Summer felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her eyes started to redden as well.Mason was stunned, not knowing what he did wrong at all. He started to panic. "What's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have? Don't cry.""Idiot," Summer scolded as she looked at him.Mason was utterly confused. He lightly patted her on the head and asked, "Why are you so upset?"Summer shook her head. "It's nothing. Didn't you see all the dirt about me online? You still like me after all of that?"Mason shook his head. "I didn't see those. Even if I did, I'd still like you. I know how you are. There's no need for me to learn about you from others.""Wow! Someone's a smooth talker." Summer finally smiled.Mason let out a sigh of relief. "Do you have anything else you want to ask about?""There's nothing else." Summer shook her head."Then, can I…" Mason actually didn't forget about him wanting to pay Henry a visit."You can't!" Summer shut him down immediately before she picked up the cotton s

That night was a night filled with unease for a lot of people.Anthony switched on his computer and copied two files from an encrypted folder. He had learned that Power Construction was trying to get into the IT industry as well and was looking for a product that would help them break into the market.The two files contained an application and a game. In his eyes, as long as these were developed and released, they would rake in massive profits. Those two files were both from Rose.Initially, they had been meant for him to use as a way to enter Hartford Group."Summer, I'll make sure you regret the decisions you made in the past," Anthony said as he looked at Summer's photo.Initially, he hadn't suspected Summer at all for what happened on the mountain. But when he was leaving, he secretly took that bottle of alcohol with him. Upon closer inspection, he realized the bottle wasn't the one he had tampered with.That was when he finally understood. Summer had probably known all about

"Go sit down over there!" Summer pointed at the dining room.Mason looked like he wanted to protest, but when Summer glared at him, he sat down obediently."When are you going out?" he asked.She answered, "I need to go out and discuss some things, so I'll be leaving around 10:00 am. I'll try my best to come back before 3:00 pm.""That long?" Mason frowned.Summer poured the chicken broth over the freshly cooked noodles and added two eggs inside before she put the bowl in front of Mason. "Mr. Hunt, I don't like clingy boyfriends. Keep that in mind."Mason didn't know what to say to that. Was he clingy?"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring something back for you." Summer decided to offer a small reward after scolding him."Crayfish that you made," Mason said without any hesitation."That's something for next year, so pick something else." She waved it off."How about that place you brought me to last time?" Mason said after some thought. He remembered her enjoying th

Now, in that tiny apartment, Mason actually felt it was incredibly empty.He sat down and tried to focus on some documents. After what felt like a long time, he checked his phone, only to notice that only ten minutes had passed, leaving him speechless.…Summer arrived at the meeting place ten minutes early. She didn't expect Saul and Lionel to already be there."Hey, I haven't seen you in so long!" Lionel grinned like a fool and stood up when he saw Summer.Summer didn't know what to say to that."Traffic wasn't bad?" Saul pulled out a seat for Summer.Summer nodded. "It was quite smooth. I didn't expect the two of you to be here so early.""Saul told me we were treating you to a meal today, so I got up bright and early." Lionel beamed."I'm so sorry. I've been really busy lately," Summer said apologetically.Saul poured her some coffee. "It's alright. We haven't ordered anything yet, so take a look and pick what you want."Summer didn't waste time ordering a few dishes.A

"You're leaving already?" Saul stood up."Is there anything else?" Summer looked at him.Saul hesitated, not knowing whether to speak or not.But Lionel, with his usual straightforward attitude, said, "It's actually Saul's birthday today. He probably just wants to invite you to his birthday party."Summer was caught off guard by that. "It's your birthday? I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I didn't even prepare a gift for you."Saul shook his head. "It's fine. I don't really celebrate my birthdays. If you have things to take care of at home, then go ahead. I have no plans this afternoon, so I can send you back.""There's no need. How could I let the birthday boy send me home?" Summer rejected him in a hurry.She had Mason hidden in her apartment, so there was no way she could bring anyone nearby."Then, I'll just walk you to the parking garage," said Saul, who was already used to being turned down by Summer."Alright, then…" Summer replied.They walked side by side toward the parki

Summer rubbed her temples. "Then, should I be thanking you for the reminder?""No need for that. Just come back soon," Mason replied in a serious tone.Summer could picture Mason's expression as he spoke. Suddenly, she was amused."Fine," she replied."Remember to get something to eat," Mason reminded.Summer's smile vanished immediately as she asked in a stern tone, "Did you skip lunch?""I didn't have an appetite since I was alone," Mason replied, sounding like he'd been wronged.Summer was rendered speechless.Saul stood not far away and watched her. For some reason, he started to have a feeling of unease.After a moment, she hung up and walked toward him.He smiled at her. "Someone from home?"Summer shook her head. "No. You can just leave me here. We'll see each other at the company in the future."Sault hesitated for a moment before he nodded. "Alright."Summer then jogged away. It was obvious she was in a hurry.Saul stood in place, watching as she left. After she

