CHAPTER 500
After returning home in the evening, Skylar explained to Lola for a long time, telling her that he and Yulia were going on a business trip.At first, Lola tearfully begged to go with them, but eventually, she calmed down. Besides, Valerie coincidentally finished her photoshoot and promised to teach her a new song the next day, making Lola happy.Before they left, Skylar also arranged for Dianne to stay at the hillside villa to protect Lola and Valerie. He then went with Yulia to board the high-speed railway headed to Troitz county.Not long after boarding the train, Skylar whispered to Yulia when a surprised female voice was heard from the side.“Y-Yulia Sue?”Skylar and Yulia immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a couple around their age sitting across the aisle.The one who spoke was the woman.“Gladys Thatcher?”Yulia immediately recognized her.She was her college classmate.“It’s really you! I thought I’d mistaken you for someone else!”Gladys smiled and looked Yulia up and down.Before Yulia could reply, Gladys took the arm of the man next to her and introduced herself, “This is my fiancé, Franco Sivan. His parents own a huge factory in Troitz county, and we’re returning to visit.”Gladys had a proud expression as she spoke.On the surface, she looked like she was introducing her fiancé, but she was showing off to Yulia.Then, she turned her gaze to Skylar, sitting next to Yulia, and asked, “Is this… your boyfriend or your husband? Is he also from Cloudtopia? What does he work as? Although Yulia felt somewhat annoyed by Gladys’s bombardment of questions, she politely replied, “This is my husband, Skylar Stone. He is now…”Regarding Skylar’s occupation, Yulia struggled to find the right words to describe it.After all, Skylar’s abilities could not be easily summarized.Seeing Yulia struggling, Skylar quickly interjected, “I was in the military for six years, and I’m still on active duty.”Upon hearing this, Gladys and Franco immediately smiled mockingly.Gladys had thought that, even if Yulia gave birth to a daughter before marriage, with her stunning appearance, she could easily marry an heir of a wealthy family.If that were the case, she could chat with her to expand her connections for the future.To her surprise, Skylar was a mere soldier, even in the military for six years.Seeing Yulia’s hesitation, her husband probably didn’t even manage to get a star from the army.A poor soldier.When she thought of this, Gladys, somewhat insincerely, said, “So he’s a soldier! Back in
our school days, all the girls wanted to marry a soldier, but Yulia has fulfilled our dream of being a military wife.”Suddenly, Gladys changed the topic with worrisome eyes. “Yulia, I heard that veterans are struggling to get a job these days, and even becoming a security guard requires many selection rounds. Do you want me to ask my fiancé to arrange a job for him in his family’s factory?”Till the end, Gladys’ face could not hide her proud look. Content held by .
