Skylar, likewise, couldn’t help but smile.
There was no need for strife nor decisive decisions in his ideal world. Having his wife and child by his
side was more than enough.
The question was how long he could hold onto the mundane.
He chatted with Yulia for a little while before he received a knock on his door.
He hung up the call after saying his goodbyes and went to answer the door.
“Skylar…”
It was Nathaniel and Winona.
“Umm…”
Nathaniel cleared his throat, seemingly unable to voice his concerns at the moment.
“Come in!”
Skylar welcomed them into his room.
“Skylar, about Norman… could you get Mr. Wintringham to be more lenient with him…?”
Nathaniel didn’t seem to know how to start, leading to Winona asking almost inaudibly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar chuckled.
“Mom, Dad… Did Langston and Spencer put you up to this?”
They both nodded sheepishly.
Norman had always been so against him and had even advocated for him to be sent to the army.
Yet, they were now asking him to repay their grievances with virtue by requesting him to plead on
Norman’s behalf.
This left them feeling guilty for Skylar.
Langston’s word was, however, the law. They had to obey.
Skylar’s expression fell when he noticed how shamed his adoptive parents looked.
Langston and Spencer knew they couldn’t start anything with him, which was why they forced
Nathaniel and Winona, who were honest to a fault, to act against their will.
Damn it!
Skylar then spoke to his adoptive parents after thinking it through. “Dad, Mom, if Norman shows
promise, I can prop him up to the position of general, never mind the position of adjutant by General
Philbert’s side.”
Both were shocked by his words.
Prop him up to the position of general?
How much power does he wield?
What kind of identity does he have?
Skylar continued before they could ponder the matter, “But does he show that kind of promise?”
“He’s already baring his fangs even though he’s only just started to learn the ropes.”
“Is such a person worthy of being called a pillar of the nation?”
Nathaniel recalled that he had once patted Skylar on his shoulder and declared that his son was a pillar
of the nation with immense pride.
It appeared to be more than true.
Skylar, after all, had a spirit that could conquer all.
Norman’s behavior of fawning over his superiors and snubbing those beneath him made him far from
qualified to become a pillar.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNathaniel nodded. “Everything you said makes sense. Forgive us for making things difficult for you.”
“I’ll let them know that we can’t help them with this!”
With that, Nathaniel got up and dragged Winona out with him.
Skylar had planned to reject Langston and Spencer himself at first, but on second thought, it would be
better to allow his adoptive father to go in his stead.
After all, everyone in the Fuller family now knew of his might. There would definitely be no shortage of
people who would seek both Nathaniel and Winona out.
They both had to learn to say no.
The next morning.
Skylar returned to Cloudtopia with his adoptive parents.
After dropping them off at the garden villa, he drove to the Kareem Fashion office building.
He made multiple video calls to Yulia during the few days he had been gone.
He still wanted to see her despite that.
The brand-new Range Rover was about to pull into the company grounds when he suddenly found a
familiar figure in a cafe right opposite the building.
