"Are you actually a cowboy shepherd or a sheriff?" Louis joked.

"I'm an all-round cowboy!" Summer nodded firmly. "I can herd cattle and also uphold justice. I'm a smart and wise little cowboy! That's why ...."

The toddler let the cuffs hang on Louis' left hand. Then, she put her hands on her hips, exclaiming loudly, "I only cuff one of your hands right now. You still have to control the horse. But, once we get back to the stable, I'm going to cuff both of your hands and take you to court. You have to be punished for the crimes you've committed, Uncle Louis!"

While Louis shook his head in resignation, Summer narrowed her eyes at her mother. "That's why, Mommy, be careful! Don't make any mistakes. You could end up like Uncle Louis."

Sky snorted slightly. "It's no use threatening me, Honey. I am a good person. I won't do anything bad."

"Don't be too confident, Mommy. I'll keep an eye on you. Oh, Mommy, Uncle Louis," Summer's attention was suddenly drawn to a large pool of water.

"Is that

Woohoo! Summer was smart, wasn't she?

    Sky couldn't believe that the key was missing. She checked Summer's pockets herself. Finding nothing, she sighed in disbelief, "You're not kidding, right, Honey? You didn't deliberately hide the key so that Mommy and Uncle Louis would stay close, did you?"Louis spontaneously glanced over. He didn't expect Sky to give such an honest opinion."No, Mommy. I have promised not to be a naughty child. I've also promised to take good care of Mr. Rodriguez's gift. Could the key have fallen out while we were riding the horses?"While Sky sighed in resignation, Louis answered casually. "That could've happened. You were so active back then. Maybe the key got pushed out while you were petting Dusty.""Then what should we do now? How can we go back with our hands like this?" Sky pointed at their hands with round eyes.Summer knew the meaning of that expression. Her mother was really panicking."Maybe, Mommy and Uncle Louis can ride side by side," the toddler said softly. Her head was slightly lower

    Summer blinked at Louis' back from her slightly lagging horse. She wondered what the man and Sky were talking about. She couldn't hear any sound."Hey, Straw," Summer whispered to her horse, "can you walk a little faster? I want to see what Uncle and Mommy are doing."Summer waited for a while. However, the horse she was riding was still walking slowly."Oh, what should I do to make the horse go faster?" Summer started to think."Should I move my legs like when I rode Dusty? He ran because I was kicking his stomach. If I press Straw's stomach a little, maybe he won't run, just walk faster. Should I try it?"After tapping her chin a few times, Summer finally dared herself. She moved her legs once. Unexpectedly, her method worked."Good, Straw. Let's catch up with Dusty!" she whispered, excitedly. Her head leaned forward. She couldn't wait to see her mother.At that moment, Louis' head moved closer to Sky's face. When Summer arrived at their side, Louis and Sky's lips were only an inch a

    Seeing the pouting little face, Louis changed his mind. "Then, is there any wire I can use? I think I can pry the keyhole and turn it.""No, Uncle. If the keyhole is broken, I won't be able to use the handcuffs anymore," Summer said softly."If your handcuffs are broken, Mommy can replace them with new ones, Honey," Sky stroked her hair, hoping that Summer would be willing to free her from Louis.However, the little girl kept shaking her head. "Those are special gifts for me, Mommy. They can't be replaced with others. Even if Mommy buys the same model, it's still different.""Do you have the heart to see Mommy and Uncle Louis restrained like this?" Sky showed the handcuff on her wrist with a pitiful face.Summer pouted. "Please be patient, Mommy. It won't be long. Only until the evening. We can wait here while doing other things.""What other things do you mean, Little Human?" Louis asked, full of anticipation."Mr. Rodriguez said that he provides lodging for visitors who want to rest