"That's coincidental," Mason raised an eyebrow.Summer was taken aback for a moment as she peeked her head out of the bathroom. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Mason. "Coincidence? Is today your birthday, too? Isn't it in November?"Mason looked up at her and smiled brightly. "You know my birthday?"Summer had to scramble for an excuse. "I heard my grandfather mention it.""I'm very happy that he cares about me so much." Mason nodded with a smile.Summer looked at him.She suddenly recalled what Henry said about Mason's birthday last year. "Just look at how long disasters last. That little wolf cub managed to survive one more year."Summer forced out a smile. "He really does care about you a lot."Mason knew very well what kind of care Henry had for him. But in a way, it was better than being ignored. A bad impression could slowly be reshaped.After a moment, Summer changed into her loungewear and sat in front of Mason. She rested her chin on one hand as she watched

Hartford Group wasn't a major player in the gaming field. It was only natural to partner with the biggest platforms if they wanted to maximize profits."I'm not considering anything else," Summer answered without any hesitation."I understand." Saul didn't try to convince her any further.In his eyes, Summer—the girl he liked—was far more intelligent than most people. He was never worried she didn't know what she was doing.After finishing up the first wave of work, Summer started to feel a sore pain in her neck. She stretched long and hard on the chair."How is it?" Mason asked from beside her.Summer turned and almost bumped heads with him.Normally, the two would have backed away in a situation like this. But this time, neither of them did.Their eyes met for a moment. Summer suddenly leaned forward and pressed her lips against Mason's.Mason's whole body visibly stiffened."What are you looking at?" Summer shouted at Mason in fake aggression when she snapped out of it. Sh

"What does it have to do with you?" Mason sneered."You…" Snow was shocked by his indifference.She'd just caught them doing something inappropriate. Shouldn't he be panicking? Shouldn't he be begging for her to keep their secret?Then, Mason forcefully pushed the door, shoving Snow outside and slamming it shut.Snow stomped her foot on the ground furiously, but there was nothing she could do. She thought to herself that she would go look for Summer tomorrow. If Mason didn't care, surely Summer would have some shame.Then, with a huff, she yanked up the pajama top that had slid down her shoulders and stormed back to her room.…Early the next morning, Summer woke up, washed up, and went to knock on Mason's door. After that, the two of them went to have breakfast in the dining room.Snow, as a volunteer, was in the dining room as well. When she saw the two of them walk in and how attentive Mason was to Summer, she felt a surge of jealousy in her heart."You still haven't gotten

Summer sat on the bed while Mason knelt at the bedside. He carefully applied ointment to her bites with visible concern.Summer reassured him, "It's just mosquito bites. They'll be gone after a good night's sleep.""Plenty of people have gotten sick from mosquito bites," Mason said.Summer reached out, grabbed his wrist, and attempted to pull him up. But she lost her balance and tumbled backward onto the bed, almost dragging Mason down with her.Luckily, he braced himself with both hands on either side of her, narrowly keeping them from falling. Now, he was hovering above her, and their eyes met.The scent of herbal balm filled the room, somehow making for a strange atmosphere."You got bitten on the cheek, too," Mason said as he looked at her face."Don't put that green stuff on my face. It's weird," Summer said."No…" Mason protested.Summer blinked. "It'll be fine. If you're really worried, just kiss it. Saliva has antibacterial properties, too."Mason said nothing as he l

Otherwise, Mason truly didn't know what he would do.Would he try to snatch Summer away? What if she hated him for it? What if she was never happy again because of it?That wasn't what he wanted. All he wanted was for Summer to live a happy, joyful life. Whether or not he was a part of that life didn't seem to matter much."There are some water lilies over there. They might still be in bloom, so let's go check them out." Summer's cheeks were flushed, and she was still slightly out of breath."Alright." Mason nodded.The two of them walked over side by side and even held hands for a while. By the time they reached the water lily pond, Summer let go.There were two couples by the pond. One pair was leaning close to the other, while the other was taking photos.Mason looked at them, finding the scene both dazzling and enviable. Once again, he regretted accepting to pretend to be her brother."Look! There are so many water lilies!" Summer didn't notice Mason's gloom as she grabbed

