How are you, guys? Hope you're doing well. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
In front of a hut far from the habitation, Louis was sitting in the car with his bodyguard."Are you sure this is the place?" he asked, whispering.Omega checked the laptop again. "Yes, the signal came from here."Louis furrowed his brows even more. He glanced at the small wooden building. There were no signs of life observed. There was only darkness and the cold of the night that made anxiety worse. For some reason, Louis felt that Summer and Sky were not in the hut."Let's check it out. Maybe there are clues we can find," Louis unbuckled his seatbelt.The bodyguard stared wide-eyed. "The emergency team and the police will arrive soon, Sir. Don't you want to wait for them?""Those people are slow. After all, every second counts. So, let's move," Louis grumbled before getting out of the car.Seeing his master walking towards the hut, Omeg
The tall guy was stunned to see Sky's throbbing jaw and her shaking shoulders. He thought it was just a trick to escape. But then, he began to believe that something had happened to the toddler."Nonsense. We didn't poison her," he denied flatly. His tone of voice had dropped a lot."Then why is her mouth foaming like that? Why did she have a seizure, and now she's unconscious?"Curious, the tall guy opened the door wider. Finding Summer lying stiffly with foam dripping down her cheek, he swallowed hard. His boss would be very angry if the toddler died before being thrown into the ravine. Their plan would fall apart.With a heavy sigh, the guy went inside. Just as he stepped into the room, both of his feet slid forward."Wooah, what's going on?" His arms flapped, looking for balance.Before he could find it, a kick from Sky knocked him down. His head accidentally hit the floor. In that instant, the world turned dark for him."Oh my God," Sky gasped while covering her mouth. "Did I kic
Summer pointed to the gun holster attached to the fierce guy's waist. "I secured this gun before Mommy tied him up. I was afraid he would suddenly wake up and shoot us."Sky sighed in admiration. "Very good, Honey. You're like a real cowboy sheriff."Hearing the praise, Summer chuckled. "Does that mean I can use this gun to defeat the enemy, Mommy?"Sky's smile shrank. "Sorry, Honey. You're still too young to use a gun. Besides, your aim is still not accurate. Just wait a few more years, okay? Until then, practice diligently," she secured the gun from her daughter's hand.Summer's face turned sullen. "When Mommy was my age, Mommy already used a gun.""That's because the situation was urgent. I had to save the orangutan from poachers," Sky said while checking the ammunition."Our situation is also urgent, Mommy. There are two people we have to defeat. If only
Sky bit her lip. After a quick thought, she whispered again, "I'll turn to face him. Your job is to hide behind me with very slow movements. Understand?""Understood, Mommy." Summer watched her mother. She planned to follow her speed.However, just as their feet lifted a little, the sound of a rifle being reloaded was heard. Kendrick's exclamation followed, "Do you think I'm joking?"The mother and daughter turned still."It's not like that. We just want to turn around. Are you comfortable talking to us without looking at each other?" Sky said loudly."Mommy, he asked that because he's not an educated person. He doesn't know that talking without looking at the person we're talking to is impolite!" Summer continued, nodding firmly.Sky immediately glanced at her daughter. "Honey? Did you forget that I forbade you to provoke him?"Summer pu
Kendrick was entertained by the conversation between the mother and daughter. After clearing his throat, he stepped closer."How do you feel about him, Little Girl? Will you hate him? He is a bad person who has ignored you and left your mother to struggle alone," he shrugged as if he didn't care about it.Summer was pensive. She didn't realize that her mother was nervously waiting for her answer."Mommy said, hating other people is not a good thing. So, I won't hate him. I will only be angry and give him a severe punishment," Summer nodded while putting her hands on her hips.Kendrick was satisfied with her response. Moreover, Sky's face grew gloomy beside the toddler."Well then," Kendrick narrowed his eyes, "how about we make a deal? I won't throw you off the cliff as long as ... you do what I say."Summer furrowed her brows. Thinking, she looked up at Sky. Her mother gave her a hint with a shake of her head.Seeing that, Kendrick quickly spoke, "You still want to live, right? If yo
Summer took a step back. Her eyes were round. "Why did you tell me to do that? That's cruel, Sir. I don't want to be a bad person. I don't want to go to jail or hell."Kendrick's lips were curled into a frown. With a stiff look, he raised an eyebrow. "So, you refuse my order?""Yes! I'm a good kid. I will only do good things."The corner of Kendrick's lips was twitched cynically. "So you choose your father over your mother?"Summer blinked, her eyebrows lowered again. "What do you mean, Sir?""Did you forget? If you refuse my order, it means I have to shoot your mother."Summer gaped. She understood now. Kendrick was forcing her to choose one."So, who will you save? Your father or your mother? I need to remind you. If you choose your mother, I can guarantee that both of you will be safe. But if you choose your father, your mother will definitely die and your father will most likely not survive. Do you choose to lose one parent or two?"Summer pouted. Tears began to gather in her eyes.
