Hi, guys! Thanks for reading. Have a nice day!
"Summer, what's going on? Are you okay?" Louis asked with a worried expression.Summer turned around. Seeing Louis and the others, she gasped. "Did I make a scene? Sorry, Uncle Louis. I was just trying to stop the misunderstanding between Grace and Uncle Fred."Louis held the toddler. "What misunderstanding?"Summer pointed at Grace. "I was interrogating Grace earlier. I asked her the reason she came here. I said she could join our event if she had good intentions. Then ...."She pointed her finger down. "Grace took it out of her bag. She said it was a gift. I think she wanted to apologize. But apparently Uncle Fred misunderstood. He thought Grace wanted to hurt me, so he attacked her. He bent Grace's arm like this until Grace winced in pain."The toddler twisted her arm back, simulating Grace's position earlier.Meanwhile, Emily was wide-eyed. "Grace wants to apologize?" she muttered in amazement.Grace pressed her lips with her chin. She actually didn't want to admit it. There were
Seeing how tense Louis was, Emily whispered, "Hey, since when did you become a coward? Come on, Louis. Welcome your bride bravely. This moment will always be remembered by Sky. You will regret it for the rest of your life if you fail to look cool.""What do you mean, Emily? I'm Louis Harper. Whatever I wear, I always look cool. I was born to be a model, and I'm not a coward," he grumbled with a stiff expression.Emily smiled. "Then, stop frowning. You look ugly if you have wrinkles. And stop blowing the air. It makes you look nervous. Also, straighten your back. You look weak if your shoulders are down like that.""Can you stop bothering me? All I need is some peace and calm. My heartbeat is too fast," Louis finally admitted.Emily could no longer hide her amusement. She turned her brother's shoulders to face her. While laughing softly, she observed his appearance from head to toe."You're already perfect, Louis. What are you afraid of? Sky must be amazed by you. You don't have to be n
Knowing Edmund's feelings, Alice rubbed his chest. "Control yourself, Ed. This is Sky's happy moment. Don't make her cry. Her makeup will ruin.""Yeah! Don't make Mommy sad, Grandpa," Summer said while rubbing Edmund's cheek. "Even though Mommy is married to Uncle Louis, she will still be your daughter.""Papa," Sky held Edmund's hand. "No matter what, I am always your daughter, and you are always the best father in the world. My love for you will never fade. It will only grow thicker. Moreover, we will meet less often later. I will definitely miss you."Edmund snorted softly. He tried to suppress his emotions. Unfortunately, his heart was too chaotic. Before his tears fell, he pulled Sky into his embrace."Thank you, Honey," he whispered."Why thank me, Papa? It's only natural for a daughter to love her parents," Sky patted her father's back.Feeling the incredible warmth, Summer, who was between Sky and Edmund, laughed. She put her arms around their necks. A second later, Sky and Edm
Sky laughed at Louis' expression that she considered funny. "Are you crying? Your eyes are red," she pointed to her own eyes, which were also teary.Sky thought Louis would deny it. But, as it turned out, the man nodded his head."Yes. I have made a big mistake once. There shouldn't be a second mistake or regret," he answered hoarsely.Sky's heart warmed hearing his sincere promise. She glanced to the left and right. Her parents nodded slightly at her, a sign that they were ready to let her go."Please treat our daughter as best as you can, Louis," Alice said softly. Her fingers trembled as she stroked her own daughter's arm."And remember your promise to me," Edmund pointed his finger. His eyes were full of warnings, although sad.Louis instead got a nostalgic impression from Edmund. A faint laugh escaped his lips."Is it my promise at the forest house? Yes, of course. I will take good care of Sky and not make her cry. I will not tease her, and instead, treat her well. I will also alw
Receiving such sweetness, a tear fell from Louis' eye. Without wiping it away, he lifted Summer into his arms."Summer, my great daughter," he hugged her lovingly.Summer happily leaned her head on Louis' shoulder. Her eyes were closed, her legs swinging happily. Her tiny fingers patted Louis' broad back. She was happy that her mission had paid off even though it was bitter at first.Then, while chuckling, she stretched out her hand. "Mommy, don't just watch. Hug me too! I like being hugged."Sky rubbed her nose and went closer. "Okay, Honey. I will hug you too, like this. Is it enough?"Summer squealed happily. "Oh, I'm squeezed. But it doesn't matter. Hug me tighter, Mommy, Daddy. This is so warm and exciting!"Watching the little family's happiness, everyone widened their smiles. Their hearts also felt warm. Some tears even dripped, making their possessors lean on their respective partners."Look, Frank. Louis is really grown up. He has a wife and daughter now, and he's so happy. It
Grace froze in silence. When her contemplation was over, she patted Sky's back twice and regained the distance. She was still awkward."You don't need to thank me. Thank your daughter. She's the one who ruined my proposal and put us all on the right track."Summer pursed her lips. "Are you making fun of me or complimenting me, Miss Evans?""Both. Don't you like it?""I like it! Since we're besties now, I won't be easily offended. I know behind your curt words, you love me. You must also secretly think that I am cute. Moreover, I am wearing this pretty dress today. I look like a vanilla ice cream with colorful sprinkles, right?"Grace took a deep breath. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Even if I deny it, you won't believe me, will you?""Yeah! I know you're too proud to admit it."While Summer laughed triumphantly, Louis took a deeper breath. After getting a nod from Sky, he said, "I think I also need to apologize to you, Grace. If only I hadn't given you that ridiculous idea, you wouldn't have
Summer was lying on her stomach on the bed. Her chin was propped up with both hands, and her legs were moving like a swimmer. No matter how long she stared at the wedding photo in front of her, her smile remained sweet."This is so beautiful! It's the best photo I've ever had," she murmured for the umpteenth time.Hearing that, a couple wearing the same pajamas as Summer walked in. The curve of their lips was also sweet."What are you doing, Honey?"Summer stopped staring at the picture. She rolled over, raising her hand high."Mommy, Daddy! Are you done with your adult business?" she asked cheerfully.Louis and Sky's faces immediately turned tense. Awkwardness colored their cheeks."What adult business, Honey? We're just setting up the schedules for one week ahead," Sky answered awkwardly."But I wasn't involved. It's just the two of you who arranged it. Without any children, that's an adult business," Summer shrugged casually.Before her nerves became even stiffer, Sky climbed onto t
Louis and Sky nodded in unison."You can study with your friends at school. It's going to be so much fun. You can also play and talk about many things with them during break time," Louis explained, giving an illustration."And you know what?" Sky whispered, hoping to grab her daughter's interest. "There are many facilities for studying and developing yourself at school. You can read books in the library, do experiments in the laboratory, exercise in the field, and there's even an art room! You can try many new things with new friends."However, Summer blinked as if she wasn't interested. "Do I have to go to school?"Louis' hopes faded a little. He fell silent for a moment. "Not really. I just want to give you a choice, Baby. Maybe you also want to go to school like most children. School can be a tool for you to make your dreams come true. You want to be a best-selling author, right?""Can I study independently like Mommy? I can read books or search for information on the internet. I ca
"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'
