In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 449

Skylar put the bags on the shoe rack as she took off her shoes. It took a while for Penelope to gather her thoughts

before she welcomed her friend.

She put her baby down in the crib and quickly came over. Skylar spotted the breastmilk stain on her clothes and

even noticed she reeked of an unpleasant smell.

“You don’t look good. Have you been resting?”

Penelope had been shouldering the burden quietly ever since she gave birth to the baby. When she finally saw

Skylar again, incipient tears welled up in her eyes as she buried herself in Skylar’s arms. “What should I do, Skylar? I

really should’ve just listened to you. What should I do with the kid now? Brayden refused to give me a single cent.

What should I feed the baby with? I’ll never meet another man again…”

Skylar patted her on the back and tried hard not to cry. “You have to get yourself together. Since you’ve brought

the baby to this world, you’ll have to take up the responsibility.”

Tears streamed down Penelope’s cheeks as remorse overwhelmed her.

She bit her jaw and told herself that she would make sure Brayden paid for what he did.

“Skylar, I want to get into the entertainment industry. Could you help me?”

Skylar was shocked. Penelope’s request came out of nowhere. Skylar thought she would ask for money, but she

asked for something else instead.

“You know how hard it is to survive in showbiz. Why did you want to get in the game?”

Penelope looked at her with determination glistening in her eyes. “I need money. You’ve earned so much just after a

short time. Could you help me, please? I know you have some connections. I really need to start anew. I will make

sure Brayden regrets what he did to me.”

“Yes, I do know some people, but that’s not enough to help you start a career in the industry. Even if you really get

it, you have no experience. Besides, you’ll also need time to recover before you can start acting. Being an actress is

not as easy as you imagine it to be.”

A sad smile spread across Penelope’s face as Skylar dissuaded her. “Do you still remember what you promised me?

You said you’ll go through the worst and best times with me.”

Of course, Skylar remembered what she said.

Back then, Penelope paid for her rent using her own savings after Skylar was chased out by her uncle.

A friend in need was a friend indeed. Skylar knew she owed everything to Penelope, so she finally caved and

promised to discuss the matter with her manager.

Penelope held her hands tight and nodded. “I know you’ll be able to find a way. I simply have to get my act

together. I will make sure those people who look down on me get a taste of their own medicine.”

Skylar could feel her pain. Anyone in Penelope’s shoes would do the same.

Skylar shifted her gaze and looked at the baby behind Penelope. “Aw, look at her! Isn’t she cute? She’s chubby like a

marshmallow!”

The gloom on Penelope’s face faded once Skylar mentioned the baby. “I know. She’s just so adorable. You and

Tobias should also have a baby too. It doesn’t matter even if you guys break up later on. I’m sure Tobias is much

more responsible than Brayden. He’ll take care of the child.”

The smile on Skylar’s face became rigid. “Don’t be too sure. He doesn’t like kids. I bet he’s gonna find them

annoying and troublesome.”

“I don’t think so. Someone has to take over Ford Group eventually, so I’m sure he’ll want a kid. It’s just a matter of

who he has a child with.”
