr turned over so that she was facing him and rested her hand on his chest.


    Tobias had been a punctual person. Since Skr had promised to meet Penelope in an hour’s time, he


    was willing to tweak his working schedule in order to spend more time with her.


    After skipping breakfast, Skr wore a mask and a cap before hopping into Tobias’ car.


    Tobias took a side nce at her but could not bring himself toment that her current poprity did


    not warrant such extremity in masking herself.

    Even inside the car, Skr also covered herself up from top to toe.


    Before long, the pair arrived at Penelope’s rental apartment. Her door was left ajar and they could clearly


    hear noises of an argumenting from the inside.


    When they pushed open the door, they saw Brayden sitting on the sofa. The air in the apartment was


    filled with thick smog.


    Brayden still had a cigarette in his hand while sitting with his legs crossed next to a pregnant Penelope.


    “She’s pregnant with your child. Can’t you be a little more considerate?” Tobias reminded.


    Upon hearing that, Brayden threw the cigarette butt into a half-full water bottle.


    Brayden scoffed. “So, you called for backup,”, his tone full of condemnation.


    This woman will run andin to Skr about every little thing like a big baby. Just my luck that


    Skr is involved with Tobias.


    “Come now, stop crying. I’m here,” Skrforted a puffy-eyed Penelope.


    Agitated, Penelope pointed at Brayden and cried, “He has changed his mind and doesn’t want the baby


    now. He’s leaving me and our baby to our own devices after today! What do I do, Skr? The baby is


    due soon!”


    “Pay up,” Skr enunciated each word slowly.
