StarNovelSkylar retracted his hand, retrieved a tissue from his pocket, and calmly wiped away at it.
The two elders turned purple as they trembled. “H-He’s dead? He’s dead?”
He swept a cold glance their way causing them to collapse from fright.
He shook his head and tossed the tissue aside before giving Dianne Zander a call.
“Someone hired a killer named Gray Monkey to kill me. First, find out who this person is, then
dismember Gray Monkey and have his parts sent to them.”
“Yes, sir!”
Dianne, after hearing the news of how someone wanted Skylar dead, immediately sprang into action.
When Skylar finally made it back to the car, Yulia immediately bombarded him with questions. “I heard
gunshots, Skylar. Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine. Look, I’m unharmed!”
He gave a carefree smile.
The unease didn’t leave her as she grappled for his clothes and lifted them. “No, I’m checking for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmyself!”
Tears sprang in her eyes as she spoke.
Skylar’s heart warmed at the sight as he gathered her into his arms to calm her nerves. “I’m really fine,
Yulia.”
“I’m still here after facing a hail of bullets. A crappy killer with a gun isn’t going to take me away from
you!”
Lola, who was in the back seat, couldn’t help asking, “Daddy, there were loud firecrackers outside just
now. Is Mommy crying because of it?”
Yulia burst out into unexpected laughter when she registered her clueless daughter’s words.
Skylar likewise dotingly stroked the girl’s cheeks and nodded. “You’re right, Lola. Mommy cried
because she was scared of the firecrackers.”
“Be brave, Mommy. Look! Lola isn’t scared at all!”
The child proudly exclaimed.
“That’s right. Mommy isn’t as brave as our darling Lola!”
Skylar purposefully disregarded Yulia.
An angered Yulia reached out and pinched him hard on his arm.
She felt much better with the fuss Skylar and Lola were making.
“Let’s go home then, my darlings! I’ll prepare a delicious meal for the both of you!”
Skylar declared aloud as he started to drive.
“Yeah! Daddy’s making crabs!”
Lola cheered.
“You’re going to get overweight if you keep eating like that, you greedy cat!”
Yulia deliberately shot her down.
The child didn’t seem bothered in the slightest. “Lola doesn’t care. Daddy will help Lola with her diet!”
The woman felt defeated.
She had to control what she ate and how much she ate.
Yet both father and daughter were still in such good shape despite their terrible eating habits.
How infuriating!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSkylar, as if he had read her mind, asked tentatively, “Why don’t you also give my amazing massage
techniques a try, Dear?”
“No thanks!”
She immediately shot him down.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them.
She couldn’t take it back either. After all, he needed her to take off her clothes during the massage.
How shameful…
Skylar couldn’t keep insisting with her vehement refusal either.
It left her chagrined.
Idiot! Why didn’t you ask again?!
Maybe I’d change my mind!
Skylar was driving and failed to catch her expression, let alone know her thoughts.
By the time they arrived near the hillside villa, Dianne called.
“Boss, Gray Monkey belongs to the Black Tiger League of Troitz county. Their leader is a man named
Parker Jenkins. The person who hired him is Miles Silverton. His bodyguard, Daryl Staham, was the
one who connected them.”
