Sky sighed tiredly. "He's the same age as you."

Louis widened his eyes. "The same age as me? Do I know him?"

"Can you stop asking?" Sky frowned. She started to feel uncomfortable.

"So I know him? Otherwise, you wouldn't react like this. Is he my friend? If you don't want to tell me his name, just tell me his hometown," Louis insisted, making Sky rub her temples.

Not wanting to answer, Sky quickly finished her soup. She got up from her chair. "My dinner is finished. Thank you for this delicious meal. Now I want to rest. Good night, Mister Nosy."

"Wait a minute, Sky. Our conversation isn't over yet. You haven't answered the last question. Where is he from?"

Sky kept walking while waving her hand. "Good night, Louis."

When her back disappeared, Louis' expression turned serious. He took his phone out of his pocket, calling his cousin.

"Orion, can you help me? Please investigate what happened to Sky five years ago. Why did she miss my graduation, where she was, and w

    "You know what?" Louis finally spoke up. "I can still keep my promise. We can brush our teeth and wash our faces together this morning. Then, I can also take you to the airport. We can read a book and talk on the way there." "That's cheating, Uncle Louis. That's not what we planned," Summer shook her head. "It's not. That's called improvisation." "I don't need improvisation. I want you to fulfill all your promises exactly as we planned. If not, I don't want to go home!" Summer folded her arms in front of her chest. Her cheeks puffed out, her chin twitched as she held back her sadness. However, tears kept rolling down her face. "Honey, please don't be like this. Mommy has come all the way here to pick you up. If you don't want to go home with me, can you imagine how I feel? You make me sad." Suddenly, Summer put her hands on her hips and stamped her foot. "I don't care. I only want to go home if Uncle Louis has kept his promise. I won't go home if I'm only with Mommy!"

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   32. It Wasn't My Sin

    Sky shook her head with a bitter smile. "Making Summer happy is not your job. The fact that you're willing to take care of her is more than enough. I'm so grateful. I actually feel guilty because she caused so much trouble that bothered you." "You know what? I did feel annoyed at first. She's very active and noisy. But now that I think about it, I think we're even. It's not just me who's annoyed. Summer's too. I've let her down several times." "Because of her impossible demands for you to fulfill?" Sky forced a laugh, but it failed to cover her sadness. "Yeah," Louis twitched his eyebrows. "He asked me to marry you. Don't you think it's impossible? We're just old friends who haven't contacted each other for years." Louis frowned at the end. There seemed to be hesitation in his sentence. However, he knew very well that he had another heart to guard now. He needed to clarify the boundaries of his relationship with Sky. Meanwhile, Sky almost choked with pain. Her eyes blinked un

    Sky hid her face with the ice pack again. "No, Louis. You don't have to go that far. Summer and I have troubled you so much. If you really want to help, just open the door. I think Summer has calmed down now. She and I can talk without raising our voices." Louis took a deep breath. Taking out his phone, he muttered, "You never change, hmm? Why is it so hard for you to accept someone else's help?" "Isn't Emily the same?" Sky shrugged. "You're much worse," Louis said without hesitation. Then, with a click on his phone, the guest room door was unlocked. "Thank you, Louis. I'll go see Summer," Sky put down the ice pack, and got up from the sofa. She didn't want to sit by Louis' side for long. Her secret could be threatened, and the wound in her heart could be torn wider. Louis just nodded. He also didn't want to discuss anything else. For him, everything was clear. Sky was still haunted by Summer's father, while he had anchored himself to Grace. The conclusion was valid a

    Summer changed position to lie on her side like Sky. Her hands were tucked under her chin."After two days with Uncle Louis, I realized. It would be so much fun if I had a daddy. I could play with him, chat, and have fun. I would be like other children," she revealed what had been buried in her heart.Hearing that confession, Sky's heart ached. The tightness that she had been afraid of finally appeared."Honey, why did you say that? Even though you don't have a daddy, you have a mommy. You also have grandparents who love you very much. You are just like other children," Sky explained in a thin voice. Her hand rubbed Summer's little shoulder."No, Mommy. I'm different. When I was at the amusement park with Uncle Louis, I saw it."Suddenly, Summer's gaze drifted away. Her blinking slowed down."Other children and their parents wore similar clothes, but I didn't. I actually bought couple's clothes for Uncle Louis and me, but he didn't want to wear them. We could only take pictures in the

