Sky flinched when she opened her eyes. Louis' face was so close in front of her.

"Louis? Did you sleep here all night?" Sky spontaneously sat up.

Hearing her sigh, Louis woke up. As his consciousness returned, he also lifted his back from the bed.

"Gosh!" Louis clutched his head. His eyes widened, not believing where he was. "I fell asleep here?"

Frowning anxiously, Sky elbowed his arm. "You said you would move to the couch after Summer fell asleep?"

"Yes, but it turns out, I fell asleep too. How could I walk out of the room if I was already asleep? That's Emily's bad habit, not mine."

Grimacing, Sky blinked in resignation. At that moment, she realized that Summer was no longer between them.

"Get out quickly! If Papa sees the two of us here, he will misunderstand. His anger will explode even more violently than last night."

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   128. Did You Sleep Soundly?

    Suddenly, Summer widened her eyes. "Grandma, is it heavy?"She approached Alice who was carrying a large pot. When she was about to help, her grandmother said, "Don't touch it, Honey. It's hot."Summer quickly pulled her hand away. "Oops, sorry, Grandma. I just wanted to help.""It's okay, Honey. Next time be careful when holding something, okay?" Alice said as she put the pot on the table.Summer nodded sweetly. "Okay, Grandma.""Good. Now sit down. You have to taste my special porridge."Summer's eyes sparkled. She quickly climbed onto her chair, peering into the bowl that Alice had placed in front of her."Carrot porridge! Thank you, Grandma. I'll eat a lot of it. I also want to have sharp eyesight like a rabbit."Summer put her hands on her head, imitating rabbit ears. Seeing her cuteness, Edmund laughed faintly."Rabbits' eyesight actually isn't that great, Summer. They do have sharp long-distance vision, but their close-up vision is not so good. Their only advantage lies in the

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   129. A New Guy

    In front of a blue lake surrounded by mountains, Summer stretched her arms and took a deep breath. Her eyes were closed, her smile so bright. She loved to enjoy the fresh morning air. When her eyelids were lifted again, she turned to face the man beside her."How is it, Uncle Louis? Isn't it very refreshing?"Louis opened his eyes. He turned around. Summer was waiting for his answer with a radiant face."Yes, my lungs feel clean now. Thank you for bringing me here, Summer. Now I know that the beauty of this place has not changed."Summer giggled proudly. "You're welcome, Uncle. Now ...."The toddler pulled Louis' hand, "Show me where you were when you first saw Mommy. She said, you were playing with Aunt Emily and Uncle Russell at that time."Louis happily held her tiny hand. Together, they walked along the edge of the lake."The lake water was very cold at that time. My siblings and I splashed water on each other, here."Louis stopped walking. Summer's eyes rounded, seeing his last st

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   130. Edmund's Plan

    "Gosh, Freddy. I never thought we'd meet again. How are you?" Sky asked in a cheerful voice.After patting Sky's back twice, the man replied, "Fine. How are you?"Sky took the distance while nodding, "Fine.""Are you sure? Even though my job is just adventuring, I still have time to observe the media."Sky slowly lost her smile. "I've caused quite a stir, apparently. Even the guy who only stares at nature knows. You don't have to worry, Fred. I'm fine. That problem has been resolved. By the way, why are you here?""Believe it or not, I came to see you."Sky narrowed her eyes. "See me? Do I owe you anything?" she whispered softly.Freddy chuckled. "No. It's just that, ever since I saw you on the news, my heart has been restless. I wanted to see you in person, to make sure you're okay."Freddy's eyes were full of warmth

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   131. Louis' Rival

    Sky frowned. She didn't agree with what her father said. So did Alice. She realized Louis' face had turned sour.However, before they could say anything, Summer shook her head firmly. "No, Grandpa. I have Uncle Louis now. We have agreed to treat each other as father and daughter. After he marries Mommy, I will call him Daddy."Edmund froze, but Freddy was still trying to keep a smile. "Uncle Louis?" he whispered, sounding surprised."Yeah, you should meet him, Uncle Fred." Summer patted Freddy's shoulder, then extended her hand to Louis.Seeing her gesture, Louis approached them. "Hi, I'm Louis." He was reluctant to say he was pleased to meet Freddy.The man carrying Summer raised the corners of his lips. "Finally, I get to meet the famous Louis Harper. Hi, I'm Freddy. Just call me Fred." He shook Louis' hand while carrying Summer with one arm.Louis shook hi

