Hearing her mother's name, Summer blinked. With Kara's help, she sat up.

"Oh, my arms must have been injured again," she muttered while checking her left elbow.

As it turned out, her guess was right. Her skin was already red.

"Oh my .... Your elbow is bruised. Please forgive my husband, Sweetheart. We were in a hurry. He must not have seen you. Usually, there are no children running around here," Kara said softly. Her hand was stroking the little girl's hair.

With attention fixed on her wound, Summer murmured, "It's okay, Ma'am. I am the one who wasn't careful enough. I ran because I thought there was a fire. The alarm sounded really loud. I had to find Mommy and get out to a safe zone."

Kara felt even more guilty hearing the innocent confession. "That wasn't a fire alarm, Sweetheart. It was a warning about a press raid, and everyone needs to be alert."

Summer's eyes immediately rounded. "That wasn't a fire?"

She finally looked at the beautiful woman. That's when another surprise came.

    Sky listened to her daughter intently. Once Summer finished, she winced."Please forgive my negligence and Summer's carelessness, Sir. I didn't think she could run in a place like this. She had promised to be careful.""It was because of the alarm, Mommy. It wasn't entirely my fault. I ran to save myself," Summer whispered while nudging her mother's leg."Still, Honey. You wouldn't have bumped into Mr. Harper if you had been more careful. You should have looked ahead when you were running.""That's because I have to be alert. I thought it was a fire alarm. Of course I have to get away from the fire," she grumbled with pursed lips.Watching the mother and daughter argue, Kara smiled. "Sky, I'm so happy to meet you again. Especially, since you brought your cute daughter. Do you want to go upstairs? We can talk more freely up there.""What's up there?" Summer asked while standing on her tiptoes. "Is it a meeting room? Aunt Emily once told me that people gathered in that room to talk about

    "Y-yes. Emily once told me," Sky answered stiffly.Suddenly, Frank smiled bitterly. "I had no idea that Kara had given birth to my children at that time. A misunderstanding made her keep it a secret from me."Sky swallowed. She could guess what Frank would say next."Does Summer's father know that you gave birth to her?" Frank lowered his tone again.Sky's tongue felt stiff. She wanted to just lie, avoid further interrogation. However, she couldn't."No.""Why?" Frank snapped, making Sky's chest feel tighter."I think," Sky started to squeeze her own hands on her lap, "it would be useless if he knew. He has explained that he can't be with me from the start. There are too many differences between us.""Do you intend to keep it a secret for the rest of your life?"Sky blinked innocently. "Yes. He is happy with the woman of his choice now. I can't possibly disturb them."Frank took a deep breath. The look in his eyes implied pity and sadness."Do you know my biggest regret in my life?" H

    Emily and Cayden were wide-eyed at Frank's gesture. Wasting no time, they approached him."What's wrong, Dad? Why did you whisper like that? Is our office being tapped?" Emily whispered along while getting into the room.Frank closed the door tightly. "Did you know? Sky and Summer are waiting in your office."In an instant, Emily's confusion disappeared. Her eyes sparkled brightly. "Really? Then, I have to see them soon."Emily was about to turn around, but her father held her arm."Wait a minute. There's something we need to discuss before you go see them," Frank said seriously.Meanwhile, Kara waved at her from the sofa. "Come here, Honey. Have a seat."Emily frowned in confusion. She sat next to her mother, asking softly, "What's going on? Why are your expressions strange?"Frank and Kara exchanged glances. They seemed to be discussing in silence about who would speak. After a few seconds, Frank cleared his throat."Princess, what do you know about Summer?"Emily froze. Her blinkin

    Cayden smiled wryly. "I also suspected it when I first saw Summer. She looked like little Louis."Kara sighed deeply. She was relieved because Louis' problem would not affect Emily and Cayden's harmony."So now, what's our strategy? We can't just keep quiet, letting Louis deal with his problems alone," Kara looked at everyone. There was no joking face around her."Should we give Louis and Sky a chance to talk? Let's create a situation where they can start to break the awkwardness. Maybe Sky can open up to him. Louis doesn't need to know the truth from our mouths," Emily suggested, making everyone listen.Suddenly, Frank snapped his fingers. "Emily is right. It's better if Louis hears Sky's confession himself."Soon afterward, the five of them made a strategy. Their plan was very systematic and detailed. After that, Emily went to her office, accompanied by Cayden.Meanwhile, in Emily's office, Summer muttered while lying on the sofa, "Mommy, why is Aunt Emily not here yet? Does a pregna

    Sky nodded. Summer's happy cheers immediately warmed the air."Yay! Thank you, Mommy. Auntie, please wait a minute. Your ice cream will be here soon."Emily smiled at Summer. As soon as Cayden and the toddler left, Sky glanced at her suspiciously."Did you tell your husband to take my daughter away on purpose?"Emily gasped. "Why do you think that? When did I tell him to?""Do you think I didn't see you? You blinked three times at him.""That's because my eyes were itchy," Emily rubbed her eyes.Crossing her arms, Sky shook her head firmly. "No, you definitely did it on purpose. So tell me, what did you want to talk about in private?"Emily snorted in amusement. "Nothing. I just wanted Cayden to comfort Summer. But since you asked," she leaned forward despite her bulging stomach, "how do you feel?"Sky smiled wryly. "I'm fine, Em.""Are you sure? Your eyebags are so thick. You couldn't sleep last night, could you? Were you thinking about Louis?""No. Why would I think about him?" Sky

