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 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

    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's smile widened again. "Let's find a ride that we can both do. Oh, how about that train?" "That's called a roller coaster, Little Human. Too bad you're not old enough." "What about that one?" Summer pointed to the chairs hanging by ropes on a merry-go-round. "You're not old enough for a swinger either." Summer pouted. "Then, what's allowed for me?" Louis pointed his finger. "The cars over there. You can choose any car you like." "Can we ride that together?" Louis pursed his lips. "I think so." Summer's eyes lit up again. "Then, let's go there!" Summer walked beside Louis. The other children were still watching her. Realizing that, Summer smiled proudly. But then, the curve of her lips shrank. All the children she saw were holding hands with their respective parents. She was the only one who was walking without being held. While furrowing her eyebrows, Summer glanced at Louis' hand. Their distance was close enough for her to reach it. "Does Unc

    "Oh no!" Louis shouted in his heart. His breath grew shorter and shorter. "What should I tell Sky? Should I admit that I neglected to look after her daughter? But there's no way I can say that Summer is missing because of my carelessness!" While staring at his phone, Louis considered. His thumbs went up and down, following his hesitation. Even though his phone stopped vibrating, he still hadn't made a decision. His body kept freezing until finally, he blinked. "Since when did I become such a coward?" With a sigh, Louis broke his stiffness. "I am Louis Harper. I never neglect my responsibilities. I promised Sky to look after Summer. That means I have to ensure her safety and security." After keeping his phone in his pocket, Louis straightened up his back. He took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind. "How can I find Summer now? Should I make a report and reveal my identity? If so, it would be useless for me to paint my face like this." Suddenly, Louis gasped. He rem

    Sky's face turned pale. She never thought that her secret could be revealed."No. That's not true. I mean, it's true that I borrowed money from a loan shark. But I've paid it off. I'm no longer in debt, and I never aimed for Louis' assets," she explained in a thin and hoarse voice."Are you sure?" Grace asked in a doubtful tone. "Then tell me. Where did you get the money from? Your parents didn't know you had debt, even after your relationship improved. You always pretended to be okay in front of them. You never accepted money from them.""Do you think I can't fight for my own life?" Sky said angrily. Tears welled up in her eyes."I can work hard! I can support my own daughter. Do you think all this time I've only been adventuring, spending my parents' money, and having fun?"Holding back the vibrations in her lips, Sky shook her head slowly. "I work, Miss Evans. I write books, become a translator and a tour guide. Even when Summer was still very little, I took her around because I ha

    "Have you forgotten who initiated our relationship?" Grace asked while raising an eyebrow. Her elegance had disappeared with those glaring eyes.Then, with her pointed index finger, she poked Louis' shoulder. "You, Louis. You were the one who wanted this relationship. You said we could be an ideal couple, the couple that people out there would envy. Now, after we've made it, you're going to give up?"Shifting her jaw, Grace shook her head slowly. "Don't expect me to back down from our marriage. Our relationship must be maintained. If not, where will I put my face? I can't lose to that cheap woman!""Ace, come on, "Louis sighed restlessly. "What do you mean by that? This isn't a competition.""Yes, this is a competition," Grace said firmly with burning eyes. "This is a competition to maintain my pride, Louis. If you didn't choose me, people might think she's better than I. I don't want it to happen. Besides, you're my fiancé. I never let anyone take what's mine."Everyone stared at Gra

    Louis smiled wryly at Sky. She looked cute when she looked down with her lips pursed like that.Respecting her decision, he sighed in resignation, "Okay. I won't touch you again until I break up with Grace. And I think I need to apologize for this afternoon. I shouldn't have kissed you like that. Did I scare you?"Sky's eyes immediately rounded. Her cheeks felt warm. Her lips trembled as she said her answer, "A little. You remind me of what happened that night."Sky's voice was soft, but Louis could clearly hear the vibrations in every word. It made his heart heavy again."By the way, you haven't answered my question, Sky," he muttered.Sky's eyebrows were raised. "What question?" She glanced at him in surprise."Was I rude that night? Did I ... force you? How could we do that? Wasn't it a red-headed girl who took me out of the bar?"In an instant, Sky's face flushed. Her pulse was racing. She was too embarrassed to bring it up, let alone discuss it."Sorry, Louis. Can we just not tal

    Sadness escaped her mouth. Her eyes were glassy. "I was not the woman you desired. I wasn't worthy of being with you. And because I wasn't after your wealth, I didn't need to appear in front of you again, especially with Summer—our daughter. So ...."Shrugging, Sky forced a smile. "I thought there was no point in contacting you again. I could understand that you hated me. I was presumptuous because I dreamed of being with you."The fragile smile on her face successfully hurt Louis' heart. As the pain spread, Louis couldn't hold it in anymore."Sky," he sighed hoarsely, "you shouldn't think that way. You are the woman I want the most to be my wife. Even now, it's still the same. I want to live with you, with Summer."Sky looked at Louis with doubt. "Are you sure? Then what about Grace? Why are you dating her? Isn't it because you want to marry her?"Louis froze. His breathing became heavier. "We're talking about us, Sky. Can we not talk about her now?""She is your girlfriend, Louis, a

