Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 32

“Hey Lola, daddy…”

Before Skylar could finish, the little girl sobbed, “No way. No way. I want to sleep with daddy and mommy.”

“I’m begging you, Lola…”

“Other kids could sleep with their dads everyday but me… Mommy, you promised me that we’ll sleep together when daddy comes back. Daddy, do you not like mommy and me anymore?”

Lola approached and hugged Skylar’s leg before nuzzling up against his leg with her tear stained face.

Hearing that ached Skylar’s heart as he carried her immediately. However, he had absolutely no clue what to do next.

He knew that he would be completely fine, but he still had to make sure that Skylar was fine with the arrangement.

Yulia was very conflicted about the situation too. On the one hand, she owed her daughter way too much and could not bear to refuse her. On the other hand, she was worried that something bad might happen if Skylar and her were to share the same bed.

Besides, regardless of how excellent of a person Skylar was, she only knew him for three days.

“Just talk to daddy, mommy. He’ll listen to you,” Lola said after wiping her tears.

So, Yulia looked at the sad little girl before asking Skylar, “Hey… you don’t have plans tonight, right? Why… don’t you stay the night?”

“Look daddy, mommy wants you to stay, so stay and sleep with us!” Lola exclaimed while shaking Skylar’s neck coquettishly.
