Upon arriving at Kendrick's penthouse, Louis threw him to the floor."Show me! Where did you keep the video?" his voice echoed.Wiping the corner of his bleeding lip, Kendrick chuckled. "Are you deaf or what? I said I wouldn't give it to you. Unless you want to give me the real one. That girl, I mean."Not wanting his blood pressure to increase, Louis glanced at his guards. Those handsome young men immediately moved. They searched the entire house.Seeing Kendrick's relaxed expression, Louis narrowed his eyes. "You don't keep it here?"Kendrick shrugged. "Well, you guys won't find it anyway.""Is that so?" Louis raised an eyebrow.Receiving a disdainful look from Kendrick, he ordered the guards to stop. Kendrick laughed at that."What's wrong? Are you giving up before you even try?" he teased.Louis bent his knees. "Do you keep it in your room?""No," Kendrick replied casually."In your study?""No.""In the living room?"Kendrick snorted lightly. "It's no use asking, Louis. You'll nev
Not wanting to miss any information, Louis played another recording that was directed at the door. He synchronized the time, so two videos were playing simultaneously.It turned out that as soon as they entered the room, the red-headed girl laid Louis down on the bed. She looked surprised when Sky barged in.Curious about what they were arguing about, Louis searched for the audio file. After successfully adding it, he grabbed his earphones and listened to the recordings with full concentration."Who are you? How dare you come in here!" the red-headed girl scolded.Sky put her hands on her hips. "I should be the one asking. Who are you? How dared you take Louis into this room, when he clearly didn't want you to take him? He's pushed you several times, you know?"Suddenly, the red-headed girl stepped forward. She pushed Sky's shoulder, but Sky didn't back down at all. Instead, she stood firm. "Hey? You dare push me?""I'm the girl Louis hired to serve him tonight. So, just leave! Don't b
Five years ago ....After unbuttoning Louis' shirt, Sky forced him to sit up. She helped him free himself from his silk shirt. Then, she started to unbutton Louis' pants while glancing away."I came here to surprise you, Louis, but why were you the one who surprised me?" she muttered, like she was grumbling.A few seconds later, only underwear was left on Louis' body. Sky didn't dare to look down anymore. While glancing away, she put Louis' arm on her shoulder."Come on, Louis. I'll help you to the bathroom," she sighed while getting up from bed.But apparently, Louis was too heavy for her. He remained sitting on the edge of the bed, not lifting at all."Louis? Come on! Cooperate with me. Use your strength! Just a little bit, it will help a lot."Sky tried another way. She stood in front of Louis, wrapping his arms around her neck. "Hold on to me. On the count of three, lift your body up, understand?"Sky hugged Louis' body, ready to lift him. However, before she could count, Louis sud
"Louis ...."Sky regretted not wearing a bra. Maybe she should start considering it even though the jumpsuit she was wearing was high enough to cover her chest.Now, her body was shaking, both her hands clenched tightly at her sides. Her mouth could only let out a sigh. She was afraid that her heart would explode if she didn't control her breathing.Slowly, Sky was lulled. Her eyes were closed, her body began to move, matching the turmoil in her chest.With her common sense fading, she did not realize that her jumpsuit had fallen to her hips. Therefore, when Louis' fingers entered the center of her warmth, she was shocked beyond belief. Her eyes were rounded, her breathing rapid."Louis," Sky pushed her body up, trying to escape his touch.However, Louis did not let her go. Instead, he pressed her weak point. Sky spontaneously winced and bit her lip. She needed extra effort to be able to push Louis' shoulder away."Wait a minute, Louis. We agreed that you would only touch me," she said
Louis continued his action. He pampered Sky with his touch. However, before he could go far, Sky commented again."Louis, do you think I'm a tunnel? What kind of train do you get? Why doesn't it have an end?"Louis failed to hold back his amusement again. "Just imagine it's a train that will take us on a summer vacation.""Where to vacation?""To fun places. Anywhere with you, I'll be happy.""Okay. But why summer?"Louis wiped the sweat off Sky's face, which was no longer pale. Her blush had returned."Don't you like summer?""Yes, it's the brightest and warmest season. And in the past, you and Emily often went on vacation during that season. I liked it every time we went on an adventure together.""After we get married, let's go on vacation every summer. We'll go on an adventure wherever you like."Sky smiled shyly. "That's a good idea, Louis. By the way, why are you pulling your train backwards? Is my tunnel at its last stop? Ah .... Why did you suddenly go forward? Louis, you're no
"Sir, I didn't dare to enter Young Master Kendrick's residence. I actually came here secretly. I heard you were here, so I wanted to hand this over to you. That's all. Besides," the housekeeper took a deep breath, "I have to get back to work soon. If my boss finds out, I could be fired. I can't possibly apply for a job anywhere else with a body as old as this."Louis looked at her seriously. His eyes were convincing."You don't need to be afraid, Ma'am. After today, just submit your resignation letter. I can cover your living expenses and your family's."The woman's frown instantly disappeared. "Really?"Hope lit up her face. However, in a blink of an eye, it vanished. She shook her head. "But for what, Sir? Do you want me to work for you?""No, Ma'am. You just need to tell me what you know. So, how about we sit inside?"Despite her hesitancy, the old woman went inside. She was a little uneasy because she had to leave her trolley outside. However, seeing Louis' sincerity, she began to
