“I’d made it very clear that it is impossible if you wished to reconcile with him. People often said you rise from where you fall, yet you have to fall several times on the same spot!” Daisy continued angrily. “I thought you could be more sensible, but I didn't expect you to give me such nonsense today.” Summer was without words. She didn't mention a single word about it and said, “Mom. Dad. I will be going to Anthana the day after tomorrow.” “What are you going to do in Anthana?" said Daisy emotionally. "I am worried about Dean because he was only able to feel his legs recently. I will come back once I help him settle down over there."After hearing what Summer said, her parents did not stop her. "Go then. Dean is a good person and we should repay him for his kindness." Summer nodded and went back to her room. She began to pack her luggage. ‘Charlotte would also be coming along,’ she thought. While she was sorting her clothes, Summer’s cell rang. She felt unco
Billy was side-lying on the sofa while swiping through his phone. He lifted his head, “So, are you guys back together?” Being unbothered, Mark ordered his servants to pack up. This time around, he must follow them to Athana. Dying out of boredom, Charlie’s gaze landed on Billy. ‘What the h*ll is this guy playing? Ever since he stepped into the apartment, he has been playing with his phone. It had already been an hour and I’ve never seen him stop before.’ He got up and walked over while staring at his every movement. Billy’s movement was still faster than his. In a split moment, Billy had deleted everything. When Charlie looked over, Billy was swiping through Instagram. “Since when did you get so bored to get on Instagram? This doesn’t seem like the Billy Day that we know of.” Billy looked up and shrugged. “I just realized that Instagram also brings another level of entertainment. It’s pretty interesting.” “But when did you change to a new phone again?” Charlie snatched ov
Daisy and Solomon insisted on sending them off. As they were worried about Charlotte getting unaccustomed to the climate in Athana. It only made Summer feel annoyed. They hadn’t reached Athana yet, but Daisy and Solomon were already dead worried. “Overall, if Charlotte is feeling unwell, just send her back first and then you’ll go over again. Do you hear me?” Daisy advised worriedly, “Don’t you dare think about saving money on plane tickets and let my granddaughter suffer.” “Okay. Okay. I got it!” Summer replied hurriedly. Throughout the journey to the airport, she had heard these words multiple times so she could memorize them instinctively. For quite a long while, they carried Charlotte in their arms. It was only when the boarding time was nearing did Daisy and Solomon leave. As the boarding announcement was broadcasted, Summer turned around. As she was about to hold Charlotte’s hand and walk, she felt a huge force pulling her. Then she was pushed to a pillar. Even before s
“The doctor was here yesterday. As for the treatment, the plan has been drafted; we will carry on with the surgery tonight.”Mark scanned the villa, “Is there anything that is still lacking?”“It’s perfect, Mr. Valentine. All your preparations are adequate and thorough.”Not long after lunch, they went to the hospital for the surgery. The operation ended quickly in less than an hour. The doctor was smiling brightly, which meant good news.Surrounding Dean were all specialists, and Summer wasn’t of any use to them. Nevertheless, the nurses wouldn’t let her come closer too.Dean’s condition improved greatly after a day. With the doctor’s approval, Summer went in and had a quick chat with him.She was asked to leave after a while, and she sat drearily on a long bench.Disapproving, Mark helped her up and said, “Come with me to a place, it’s very interesting.”Before Summer could ask about the place, he had already led her out as he carried Charlotte.She was thinking of another p
Mark was puzzled, so he asked curiously, “You know him?”“My brother and dad love watching the NBA. I’ve watched it with them a few times, so there are only a few players that I know. That one, is Dwayne Wade.” She pointed with her slender fingers.He hugged her and said, “Hmm, you know quite a lot too…”Summer became energized, “Can we get their signatures after the match?”“You want them?” he asked.“I’m giving them to my dad and brother. They love the basketball superstars,” She answered naturally.“No problem,” Mark smiled as he answered.She brimmed and added, “Leave an extra one for me.”He became displeased and asked, “Why do you want it?” His voice was deep.‘Can’t he speak normally? Why must his speech be so haughty?’He hugged her again, then in a gentle tone, he spoke teasingly beside her ear, “Babe, won’t you want mine instead? Full body, half body, nude, topless; whatever and how many you want, and at any angle at all isn’t a problem…”Unable to bear it, Summer
The room grew silent. Ever so slowly, Mark opened his eyes and turned to his side. Stroking her face with his slender fingers, he then tucked her hair behind her ear. He softly pecked on her and gave a small kiss on little Charlotte's cheek. He then got up and quietly headed to the washroom to take a quick cold shower. Under the care of professional nurses, Dean's legs had been recovering quickly. He could feel his legs again and could even stand on his feet for up to a minute. He had gotten used to living in Athana, and he hadn't seemed to be home-sick which was much to Summer's relief."You should bring Charlotte back," he said as he smiled and continued, "I think she has gotten quite sick of having the food here by now.""But what about you?" Summer asked while staring at him."I'll return to Santabaca when my legs have fully recovered. I would naturally return soon. I still have a job there after all. Plus, I have the most renowned nurses here taking care of me, what else
Once they've arrived home, Charlotte was immediately engulfed in Daisy's embrace. Daisy showered her with kisses. Solomon hugged her and checked if she had lost any weight while asking if she had eaten well over at Athana. Little Charlotte nodded and took out two gifts from her suitcase. She presented the gifts to them as if she was holding treasure in her hands. With her cute squeaky voice, she said, "This is for grandma, and this is for grandpa." "Aww, my baby. You even got your grandmother a gift. Come, let me give you more kisses as thank you!"Summer got herself a cup of warm water and took a seat on the couch. She updated them about Dean's condition, and they felt relieved after hearing that he was getting well.Summer received a call after dinner. It was from Grace. She had asked for Summer to meet up as they hadn’t met in a while.Daisy did not object her from going. After changing her outfit and grabbing her bag, she waited for Grace in the lobby of her apartment.A re
"Nope. He's been busy dealing with a contract with his client lately, and it sounded urgent. He has been sleeping at his office these few days. It's just me alone at home, and honestly, it's quite lonely. I prefer to stay here with you guys and have fun." Staying in a big house all alone, one could only hear their own echoes. All that accompanied them was their own loneliness. Around half-past 10, Summer and Sherman had pulled Grace back from the dance floor. They scolded, "That's enough. You've danced enough!" Grace had felt better after venting all her rage. The trio had gone their separate ways after leaving the club.Charlotte had been whining about wanting to eat cookies, so Summer decided to get some before returning home. Coincidentally, a bakery was just next to the club.She got some cookies and also some pastries Charlotte liked. As she walked forward, she saw Ronald and Yvette at a cross-junction. It had seemed that they had just returned from Norwood. Ronald was p
