Skylar sneered and walked straight to the door.There were far too many people who wanted to be his lapdog.Just who was Harper?He came to a halt as he approached the door. Then, he heard a shrill scream from behind him.He didnât have to look to know Dianne had killed Harper.He took a few more steps when all of a sudden, from inside the villa, Adam ran after him.âMr. Stone!ââI didnât understand the situation at the time and spoke inappropriately. I sincerely apologize.ââThe Currey family has no intention of working with the Fox family.ââThe Fox family had offended you. The Currey family will cease all interactions with Malcolm from now on.âAdamâs eyes were filled with horror as he spoke.He feared the Currey family would be caught in the crossfire.Furthermore, he had wanted to wade through the murky waters before he even know who he was up against.How foolish of him.Skylar looked at him and stated flatly, âI made a deal with the Fox family. It is none of my business whether or not your family will maintain a relationship with Malcolm.âBefore Adam could respond, he led Dianne into the car and drove away.For a while, Adam didnât dare to move as he stood there in terror, watching the jeep drive away.He could only hope that the Currey family would not be in Skylarâs bad books because of what had happened today.He had gotten close to him the last time he was in Atlas County, but it was all for naught now.It appeared he would have to wait to try and make up for it with later opportunities.Skylar, understandably, was unaware of Adamâs inner turmoil.Even if he did know, he wouldnât care.Back at home, a little munchkin threw herself into his arms as soon as he walked through the door. âDaddy, youâve returned! Mommy has been waiting by the window for you for a long time!â Lola spoke in a childish tone.Yulia quickly denied it, saying, âI⦠I didnât!âSkylar embraced Lola in his arms, smiled at Yulia, and said, âDear, has anyone told you that you will blush each time you tell a lie?âWhen Yulia heard this, her already hot cheeks took on the appearance of an incredibly ripe, mouthwatering peach.âI was simply admiring the view outside the window. Is that not possible?âYulia continued to deny it.âSweetheart, which window was Mommy standing at just now?â Skylar asked Lola, suppressing a smile.âThe one by the sink,â the little girl said, pointing in the direction of the kitchen.âOh?âSkylar cast a deliberate glance at Yulia and said, âIt appears that the only view there is of the one path that I can take to return home.ââYes! Thatâs correct. Youâre a genius, Daddy. Mommy is just too worried about you, and wants to be the first one to see you home.â Lola immediately clapped her hands as she exclaimed happily.Yulia blushed, and the corners of her mouth twitched.Damn it! She couldnât deny it now.Skylar was in complete bliss as he gazed at Yulia, who was both shy and slightly irritated.He was about to say something nice when he remembered Lolaâs wish, so he softly said into Yuliaâs ear, âDear, Lola told me today that she wants a younger sister to play with her.ââDo you think her wish will come true?âLola leaped into Skylarâs arms as soon as she heard it.âMommy! Mommy! I really want a younger sister who I can go to school with, take baths with, and sleep with.ââDaddy said that he cannot agree to this on his own. He said you had to agree as well.ââCan you and Daddy then give me a little sister?â
