It was the fifth day of the new year.
The following day marked Skyler and Sofia's wedding. Both the Green Family and the Robins Family were busy with wedding preparations.
Despite the upcoming wedding, Skyler lounged on the couch in the Pinewoods Villa, playfully teasing Ada, "Give me a smile, Ada."
He gently stroked Ada's cheeks and asked, "I'm getting married tomorrow. Are you happy for me?"
Ada giggled toothily, looking exceptionally adorable.
Skyler sat cross-legged on the couch, holding Ada under his arms and bouncing her on his lap.
As he watched Ada wave her chubby little hands and giggle non-stop, Skyler couldn't help but join in the laughter.
However, his laughter gradually turned into a melancholic smile.
The living room was empty at this moment. He looked at Ada and sighed. "In this life, I'm not as fortunate as your dad, being able to marry and have children with the one I love. Tell me, what good deeds did your dad do in his previous life to be so lucky, huh?"
"Dada… Dada..." Ada babbled.
"Call me godfather."
He held the child on his lap, shaking her little arm. "Call me godfather. All of my property will be yours. Okay?"
"Okay," Ada responded, not fully comprehending Skyler's words. But her response vaguely sounded like 'okay,' which made Skyler laugh.
"You little girl, are you not satisfied with your dad's money? Are you eyeing my money?" He supported Ada's back with one hand and tickled her belly with the other. "You're just like your dad, sly and cunning. But... if you want it, I will give you all my money."
Indeed, he would definitely leave his property to his godson and goddaughter.
Even if he married Sofia, he would not have children.
Matthew wanted to say something else, but Skyler glanced at him. "Don't always focus on me. Instead of wasting your time, you should think about your company. You're surrounded on all sides, so figuring out how to break through is what really matters. If it weren't for the New Year, they would have probably made their move."
The previous defamation on Metric Technology was, at most, an 'appetizer.' The main course hadn't started yet.
At this moment, Veronica walked in from outside.
She held a phone in her hand and said to Skyler, "Do you want to tell Shirley about your marriage to Sofia?"
Veronica deliberately said this, attempting to use Shirley to provoke Skyler, hoping to make him reconsider.
"Why should I tell her? I don't need her presents." Skyler suddenly stood up and handed Ada to Matthew. "It's getting late. I should go back."
From the morning when he came to the Kings Residence until now, their constant persuasion had worn Skyler down, and he wanted to escape from the 'battlefield.'
