Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy 13. Summer's Wound
"You're bleeding," Louis murmured as he examined Summer's hand. Summer glanced at her palm. Turned out, there were some scratches there. "Does it hurt?" Louis asked. Summer nodded. "But I've fallen a lot. That's why I carry plasters and antiseptic in my bag," she said between sobs. Louis smiled wryly. He took a look at Summer's knees. There were dust spots on her jumpsuit. "Come here. Sit." Louis, still half-kneeling, lifted the toddler onto his lap. With one hand, he rolled up her pants to her knees. As expected, he found scratches on her skin. "Are there any other injuries besides this?" he asked softly. Summer lifted one of her legs with furrowed brows. Her back was slightly hunched. "I think I have a hole in the sole of my foot. I accidentally stepped on something sharp. It hurts right down to the bone." Hearing that, Louis rushed to check. Finding the sole of her tiny foot full of red spots, he let out a sigh of relief. "Your foot doesn't have a hole, Summer

"Then what else? Pick a few," Louis said stiffly. He felt silly for trying to match Summer's taste to his. "Oh, this is difficult. I like food. I can eat everything heartily, except for those curly greens. I don't really like broccoli, but Mommy said it has a lot of benefits. So, I'm forced to eat it." Louis froze again. It was exactly the same as what he had experienced when he was a child. "But Uncle Louis," Summer's voice made him blink, "is all this food safe? I mean, no almonds or shrimps, right?" Louis' eyes were as wide as they could be. He knew that Sky was allergic to almonds. It was very possible that it was inherited to Summer. But shrimps? Why was Summer afraid of shrimps? "What's with the almonds and shrimps?" Louis acted stupid. "They're bad, Uncle. They can make me itchy and short of breath." Louis tried not to change his expression. However, his mind was too noisy with questions. His forehead frowned even more. Who was Summer actually? Why did she have s

After breakfast, Louis took Summer to his study room. There, they sat facing each other. A book was spread out on the table, right in front of Louis. "What are we going to do here, Uncle? Are we going to play? Or are you going to teach me about business?" Summer smiled sweetly. Her hands were folded neatly under her chin. The table was indeed too high for her. "I'm here to help you," Louis said as he uncapped a pen. "Can you tell me the criteria of a father you want?" "What is criteria?" Summer tilted her head. "Criteria are standards or measurements used to determine something. In short, what kind of father do you want?" Summer's eyes lit up instantly. She thought Louis was learning to be a good father to her. "I want to have a father like you!" "Can you describe it in more detail? What do you like about me?" Summer pointed out her finger. "First, you are handsome and cool. You will make a good couple with Mommy, even though Mommy needs to dress up a little." Louis

Louis took a deep breath. He realized that it was no use trying to persuade Summer. She would not change her mind. Louis would rather wait for Sky to arrive. Maybe only she could conquer Summer. Suddenly, the toddler rubbed her eyes. Seeing that, Louis leaned his head closer. "Summer, are you crying?" Summer didn't answer. Her back was hunched, her head bowed. She only peeked a little. Before Louis could see her eyes, she bent her neck again. "Oh, Summer," Louis knelt beside her. "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I have to do this. You have to learn that, in this life, we can't have everything we want." Summer let out a faint sigh, her shoulders dropped lower. Her silence made Louis feel bad. He had to find a way to cheer her up. "Summer, instead of being sad, how about playing with me?" Summer lifted her head slightly. "Play what?" "Anything you want. For the next 24 hours, just pretend I'm your father. You can take me anywhere, do anything. I won't mind as lo

"Since when did your mother write books?" Louis asked stiffly. Summer chuckled. "Isn't Mommy amazing? Since she gave birth to me, Mommy didn't want to bother Grandpa and Grandma. She said she could raise me on her own. That's why," she took a quick breath before continuing. "Mommy worked hard as a guide. In her spare time, she would make illustrations and write stories to make into books." Then, Summer touched several books in turn with her tiny finger. "These are the stories about Mommy's adventures when she was little. While this ...." Summer slid her hand over to another pile. Her name was written on the title. “This is the story of my adventure.” Louis was stunned again. He reached for the book Summer first showed him. A boy was pictured on the cover. As expected, the book told the story of Sky's adventures with Emily and himself in the past. His name was disguised. However, he knew very well that the boy in the story was him. “Why are you showing me these books?” Lou

Without Summer knowing, Louis quietly called the shop assistant. When the young man approached, he whispered, "Distribute all of Summer Hills' books to the schools in this city. I'll cover the costs." The shop assistant widened his eyes. "All of Summer Hills' books? Do you mean everything on this shelf, Sir?" "Everything displayed on shelves and stored in warehouses in all branches." The employee's eyes grew wider. "A-all branches?" "Is that enough to make it a bestseller?" Louis whispered. "I-I don't think so, Sir. The book has only been printed once and not in large quantities. Maybe because the prospects are not so profitable." "Then, contact the branches in other cities. I want all Summer Hills books sold out in this country." The shop assistant sighed in disbelief. While suppressing admiration, he nodded vigorously. "Okay, Sir! We will do it right away. Is there anything else we can help you with, Sir?" Louis fell into a thoughtful consideration. After one blink,

