After dropping his parents off, Skylar made his way over to Kareem Fashion to pick Yulia up before picking Lola up from her kindergarten.âYay, daddyâs back!â Lola leapt into Skylarâs arms as soon as she spotted Skylar.Unlike before, the little rascal did not raise her head immediately. Instead, she buried her face into Skylarâs chest to smell his scent.âWhat are you doing, honey? Why are you sniffing me like a little puppy?â Skylar asked with a smile.Lola replied, âWilla told me that her mother would smell her dadâs clothes whenever he returned from a business trip to make sure there arenât any odd scents from his body.ââOdd scent?â Skylar smelled his clothes and wondered if he smelled awful because he was cooped up in the train earlier.Suddenly, Lola said, âI was talking about perfume that other women would use! Gosh daddy! Youâre such a dummy!â The little rascal burst out laughing as soon as she said that.Skylar was speechless when that happened. He thought, I canât believe sheâs already Yuliaâs little detective at four years old. I also canât believe that she called me dumbâ¦That familiar feeling of abandonment washed over him once more.However, before Skylar could say anything, Lola told Yulia, âMommy, Iâve checked and there arenât any odd scents coming from daddy!âHearing this made him even more speechless.The little rascal made Yulia laugh as Skylar asked, âSay Lola, how did you know that I was out on a business trip?â He recalled only telling Yulia about it that morning and did not mention anything to Lola. However, Lola chimed in again. âGosh daddy, youâre such a dummy today!
Mommy called my teacher today. She told my teacher that youâre out on a business trip and sheâll pick me up a little later.ââOhâ¦â Skylar was rendered speechless by her response.Yulia burst out laughing as soon as Lola said that. She was glad that her daughter was finally siding with her.âHey Yulia, I donât mind if you were to laugh, but could you tone it down a little?â Skylar complained.However, hearing that only made Yulia laugh harder.She had finally regained her power, so naturally, she would want to revel in that moment.So, Skylar decided to ignore her and walked toward the jeep with Lola. He said, âHey Lola, your mother wanted to laugh, so letâs just leave her here alone to laugh as much as she wants. Iâll take you to grandpaâs place for dinner tonight.âAs soon as Lola heard that, her eyes glimmered as she cheered. âYay! I can play with grandpa and grandma today! Oh, and Aunty Naomi too! Stop laughing, mommy! Just pick up the pace now!âThe little rascal looked concerned when she said that.Soon, the family of three made their way toward Nathanielâs mansion.Suddenly, Lola seemed to have recalled something as she told Skylar, âOh daddy, my teacher told me there will be a singing competition soon and everyone can take part in it. My friends have already signed up for it and I want to sign up as well.âSkylar replied in a caring tone, âIf you want to do it, then weâll do it together! Iâll support you in whatever you love doing forever!ââYouâre the best daddy in the world!â The little rascal jumped from her seat and gave Skylar a kiss on his cheek. However, Yulia was annoyed when that happenedâ¦
