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

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   149. Got Shot

    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!

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   152. Edmund's Blessing

    Louis was stunned to see the tears pooling in Edmund's eyes. He still couldn't believe his own eyes and ears.Did he catch the right sight and words? Receiving Edmund's thanks had never crossed his mind."Excuse me, Sir. Did you just thank me? But .... Didn't you think that I was the cause of the chaos? You yourself said that Summer and Sky wouldn't be in danger if I hadn't met them here," Louis muttered.Edmund smiled wryly, his head shaking sincerely. "No, Louis. It's not entirely your fault. I've been thinking a lot this morning. I think ...."Edmund sighed heavily. Admitting a mistake was not easy."Those people were able to take Sky and Summer away because of my selfishness. If only I hadn't separated them from you, those criminals wouldn't have attacked us. Sky and Summer would still be safe."While Louis was stunned, Sky looked at Edmund with teary eye

    Sky quickly widened her smile. "Nothing. I'm just touched. Now, should we go inside? Summer will complain if she doesn't see us after she finishes her shower."Edmund nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's wait for her in the dining room. After she comes, let's have breakfast together. Fred?"Freddy blinked. His eyes lit up again. "Yes, Sir?""Let's have breakfast!"The man smiled thinly. He thought he was no longer needed. He was a loser who failed to win Sky's heart. But apparently, Edmund still treated him warmly."Okay, Sir." Together with Edmund, he went inside.Meanwhile, Louis walked beside Sky. "So, what's wrong?" he whispered without being heard by the others.Sky glanced thinly. Her eyes blinked, confused about how to tell her worries. "It's about Summer. She ...."Louis raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with Summer?"Sky took a deep breath. "I think," he hesitated for a moment, "Summer hates you."Louis stared wide-eyed. His finger pressed against his chest. "Summer hates me? How

    "They took Mommy to a room. Mommy was sleeping there. Meanwhile, I talked to Kendrick. Do you know, Grandpa? I managed to piss him off. He messed up his hair like this and groaned!" Summer demonstrated Kendrick's anger, that she remembered. This time, she didn't exaggerate.Sky could not help but to hold her breath. She knew what was coming. She didn't expect Louis to find out the truth so quickly.Meanwhile, Louis widened his eyes. He also realized that Summer was going to tell something related to what Sky was about to discuss."What did you guys talk about, Little Human?" he probed, making Sky wince.The innocent Summer answered, "He forced me to hate you, Uncle Louis."Louis flinched. His tongue began to feel stiff. "What?""He forced me to admit that you were my father, but I refused. I insisted that you were not my father, but my daddy," Summer nodded f

    "By the way," Sky said, breaking the silence. She knew Louis needed time to process the situation, "why are we so busy chatting? Let's eat. Our breakfast will get cold if we ignore it for too long.""Yeah," Alice continued, nodding quickly, "let's continue eating. Summer, finish your soup."The toddler adjusted her sitting position. "Okay, Grandma."The others also continued eating breakfast. Only Louis remained frozen in confusion. Various questions hung in his mind.What if Summer could not forgive him? What if she did not want to call him Daddy? And worst of all, what if she did not allow him to marry Sky?"What should I do to atone for my sins to her?" Louis shouted in his heart. For his latest question, he hoped to find the answer soon.Unfortunately, until breakfast was over and Summer was fast asleep, Louis was still like a lifeless body. His thoughts

    Louis took a deep breath. He could feel his chest tightening. "What do you really want to talk about, Sir? Do you want to explain the consequences of my stupidity?""No," Edmund shook his head quickly. "I actually want to help you get to know my daughter and granddaughter better."Louis was stunned. Catching his emotions, Edmund cleared his throat, breaking the awkwardness.That's when Louis blinked. He realized his gaze was too intense."I'm sorry, Sir. I'm grateful that you have such good intention, even though I was the one who caused Sky's suffering.""You shouldn't bring that up again, Louis. I could hit you whenever I remember my mistakes to Sky. It all started with you."Louis nodded. "Okay. Then," he lowered his head, looking back at the photograph in his hand, "what happened after you found this?""I lived in a dilemma," Edmund r

    "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'
