“Daddy, Daddy…” Lola Sue’s frightened voice called out from the nursery.

Feeling like he had been caught in the act, Skylar quickly pulled his hands away from Yulia’s body.

Yulia instantly felt the warmth disappear from her skin, but Lola Sue’s cries brought her back to reality.

She pulled herself out of bed, her face still tender and flushed.

“Let me take a look!” Skylar offered. He hastily put on a nightrobe and rushed to the nursery.

“What’s wrong, darling girl?” Skylar was by Lola’s bedside in an instant.

Lola peeked her tiny little head from underneath the blanket, her eyes red from crying. “Daddy, I… I

had a nightmare… I… I don’t want to sleep by myself…”

It was just a nightmare, thankfully. Skylar felt the tension leaving his body. He carried Lola Sue from her

bed, gently stroking her back as he consoled her. “It’s alright, Lola. Dreams are always the opposite of

reality. If you’re ever in danger, I’ll always be here to protect you.”

He carried her all the way back to the master bedroom. “Darling, you can sleep with Mommy and

Daddy tonight.”

Yulia opened her arms wide, embracing little Lola as she climbed into bed with her.

“Mommy, Daddy, have you finished your chat?” Lola asked quizzically. That was sweet little Lola,

always concerned for others even though she was the one who just had a nightmare.

Yulia blushed as she recalled her ‘chat’ with Skylar just moments ago. “Yes… Yes, darling, we’re done.”

“Then Lola can sleep with you and Daddy!” Lola exclaimed happily, completely unaware of her parents’

amorous adventures previously. Within minutes, the family of three was back to their usual cohabitating

routine, with Lola sleeping in the middle, flanked by Skylar and Yulia on her left and right.

Skylar stole a longing glance at Yulia. The desire in him was still burning as strong as ever, but he

could only be patient for now. Yulia caught sight of a tensed Skylar clenching his rugged jaw, as if he

was in pain. She smiled to herself as she realized it was rather fun to tease him by getting his hopes up

but not giving him what he wants.

The next morning, after dropping Yulia and Lola off, Skylar drove the new Land Rover to Garden No.1.

He made his way into the house and found his parents waiting for him, all packed up and ready to

depart.

“Skylar, is that your new car?” His younger sister Naomi pointed at the Land Rover parked at the gate.

“Mhmm, since we’re going back to the old house, I figured the Land Rover might be more comfortable

for everyone,” Skylar explained amiably.

“It’s not just comfortable! That’s the limited-edition dynamic model, isn’t it? I remember Mr. Stephenson

saying it costs at least 5 to 6 million dollars!” Naomi exclaimed in awe. Did Skylar really buy a 5-million-

dollar car just to ferry them back to their old home?

Skylar cocked an eyebrow as he heard the enthusiasm in Naomi’s voice. “It’s not that expensive. I only

spent 4.8 million dollars on it.”

“What? How? Tell me!” Naomi sensed that Skylar had an interesting story to tell.

“Let’s get Mom and Dad into the car first. I’ll tell you on the way,” Skylar told Naomi as he helped to

carry Nathaniel and Winona’s luggage into the car.

Before long, the Fullers were on their way to their old home in Skylar’s Land Rover. Upon Naomi’s

urging, Skylar retold the story of how he ended up purchasing the car yesterday. Naomi was fully

enthralled by her big brother’s story, while Nathaniel and Winona were appreciating the plush leather

seats and sleek interior design of the car.

The journey of more than 2 hours was a fun one, filled with laughter and jokes along the way. Close to

noon, they finally arrived at their destination – their old home in Atlas County.