If only Louis had checked the room before leaving that morning, all the misunderstandings wouldn't have happened. He would have been relieved because the girl he had slept with was Sky. He wouldn't have had to deliver insults and threats in front of the media. Sky wouldn't have run away, and they could have been together from the start. He could also have carried Summer since she was born."Where did you find this, Ma'am?" Louis asked hoarsely. Red streaks had appeared in his eyes."On the table, Sir. Right next to the bed where the telephone was placed. I remember it because I had to fix the notebook and pen that were also there."Louis closed his eyes. His face was covered with regret. "I was so careless. How could I not see it?" he groaned in pain.After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Is there anything else you know about Sky, Ma'am?"The old woman took out the last item from her plastic bag. Seeing a package containing some pills, Louis was stunned. "What is that?""Birth c
Omega rushed to check the camera. After making sure Louis' position was perfect, he started the countdown. Then, Louis began to speak."Hello, everyone. Have you watched the new CCTV footage? I hope it's enough to prove that the girl you've been insulting since yesterday is a good girl," he nodded convincingly."Actually, she's been my best friend since childhood. She's an innocent girl who doesn't know evil in her life. The only mistake she made was being in the wrong place at the wrong time."Louis suddenly turned still while staring at the camera. Everyone was waiting for other words from his mouth. However, after a few moments, the atmosphere remained silent. Omega was confused about him."Sir," he whispered.Louis blinked. Sky's shadow had now disappeared from his sight. He finally realized that he was sitting in front of the camera."Sorry," he whispered.Omega raised an eyebrow. He wondered about whom Louis was apologizing to. But then, his question was answered."I'm sorry for
"Oh my gosh!" Angelica gasped while covering her mouth. She looked shocked, but inside, she was laughing at Sky's wet dress. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Harper. I didn't mean to."Sky smiled wryly. She didn't say anything, just wiping her dress with a napkin.Meanwhile, Louis got up from the chair. He approached Sky, asking about her condition. Sky was finally able to smile with sincerity."I'm fine, Louis. Just a little wet. It's no big deal," Sky said softly."Are you sure? Do you want me to accompany you to clean your dress?" Louis offered, pointing towards the bathroom.Sky shook her head. "No need, Louis. It's already soaked. There's no point in cleaning it up. Let's just sit back and enjoy our dinner. We can't let anyone ruin our moment, can we?"Louis looked at his wife with pity. It was supposed to be their perfect night. How could he let his guard down and give someone a chance to ruin it?"Waiter!" Louis' voice echoed. His hand was raised to call the nearest waiter. "Please take this w
"Wow! Look at my girl! Isn't she charming?" Draco whispered to his co-worker.Angelica watched Sky with an unhappy face. She realized that it wasn't just Draco who was captivated by Sky, but almost all the visitors."Tch, what charm? I actually feel sorry for that green dress. It should look magnificent on my body," Angelica said, sarcastically. "And that handsome and perfect guy, he should be holding my hand."Draco snorted in disgust. In his heart, he cursed Angelica for daring to compare herself to Sky."I know you can't wait to touch that guy, but please hold on. Don't do anything until I give you the signal. Remember. We are carrying out my plan right now."Angelica sighed lazily. "Okay. How long do I have to wait?""Just let them enjoy their meal. Wait until they are off guard."Angelica nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, Sky was chuckling. Louis had just treated her like a noble."Welcome to this very humble ballroom, Mrs. Harper," Louis said while bowing like a servant to the
Knowing his wife's dirty thoughts, Louis laughed faintly. "I want us to get ready for dinner. I'm getting hungry. If we have time, let's turn on our phones for a while. I suddenly miss our little princess."Sky chuckled. "Good idea, Louis. Let's go to our cabin!"Louis and Sky left the lido deck with warm hearts. They didn't realize that Draco was smiling lopsidedly at them."Wait for me, Sky. I'll take you away from him tonight," he thought impatiently.A few moments later, Louis and Sky had turned on their phones. Finding deleted messages from Summer, worry arose in their hearts."Did Summer contact you?" Sky asked while glancing at the phone next to her."Yeah, she sent me several messages, but they've been deleted. I wonder what she sent."Sky shrugged. "Let's call her."Soon afterward, Summer answered in her cute voice. "Hello, Mommy? Why did you call me? Shouldn't you be having fun with Daddy?""Hi, Honey. We suddenly miss you. What are you doing?" Sky asked, glancing at Louis w
