Skylar did as he said. She acted swiftly and got changed in a wink. She was so embarrassed and her
face was as red as a tomato.
Her shyness made Tobias even more aroused.
However, he kept calm and whispered in her ear, “What do you want from me?”
He knew it! I shouldn’t have put up such a show. He’s not aroused anyway. I should’ve just told him
instead.
Skylar regretted seducing him in a sexy nightgown.
She even rehearsed the scene in front of the mirror before he came home.
“I want to meet a person. He’s your friend. Can you help me?”
Skylar was not sure how Tobias would feel about it, so she asked him carefully.

Although she had slept with him, he seemed distant to her.
Therefore, Skylar never asked him about his whereabouts or whatsoever unless he told her himself.
Before that, she had asked once but he seemed annoyed as if she had crossed the line. Since then,
she would only call him and get straight to the point.
“Alright. Who is it? I’ll make arrangements.” Tobias didn’t ask further and agreed to help without
hesitation.
Things went easier than she thought. However, she didn’t know the man’s name. “I don’t know his
name, but we’ve met him at the tea house. The one who introduced a young model to you that day.”
Tobias had an excellent memory. He instantly remembered the man after listening to her.
“His name is Brayden Scott. He’s running a coal mining business.” Tobias briefly described the man’s
background. He still didn’t ask Skylar about her intention of meeting the man.
She would tell him if she wanted to.
“Is he married?” Skylar still held out hope for the man. If he was single, perhaps Penelope could try her
best to get him.
“If I’m not mistaken, he has a kid around six or seven.” Tobias’ reply made Skylar’s hope shatter into
pieces.
Tobias was the type of person who acted on his words. He arranged a meetup for Skylar and Brayden
on the next day’s evening.
Skylar gazed at the man sitting in front of her. She didn’t take a close look at him during the first
encounter. Looking at his good-looking appearance, she finally understood why Penelope fell for the
man.
Brayden was indeed an attractive man. He was in his early forties, looking smart in his grey suit. He
looked decent and smart, perfectly showing the charm of a mature man.
That was their second encounter. Brayden sized Skylar up in silence. He couldn’t believe that Tobias
had fallen for a woman.

Tobias lit up a cigarette and glanced at Skylar. “My girlfriend wants to see you. I’m not sure about the
reason though.”
Brayden was stunned when Tobias addressed her as “girlfriend” instead of “friend”.
“I’m Penelope’s friend. She’s pregnant with your child.” Without beating around the bush, Skylar got
straight to the point. She wanted to know Brayden’s attitude on that matter. Most importantly, she tried
to keep Penelope safe from harm.
Upon hearing that, Brayden was nonplussed. Right then, Tobias figured out Skylar’s intention.
Penelope had put herself in trouble with some debt, and now she was impregnated.
“So? Are you asking if I will take responsibility for the baby? But now we don’t even know the biological
father of the baby,” Brayden replied.
Skylar tried to keep her cool and said solemnly, “You’re a married man. It’s not fair to Penelope. You
should tell her the truth, then talk to her about the baby. The baby…”
