Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 38

When she noticed how furious Nathaniel looked, Mandy changed the topic immediately. “Where’s Skylar? Didn’t he come over to your house earlier in the day? Why isn’t he here then?”

“He left for some emergency work, but he promised me that he’ll be here.”

Nathaniel calmed down a little when Skylar was mentioned. After that, he seemed to have recalled something as he said, “Oh that’s right, Skylar has a gift for Naomi.”

He took out the box from his pocket and said, “I’ll give Naomi his gift right now then.”

“What’s the rush? You can give it to her anytime, right? Can’t you see that we’re in a wedding now? Weddings have plans and schedules, so who knows what you’re up to with that little box!” Mandy panicked and stopped Nathaniel.

Nathaniel glanced at Mandy and scoffed as he said, “Yeah, but I’m going to disrupt the wedding now. Or else, I have no idea what this woman might say to offend our family! Besides, Skylar is Naomi’s brother and if it wasn’t for his work, he would’ve been up here now. So, I will send his blessings to Naomi as his father. Tell me, do you have a problem with that?”
