Sis?

The unfamiliar greeting made Yulia uncomfortable, and her body reacted to it by heating up and

blushing. However, Judy Shepard seemed perfectly comfortable with the pet names.

“Brother Sky, it’s my grandfather’s birthday tomorrow. He asked me to invite you and sis for the

banquet!”Judy quipped excitedly.

“Oh? How old is he this year?” Skylar asked with a kind smile.

“He’s eighty this year,” Judy replied sweetly.

“Alright, Yulia and I will bring Lola along to your grandfather’s banquet tomorrow,” he nodded. In his few

encounters with the Shepards, they have always been nothing but courteous and respectful toward

him. Since Old Mr. Shepard had personally asked his own granddaughter to invite them, he could not

possibly turn them down. Yulia, who was standing next to her husband, nodded her agreement too.

“That’s wonderful!” Judy clapped her hands together as soon as Skylar and Yulia agreed to come.

“Grandfather will be delighted to know that the both of you are coming! Alright then, I won’t keep you

any longer. I’ll see you tomorrow!” Judy winked playfully before she left the office.

Once Judy was out of earshot, Yulia asked her husband, “Sky, what birthday gift should we get for Mr.

Shepard for his 80th birthday?”

“Birthday gift?” Skylar mused out loud. He reckoned his presence would have already been a gift to Old

Mr. Shepard and his family. In fact, the Fist Handbook that he had given to Old Mr. Shepard before was

worth more than any golden treasure. Was a birthday gift really necessary?

Skylar’s confused expression did not go unnoticed by Yulia. “Of course we have to bring a gift! We

can’t just turn up empty handed!” Yulia’s voice was slightly panicked.

Since his wife insisted on it, Skylar supposed he did not have any objections. “Alright, let’s go and buy

him a gift right now. We could get one for your grandfather too,” he nodded.

“Alright, let me just go through these documents, then we can make a move,” Yulia informed her

husband as she walked back to her desk.

Ten minutes later, Skylar and Yulia left the office together.

“Yulia, what do you think your grandfather will like as a gift?” Skylar asked while driving.

Yulia thought for a moment before replying. “Hmm, Grandfather doesn’t have any interest in typical gifts

like gold plated statues and decorative ornaments. He does enjoy a good piece of calligraphy though.

When he was younger, he’d go to Antique Street to pick out pieces. He didn’t even mind getting

scammed a couple of times!” Yulia smiled as she remembered these stories about her Grandfather.

“Calligraphy? Paintings? Well, that settles it then!” Skylar changed the destination in the car’s GPS

system to Antique Street.

Half an hour later, Skylar and Yulia stood at the entrance of the famed Antique Street. Many buildings

on the street still maintained a historical façade from the olden days, and the shops only sold rare

antiquities. One could almost feel like a villager living back in the day as they walked down the old

cobblestone streets.

Most people knew that most of the goods sold on the street were usually counterfeit items, so those

who were not seasoned collectors preferred to buy antiques from an official auction to avoid getting

scammed. However, very occasionally and depending on one’s luck, a rare genuine collector’s item

would pop up in one of the shops.

Skylar and Yulia thought to try their luck here first on a whim. Just as they entered a random shop, they

were greeted by an enigmatic voice.

“Oh my! Isn’t that my ever-capable sweet cousin sister, Yulia Sue?”
