Before Blanc had the chance to say anything, Dudley asked jokingly, âBlanc, isnât it too late for that?ââIf it isnât because Mr. Stone has such a grown daughter now, I would ask my Judy to pursue him aggressively. When is your turn for that?âBlanc nodded in agreement and said, âTrue, Mr. Stone is charming and gifted. I believe many ladies out there would want to marry him, our granddaughters have a lot of competition!âThe two old men were very indulged in the conversation and Skylar could only laugh awkwardly in response.At that time, he felt something creeping up against his waist and he felt a sense of pain.It was his wife, Yulia. She ground her teeth and said angrily, âWell, it seems like youâre very pleased that both Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Whitlock want you to be their grandson-in-
law.âSkylar knew he was in trouble and explained quickly in a serious manner, âYulia, I swear, I will only love you this life, and Iâm not interested in other women.âSkylarâs reassurance was as sweet as honey.Skylar then made a pitiful expression and begged, âDear, itâs painfulâ¦gentle, please?âThe guests who were seated at the same table looked at them curiously. They let out an affiliative smile when they saw that Yuliaâs hand was placed on Skylarâs waist.Yuliaâs face turned red as she felt extremely awkward. She pretended to be busy by embracing Lola to mask her awkwardness.This idiot⦠Why was he being so loud?!He raised peopleâs attention on purpose⦠so impropriate!At that time, Lola, who was still devouring her food, put her spoon down. She said pitifully as tears rolled in her eyes, â If daddy doesnât love me anymore, then Lola doesnât love daddy anymore too!â âSweetheart, why so?âSkylar was dumbfounded but seeing his daughter being unhappy made him heartbroken as well.Lola pouted, âYou said you would only love mommy, so you donât love me anymore!âLolaâs words left Skylar speechless.Well, it seems like I have to constantly remind myself to not leave out any one of them.âSweetheart, of course, I love you. I was not being considerate just now. I will take back my words. Daddy will only love you and mommy in this lifetime, okay?ââReally?â Lola asked innocently.âOf course. When did daddy ever lie to you?â Skylar reassured Lola.Lola pondered for a while and nodded, âOkay, daddy will only love mommy and me.âSkylarâs heart melted when seeing Lolaâs bright smile.The other guests were very envious of their relationship, how they wished that they had a daughter or granddaughter that was loving and affectionate as well.Soon, the meal ended in smiles and laughter.The Shepherd family organized some events after the meal. However, the Stone family left in advance to prevent some irrelevant people from reaching out to Skylar.As they were leaving, Yulia asked, âThe things you said at the table just nowâ¦youâre not lying to me, right?âSkylar was stunned by her question.What Yulia meant were promises like âI will only love you in this life.âHowever, he acted like he forgot what he had said on purpose, âHuh, what?ââYouâ¦fine!â Yulia was annoyed.Skylar smirked as he quickly held her hand, âMy dear wife, what I said to you was true.ââSkylar Stone, promise me, donât ever lie to me in this lifetime, okay?â Yulia gazed at him.
