“I want mommy. I want mommy…” Charlotte rubbed her eyes and cried in her tender nasal voice, and her eyes were swollen red.Although Charlotte was her granddaughter, she did not share any intimacy with her. Furthermore, it was her first time carrying her. Charlotte’s dainty figure and swollen eyes made her frown.“I still need to go to school and apologize to Anna.” She choked.“Why do you need to apologize?”“I hit her. I said bad things about her daddy. Teacher told me that if I’m wrong, I need to make amends. I need to apologize, or else everyone in class will hate me. But Anna was also wrong. I hit her because she scolded me first. After I apologize to her, she needs to apologize too!”As Yvette carried Charlotte while walking back and forth, she was amazed by her ability to reason at such a young age.Standing outside the mansion, Maria was engaged in a phone call. She appeared agitated, but she sounded exasperated. “There are no secrets in this world. How long can you keep
She then got up and went over to the police station. She turned herself in, and accepted any interrogation from the police.She revealed every single detail of her act, including the amount of alcohol she had with her and the process of her starting the fire. Nothing was left out from her confessional statement.Her surrounding was pitch black, but Yvette’s heart was still and at peace. She had just confessed everything thoroughly, from the start to the end. Summer was getting some rest at the other side of the police station when the police officers went over to her. They opened the door to let her out. Not even bothering to look at them, Summer just continued laying there motionless. She immediately said, “I’m not feeling so well so I can’t really walk around. I’ve already made an appeal too.” “Someone turned themselves in, so you may leave now.” The policewoman was emotionless as she spoke.‘Someone turned themselves in?’ Summer’s eyes widened slightly as she was truly shoc
Summer was laughing along with Charlotte as she carried her in her arms. With her index finger on her lips, Summer said, “Shh, don’t tell Daddy!”Life was back to normal for them. Time passed, and things were simple. It felt like nothing had changed, but it still felt so empty. Summer brought Charlotte to the hospital in the morning to greet Mark before dropping her off at school. She would then head to work and go straight to the hospital right after she was done with her shift in the evening. Mark was in the VIP ward, so Summer and Charlotte could practically live there and do as they like. Days passed, but Mark remained unconscious. Summer received a call and got to know that Jazz had returned. So, she went to the airport with Charlotte to pick Jazz up. The first thing Jazz said to Summer when he saw her was, “I’m truly sorry!”Summer raised her brows as she was confused. “Why are you saying sorry out of nowhere?”“For everything that my mother had done to you.” Jazz carr
“I’ve been sentenced to three years in prison and they said my behaviour is good enough for a commutation of sentence. Take care of yourself and your brother; I did him wrong,” Yvette spoke first with her head held low, her tone deep. Compared to the Yvette that he used to know, the Yvette before him now was like a completely different person. He loathed and despised her in his heart, but all he felt was pain and bitterness when he looked at her current state. “How about you? How have you been?” Jazz asked after pausing for a moment. “I’m doing very well.” Yvette lifted her head. Though she was skinny and dark, she still had energy and her eyes were sparkling. “It’s true, I really am doing well here, and I am making full use of my time. I’ve never experienced this kind of life before.”Though she said it lightly, it was filled with honesty. “I’ve been working with the ladies in here - weeding, gardening, and doing laundry together. I’ve always been alone back in Valentine mansio
“Darling, come say good morning to your daddy.” Summer walked out from the washroom.He has been unconscious for more than a month, and she has been reading the news and talking to him every day. He had never responded but she will not give up!“Mommy, Daddy is such a lazy pig!” Charlotte pouted her tiny lips. “Good morning, Daddy.”“Go drink some water. I’ll send you to school later.” She believed that he will wake up. She bent down and pecked his thin lips. ‘Mommy has been taking advantage of Daddy every day, how shameless!’Charlotte held a cup of water in her hand as she stood by the window, swaying her head left to right. As she did not hold the cup firmly, the cup wobbled and the hot water spilled out from the cup, splashing onto the back of Mark’s hand.The water was fresh from the jug, so it was quite hot. A few drops of it landed on her own hand as she gulped for air. Just like a thief, she pulled out her sleeve after noticing that Summer was nowhere to be seen. She q
“Tell me everything.” Mark gulped down his saliva. At that moment, he wanted to know everything about Summer. As long as it was related to Summer, regardless of how big or small it is, he wanted to know about it eagerly. Besides, he really liked listening to anything that was about her.Jazz also knew that he wanted to know about Summer, so he told him everything about her. He told him every single detail about the things that the mother and daughter had done from the day he was admitted to the hospital.They greeted him every morning and would always talk to him for half an hour or so. They would update him on the latest news, read him the newspapers, chat with him and massage him.

So I'll just edit it slightly haha, thanks!Comment by Sandra E: _Mar
“Also Daddy, you had been sleeping for so long that I grew taller again. Mommy said that I am three centimeters taller. Three centimeters is very tall, right? Daddy you need to wake up and punish Mommy, she has become lazier now! She doesn’t even make a proper breakfast nowadays, and things cannot continue like this. My teacher said I’m growing now and I need sufficient nutrients. What if I stopped growing taller? Sigh, it’s really worrying…”She formed her hand into a fist and put it under her chin before letting out a sigh.Mark could not keep himself together anymore as the corners of his lips curved up slightly, almost exposing his act. But Charlotte was not even looking at him. “My teacher told us a story about a boy named Sima who saved his drowning friend by breaking the clay vat with a rock to rescue him. But I don’t really like Sima because I think he is a little silly. You should just get your parents’ help if you see a boy drowning in a vat. Why would you need to break a
She must have been tired and lonely after keeping this up for more than a month. The next morningAfter having Charlotte greet him good morning, she wiped her face and left the ward with her. The man woke up from his bed not long after she left. He even had his suit ready - a black blazer, a navy blue blouse, and a white tie with blue stripes.Mark dialed a number while sipping on a cup of warm water. “Is everything ready?”It was Jazz on the other end, who was smiling with his eyes as he said cheekily, “Mark, how have I never known that you were such a romantic guy? You’re giving me goosebumps. Tsk tsk, would Summer pass out when she finds out about the surprise you’ve prepared for her?”“Busybody.” Mark immediately hung up the phone after spitting these words as a grin grew on his face.…The roads were busy and Summer was running late. She parked her car in a rush and ran towards the school after carrying her bag. She ran swiftly like the wind despite wearing a pair of t