Louis looked at Summer's face. He just realized that the toddler's eyes were also filled with tears."Is that so? You're not scared at all?"Summer pinched the air with her index finger and thumb. "A little, but I'm not scared anymore now. You're here. I know you can take good care of me and Mommy," she hugged Louis again, more tightly.Receiving such sweet treatment, Louis laughed faintly. While pressing his head against her curly hair, he patted her small back."I'm glad you're okay, Little Human. You're not hurt, are you? I saw you running really fast earlier."Summer chuckled. "Yes, I'm fine. Just a little tired and sleepy. I only took a short rest last night. There were a lot of things I had to do. But that's no problem. I'm happy because my plan and strategy went smoothly. Moreover, we've managed to defeat the villain."With an adorable smile, Louis stroked Summer's hair. After kissing her forehead, he whispered, "You're an amazing child, Summer. I'm so proud of you."Summer smil
"Thank you, Sky," Louis kissed the back of her hand. "I promise I won't waste your chance."Sky nodded. After a moment of silence, she closed her eyes to welcome Louis' soft kiss. They only stopped when Omega cleared his throat from behind the wheel."Sir, I'm sorry. We've arrived."Louis and Sky finally took some distance. While catching their breath, they smiled shyly."Let's continue it later, hmm?" Louis whispered, teasingly.Sky nudged his arm. "We shouldn't do anything for now. Papa is still watching us."Louis nodded obediently. At that moment, Edmund ran out of the house. Alice and Freddy followed behind."Summer? Sky?" Edmund called with an anxious face.As if hearing the call, Summer opened her eyes. Realizing that the car had stopped, she sat up."We're home?" she muttered hoarsely. With eyes still droopy, she looked out the window."Oh? Grandpa? Grandma?"In an instant, her spirits rose. Her smile widened, her eyes brightened."Mommy, Uncle Louis, let's get out of the car!
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
"Mommy, Daddy, I'll take River to play in my exploration room. Thank you for the explanation you've given. We'll talk again later, okay?"Louis and Sky smiled in amusement. "Okay, Honey. Have fun with your new friend.""Okay, Mommy."After waving her hand, Summer walked with River towards her room. The two of them looked so cute from behind."Louis, are you familiar with that scene?" Sky whispered softly.Louis nodded. "They're just like us. I hope they can be good friends too."While Sky nodded, Louis shifted his gaze towards Omega. "Please keep an eye on them. If River says something inappropriate for his age, give him a warning. Although he is a good boy, we still have to be careful. He watches too much TV."The guard nodded. "Yes, Sir." After that, he hurried after the children. His responsibilities had become heavier. He knew that he
"Now that I think about it," River pondered. "Uncle Louis, you're right. Summer and I are still too young to get married. Even if we were meant to be, it would take a few more years for us to do it.""Really? You won't marry me until we're adults?" Summer still sounded suspicious."Yes," River nodded casually. "Like you said, there are still many things we have to do before getting married. We're still young. We should focus on preparing ourselves for the future. Moreover, we're heirs to big companies."A second later, River turned his body to fully face Summer. He held out his hand."How about being friends?" he suggested. "We can play and study together. If we're meant to be, we can get married when we're adults.""What if I still don't like you when we're grown up? Are you going to force me to get married to you?" Summer asked, making Louis and Sky glance at each other.River lowered his hand. His lips were pulled to one side. "I think it's too soon for us to talk about that. I don'
