Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 517 Perfect Timing

Apparently, Yulia used to think that Skylar only chose her because he was rejected by Yvonne when he proposed to her back then. However, after Skylar told her that he was willing to be Lola's father and after a series of things, she changed her mind. She knew for sure that Skylar was serious about marrying her back then. She wondered if there was more to the story. If Skylar told her that he used to have a crush on her, then, she had absolutely no idea when she even met Skylar before in the past. Besides, Skylar had given everything to Yvonne for five whole years anyway.

It turned out that the night Skylar returned to Cloudtopia five years ago for a secret mission, he had changed his face with some high tech camouflage to keep his identity hidden. So, Yulia would never know that he was the man responsible for getting her pregnant that night.

Skylar was conflicted when she asked that. The truth was that he wanted to find a chance to come clean to Yulia about what happened that night. Since she asked him then, perhaps this was the perfect opportunity for him to do so. So, he took a deep breath and decided to come clean. He could not keep the truth hidden from her forever. The truth would only weigh on him even more as time went on. He believed that they were close enough to earn her forgiveness. Perhaps she would break down and get mad at him, but she would not have the heart to have him repay her with his life. Besides, they still have Lola anyway.

"Yulia…" Skylar stuttered, but his words were interjected by a phone call. It turned out that Valerie was calling him.

This snapped Skylar back to his senses and he knew that Lola must have missed them already. Lo and behold, Lola's face could be seen as soon as he accepted the call.

Lola was wearing a set of yellow pajamas as she laid on Valerie's bed. She said, "Daddy, I want to sleep with you and mommy." This was the first time that both Yulia and Skylar were absent from her side. Even if Valerie were to spoil her rotten, she still missed them. Skylar's heart melted when he noticed how sad Lola looked.

So, he replied in a gentle voice, "I miss you too, honey. Why don't you sleep with Valerie tonight and we'll be home to play with you tomorrow, okay? You know, your mother even told me that she wanted to buy you some new toys and clothes tomorrow."

"And food, daddy. I want to eat all kinds of good food," replied Lola.