Summer giggled at her appearance in the mirror. She looked so cool in her cowboy hat, blue plaid shirt, and leather vest that matched her brown boots. Plus, her pants were frilly, and her belt was shaped like a cow's head across her stomach. "Oh, this is the best outfit I've ever worn," she said, spreading her arms. Seeing her funny response, the clerk, who was helping her in the fitting room, smiled. "Our store is indeed the best in T City. But, Little Lady, you're not done yet. There's still a red scarf that you have to put on your neck." The young girl spread out the scarf that had been folded in half to form a triangle. With pleasure, Summer lifted her chin. "Please put it on for me, Miss," she asked politely. "With pleasure, Little Lady." As soon as the scarf was around her neck, Summer smiled proudly. She quickly ran outside, hoping to show Louis her appearance. But it turned out, Louis was still in the next fitting room. "Uncle Louis, why are you so slow? I'm alrea

"Are you afraid that paparazzi will take pictures of us?" Summer asked in a disappointed tone. Before Louis could answer, Summer sighed in resignation. Her head was lowered with a gloomy face. "Too bad. I really wanted to try it. This is my only chance to feel what Uncle Cayden felt," she muttered dully. Hearing that, Louis' eyebrows knitted together. "What did Cayden feel? Did he and Emily ever ride the Ferris wheel together?" Not getting an answer, Louis continued, "Summer, you can do it later when you're older, when you have a boyfriend. It'll be much more fun." Summer peeked out of the corner of her eye, her puffed cheeks making her lips look pursed. "Uncle Cayden didn't go there with Aunt Emily," she corrected. Louis blinked indifferently. "Then who?" "Uncle Cayden rode the Ferris wheel with his mom and dad. He said he was very young at the time, but he remembers it because it was so much fun." While Louis was stunned, Summer took a deep breath. "I thought I

Sky listened to her daughter intently. Once Summer finished, she winced."Please forgive my negligence and Summer's carelessness, Sir. I didn't think she could run in a place like this. She had promised to be careful.""It was because of the alarm, Mommy. It wasn't entirely my fault. I ran to save myself," Summer whispered while nudging her mother's leg."Still, Honey. You wouldn't have bumped into Mr. Harper if you had been more careful. You should have looked ahead when you were running.""That's because I have to be alert. I thought it was a fire alarm. Of course I have to get away from the fire," she grumbled with pursed lips.Watching the mother and daughter argue, Kara smiled. "Sky, I'm so happy to meet you again. Especially, since you brought your cute daughter. Do you want to go upstairs? We can talk more freely up there.""What's up there?" Summer asked while standing on her tiptoes. "Is it a meeting room? Aunt Emily once told me that people gathered in that room to talk abou

Hearing her mother's name, Summer blinked. With Kara's help, she sat up."Oh, my arms must have been injured again," she muttered while checking her left elbow.As it turned out, her guess was right. Her skin was already red."Oh my .... Your elbow is bruised. Please forgive my husband, Sweetheart. We were in a hurry. He must not have seen you. Usually, there are no children running around here," Kara said softly. Her hand was stroking the little girl's hair.With attention fixed on her wound, Summer murmured, "It's okay, Ma'am. I am the one who wasn't careful enough. I ran because I thought there was a fire. The alarm sounded really loud. I had to find Mommy and get out to a safe zone."Kara felt even more guilty hearing the innocent confession. "That wasn't a fire alarm, Sweetheart. It was a warning about a press raid, and everyone needs to be alert."Summer's eyes immediately rounded. "That wasn't a fire?"She finally looked at the beautiful woman. That's when another surprise came

"Are you more afraid of Orion than me?" Grace raised an eyebrow.The secretary lowered her head even more. "It's not like that, Miss. I just—"Suddenly, Grace grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. She put both items in front of the secretary."You don't have to say it. Just write it down," Grace insisted, curtly.The secretary hesitated for a moment. However, unable to stand Grace's intimidating aura, she finally complied.Unfortunately, when Grace found out Orion's message, the atmosphere worsened. She slammed her fist on the table. Her shoulders heaved up and down, shaking with anger."That filthy woman ...." she groaned, furious. "I will never let her take Louis away from me. Never!"***"Mommy, is that where Uncle Louis and Aunt Emily work?" Summer asked as she pressed her face against the car window.Sky smiled slightly. "Yes, Honey. That's the Savior Group headquarters.""Wow! That building is huge, Mommy. I think there are thousands of people working there," Summer said in awe.A
Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy 67. Bad Possibilities
Orion said, "Sky was already in M City the night you were involved in the scandal. She went to the hotel where you were hanging out with your friends."Louis' breathing became heavier. "Then? What else did you hear?""It seems like Sky still kept it from Emily. Emily was also wondering why Sky didn't come to your graduation the next morning. In fact, in their last conversation, Sky was still excited about attending."Louis' brows furrowed more deeply. His face looked older now. "How did Emily know Sky was there?" he mumbled softly."I don't know. Emily didn't mention it. She just told Cayden her assumption."Louis' eyes widened. "What assumption?""She thought Sky ran away because of you."Orion's answer successfully strangled Louis' neck. He was starting to have trouble breathing. Bad possibilities appeared in his mind."Did Sky leave because I kicked her out while I was drunk? Or, did she disappear because she was heartbroken to find out about my scandal? Did she really love me? Or

