Anyway, including today, Summer will only be away for two days. She repeated instructions again and again before leaving with Charlotte.The car was still parked by the flower bed. Seeing her figure, Mark got out of the car and said, “Get in.”He fell asleep in the car. His hair and clothes were messy, his shirt was wrinkled, and his eyes were bloodshot, but it did not demean his beauty at all.“We’re going to the train station, there’s no need to get in the car, and the two are opposite directions.”The smell of smoke from him was strong, and Summer slightly wrinkled up her nose in discomfort.“Your train ticket has been cancelled and replaced by a plane ticket. The plane leaves at ten o’clock. There’s not much time left.” He looked at the time.“Who are you to make decisions for me?” She looked calm, but a little annoyed.“I didn’t make the decision, Charlie did. You can get angry at him at Santabaca,” Mark calmly explained.Summer was speechless at the explanation, but he ha
Charlotte dreads having her meds. Her mum would always have to force her to take them, so she thought, 'Uncle is so cool! He doesn't need mum to force him.'His lips curled up as he smiled with his eyes. He looked weary from his fever, and his voice had sounded deeper and sultrier when he said, "Do I look like a hero?" "A superhero!"He carried her over and placed her on his lap. He asked, "How great am I?"She pondered for a moment and motioned to the plane with her tiny fingers as she replied, "As mighty as this plane, and as great as Ultraman!"Vibrations could be felt from his chest when he let out a low chuckle. He pinched her cheeks with his larger hands. Not being able to fight over his drowsiness from his fever, he soon closed his eyes and fell asleep. Summer carried Charlotte over from him. From after they've boarded until they have landed, he remained asleep. Finally, when the plane had landed, Summer pushed his arm a few times and shook him awake. She told him, "
There was another ping after a moment. She furrowed her brows and tapped onto the message. It wrote, "You're really asleep?"She decided to delete all of his messages, yet again, another ping could be heard. She knew it was from him, so she ignored it. She had made a decision to leave it be. Her phone did not ring again afterward. She shifted her gaze before closing them and laid on her side. She had awoken quite early the next day. When she tapped on her phone to check the time, she had accidentally tapped onto the message, which said, "Good night." Her hand froze slightly. Feeling unbothered, she closed the message and noticed the time. It was 5 a.m. She got up immediately and woke Charlotte up. She was the bridesmaid while her daughter was tasked to be the flower girl. 'We can’t be late,' she thought.Charlotte did not want to wake yet. She rubbed her eyes with her soft hands and turned aside to snuggle against Daisy's arms as she resisted to wake. As she was worried abo
The trio didn't talk for long as it was almost time. They hurried to get dressed and put on some makeup. After that, they went to Grace's house as she was determined to get married off from her home. It was 10 when the wedding car arrived. Charlie had always been one who didn't mind spending, so when a limousine pulled over on Grace's street, everyone living there had come to see what the commotion was about. They were gossiping about, and words had spread that the Livingston's daughter is getting married, and they would have a wealthy son-in-law.Charlie had worn a handsome suit. Mark was absent, but Billy had come along. He was also wearing a suit. However, it was noticeable that Billy had looked much different from before. He used to be wild and had loved to hype up any parties or celebrations, but he hadn't done much. Even though he had looked more mature, but Summer felt as if he had changed. He was not who he used to be. The people fooled around and played some mini-g
"If he hasn't betrayed or cheated on you, no matter physically or mentally, after four years, and you had decided to forgive him for what he has done before, I don't see why you guys can't?" Sherman smiled softly and replied, "To be honest, I think what you have with Mark is much simpler than Billy and I. Even though you guys had gotten married with a contract, he filled you in on what happened before. Even though they had been slightly intimate a few times after Raine came back..." "What they did was not too over the line for adult relationships. If it was not for Mark being a hygiene freak and the familiarity of his body to yours, he would've slept with Raine and would not have pestered you so many times." Summer had heard too much about him from Sherman and Grace alone. She had only smiled as a reply. "If someone like me can give Billy a second chance, I don't see why you can’t give Mark one, especially since you still love him. What he did was not as cruel as Billy and besi
When Billy returned to the hall, Summer was getting some desserts for Charlotte while Sherman was sitting on the couch alone. He wrapped his arms around Sherman's shoulders and asked, "Do you feel like having anything? Any desserts or fruits? I'll grab some for you." "Maybe some fruits will do," she smiled and replied after waking from her trance. "Okay, wait here," he got up and went to get pieces of every fruit. When his arm was lifted, Sherman noticed the purple sandalwood bracelet he wore on his wrist. His expression was unwavering, and he smiled as he replied, "Honey, do you remember Mrs. Woods, the secretary in our office?""What about her?" she asked. Sherman knew Mrs. Woods. She was Billy's assistant, and she was a hardworking woman in her mid-forties. "Well, she went to San Marcaome for a trip previously, and this bracelet was the souvenir she got for every one of us in the office. Doesn't it look great? But I can take it down if you don't like it," he said as he mo
Charlotte was too young to be able to sense the undercurrents between adults. She was eating strawberries while she said, "Well, I have a lot of uncles but no daddy.""It seems she's indeed a bastard child. Ex-Mrs. Valentine's life is really as indecent as rumors say. Not sure whom this child resembles. "There was already a rage burning in Summer's heart. She gave a long cold stare at the reporter. At this time, a gracefully tall silhouette approached them. Mark, with a handsome face and a glass of wine in his hand, glanced over the reporter. His eyes were icy cold. " Did you just say bastard child? Repeat again, I didn’t hear it clearly just now..."Although his tone was not harsh, his voice sent those people shivers."Can't you see whom this child resembles?" As he spoke, he leaned over to hold Charlotte into his arms. "Something must be wrong with your vision." Cold voice came from his thin lips.As soon as the people around saw both of them, they realized that the child bor
If she had talked to Jazz about this matter, there was no way he would respond with a big reaction. What's more, he would even feel that his elder brother had done the right thing!Never did Yvette forget that this vixen was the reason severing her relationship with Jazz four years ago. Now things between her and Jazz had finally got better and she did not want another damage.As for Mark, this son of hers would not listen to her for sure, so the only person she could talk to was Raine."That child is his daughter, Yvette. She is your granddaughter too. Hence, these shares are not given to outsiders but to a family member. There's no need to be so angry."Raine's voice came from the other end of the call after a slight pause."I have not acknowledged that she's my granddaughter, and Mark has no plan to fight that vixen for custody. This means that 15 percent of the shares fall into that vixen's hand. Don't you get the picture?"Yvette sounded like a frustrated teacher. 'How can R
