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
A moment later, Louis still could not calm down. The votes for Grace and Sky were still in tight competition. They kept surpassing each other by a very small difference."Sir, why didn't you reveal that Miss Evans was the one who told Kendrick to spread the scandalous video? If the public knew, Miss Hills would definitely get more votes," Omega muttered, who was also tense beside his boss.Louis glanced at him thinly. His eyebrows furrowed. "Did you forget? She is my ex-lover, even though she hasn't accepted it yet. I can't possibly bring her down. Besides, she's Cayden's cousin. I'd rather avoid new disputes and problems.""Is that why you're defending Kendrick?" Gamma mumbled. He was also busy watching the voting results.Louis immediately glanced in the opposite direction. "You just got back here, didn't you? Who told you about that?"Omega widened his eyes, giving a signal to his teammate. However, Gamma was too honest. His finger was already pointed at him. Finding Louis' cynical
"He's taking care of work, but soon, he'll come," Sky had no choice but to lie. "While waiting, why don't you go back to sleep?"Pursing her lips, Summer hugged her tiger plushie. "I hope he won't be long. I can't wait to play with him."Sky nodded. Her chin twitched as she held back her tears. "I hope so too, Honey. Because you deserve to be happy. You deserve a father's love. Forgive me for not fulfilling your rights since long ago, hmm?"Suddenly, Summer smiled a little. "It's okay, Mommy. You don't need to apologize. I've never been mad at you. You are the person I love the most. But please don't tell Daddy. If he's jealous, he won't want to play with me. I don't want to be sad."Sky repeated her head movements with emotion. "Thank you, Honey. Mommy is so lucky to have a child as great as you. Now, do you want something to drink? Or go to the bathroom?""I want to go back to sleep, Mommy. My head feels heavy. I have to be fresh when Daddy comes. I need a lot of energy to play with
"You're their boss, Louis. How could they possibly make a decision against your wishes?" Grace's voice rose.Louis tilted his head to the left. "I didn't ask them to support my decision. I asked for their opinion on what the best decision was.""Still, that's not fair! You shouldn't be defending Sky, Louis. If you wanted her to win, why didn't you tell her to use her employees? Oh, yeah, I just remembered. She doesn't have any employees because she's a nobody."Louis' eyes suddenly dimmed. "Can you stop insulting Sky? Honestly, if she wanted to act, she could have asked for help from her acquaintances. She often guides tourist groups, you know?"Rolling her eyes, Grace muttered to herself, "Do those people care? She's not someone important.""If you didn't ask for help from your employees, could you have gotten more votes?" Louis raised an eyebrow.Grace fell silent. However, her arrogance did not fade at all."Get a grip, Grace," Louis said in a thin voice. "Our relationship must end
Still with a sour expression, Grace played another recording. Summer's voice greeted her again. But this time, the little girl whispered. She seemed afraid that others would hear her voice."Uncle Louis, it's me, Summer. I actually didn't know when I should tell you about this. So, I just left this recording on your phone until you found it yourself.""Have you listened to my conversation with Grace? I recorded it on purpose earlier. I thought you would need it.""Isn't she so scary, Uncle Louis? I thought she was a bad person. But now that I think about it, I feel sorry for her."Grace flinched. She didn't expect to hear that from a 4-year-old."Listen to the recording carefully, Uncle Louis. Doesn't Grace sound like she's desperate? I think that's why she's mad at me and Mommy. She's afraid that we'll take you away from her.""She doesn't want to lose you, Uncle Louis. She must love you very much. That's why I feel sorry for her. Maybe she's right. I shouldn't have ruined your propo
"You shouldn't think that way, Gigi. Summer is not your enemy or rival. She is a friend," River said seriously."If she were a friend, she wouldn't make people ignore me, including you," Gigi said curtly."I'm sorry if you feel like I'm ignoring you. But right now, Summer needs me more. This is her first time going to school, and she's still young. As older kids, it's only natural for us to help," River nodded firmly. He hoped Gigi understood what he meant.Unfortunately, Gigi's expressions only became even more sour. "She doesn't need help, River. We're the ones who need help. If she stayed in class, our learning activities could be messed up. Our school's reputation could fall!""Why do you think that?""Because she's not on the same level as us. My mother said so. Summer doesn't come from a classy family. The school should be ashamed to accept her," Gigi said loudly.Hearing that, River's eyebrows arched to their maximum. His mouth opened wide."Gigi, that's not a nice thing to say
Smiling in relief, Sky stroked Summer's hair. "That's so cool, Honey.""No wonder you're so happy," Louis continued, kissing his daughter's chubby cheek.Summer chuckled. "Yes! Then, we studied math. We talked about numbers. Everyone was surprised that I knew how to write a billion. River was surprised too!"Seeing Summer's finger pointed at him, River quickly nodded. "Yes, Uncle Louis. Summer is very smart. In fact, we only learned to recognize digits up to hundreds, but she's already reached one billion!""Wow, your hard work paid off, Honey," Louis praised warmly."Yes, and it's thanks to Mommy. She taught me diligently. Then, after the lunch break, we studied geography. I was praised again because I memorized many places!"Seeing the sparkle in Summer's eyes, Sky bit her lip. Her heart was filled with emotion. "So, do you like going to school, Honey?"
