Are you ready to end this story?
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
Sky's eyebrows shot up. "What's left to discuss? Haven't we talked about everything yesterday? I'll help you at the company while studying the situation. After adjusting and finding what I like, I'll focus on that."Louis shook his head slowly. "It's not about career, Sky, but about our relationship. You're my wife. What do you think a wife usually does on her wedding night?"Sky swallowed hard. Her lungs were suddenly filled with warm air. Her heart started to pound, sending pulses throughout her veins."W-we have to leave early tomorrow, Louis. Is it okay if we do it now?" Sky asked stiffly. She had tried to suppress her nervousness, but her nerves were still tense.Seeing her cute behavior, Louis smiled faintly. "Any problem, Sky? But you said you weren't afraid of me. You also said you didn't mind if we did that. Could it be ...."Louis' expression turned serious. His round eyes made Sky get more tense. "What?""Did you say that just to please me? Are you actually afraid of me?"Sk
"N-no. It didn't penetrate the glass. The window was open when I chased it away. After it came out, I quickly closed the window so it wouldn't come back in," Sky answered awkwardly.Meanwhile, Summer puffed out her cheeks. Putting her hands on her hips, she stamped her foot."That naughty bug! How dare it bite Mommy and leave a weird mark! If only I could catch it, I would put it in a bottle, then shake it until it felt dizzy and forgot how to fly. The bug should know that biting people is not nice."Hearing the sweet scolding, Louis grimaced. He was grateful that Sky managed to make up a clever excuse. Otherwise, how would he explain it to the toddler?"Then, what did Daddy do on top of Mommy?" Summer probed again.Louis' back straightened again. His eyes widened. "A-about that," Louis' eyes shook to find an excuse, "Your mom said the insect bite felt hot, so I helped her to blow on it.""That can be done while sitting. Why did Daddy lie to Mommy?"Louis' mouth gaped wider. His eyebro
Receiving such a gentle touch, Sky's forehead frowned. She held Louis' hand."Summer isn't asleep yet. Are you sure you want to continue now? She might think I'm groaning in pain again.""Let's do it silently," Louis smiled mischievously."Can I?" Sky frowned in hesitation."Let's try," Louis moved closer to Sky again. His hands started to get naughty. His lips went wild.At a certain point, Sky began to have difficulty holding back the turmoil in her chest. "Louis, wait. I think we had better postpone it until Summer is really asleep.""No, Sky. I can't hold it anymore."Louis' hand reached down. Sky finally failed to muffle her voice. That's when a knock came from the door."Mommy, is Daddy bothering you again?"Louis and Sky froze. Only their shoulders moved, rising and falling. Their lungs were still busy expelling hot air."See? Summer is still watching!" Sky whispered while patting Louis' arm.Instead of moving away from Sky, Louis stayed in place. He said, "No, Baby. Your mom ac
"I don't want to disappoint you, Louis, but the time isn't right. Just wait until tonight, hmm?" Sky forced a smile. But it turned out, the corners of her lips were too stiff to lift. The nerves in her body were too tense.Seeing her awkward expression, Louis narrowed his eyes. "What will you do tonight?" he asked in a teasing tone.Sky's breath hitched. Her eyes blinked to overcome nervousness. "I will give you ... what you want."Louis bit his lip. His hand slowly moved to Sky's stomach, then went down. "What do I want?"Sky gasped as Louis entered her warmth. Her breathing became faster, just like the rush of blood in her veins.Not wanting her common sense to wander, Sky closed her eyes for a moment. Then, with her hands clenched tightly, she asserted, "You know what I mean, Louis. Please don't play dumb. Therefore, you have to stop now. Don't you realize? We're in Summer's r
"Honey, listen to Mommy carefully. When a man and a woman get married, they become one.""Yes, I know that," Summer said. "I heard it from the priest yesterday. What God has joined together, let no man separate. Mommy and Daddy have become one flesh."Sky smiled faintly. She stroked her daughter's curly hair. "Do you know what that means?"Summer pursed her lips. "Mommy and Daddy are inseparable? You two must always be together wherever you go?""You're right," Sky nodded softly. "A married couple has become one heart, one mind, one goal, one joy and sorrow. They must care for each other, understand each other, love each other, respect each other, and be loyal to each other."Summer frowned, listening. "Okay, I understand that. What I don't understand is, why did you let Daddy touch your private parts, Mommy? Is that the way to become one flesh?"Sky froze again. She noticed how Summer put her palms together. Suddenly, the process of uniting herself with Louis flashed through her mind.