The secretary swallowed hard. She glanced at Louis. Her voice lowered, "Sorry, Sir. I didn't really want to interrupt, but the other Mr. Harper insisted me on giving this to you."The secretary slipped a piece of paper into Louis' hand. Instead of examining it, Louis narrowed his eyes. "The other Mr. Harper?""Mr. Orion."Louis flinched slightly. How important was the information Orion wanted to convey that he dared to interrupt the press conference in such a way?After signalling his secretary to leave, Louis unfolded the paper. A sentence was written on it."She was in the same hotel as you were that night!"In an instant, Louis' breath caught. All his nerves tensed. His eyes trembled violently, trying to find the lost memory.Unfortunately, he found no clues. What happened that night seemed to be permanently erased from his brain."Sky was in M City that night? She was in the same hotel as I was? Could it be ... she was that girl? And Summer is my daughter?" Louis thought as he gri
Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy 65. The Clarification
"Was that Orion?" Grace inquired while furrowing eyebrows.Louis nodded. "He said there was also a commotion in the office. He advised me to handle it immediately.""Does it mean that my decision to move the schedule forward was right?" Grace asked for confirmation."Yes," Louis replied stiffly, "I think it was right. Now our job is to make the reporters believe us. They should no longer doubt our relationship.""You know what, Louis? I have a very good idea to control public opinion quickly and efficiently."Louis raised an eyebrow, interested. Just as Grace was about to explain, his phone rang again. Knowing Orion's name appeared on the screen, his face turned grim.Meanwhile, Grace blinked stiffly. Her suspicions arose."Why did he call you again?" she inquired.Louis took a deep breath. "I don't know." He rejected Orion's call."What were you guys talking about just now? Wasn't your chat over? You also said you would announce the clarification soon. He shouldn't call you again."Lo

With a faint sigh, Louis forced his head up. However, his mind was too heavy. As a result, he could only see the secretary from the corner of his reddened eyes."I'm fine. Thank you for giving me these. You can get out now," he said coldly.The young woman across the table quickly straightened up her back. Tension enveloped her nerves. "Okay, Sir. Excuse me."As the door closed again, Louis reached for his phone. He could no longer pretend to be indifferent. He had to call Summer immediately, find a way to make up for his mistake towards her.Unfortunately, the toddler's number was not active. Louis contacted Sky, but his efforts were still in vain."Are they on a flight, so their phones were turned off?" Louis thought, restless.After a quick calculation, disappointment appeared on his face. "Am I not destined to be close to Summer? Could it be that God did not allow me to contact her in order to protect Grace's feelings?"While Louis was guessing, a call came to his phone. He flinche
Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy 63. Missing Summer
Failing to erase the shadow of Summer, Louis got up from bed. He went to the kitchen, wanting to grab a cold drink. Maybe it could refresh his common sense so that he would be more awake.However, as soon as he opened the refrigerator, his body froze. His gaze fell on a pack of milk that was labeled."Summer's!" That was the warning written on it.Remembering what the toddler did when she first arrived at the penthouse, Louis smiled wryly. He didn't realize that his tears began to well up in his eyes."That little human ...." Louis swallowed bitterly. "She should have said goodbye to me before she left."Instead of getting iced water, Louis closed the refrigerator. He left the kitchen, going to the guest room.There, he was lost in thought again. He stood near the light switch. His eyes kept focusing on the bed as if Summer was lying there. When he realized that all he saw was just a shadow, he snorted sadly."She's not here anymore, but how can she still bother me?"While looking down
Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy 62. Summer's Shadow
"Honey," Sky whispered after a moment of silence, "do you still hope that I'll marry someone? Do you still want ... to have a daddy?"Summer blinked innocently. "Why did you ask that, Mommy? Have you changed your mind? Do you want to marry Uncle Louis now? But Uncle Louis is going to marry Grace soon. He can't be my daddy anymore.""No, Honey. Not Uncle Louis," Sky whimpered. "If you really want a daddy, I can work for you. I'll find a boyfriend. Maybe there's someone out there who's willing to marry me and be your daddy.""No, Mommy," Summer refused firmly. "I'm not interested in having a daddy anymore."Sky's eyes widened. "Why?""I don't want people to think you're a bad person."Sky's chest suddenly felt tight. Her lungs constricted, trapped by sadness that was hard to describe."Honey," Sky stroked Summer's chubby cheeks that looked a little shrunken, "why do you think so? I can find a man who doesn't have a girlfriend. No one will think I'm bad if I dated a single man."However,