    Raising an eyebrow, Louis shook his head firmly. "Don't even think about it! She's nothing more than a cheap girl. She can't even maintain her own dignity, let alone other things? I don't want a woman like that to be the mother of my child. Besides ...."Louis snorted in disdain. "Just look at her appearance. Is she attractive? And her hair, my goodness ...."Louis shook his head slower this time. His expression was disgusted. "I couldn't stand looking at her. Can't she change it like other girls? It's too distracting to the eye. And just so you know ...."Louis' finger sharpened again. "A woman like her has no qualities to be proud of. All she knows is to have fun in life. She has no fighting spirit or clear goals. In other words, she is the perfect definition of the woman I hate the most on earth.""Sorry, Sir," a reporter finally spoke up, though trembling. "What if she gets pregnant? Will you be responsible for her child?""I think ...." Louis' eyes narrowed. "That's probably her

    "I thought you would be happy with my arrival. I meant to offer myself to be your graduation companion," Sky admitted shyly."Wait," Louis raised his hand, asking for a pause. His eyes rounded, doubtful at the possibility that emerged in his mind. "You wanted to be my graduation companion? Why? Did you ... like me?"Sky pursed her lips. She was too embarrassed to admit it. "That was five years ago, Louis. I was still very young. I often acted without thinking. Because of that," she frowned, "yes, I planned to express my feelings to you that night."Now it was Louis' turn to freeze. His eyes trembled as he stared at the beautiful face that held various emotions."You liked me too?" he sighed in disbelief. "Then why didn't you give me your surprise? Did I do something that changed your mind? I scared you? I was too harsh on you?"Regret was clearly etched on Louis' face. Seeing that, Sky became even more confused."When I arrived at the hotel that night, I saw you with your friends. So,

    "Have you covered her with a blanket?" Sky asked casually after Louis closed the door. "She can't sleep well if there's nothing covering her body. I think she doesn't like her skin to be in direct contact with the air."Louis raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? No wonder she used a sleeping bag the first time she slept in my penthouse."Sky nodded awkwardly. She realized that it was her chance to convey her opinion about where they should talk. However, when she just caught her breath, Louis had already grabbed her hand."Now let's keep our promise," he pulled her to walk with him.Seeing his enthusiasm, Sky was flustered. "Louis, wait. I don't think your bedroom is the right place for us to talk. How about the library? There's no one there.""No. Emily can come there anytime. She usually reads a book when she can't sleep, and Cayden always accompanies her. I ever found him sleeping on the library couch, on Emily's lap."Sky winced. They were getting closer to the stairs. "How about the b

    Seeing how Louis held her hand, Sky was wide-eyed. Her mouth was agape in surprise.Was she a little kid who needed to be held so she wouldn't get lost? Or maybe Louis got carried away so that he considered her a little friend who he hadn't played with for a long time?"You know what? The best work that ever existed in this world is God's creation. Every living creature that He created has features ...."Sky was no longer listening to what Louis said. She was more focused on his expressions and gestures.How could Louis be so casual with her? Had he forgotten what happened between the two of them? He forgot what they both did in the afternoon in his sister's office?"Plants too! Just like animals, they also have structures that allow them to adapt ...." Louis didn't finish his sentence. He just realized that Sky's gaze was unfocused. "Sky, do you hear me?"The woman blinked. Now she realized that Louis was staring at her from a very close distance."Yeah?" She spontaneously took a ste

    Louis' eyebrows pressed together. "Which one? There are too many promises we've made.""Camping in the yard while looking at the stars!" Summer answered with a beaming face.Louis' mouth rounded. "Oh, that one. I don't think tonight is the right time, Summer. You've been playing around too much today. You need to rest and recharge. How about tomorrow night?""Sorry, Uncle. I have an appointment tomorrow. Aunt Emily and Uncle Cayden are planning to take me out. All day! They even asked for leave. How about the next night?"Louis nodded. "I always have time for you, Summer."The toddler chuckled. "Anyway, Grandpa and Uncle Cayden want to stargaze too. They said they wanted to buy a big telescope for me. But I said no, because it's really expensive. Instead of buying it, we'd better rent it. It's much cheaper. Besides, it won't be used very often. You don't mind if they join us, do you?"Louis smiled a little more widely. "I don't mind. It will be more fun, right?""Yes!" Summer nodded,