Summer gasped in horror. She looked at her plans on the paper. They could all fall apart if she got married early."But we're still young," she sighed. "And we don't know each other yet. How can we possibly get married?"River shrugged. "I'm confused too. But, my parents said that we're meant to be together. We'll definitely get married someday."Summer pouted. She didn't want to get married yet, and she wasn't ready to be a wife. With an annoyed expression, she got off the chair."Come with me! We have to straighten this out. This must be a misunderstanding," she said as she walked towards the door."Where are you going, Miss Harper?" Omega asked while holding back his laughter."To see Daddy. I want to ask for an explanation about River," Summer answered in an annoyed tone. "Is he in Mommy's room?"Omega nodded. "I think so."&nb
"Are you that sure of me?" Sky whispered in a testing tone."Yes!" Louis nodded. "And actually, I still doubt every time you say that you are not a businessman. You are the daughter of Edmund Hills, the owner of the largest travel company in the world. It is impossible that you do not inherit even a little bit of his talent."Sky snorted in amusement. "Papa is not here. It is useless for you to praise him. He will not increase your value in his eyes.""I didn't mean to compliment him. I was just being honest. Sometimes, when we're talking about my work, I feel like you're similar to your father. Just try it if you don't believe me. Make a project. I'm sure its success will rock the world."Sky laughed and elbowed Louis in the stomach. "Please don't exaggerate it, Louis. You sound like you're sweet-talking.""I told you, I was just being honest. My beautiful wife is indeed great," Louis said while pinching Sky's chin and pulling her closer.Hearing her parents' whispers, Summer finally
The first thing that caught Summer's attention was a one-meter-diameter globe in the middle of the room. With its size, Summer could stick lots of stickers and notes!The second was the two large computers on the desk. Summer could search and learn many things there. The very wide screen would definitely make her comfortable.Then, on one side of the room, there were shelves filled with various items. Summer didn't know the details of what was there. However, she was sure that the items would be useful for her activities.The last thing that amazed her was the whiteboard that covered the wall on the other side of the room. She could write anything there, and even draw. Colorful markers were available on a small shelf nearby.In addition, Summer could also stick paper with cute magnets on the board. In just a few seconds, she had lots of ideas about what to display there."This ro
Louis and Sky smiled secretly. They exchanged glances, sharing pride that felt so warm in their chests.While rubbing his wife's back, Louis finally spoke up, "I think our Q&A session has been long enough. Let's continue for another day. Now, allow me to introduce the company to my wonderful wife and daughter. Excuse us."Summer immediately waved her hand. "See you later, Mr. and Miss Reporters. In the next interview, I will report on how far I have gone. But remember! You are not allowed to make fun of me. What matters most is not how fast I am going, but how happy I am in the process. Okay?"Several reporters replied, "Thank you, Miss Harper! Enjoy the process! May your journey be smooth!"Summer chuckled at the encouragement. Then, holding Louis and Sky's hands, she entered the lobby. Her smile was bright, her steps light. She knew that great things awaited her."Was I cool Daddy?" Summer asked as she and her parents walked towards the elevator.Seeing her sweet smile, the corners o
Hearing such a serious question, Sky's smile shrank. She glanced at Louis, checking his reaction.It turned out that Louis was also glancing at her. Similar lines of worry were etched on his face. They both agreed that the question was too heavy for Summer."Honey," Sky touched her daughter's shoulder, whispering, "you don't have to answer—"Unfortunately, Summer had already spoken, "I think it's too soon for us to talk about that now."Everyone was surprised. No one expected that the toddler's answer would be so wise."I'm not the only child in the Harper family. Aunt Emily will give birth to three babies. Mommy and Daddy will also give me a sibling. Uncle Russell, Uncle Orion, and Aunt Briony aren't even married yet. If they already have partners, I believe they will have children. Therefore ...." Summer took a deep breath, preparing to continue her explanation.&n