Hearing that explanation, Summer fell into deep thoughts. She remembered Grace. Gigi's attitude reminded her of that ex-enemy of hers."I'm sorry if I upset you, Gigi. But I didn't mean to steal anyone from you. I came here just to study. I want to know what school is like. If I like it, I'll continue to be here. If not, I'll study independently at home.""Then, just study by yourself. Don't come here again. I don't like you here, and you don't fit into our class either."Summer bit her lip. She stopped eating."I'm sorry, Gigi. I can't fulfill your request. This is my life. Only I have the right to control it. Even if you don't like it, I will still come here. Because it's already part of my plan for the next few days," she said firmly.Gigi flinched. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. "You dare to fight me?"Unexpectedly, Summer let out a tired sigh. "Gigi, I came here to find friends, not enemies. Therefore, please don't pick a fight with me. That's not a good thing to do
While the kids from the next table went back to their seats, River whispered, "Summer, did you learn that from your bank account?""Yes!" Summer exclaimed with wide eyes. "I saw how my savings in the bank book changed. I asked Mommy to explain it."River sighed in amazement. "Wow, I guess you're right. Learning doesn't have to be at school, but can be anywhere. The proof is you can learn a lot of things from one bank book."Summer giggled. She liked being praised, and she was happy that her knowledge was useful in helping her friends.Meanwhile, Gigi lowered her head. She started to squeeze her own fingers. Her annoyance could no longer be controlled."Summer is so mean. She has stolen my teachers and friends. Because of her, everyone ignored me today. She needs to be warned," she said to herself.Therefore, when it was time to break, she followed Summer and
Summer blinked. Her lips were folded into her mouth.Seeing that, Gigi felt satisfied. She was increasingly convinced that Summer didn't understand what they had been discussing."Mrs. Ross, Summer seems too young to be in this class. If she stays with us, it's a shame for her. She'll definitely be left behind," Gigi said with a pitiful face.Mrs. Ross sighed. She remembered, when she received the news about Summer, she had hesitated to accept her. Only after Louis explained about Summer's abilities did her worries subside. But now, that feeling rose again and weighed on her shoulders."Everyone, let's help Summer understand the lesson," Mrs. Ross said while grabbing three number magnets. She arranged them on a special board into the number 123. Before she could ask, Summer raised her hand."Excuse me, Mrs. Ross. May I explain that number?"The teacher raised an eyebrow. "Would you like to try?" she asked with a smile. After all, she couldn't show any hesitation.Summer nodded. Her fi
"Because this is a surprise for you!" River answered with a meaningful smile.Summer's head was tilted to the left. "Surprise?"River handed a book to her. Seeing the front cover, Summer gasped."This is my book! Why did the teacher ask the students to bring it today?" she whispered with round eyes.Her voice was as thin as the wind. It tickled River's ears. The boy chuckled again."I heard from Uncle Brandon, the teachers were impressed with your abilities. It happened when your father assured them that you could keep up with the students in this class. Because of that, the teachers decided to discuss your book. They want the other kids to be inspired by your enthusiasm and achievements.""Wow," Summer sighed in amazement. "I didn't know Daddy did that. He made me sound cool.""You're cool, Summer. Now stop chatting. We'll get told off.
"Who are you, Little Kid? Why are you here with River? Don't you realize that this is not your place? You should come to kindergarten!" she asked sharply.Instead of being afraid, Summer smiled. She held out her hand, saying friendly, "Hello, Gigi. I'm Summer, a temporary student in this class. Nice to meet you."Gigi was reluctant to shake Summer's hand. Luckily, before Summer knew that, two teachers came."Good morning, Everyone."All the kids stared wide-eyed, turning towards the door."Good morning, Mrs. Ross and Miss Jasmine," the students greeted them. Even Summer joined in the greeting, though her voice was a bit late.Then, while the other kids returned to their seats, Gigi grabbed River's hand. "River, let's sit down. I've already picked a spot next to you."River blinked innocently. "Thank you, Gigi. But I still have to take care of Summer. Just go to your seat first."After letting go of Gigi, River grabbed the smaller girl's hand. "Come on, Summer. I've saved a spot for yo
A second later, Summer came out of the limousine. River immediately greeted her with fiery enthusiasm."Wow, Summer? You're wearing a jumpsuit like every other day?" the boy in the neat shirt asked, a little surprised.Summer looked down, checking her clothes. "Is there any problem? Aren't we allowed to dress freely? You said there were no uniforms except for special events."River pursed his lips to one side. "Actually, there's no problem. It's just that I thought you would wear special clothes. It's your first day of school! Some girls even wear dresses, complete with pretty ribbons on their heads.""And your backpack?" River pulled Summer's arm so that the little girl would turn around a little. "Didn't you say you bought school equipment with your parents?"Summer blinked innocently. "Yes, I bought them. They're all in here. You know what? There's a sharpener on the end of my
Summer gasped. She realized that his family's secret was in jeopardy."Sorry, River. I can't tell you yet. After we've been closer, and I've managed to meet Papoy, I'll tell you," she nodded reassuringly.River's lips pursed to one corner. "Okay.""Now, do you need some papers? How about you write down your plans for the next few days?" Summer offered, trying to erase the disappointment on her new friend's face."That's a great idea!"Watching Summer and River's interaction, Omega smiled faintly. He secretly took a picture of them, and sent it to Louis."Report, Boss. The situation is under control. They were just talking about school. It seems like your daughter is starting to get interested."Receiving that message, Louis sighed in disbelief. When he showed it to Sky, Sky also showed the same response."What made Summer change her mind?" Sky whispered in a soft, ticklish voice.Louis shrugged. Stroking Sky's slender waist, he whispered, "Let's just wait. Summer will definitely tell u
