NovelEnglishSkylar swiftly dodged and backed away from Francis.
Imagine a man in his fifties clinging onto my leg and screaming the word Master at me. How terrifying!
“Master Reed, I’m afraid I’m busy, so I shall take my leave!” Skylar chuckled.
He quickly dragged Yulia back to the car and left.
He had planned to spend the afternoon practising martial arts with Lola there. Still, Francis’ overly-
passionate attitude made him think twice about his plan.
Upon seeing Skylar’s panic escape, Francis pouted. “Was I so excited that I scared off the God of
War?”
In the land rover.
“Daddy, you defeated the bad guys without moving an inch! Daddy’s awesome!”

There were hints of curiosity and appreciation in her eyes and even admiration like Lola.
This was once the man who barged into her office with medals and a resume and demanded to be her
contract husband.
Within two months, he protected them again and again from any harm or harsh treatment.
His ability, knowledge, and wealth were far beyond a mere soldier’s.
Yulia knew he must have had a complicated background to achieve such accomplishments and that
there was much to discover.
However, unlike in the past, her desire to learn about the truth had diminished.
There was no doubt that Skylar would treat her and Lola well, which was enough for her.
She knew that whatever his identity may be, he would explain it to her one day.
After all, she was not in a hurry to find out.
Yulia lightly held Skylar’s big hands as she thought.
They looked at each other and smiled, clasping their hands together.
Once they returned to Ocean Hill, Skylar decided to bring Lola to the hillside villa for her martial arts
practice.
Yulia, who had witnessed the incident at the martial arts gym, surprisingly joined the practice.
During the evening, Skylar was discussing with Yulia what to eat for dinner when his phone suddenly
rang.
It was Valerie.
Skylar was somewhat surprised but eventually picked up the call.
“Hey Valerie, what’s up?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hi there, Skylar! Can’t I call you when nothing’s up?”
Valerie chirped from the other end.
“Uh… I didn’t mean that?”
Skylar let out an awkward laugh.
Yulia immediately perked her ears up to listen from the side.
Valerie laughed. “I’m just kidding! Look at you being so tense! Anyways, are you free tonight? I want to
treat you to a meal!”
“A meal? Today is Sunday, and my wife and daughter are home, so I don’t think I have time…” Skylar
peeked at Yulia and Lola, who were beside him, as he replied.
Valerie groaned and pretended to be calm before saying, “Stop overthinking, Skylar! I’m just treating
you to a meal as thanks for helping me out twice! Since your wife and kid are there with you, bring
them along then! The more, the merrier, right?”
“Oh…” Skylar hesitated. “The incidents were related to me anyways, so you don’t have to…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Valerie interrupted. “Hmm? Are you not going to introduce me to
your wife?”