    "Summer, you didn't listen either. You kept forcing Louis to accompany you, even though he was busy. You shouldn't bother him like that. That's why you have to go home with me now," Sky said firmly, even though her eyes were teary. Her breath was short, having difficulty suppressing the emotions raging in her chest."No, Mommy. If you want to go home, do it by yourself. I'll only go home if Uncle Louis takes me," Summer put her hands on her hips. Her shoulders also rose and fell to match the rhythm of her lungs.Seeing Summer's determination, Sky didn't know what else to do. She grabbed her wrist, her eyes narrowed."Summer Hills, I don't want to hear any more excuses from you. Like it or not, you have to go home with me. You've caused enough trouble here."Before her mother could drag her away, Summer began to struggle. "This isn't fair, Mommy. I want to be like other kids. I want a daddy too! Please don't separate me from Uncle Louis.""Summer, please! Don't be a naughty kid!" Sky wa

    "How long are you going to stay here, Summer?" Sky asked, awkwardly. "Louis has more important things to do. There's no way he'll take care of you all day long."The toddler pouted again. "Mommy, I'm an independent child. I can take care of myself. If you don't believe me, just ask Uncle Louis. Since I arrived here, I've done everything by myself. Washing my face, brushing my teeth, changing clothes. I even prepared my own dinner when I first got here."A second later, Summer straightened her neck. After taking a deep breath, she continued, "Uncle Louis doesn't need to bother taking care of me. He just needs to let me accompany him to work. After his work is done, we can go out to play. That'll be fun."Sky sighed tiredly. She felt that Summer wouldn't listen to her. The only way was to ask for Louis' help. Maybe only he could conquer the toddler."Louis, do you mind if Summer keeps sticking to you?" Sky whispered while playing with her eyebrows. She hoped Louis would understand the co

    "Thank you, Uncle Louis. You are so wise! I promise I won't be naughty. I will be a good child as long as we are together!" Summer said lightly."Not only when we are together, Little Human, but forever. Keep being a good child, so your mother doesn't get a headache."Summer chuckled. "Okay, I'll try, but I can't promise. Mommy is sometimes annoying."Beside them, Sky was stunned with her mouth slightly open. A sigh of disbelief escaped her. Not because of Summer's teasing, but because of Louis' decision."Louis," she moved closer to him, "you don't have to grant her wishes. Don't be influenced by her whining. It's just a trick. You don't have to sacrifice your time and energy for her."Summer immediately glanced at Sky with a cynical look. She didn't expect her mother to reveal her charade."Mommy, do you want me to cry again?" she threatened, too sweetly. She didn't look scary at all.Before they could fight again, Louis quickly said, "It's okay, Sky. I don't mind. Just think of it a

    Sky and Summer stopped talking. They turned to the man beside them."Louis, Summer is still too short. Do you want to stack books on the seat so she can see the road? Then how will she step on the pedals? Do you want to equip her with a broomstick or mop?"Louis laughed at Sky's words. "No, Summer won't practice using a regular car. We can buy a mini jeep.""A mini jeep?" Summer's eyes were round like a doll's. "Isn't that very expensive, Uncle Louis? I don't think I have enough savings to buy one," she sounded worried."You don't have to pay for it, Little Human. It will be a gift from me," Louis said sincerely."Really?" Summer's voice peaked. Both of her hands clenched happily. "You will buy it for me?""Louis, you don't have to do that. You have sacrificed your time and energy for Summer, not money either," Sky whispered, embarrassed."Mommy, other people's kindness should be appreciated. Uncle Louis might be offended if we refused his gift. So, let's just accept it!"While Sky was

    "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

    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.