Once Snow was gone, the other women started to whisper among themselves."I bet she's going to look for Betsy. She probably wants to switch rooms to be next to that handsome guy.""For sure. She probably went to take a shower and doll herself up, too.""She's always throwing herself at guys but still acts so high and mighty. I really don't get what's going on in her head."Summer and Mason had already walked quite far ahead.Summer couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. "What do we do, Mason? It looks like that pretty girl has a crush on you."Mason glanced at her.Before she could react, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her hard. "You're very happy, aren't you?"There were quite a few guests walking around the farm at that moment.Summer was startled and tried to break free, but Mason only held her even tighter."Mr. Hunt, it was my fault!" Summer surrendered immediately.Mason said nothing."If that woman comes looking for you, I'll hel

Mason was visibly pleased when he heard Summer say that there was still plenty of time. He nodded without hesitation.After dinner, Summer and Mason took a leisurely stroll outside.The countryside at night was far quieter than the city. The farmland was in full bloom. With everything growing strong and lush, they walked along a small path, and when they looked up, the sky was filled with stars."There are so many stars!" Summer exclaimed.Mason looked up as well. He wasn't really interested in them. Rather than stars, he was far more interested in looking at Summer."You liked stars a lot when you were a kid," Mason said.Summer looked at him before she shook her head in disbelief. "We met just once when I was young. How much did I tell you?""You told me quite a lot," Mason said.Summer shook her head again. "It looks like I've always been weak to good-looking people. I told you everything, I guess."That made Mason's grin even wider. "So, is that a compliment?""Isn't that

"Hello," Mason greeted politely.Randall instantly lit up with the same warm smile as before. "No need to be so polite. The dishes are almost ready. Would you two like to eat inside the house or out in the open area out front?""What do you think?" Summer asked.Mason never expected that Summer treating him like her brother could have this sort of effect. "Whatever you like.""Let's eat inside first. We can walk around after dinner," Summer said.The owner chuckled and immediately had someone arrange it.It was the summer break, so there were quite a few guests at the farm, but not many were staying overnight.Summer had arrived late. Most people had already eaten and gone out for a stroll.Summer asked Mason softly, "What do you think? Do you like it? We can sleep here and go catch some shrimp tomorrow. There are many fruits and vegetables to pick, too. "When I came with my parents, they almost picked a whole carload and insisted on bringing them home. In the end, they gave

"How would you know where I want to go?" Mason asked with a smile."I just do!" Summer answered confidently.After passing what used to be the flea market, the road opened up into the countryside. Mason could see stretches of fields rolling by.On the way there, a call came in from the company.Summer glanced at Mason before she answered the call.Very quickly, she heard Lionel's voice. "Summer, have you eaten yet?""I still haven't. What's up?" Summer replied. Her tone was totally different from the one she used with Mason."There's a problem with the structure of the Escape From the Asylum project. I kept calling Hunt, but he hasn't been answering. Could you try contacting him later?" Lionel said.Hunt naturally referred to Saul.Ever since the restaurant incident, Saul had rarely shown up at the company. Summer had been so busy lately that the two of them barely crossed paths. Even so, they had kept in touch on the phone."I got it. If it's getting too late and you can't s

Even putting everything else aside, the incident that had taken Xena's life, according to Luke, had been a result of an internal family conflict. Xena had simply been caught in the crossfire.Cynthia had lost Xena—her sister—and then spent years in a vegetative state. If Mason ignored her, that would have reflected really poorly on his character. It would have meant that he had no sense of responsibility.Mason gave her a gentle smile. "That was a close call.""Let's go out for dinner tonight," Summer said suddenly.Mason was taken aback for a moment. "Go out? Aren't you afraid someone might see us?"Of course Mason wanted to, but Summer had always seemed reluctant to be exposed publicly like that.Summer said as she pulled Mason up. "No one will. Take off your suit. I'll bring you to a nighttime flea market. No wealthy folk will be there."Mason looked a little lost. He had never been to such places.While he went to change, Summer pulled out two baseball caps from a drawer an

In the blink of an eye, a busy month came to an end.That afternoon, Summer received a call from her apartment management. Someone from the floor below had complained about a leak from her unit, and they asked her to check it out.Summer immediately drove over.The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she didn't see the neighbor or the property staff. Instead, she was greeted with the sight of a massive bouquet, as well as Mason waiting for her right next to the door."You're back?" Summer's eyes lit up as her face bloomed with joy. She skipped over to Mason excitedly."I thought you said you wouldn't be back until next week?" Summer asked."I missed you so much that I came home early." Mason shifted the flowers aside and opened his arms.Summer lunged into his embrace with a radiant smile, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Welcome back, Mr. Hunt!"Mason held the bouquet with one hand as he gently stroked her head with the other. He lowered his head and kissed Summer on t
