Timothy returned shortly after making the call. He tried to keep his anxiety at bay and spoke calmly to

the cashier, “Your boss promised to award a 20 percent discount. There’s no need for me to foot the

rest of the bill.”

Just as the cashier was about to clarify the deal, his phone rang. It was a call from his boss. After a

short conversation, he ended the call and said to Skylar, “Mr. Stone, our boss has promised to give you

an 80 percent discount. You may ride the car home anytime.”

Skylar nodded his head and smiled at Timothy, “You’re sure well-connected. Thank you.”

Timothy put on a brave front and said nonchalantly, “It was nothing! Don’t worry about it.”

Deep down, the man was cursing and fretting over his loss. Before he could finish speaking, he was

flatly rejected by the boss. To avoid embarrassing himself in front of Skylar, he struck a deal with the

boss. He enlisted the man’s assistance in accepting the discount, but Timothy would pay the remaining

20 percent in secret. The boss agreed to the arrangement reluctantly as Timothy was a loyal customer.

Timothy was on the verge of tears as he thought, a whopping 1.2 million dollars! It’s almost my entire

savings after years of hard work. I’ve sacrificed everything just to save my pride. Worse still, all I got

was a thank you from Skylar.

Even though Skylar seemed to be in the dark, he was actually playing along with Timothy’s plot. How

dare he think of using me to boost his sense of pride? He should be lucky that it’s just 1.2 million

dollars.

In the evening, Skylar picked up Lola from the kindergarten before heading to Kareem Fashion to wait

for Yulia to end work. Everyone’s attention was drawn to him as he exited the car and made his way to

Yulia’s office. They were also talking about him behind his back.

Skylar was not taken aback by the sudden attention. After all, the fact that he had used a silver needle

to treat an end-stage stomach cancer patient earlier in the day must have spread around the company.

Skylar informed Yulia and Lola during dinner that he was accompanying his adoptive father to the

Fuller residence in Altas County and would not be returning home in the next couple of days. While the

reunion dinner was only on the following day, Nathaniel had requested that they arrived earlier to make

the necessary preparations for the important event. They might extend their stay for another day if his

father wanted to spend more time at the Fuller residence. As a result, Skylar informed Yulia and Lola

that he would not be home for the next three days.

Upon hearing that her father would be gone for a couple of days, Lola hugged Skylar and refused to let

him go. She only let go reluctantly when Skylar promised to bring her lots of good food and toys to play

with.

Even though Yulia could not bear to part with Skylar, she knew that the man had other important

matters to attend to. Apart from Yulia and her, he had to look after his family and friends. Hence, she

gently agreed to the arrangement.

It was time for bed at ten o’clock in the night. Lola, who was swearing her pink nightdress, said to Yulia,

“Mommy, I want to sleep in the little room tonight.”

“Sure, Mommy will sleep with you in the little room.” Yulia assumed Lola had a sudden preference for

sleeping in the little room, as she sometimes did.

The little room was designed for Lola. It was pink in color with a princess theme.

Lola shook her head and said, “No, Mommy. I want to sleep alone in the little room.”

“Why? Lola doesn’t want Mommy anymore?” Yulia asked in surprise.
