âYeah, Iâll make whatever wish you have come true!â said Skylar confidently.With the influence and wealth he had in his hands right now, even building Lolaâs dream castle was just a matter of time.If she had asked for the stars in the sky, he would gladly take her to space by getting a spaceship.However, he believed that the 4 year old girl would not have wishes that were too over the top.Lola, who was in his arms at that moment, blinked and looked up at him. With a serious tone, she said, âLola wants a younger sister, daddy!âCough!Skylar was so taken aback that he almost choked.âUhhâ¦âHe never would have thought that Lolaâs wish wasâ¦to have a younger sister.âWhatâs wrong, daddy? Is it impossible?â asked Lola.With a smirk, Skylar replied, âWell, itâs not that itâs impossible, butâ¦ââDaddy, you promised Lola just now that you will make my wish come true! No lying, daddy, or else your nose will grow long! Daddy will also turn into a puppy!â said Lola loudly, interrupting Skylar mid-sentence.
She was determined to hold Skylar to his words.Skylar touched his nose in embarrassment. He said, âWell, Lola, about that⦠Even if I say yes to a little sister for Lola, we still need mommy to say yes too.ââAfter all, your little sister has to come out from your motherâs belly. So daddy is willing to give you a sister if you can convince mommy too.âHearing Skylarâs words, Lola raised her head as she thought about it for a while. She then asked, âSo if mommy says yes, Lola can get a sister?âSkylar tried to explain to Lola, saying, âEven if mommy agrees to the idea, it will take a long time before you can meet your sister.â âOh, also, itâs not up to us to decide whether you will get a brother or sister!ââSo troublesome? Lola just wanted a sister to play with.â said Lola dejectedly.âDo you have any other wishes, sweetheart?â asked Skylar as he looked at Lola nervously.He was afraid the little girl would ask for another normal-sounding wish that was impossible for him to fulfill immediately.I should not have made promises I canât keep.For the very first time, Skylar, the great God of War of the Nine Continents, wanted to impress his daughter. His plans backfired spectacularly instead.Skylar did not know whether to laugh or cry at his predicament.Lola deliberated on it for a while before asking, âIf Lola canât get a little sister, can Lola get a little puppy instead, daddy?ââThe little puppy can also play with Lola!âHearing that, Skylar secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was a much more reasonable wish for him to fulfil.He readily replied, âOf course!ââSince mommy is still at work, letâs go and get a puppy right now!âAfter traveling for half an hour, both of them arrived at Highbury Street where most of Cloudtopiaâs pet shops could be found.At the entrance of the marketplace, two plump girls were staring at Skylar and Lola.âIs that the guy that put our Gerry in the hospital, Mitzi?â asked one of the girls who was wearing glasses.âThatâs him! He kicked Blackie to death and had a group of raid dogs attack Gerry! Heâs the reason Gerry is in the hospital!â replied the other plump girl bitterly. Her name was Mitzi and she had frizzy hair.It seemed like both of them were crazy fans of Gerry Porter.When she saw Skylar walking into a pet shop, the bespectacled girl immediately exclaimed, âHe entered your brotherâs shop, Mitzi!â