    "Summer," Freddy called loudly.The toddler, who was already a little ahead, turned around. "What's wrong, Uncle Fred?""Didn't you say you wanted to listen to the story of my adventure? How about I tell you about it now?"Summer glanced at Louis. Hesitation dimmed the light in her eyes. "Uncle Louis, do you mind?"Louis shook his head slightly. "Just do what you like, Summer.""Okay. Let's talk again later. Okay, Uncle?"Louis nodded. After that, he switched positions with Freddy. The path was narrow. There was no way he could force himself to walk side by side with Summer and the adventurer."Hey, what were you guys talking about?" Louis whispered when Sky arrived at his side.Sky took a deep breath, "He said he was jealous of you. He doesn't like seeing you close to Summer and me."Louis snorte

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   133. So Touching

    Louis spontaneously laughed. He was amused to see how expressive his daughter was. However, realizing Edmund's cynical glance, he closed his mouth again and listened."After many efforts, Mommy decided to use a rope. I was in charge of holding it from above while Mommy tied the other end to the baby elephant's body. It was an important task because the rope must not fall. If it got wet, it would become slippery. It would be difficult for Mommy and I to pull it.""Your mom wasn't strong enough to push the baby elephant out of the hole. Wouldn't it be harder if you guys pulled it from above?" Freddy's voice suddenly caught all their attention. It was Louis' turn to have a sour expression."We weren't strong enough at first. I had used all my strength, though. The veins in my hands were sticking out."The toddler looked down, pointing to where the veins she meant. After a brief silence, she raised her h

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   134. Winning Summer's Heart

    "In two months, it will be autumn here. The air is too cold for Summer and Sky to wear beautiful dresses. They'll freeze. Besides, they prefer to be warm," Freddy stated.Louis' face turned stiff. "Do you think I will let them get cold? I can build a building with glass walls and a roof with a heating system. They can still dance in cool clothes while watching the aurora with me."Hearing the argument, Summer frowned. "I don't think you need to do that, Uncle Louis. That building must be very expensive. You'd be better off saving the money for something more useful. Besides ...."Summer moved to Sky's lap. "Mommy and I don't mind dancing outside. We can wear coats over our pretty dresses. We'll stay warm and still look stunning. Isn't that right, Mommy?"Sky smiled a little. She was proud of her daughter. "That's right, Honey. You're beautiful no matter what you wear.""Mommy too

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   135. The Threat

    Edmund's face turned sullen again. He wondered why his granddaughter had fallen for Louis so easily. In fact, he thought Freddy was more charming.As a result, he didn't talk much for the rest of the night. Even when they returned to the camping area, he just took Alice into the tent. He was disappointed because, up until that moment, Freddy still hadn't managed to attract Summer's attention."What else should I do? How can I make Sky and Summer like Freddy more?" he thought as he stretched out his sleeping bag.While Edmund was seriously contemplating, suddenly, Summer's scream was heard. As fast as lightning, he and Alice crawled out.Sky immediately let go of the chair she was setting up. She ran to Summer's tent too, followed by Louis and Freddy."Honey, what's wrong?" Sky asked spontaneously from the tent door.It turned out that Summer had been standing

    "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

    "Did you forget? We're heading to the South Pole. There are no time zones there. Ghosts can show their presence at any time," Draco said, not looking like he was joking at all.Angelica sighed tiredly. "Can you just focus on our mission?""I'm focused.""What's the proof?" Angelica asked in a challenging tone.Draco thought for a moment. "I've made a plan to approach Sky. Tonight, she and I will be in the same bed.""What's your plan?"A lopsided smile appeared on Draco's sly face. "I'll let you know if you're willing to accompany me in bed."Angelica snorted in disgust. "You think my price is that low? My target is Louis Harper. If I can get a big prize, why would I be aiming for crumbs?""You talk as if you're sure to get him," Draco muttered.Angelica didn't like his tone. "You'll regret underestimating me. This charm of mine," she flipped her hair, "no one can resist it."Draco snorted in amusement. "Please don't be too confident. You'll get depressed if your mission fails.""You'