    "It's not about lacking or not, Em. It's about compatibility. Louis and Grace are a perfect couple. As for me, it's not that I'm ugly or stupid or whatever. I'm just not compatible with Louis," Sky said with a grimace.Suddenly, Emily pointed her finger, her eyebrows knitted together. "I don't know what's wrong with your brain, but in my eyes, Louis is much more compatible with you.""No, no. Please stop it, Em," Sky pleaded. She was really annoyed now."You're the one who should stop closing your eyes. You and Louis are meant to be together, Sky," Emily emphasized.Shaking her head quickly, Sky covered her ears with her hands. "Please stop, Emily. I don't want to hear anything else about Louis. He's nothing to me. I don't want to know!"At that moment, the door was opened. Louis stepped in with a disheveled look. He couldn't wait to ask Emily many questions.However, seeing who was sitting there and hearing what she had just said, he was stunned. His body froze, his eyes blinking in d

    Sky felt her eyes burning. She quickly looked away. Louis shouldn't see her tears."You already have a fiancee, Louis. You'll get married soon. Just mind your own business. You don't need to know who Summer's father is. It has nothing to do with you."Louis snorted. He didn't like Sky pushing him away."Okay. If you don't want to tell me, I'll find the answer myself."Sky's eyebrows furrowed. She didn't understand what Louis meant. Before she could ask, suddenly, Louis pinched her chin. A second later, his head moved forward, and his lips met hers.In an instant, a huge explosion shook Sky's chest. She could no longer think or breathe. Her body stiffened, her eyes shaking violently. Her mind was pulled back to five years ago.Meanwhile, Louis closed his eyes and buried his lips deeper. He tried to find the lost memory, but failed. However, he felt familiar with a strange feeling that shook his heart, and also the rush of his blood that tickled his entire body."This feeling ...." Louis

    "Honey, we just ate ice cream last night, remember? You shouldn't consume too much sugar. You'd better stop eating it right now," Sky tried her best to control her tone. Unfortunately, she failed to control her expression. Everybody knew that she was feeling bad, including her daughter."Oh, okay," Summer put the spoon into the cup. Her eyebrows furrowed reluctantly. "But Mommy, there's still some ice cream left here. It would be a shame to throw it away. Can I save it for later?""Yes, you can save it for later. Now, let's clean your mouth and say goodbye."The little girl tilted her head and blinked. "Goodbye? Where are you taking me?"Realizing that Sky intended to leave Louis, Emily quickly stood up. "Sky, you guys just got here. Why are you in such a hurry? Come stay at our house for a few nights. I've promised to take Summer out for a walk.""Yes, you can stay at our house for a few nights," Kara added, hopefully. "I promised Summer I'd make her some delicious sandwiches."And a

    "Why do you keep saying that I'm your father? Louis is the one you should be suing, not me! I'm not your father!" Kendrick said firmly, sounding a little desperate. He didn't realize that the toddler's lips were twitching slightly. Summer was actually struggling to hold back her laughter. Kendrick's reactions were funny to her. She enjoyed teasing him. "Okay, I won't force you to confess anymore. Don't whine, Sir. Now, you'd better explain why you kidnapped me. Otherwise, how am I supposed to understand?" Summer pinched his neck with her shoulders. She looked adorable in that pose. Kendrick sharpened his index finger. "Listen carefully. I won't say it again." "Okay," Summer pushed aside the hair covering her ears with the back of her hand. Then, she sat down nicely. "Your father has destroyed my career and reputation. Therefore, I want to avenge his crimes by throwing you off the cliff." Summer's eyes immediatel

    "Sir, didn't you know? A child's eye color can be different from their parents' eye color," Summer replied while nodding cutely.Kendrick froze again. "Where did that myth come from?""That's not a myth, but a fact! There are many cases where a child's eye color is a combination of the eye colors of both parents. Green and blue can produce gray. All three lack pigment.""But I'm not your father! Why do you keep insisting on your ridiculous idea?" Kendrick was getting more and more annoyed."Why don't you admit it?" Summer replied, not wanting to lose. "Are you afraid that I'll sue you?"Kendrick's brows furrowed deeper. "You want to sue me? On what basis?"Summer pursed her lips. Her eyelids drooped slightly. "If you're really my father, that means you have to give Mommy a lot of money.""What money?" Kendrick's voice suddenly became shri

