Yulia mulled over Skylar’s remark before uttering, “Skylar, I know you adore Lola and want the best for her.“But I heard the property there costs a fortune. You might not think much about it, but I can’t indulge everything you provide in good conscience.”She was a woman with self-respect.Skylar dolefully gave her a cuddle, leaning in against her ear to breathe sweet whispers, “It’s not about the cost. It’s just a house.“Besides, Lola is my daughter, and you’re my wife. Everything I have is yours to enjoy with no strings attached.”His words put Yulia at ease.Although it never crossed her mind to get anything from Skylar, Yulia was moved that Skylar was willing to share his everything with her and Lola.How could Yulia say no to Skylar’s sincere and expectant eyes? She gave a gentle nod. “Okay.”Over the moon, Skylar immediately planted a kiss on Yulia and Lola’s cheeks. “Lola, Mommy gave us the okay. We’re moving to a big house.”“Wow! Is it as big as Grandpa and Grandma’s house?”Lola jumped with joy and asked.“It’s bigger than Grandpa and Grandma’s house!”Skylar answered smugly.The little girl could not hide the excitement across her face. Yulia might not make a huge fuss out of it, but it was a sweet moment for her.The next day happened to be the weekend.Since it was moving day, Yulia got up early to pack her bags.Skylar told her that Ocean Hill was move-in ready. Lola was even getting a playroom filled with toys. All Yulia had to do was pack Lola’s clothes and hers.Two hours later, Skylar loaded the suitcases at the back of the Range Rover.Holding onto Beans, her precious golden retriever, Lola was buckled up in the child’s seat in the back.The family of three set out to Ocean Hill.Considering that there was a child in the back seat, Skylar was steady behind the wheel.Nobody expected a dark silhouette to hurtle across a one-way street downtown right before the family’s eyes. Skylar slammed on the brakes right away.Bam!A crash ensued.Yulia’s heart skipped a beat. “What happened?“Did we hit someone?”Skylar said with a straight face, “I’ll get out of the car and check.”Worried, Yulia got out of the car too.It did not take them long to find an old man in his sixties lying on the ground while clinging to the vehicle’s front right wheel. He whined at the top of his lungs.“Ouch… It hurts…“Are you blind? Can’t you see me crossing right in front of you?”Following the sight of Skylar and Yulia, the old man lashed out in anguish and rage.Since there was no time to fuss over the details, Yulia asked with concern, “Where does it hurt, mister?”“My arm hurts, my leg hurts… Everywhere hurts!”The old man cried ever more fervently.With the old man acting up, Yulia was rendered speechless. Still, she kindly uttered, “Mister, I can’t see any signs of trauma. Can you try and get up?”The old man took offense. “Try and get up? Do you have any common sense?“I was hit by your car. How can I be fine? How can I possibly get up?“Are you tricking me to get up so you can evade responsibility?”