    "Why are you acting like an innocent girl? You already have a child, Sky," Louis said after he zipped up his pants again.Sky stopped singing. She didn't dare to open her eyes even though Louis had pressed the flush button."So what if I already have a child? That doesn't mean I'm used to men," she grumbled in annoyance.Louis smiled wryly. "Okay. Then do it quickly."Sky's eyes widened instantly. "Do what?" she asked in a choked voice."What else?" Louis glanced down.Thinking Louis was asking her to do something indecent, Sky's legs closed together. Her face turned into a boiled crab."Louis, are you crazy? You have a girlfriend, and we are only friends. But you dare to ask me to do it?" Sky sighed in disbelief.Receiving such a scolding, Louis' eyebrows arched high. A second later, he burst out laughing. With his free hand, he flicked Sky's forehead."You said you're not used to men, but why are your thoughts so dirty? What did I tell you to do?"Sky blinked. Her brows furrowed in c

    "Are you forbidding me to be serious?" Louis asked with a lowered eyebrow."No, it's not like that," Sky shook her head. "I just don't like it every time you emphasize your voice. It can make people afraid. I think they don't like that bad side of you either. You'd better show your sweet and gentle side."Suddenly, Summer approached them with her hands on her hips. "Uncle, Mommy, did you forget about me? I had been waiting for you guys inside, but you guys still didn't come. Stop fighting and let's do our agenda!"Louis snorted in amusement. He looked at Sky again. "Sky, instead of advising me, you'd better take care of your daughter. It'll be a shame if she inherits your fierce, pushy, and bossy nature. You know what? People don't like that bad side of you either," he quipped with a sly smile.Sky gaped in disbelief. She put her hands on her hips. "You're talking back to me? You know what? I did not force you or be bossy. I just gave you advice. It's not good to intimidate people lik

    Curious, Summer peeked out the window. Finding many people outside, she gasped. "Uncle Louis, it's bad! We're surrounded by parapazzi!""Paparazzi?" Louis straightened up his back, his eyes squinting to check outside the window.Two seconds later, he sighed in disbelief, "Summer, they're not paparazzi. They're reporters! Hurry up, wake up your mother! We have to escape before they come storming in!"Soon afterwards, the reporters had gathered in front of the cottage's door. They were all impatient to interrogate Louis."Mr. Harper," the bravest reporter knocked on the door, "can we interview you for a moment?""Is it true that you are cheating on Miss Evans? Are you with your mistress inside?" a careless, newbie reporter continued.The others glanced at him cynically. He realized that."What? Isn't that what we came here for? We want a clarification about that," he said, indifferently.Then, he knocked on the door. "Mr. Harper, if you really weren't having an affair, you wouldn't have

    Sky let out a heavy sigh. After thanking Mr. Rodriguez, she sat down next to Louis. Not long after, Louis stepped on the gas. The car sped off, and the reporters groaned in disappointment. No one thought of following him by car because they knew how fast Louis was driving on the road.Summer, who was looking through the rear window, chuckled. She waved triumphantly. "Bye, bye, Mr. and Mrs. Reporters! See you at another time!""Summer, put on your seatbelt," Sky said as she freed the handcuffs from her wrist."Okay, Mommy!"Even though her body was too small for the seat she was sitting on, Summer still put on her seatbelt. Then, blinking, she watched the sun set.Soon afterwards, the atmosphere became quiet. The three of them were busy with their own thoughts.Louis was focused on guessing who sent the reporters to the ranch. Sky was busy thinking about Louis' reputation and their fate. Meanwhile, Summer began to regret that her plan had to be canceled again. They would not be camping

    As Sky massaged her temple, Edmund lowered his voice, "Wake up, Sky. Louis doesn't deserve your love and attention! I will never let him get close to Summer and you!""Papa," Sky said weakly, "we've discussed this before. Please don't repeat it. I don't want to argue with you.""There's nothing to argue about, Sky. You did make a fatal mistake. It's only right that you take responsibility and fix the situation. Therefore, before the whole world insults you, take Summer home! You can't possibly risk her future, right? I don't want my granddaughter to be called a mistress' daughter," Edmund said firmly.Sky closed her eyes. Her head was throbbing from the pressure from her father."What did you hear, Papa? Please explain it slowly so I understand," she said in a low voice."Haven't you seen the news? Your intimate photos have shocked the public. Many people are cursing you. They call you by inappropriate words. Therefore," Edmund tried to pump patience into his lungs."Before things get

    "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.