    Summer sighed tiredly. Her shoulders dropped, her lips pursed. "I'm not making excuses. What I said is true. Just try walking with your eyes closed and your hands tied. You'll definitely be slow. Let alone me!"The toddler pressed her chest with her tied hands. "I'm only four years old. I'm still small. My steps are also small. If you're tall, your legs are almost three times longer than mine. If you're short, maybe only twice as long. But no matter how short you are, your steps are definitely bigger. I have to take three steps to match one step of yours.""Shut up!"Summer flinched again. Grimacing, she scratched her ears with the back of her hands."Sir, can't you speak more softly? It's already night. Time to sleep. It's rude if you keep making noise. It can disturb others living around here. Oh, by the way, is Mommy awake? How long will the drug last?"While the guy behind he

    Seeing her mother's panic, Summer stopped peeking from behind the wall. She revealed herself, asking, "Mommy, what's wrong?"While shifting the couch to block the door, Sky shouted, "The bad guys are coming, Honey. Get in your room and lock the door. Call the emergency number!"Suddenly, a thud was heard. The door vibrated, pushed by something big. Worried that the lock would be broken, Sky held it with all her might. "Honey, hurry up!"Summer blinked in confusion. Instead of obeying, she climbed onto the couch and helped her mother to hold the door with her tiny hands. "What about Mommy?""Mommy will be fine. Call for help now!"Suddenly, a thud came from the window. Someone was apparently pounding the shatterproof glass with a gun.Knowing that time was running out, Sky shouted again, "Honey!"Summer finally ran away. She went into her

    "You created the abyss yourself, Kendrick!" Louis replied firmly. "Don't blame me for what has happened to you. Once again you disturb me and my family, I will make you stay at the bottom of the abyss forever."Kendrick laughed evilly. "You're still arrogant, apparently. Alright. I accept your challenge. Let's see who reaches the bottom first. Me or that little girl?"Louis' eyes immediately widened. Red lines began to circle his pupils."This is our business. Why did you involve another person? She's innocent! She has nothing to do with this matter!"Hearing Louis' anger, Kendrick's laughter grew louder. "Isn't she the root of our problems? If she hadn't ruined your proposal, the truth wouldn't have been revealed. We're still friends and I would still live in peace.""We were never friends! I never have a friend as cruel as you!""Yes, you're right. I am ind

    Omega came out of his tent. "There's nothing here.""What about the stuff?" Louis inquired with a serious expression."It's safe. I didn't bring any important stuff here. It's all in the car."Alice, who had just finished checking her tent, reported the same thing. "I don't think it was a robbery. Nothing was missing."Edmund's brows were furrowed even more. "Then what was he after? Did he leave any clues?" He entered the tent, checking among Summer's belongings.From the tent door, Louis' eyes fell on a small piece of paper that had been crumpled into a ball. He picked it up. Turned out, it was an ATM receipt for a withdrawal balance. The final amount was quite large."It seems like someone got paid for this task," he concluded with a serious expression.Alice gasped and covered her mouth. "You mean someone wants to hurt Summer? For what

    Edmund's face turned sullen again. He wondered why his granddaughter had fallen for Louis so easily. In fact, he thought Freddy was more charming.As a result, he didn't talk much for the rest of the night. Even when they returned to the camping area, he just took Alice into the tent. He was disappointed because, up until that moment, Freddy still hadn't managed to attract Summer's attention."What else should I do? How can I make Sky and Summer like Freddy more?" he thought as he stretched out his sleeping bag.While Edmund was seriously contemplating, suddenly, Summer's scream was heard. As fast as lightning, he and Alice crawled out.Sky immediately let go of the chair she was setting up. She ran to Summer's tent too, followed by Louis and Freddy."Honey, what's wrong?" Sky asked spontaneously from the tent door.It turned out that Summer had been standing

    "In two months, it will be autumn here. The air is too cold for Summer and Sky to wear beautiful dresses. They'll freeze. Besides, they prefer to be warm," Freddy stated.Louis' face turned stiff. "Do you think I will let them get cold? I can build a building with glass walls and a roof with a heating system. They can still dance in cool clothes while watching the aurora with me."Hearing the argument, Summer frowned. "I don't think you need to do that, Uncle Louis. That building must be very expensive. You'd be better off saving the money for something more useful. Besides ...."Summer moved to Sky's lap. "Mommy and I don't mind dancing outside. We can wear coats over our pretty dresses. We'll stay warm and still look stunning. Isn't that right, Mommy?"Sky smiled a little. She was proud of her daughter. "That's right, Honey. You're beautiful no matter what you wear.""Mommy too

    Louis spontaneously laughed. He was amused to see how expressive his daughter was. However, realizing Edmund's cynical glance, he closed his mouth again and listened."After many efforts, Mommy decided to use a rope. I was in charge of holding it from above while Mommy tied the other end to the baby elephant's body. It was an important task because the rope must not fall. If it got wet, it would become slippery. It would be difficult for Mommy and I to pull it.""Your mom wasn't strong enough to push the baby elephant out of the hole. Wouldn't it be harder if you guys pulled it from above?" Freddy's voice suddenly caught all their attention. It was Louis' turn to have a sour expression."We weren't strong enough at first. I had used all my strength, though. The veins in my hands were sticking out."The toddler looked down, pointing to where the veins she meant. After a brief silence, she raised her h
