Alex felt his blood boiling. The only thing that was keeping him in check was the return of Norman the
next day. Once Norman becomes the General’s adjutant, the entire Currey family would be no match
for the Fuller family.
The crowd finally snapped out of shock after hearing Alex’s words. No one would be able to stand in
their way when that moment came, be it Adam or Skylar. Their backgrounds would mean nothing
against the General’s adjutant. Those who felt bad for mocking Skylar regained their pride after hearing

Skylar made a video call to Yulia before bed. “Daddy, when will you come home? I missed you,” Lola
said. “I’ll be home after two more days,” Skylar reassured her. “Daddy, did you miss me and mommy?”
Lola continued. Skylar nodded and said, “Of course. I’ve missed you two ever since I left.”
“You didn’t go around and look at other women?” Lola asked. “What are you even talking about? I only
have my eyes on you and mommy,” Skylar replied. “Daddy is the best! You mustn’t meet other women,
or else mommy will be mad if she found out,” Lola added.
“Alright. I can promise you that,” Skylar replied. Yulia who was sitting beside Lola was blushing as if
she had exposed her concerns. “It’s past your bedtime. Time to say goodnight to daddy,” Yulia said.
She had to cut Lola short to prevent her from saying more embarrassing things.
“Okay. Goodnight, daddy. I’ll be waiting for you,” Lola said as she waved. “Goodnight, Lola.” Skylar
waved back. As Yulia was about to end the video call, Skylar waved and said, “Goodnight, darling!”
Yulia blushed and replied, “Goodnight.” Skylar was certain that she had accepted this title. He ended
the video call joyfully.
It was the day of Norman’s return, so the family reunion had been shifted to the afternoon. Naomi woke
Skylar early in the morning. “Sky, Norman is almost here. Everyone is waiting at the gate. Let’s go

“What’s the big deal?” Skylar replied as he washed his face. His impression of Norman had never
changed since they were kids. Whenever they returned to their hometown, Norman would bring the
other kids along to annoy Skylar and Naomi. Therefore, they fought a lot when they were little.
However, Skylar did not hold a grudge against Norman as those were part of their childhood. He just
took a trip down memory lane when Naomi mentioned Norman’s name.
“I’ve heard that he’s about to become the General’s adjutant. I can’t wait to witness the grand
spectacle,” Naomi said. “Does a grand spectacle mean he’s a big shot?” Skylar asked as he dried his
hands.
