Chapter 4 Father and Daughter

So, Yulia carried her in her arms before approaching Skylar as she said, "Yeah, he's your father, Lola." "Lola!" Skylar exclaimed emotionally as he opened his arms toward Lola. However, Lola, who was in a cheerful mood just moments ago, cautiously hugged Yulia's neck as she said, "My teacher told me that there are plenty of bad people out there. How could you prove that you're my dad?" Wow… Hearing this made Skylar laugh as he wondered about what had happened to be connected to his daughter. "Hey, Lola, he is your father. He has just returned from a very faraway land…" Yulia explained to Lola. "But he isn't wearing his uniform, nor is he as handsome as the men I see on TV," the little girl argued while pouting her lips. It seemed that Skylar was not the kind of father she imagined him to be. Oh wow… Skylar was speechless when she said that. He wondered just how his comrades up in the Northern borders would react if they found out that his daughter said that he was not as handsome as the regular soldiers she saw on TV. "All right then. Why don't I ask you two questions? If you can answer me correctly, then I will believe that you are my daddy!" Lola explained. "All right then, ask away." "What is my favorite color?" "Yellow!" Skylar replied immediately. However, hearing this rendered Yulia speechless. That was because she had told Skylar that Lola's favorite color was blue while they were in the car earlier. Just because they were wearing matching-colored clothes did not mean that Lola's favorite color was yellow. She was baffled by how serious Skylar looked, only to answer the first question wrongly. Skylar felt nervous when he noticed Yulia's expression. However, before he could say anything, Lola asked, "What is my favorite cake then?" "Strawberry?" Skylar answered after pondering about it for a brief moment. Yulia was even more speechless when he said that. She had explicitly told Skylar that Lola was different from other kids and that her favorite cake was Matcha. So, she was wondering what Skylar was thinking to get all the questions wrong. "Say, Lola. Could you give me another chance?" Skylar pleaded with a sad look. "Fine. All right, then. So, who's my favorite Justice Squad character?" Lola asked. Wow… Skylar was completely speechless. It seemed that Yulia had not told him anything about that. Moreover, he had no idea what the Justice Squad even was. It would be impossible for him to even name a character that Lola liked. However, this was the last chance Lola was willing to give him, so he wondered if he was truly done for. "Is Justice Squad a Hollywood movie?" Skylar was trying to get Yulia to help him. "Skylar, you…" Yulia was completely baffled by Skylar's response. She could understand if Skylar told her that he did not know any characters from Justice Squad. However, she was baffled when he asked a four-year-old child if it was a Hollywood movie. This made her wonder if he did that on purpose. However, before she could vent, Lola burst out laughing as she said, "Oh gosh, how could you be so dumb, Daddy! Justice Squad is my favorite cartoon." Um… This was the first time he met his four-year-old daughter, yet she already made fun of him. So, he felt that he had hit rock bottom from his career of being the Dragon Commander… No, wait… What did Lola call me earlier? "Daddy, you really are my daddy. Carry me, Daddy!" Suddenly, Lola let go of Yulia's neck, leaned over, and opened up her arms toward Skylar. So, without even having the time to hesitate, he embraced her. He teared up as soon as he felt the little girl's body. He felt that in that very moment, any titles he held were not even a fraction as important as the little girl in his arms. He understood that from that very moment on, he had an heir that was biologically related to him forever. Meanwhile, Yulia was completely stunned when she noticed how close the duo seemed at the moment. "Hey, Lola, how could you call him your father when he didn't even answer a single question correctly?" Yulia asked as she found the whole situation odd. However, Lola laid on top of Skylar's shoulder and said, "I noticed that daddy loved winking like me, so I decided that he's going to be my daddy." Yulia was completely speechless by her reply. If you loved the way Skylar blinks, then why did you even ask him all of that earlier? Gosh, I can't believe that I was nervous for nothing, but since she's a four-year-old child, she tends to get easily distracted. So, Skylar carried Lola and gave Yulia a cheeky glance. However, he knew that the reason why Lola even felt connected to him was not as simple as a couple of winks. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that Lola's eyes resembled his a lot. Her resemblance was a result of sharing his dominant genes. Upon seeing his smug look, Yulia glared at him and thought, Oh, please, you don't have to be so smug about it. You're just lucky.