Draco laughed faintly. "Sorry, Mr. Harper. I didn't mean to seduce your wife. I just wanted to say hello to an old friend. So, do you remember me, Sky? I'm Draco. You guided me when we were teenagers."Sky froze. Her eyes narrowed, busy searching for that memory."Still don't remember?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. "I was on a tour around Europe. You worked as a guide. Back then, you were the youngest guide at the HealingHills Travel Company. That fact amazed me. I even asked for your picture and autograph."Sky shook her head faintly. "Sorry. I took too many pictures and autographs.""We met again a few years later, by chance, in Canada. Summer was still very young at that time," Draco added a hint.Louis' eyebrows were knitted even more tightly. "You know Summer?" he muttered in an unamused tone.Draco nodded lightly. "Yes, she was a cute little baby. Even though she couldn't talk yet, I could already feel her chatty aura. How is she? Has she grown into a cheerful and resourcefu
Angelica's expression turned serious. She looked at her phone. The call she received turned out to be on SIM-card 2."Where did you get my number?" she asked, no longer looking down on the screen."That's a secret, Ma'am. We can't tell our secret procedures to just anyone," the boy said.Angelica was offended. "Ma'am, you said? You said you're professionals, but why didn't you check my background properly? I'm not married yet. Call me Miss!""That's because you've been involved with many men. You're not a pure girl anymore. You don't deserve to be called Miss. And now that I think about it, I don't think you deserve to be called Mrs. or Ma'am too. They're usually used for adult women who have one husband. You don't have one husband, but many men," River explained."Yes, River is right. They are terms for women with diginty.""Dignity, Summer," River whispered.Summer gasped. "Yes, I mean dignity."Angelica was stunned to hear that. She didn't care about the mistake Summer had just mad
"We were lucky to survive," Sky recalled, shaking her head vaguely. "If not, I can't imagine what our fate would be like.""Looking back, I think I owe you, Sky. If only you hadn't held my hand, I might not have survived," Louis rubbed his wife's hand.Instead of being touched, Sky sneered. "You were faster than me, Louis. I held your hand so you could pull me. In conclusion, it wasn't me who saved you, but you who saved me."Louis chuckled at the honesty. "Trust me. I couldn't have run that fast if you hadn't held my hand. You gave me strength and motivation, so I could be a hero for you."Sky smiled. Not only because of the sweet kiss she had just received on the back of her hand, but also because Louis was still not tired of praising her."Okay. Let's write that sweet memory here," Sky tapped the book on her lap with a pen. "Apart from that, which other adventure was the most memorable?"Louis pursed his lips. His head tilted up to check his memory. Before he could find an answer,
Louis nodded without hesitation. "Of course. My heart only wants to accept your presence, while my hands only want to touch your skin. Why choose a woman who isn't even on the list of my choices?"Angelica unconsciously gritted her teeth. She was irritated because Louis rejected her so openly. However, she didn't want to ruin her dignity. She straightened up."If you want to spend time alone together, fine. Maybe we can talk another time."She forced a smile, but Louis ignored her. She had no choice but to go away with an annoyed expression."Has she gone?" Louis whispered while twitching his eyebrows.Sky nodded. "Yes. She left the room while stomping her feet."Louis sighed in relief. He could finally lean back and look in all directions. Sky was tickled by his behavior."What's wrong, Louis? Your neck seems sore. Is it because the temp
Louis glanced towards the door. Finding Angelica, he whispered to Sky, "It seems like she's seriously targeting me."Sky's face became even more sullen. Her breathing sounded heavy. "You should have rented the lounge for us," she grumbled softly."Should I do that?"Sky blinked. She didn't realize that she had just voiced her annoyance. "Do what?""Rent this lounge for the two of us?"Sky waved her hand. "No. For what? That's excessive. Other passengers also have the right to enjoy the facilities here.""If it can make you comfortable, I don't mind. Besides, I don't think it's excessive," Louis shrugged, as if he had no burden.Not wanting her husband to waste more, Sky quickly grabbed his hand. "It's okay, Louis. She is a nobody. How could I let her rule my heart and mind? She can't ruin our moment.""But you were grumbling. Your heart and mind are clearly disturbed by her presence," Louis added, raising an eyebrow. "You're jealous, right?"Sky let out a laugh. "No, Louis. I can't be
"Because I'm afraid Summer will see and follow in your footsteps," Louis answered without thinking.Sky gasped. "Are you teasing me again? Are you openly saying that my action in preparing this book was wrong?"Hearing the misunderstanding, Louis' eyes widened. "No, it's not like that. Please don't misunderstand. I don't blame you. Like I said, I'm glad you prepared such a sweet surprise for me. It's just ...."Louis took a deep breath. "I hope Summer will love a brilliant guy who loves her with all his heart and has courage. That way, she won't need to prepare a surprise gift like you. I want her to receive much greater love from the guy she chooses without a long wait. You understand what I mean, right?"Sky was stunned. She thought for a moment. After a blink, she smiled wryly. "You're right. Summer shouldn't follow me. She should avoid misunderstandings and suffering. I hope her love journey goes