When Louis arrived, the reporters immediately crowded around his limousine."Mr. Louis Harper, is it true that you are married?""Why did you keep your marriage a secret?""Can you explain your decision?"Louis smiled slightly at those questions. While the security team controlled the situation, he turned to his wife and daughter."Are you guys ready?" he asked in a whisper.Sky and Summer nodded in unison. They looked very similar with sunglasses like that. Only, Summer's eyebrows were furrowed, and her tiny lips were pursed."There are so many reporters outside, and they look barbaric. Is it safe for us to go out now?"Louis chuckled at his daughter's worries. "Calm down, Summer. They're not bad people. They just can't wait for information from us. Are you nervous?"Summer bit her lip. Her hands rose, pinching the air. "A little."Feeling amused, Sky stroked her hair. "Then, get off after Mommy and Daddy. Hold our hands tightly. If you can't answer the questions, scratch Daddy's hand
"See? Overthinking is not a good thing, Louis. What you were worried about did not come true. Summer has been excited again. She was only disappointed for a few seconds," Sky whispered to Louis when Summer was opening her presents.Louis glanced at Sky with a sweet smile. "I think I need to learn a lot from you about how to be a good parent.""You don't need to learn, Louis. You are already a good parent. But, if you want to be even better, I can give you a good tip," Sky nodded reassuringly.Louis' eyebrows shot up. "What is it?""Every time you want to give Summer advice, think from a child's perspective. What way would be acceptable to your little self? You just have to adjust it to Summer's character."Louis pondered for a moment. "Finally, I know why Summer is so close to you. Aside from the fact that you're her mother, she might think you're a fun and exciting person. You a
Sky felt sorry for Louis. She massaged his shoulder. "Summer won't be disappointed, Louis. You have given her a sweet surprise, and she liked it.""But she can't see Papoy. She must be disappointed."Sky shook her head firmly. "No, if we can give her the right response."Louis furrowed his eyebrows. "What response?""Mommy, Daddy!" Summer suddenly ran over to them. "Look what I found!"She showed what she had collected in her palm. "Seeds! I think Papoy is a naughty bird. He likes to take his food out of the nest and drop it anywhere!"Sky glanced at Louis. Her husband looked confused about how to respond."Are you sure that Papoy is a naughty bird, Honey?" Sky finally took control of the situation. "Papoy might have intentionally scattered the seeds. Can you imagine what would happen if they grew?"Summer's eyes widened. "They will grow into new plants, and produce more seeds. If that happens, Papoy can get food more easily. Wow, he turns out to be a smart bird!""You're right, Honey.
"Daddy, did you intentionally make this room similar to Mommy's room when she was little?" she murmured in a small, warm voice.Louis stepped forward to the toddler's side. "Yes. Do you like it?"Summer did not answer again. She observed the room more closely. Once her observation was done, her laughter sounded thin and full of emotions."This is the best room I've ever seen! I've always wondered what Mommy's childhood room was like. Every time Mommy told me about it, I could only imagine it with envy. It turns out that my room is that cool now!"Summer turned around, hugging Louis with love and sincerity. "Thank you so much, Daddy. Thank you for making such a cool room for me. I'll definitely be happy living here."Louis smiled in relief. "You're welcome, Baby. I'm happy if you're happy.""How did Daddy know that I would like this room?" Summer asked while l
