"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

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   14. Louis and Summer's Similarities

    "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

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   15. Making Summer Understand

    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

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   17. A Strange Feeling

    "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

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   18. Please Don't Forget Me

    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

    Suddenly, Louis ran his thumb on the curve of Summer's lips on the paper. His gaze was sad. His heart was heavy. "I've never even made her smile properly," he muttered. "I've only given her tears since we met." Taking a deep breath, Louis looked out the window. Grace's annoyed face flashed through his mind again. But this time, he didn't chase it away. Instead, he faced it bravely. He let it stay while pondering. "I'll have a lot of time with Grace after this is over, but Summer .... I only gave her 24 hours. It should have been a beautiful memory, not a nightmare for her." After swallowing bitterly, Louis looked back at the little girl. Little by little, he clenched his hands. He realized that his regret was not too late. "Yes," Louis confirmed his thoughts. "Ace shouldn't be jealous over something like this. My concern for Summer means nothing. As long as this poor little human is still here, I have to comfort her." With a firm determination, Louis touched Summer's s

    Summer chuckled sweetly. "Yes, Daddy. The four of us fell asleep in one tent. But unfortunately, I woke up in the middle of the night. Uncle Brandon used my sleeping bag as a pillow. I couldn't sleep well without it. Luckily, River was kind enough to lend me his sleeping bag. That's why River and I moved to the next tent.""So it's true that you and River slept together?"Summer nodded innocently. "Yes, Daddy. Just like Uncle Brandon and Aunt Briony. They also slept together," she answered innocently."Your aunt slept together with Brandon?" Sky blurted out.Summer nodded. "Yes. Uncle and Auntie slept together.""But nothing happened," Briony interrupted loudly. Summer blinked. "We just slept. We closed our eyes and fell asleep. That's all."Summer looked at Briony with furrowed brows. "What's wrong, Auntie? Why are you so panicked? Did I say something wrong?

    "Are they still sleeping? Why is it so quiet?" Emily whispered to Cayden."Shall we check their tent?" Cayden offered his arm to his beloved wife.Emily smiled sweetly. Holding her husband's arm, she walked to the nearest tent. When she saw who was inside, she was stunned.Summer was hugging River tightly. Maybe she thought it was Toby. She forgot that her favorite plushie was assigned to guard her room while she was camping."Gosh, Cay .... Aren't they so cute?" Emily whispered with sparkling eyes."Yeah, they look like a pair of caterpillars in a cocoon."Suddenly, Emily patted her husband's chest. "Where's your phone? Quickly take a picture of them! Louis and Sky need to see what their daughter is doing.""What did Summer do? She just slept with her friend," Cayden muttered as he did what his wife ordered."Summer is repeating what Sky did with Louis back then. They will definitely be nostalgic when they see this adorable photo," Emily whispered while observing Cayden's snap. Her h

    Suddenly, some popcorn popped out from behind the pan lid again. "River, they fell again!"River bent down again. Before he could reach the popcorns, Brandon had already picked them up and shoved them into his mouth.River and Brandon finally competed to collect popcorn on the grass to attack each other. The others laughed at their sweet fight.That's when Summer ran with a grip full of popcorn. She put what she was carrying into Briony's mouth. When her aunt got hot, she looked for another target. People immediately ran away, except Emily.For a few moments, they all chased each other. The atmosphere felt more exciting and lively. Moreover, they participated in the game prepared by Summer after that.True to her name, the toddler always brought warmth to everyone. Even when it was time to sleep, she still made the atmosphere feel pleasant.Because they were

    Briony blinked. Her eyes were fixed on the round face that was waiting for her forgiveness."You promise not to match me with anyone again?" she asked, making sure.Summer nodded. "Yes. As Uncle Brandon said, you need time to heal your heart. Your sadness can't be immediately gone just by having a partner. I understand that."Briony's eyebrows arched high. "Brandon said that?"Summer nodded. "Therefore, please don't be angry with me anymore, Auntie. I have repented. I will not repeat my mistakes."Briony fell silent for a moment, digesting the situation. Her heart slowly felt warm.However, Summer had misinterpreted her silence. The toddler moved forward again, daring to hug her."Auntie, please accept my apology. I promise I won't be a bad kid again," Summer said in a pleading tone. Her voice was deliberately made hoarse. Her round eyes looked glassy, like a helpless puppy. She hoped that River's strategy would work for her.Seeing such a cute face, it was impossible for Briony not t

    Thinking that Summer was so cute, Brandon stroked her curly hair. "Briony loves you very much, Summer. If you apologize sincerely, she will forgive you.""And promise not to do it again!" River added quickly. "I always say that every time Uncle Brandon gets angry. He always forgives me afterward. The important thing is that my tone sounds sincere, and my face is pitiful. Sometimes, I even shed a few tears so that he feels sorry."Brandon glanced at his nephew. "All this time, you weren't sincere when you apologized? You were just pretending so that I would forgive you?"River chuckled. With a sweet smile, he massaged Brandon's shoulders. "I'm sincere, Uncle. I love you.""We'll talk about that later. Now, help Summer apologize to Briony."River nodded quickly. "Yes, Commander!" Then, he grabbed the little girl's hand."Summer, let's see your aunt!"&nb

    Feeling sorry, Brandon finally spoke up. "Summer, River, stop. If you want to help, please push the rope in the opposite direction from under my back."Oh, that's right. If we want to untie the rope, we have to move the rope in the opposite direction," Summer muttered, agreeing. "River, let's take action!""Ready, Commander!" River crouched on the grass, preparing to push the rope under Brandon's back. "Uncle, Auntie, come on, lift your bodies!"Briony's eyebrows were knitted together again. "How do we do it? Should I—wow!"Brandon lifted his back up and supported his weight on his elbows. Briony's body automatically lifted. She quickly pressed the ground with her hands. With her back arched back like that, she looked like she was doing yoga."River, quickly push the rope. Summer, you pull the rope from this side," Brandon instructed.Instead of carrying out her task, Summer took out her phone. "Wait a minute. Your pose is funny. This needs to be documented. River, please step aside f

    Summer's laughter echoed again. "Sorry, Auntie. I'm not ignoring you. It's just that I'm afraid you'll get tired. Moving the rope takes a lot of energy.""Do you want to try it? I don't mind you taking my job. But, are you strong enough?" Brandon teased.Briony narrowed her eyes. "Do you think I'm weak?""This rope is quite heavy. Your arms will get sore if you do it for a long time," Brandon shrugged his shoulders.Briony sighed in disbelief. She couldn't accept Brandon, considering her weak.Before the two adults argued, Summer intervened, "If you want to try it, take a few more steps, Auntie. We do need a variety of data."Briony agreed without any suspicion. At that moment, the children glanced at each other meaningfully.Once Briony finished her task, Summer stepped forward to give further instructions. While the adults were distract

    River looked at the monitor. Finding two children who were busy arranging popsicle sticks on the ground, his laughter escaped."It looks like they are making a craft stick chain reaction," he muttered.Briony's eyebrows arched high. "How did you know?""I made it with Louis and Emily once."Briony smiled faintly. "Your memories with Emily seem to be memorable."Brandon's eyes immediately narrowed. "Are you teasing me again?""No," Briony waved her hand. "I'm just stating the truth."Brandon's smile turned fragile. His eyes were a little misty. "Well, you're right. I have many memories with Emily, and also Louis. Please don't forget the last statement. I don't want any misunderstandings. Besides, I've moved on. How many times do I have to repeat it for you to believe me?"Briony laughed in satisfaction. "Okay, I believe you. Congratulations, Mr. Young. You have successfully emerged from the shadow of the past."Brandon snorted sarcastically. But then, he laughed along with Briony. His

    Seeing Summer's pleading face, River finally gave in. He peered through the binoculars. Not long after, his attention shifted to the other side."What about the plants in those water tubes?" he pointed without lowering the binoculars from his face."I'm observing the factors that affect leaf respiration. I will measure how much oxygen is collected in the tubes every day," Summer explained smoothly.River's mouth rounded. After observing through the binoculars for a while, he raised his finger again. "The clearest tube collects the most air!""Yeah! That means photosynthesis occurs faster if the plants get a lot of light," Summer nodded with an adorable serious face.River looked further. From end to end, plants and seeds were neatly lined up in various containers."It seems like you won't let me explore that side too," River muttered, somewhat disappointed. A
