Kendrick was entertained by the conversation between the mother and daughter. After clearing his throat, he stepped closer.

"How do you feel about him, Little Girl? Will you hate him? He is a bad person who has ignored you and left your mother to struggle alone," he shrugged as if he didn't care about it.

Summer was pensive. She didn't realize that her mother was nervously waiting for her answer.

"Mommy said, hating other people is not a good thing. So, I won't hate him. I will only be angry and give him a severe punishment," Summer nodded while putting her hands on her hips.

Kendrick was satisfied with her response. Moreover, Sky's face grew gloomy beside the toddler.

"Well then," Kendrick narrowed his eyes, "how about we make a deal? I won't throw you off the cliff as long as ... you do what I say."

Summer furrowed her brows. Thinking, she looked up at Sky. Her mother gave her a hint with a shake of her head.

Seeing that, Kendrick quickly spoke, "You still want to live, right? If yo

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   149. Got Shot

    Summer took a step back. Her eyes were round. "Why did you tell me to do that? That's cruel, Sir. I don't want to be a bad person. I don't want to go to jail or hell."Kendrick's lips were curled into a frown. With a stiff look, he raised an eyebrow. "So, you refuse my order?""Yes! I'm a good kid. I will only do good things."The corner of Kendrick's lips was twitched cynically. "So you choose your father over your mother?"Summer blinked, her eyebrows lowered again. "What do you mean, Sir?""Did you forget? If you refuse my order, it means I have to shoot your mother."Summer gaped. She understood now. Kendrick was forcing her to choose one."So, who will you save? Your father or your mother? I need to remind you. If you choose your mother, I can guarantee that both of you will be safe. But if you choose your father, your mother will definitely die and your father will most likely not survive. Do you choose to lose one parent or two?"Summer pouted. Tears began to gather in her eyes.

    Louis looked at Summer's face. He just realized that the toddler's eyes were also filled with tears."Is that so? You're not scared at all?"Summer pinched the air with her index finger and thumb. "A little, but I'm not scared anymore now. You're here. I know you can take good care of me and Mommy," she hugged Louis again, more tightly.Receiving such sweet treatment, Louis laughed faintly. While pressing his head against her curly hair, he patted her small back."I'm glad you're okay, Little Human. You're not hurt, are you? I saw you running really fast earlier."Summer chuckled. "Yes, I'm fine. Just a little tired and sleepy. I only took a short rest last night. There were a lot of things I had to do. But that's no problem. I'm happy because my plan and strategy went smoothly. Moreover, we've managed to defeat the villain."With an adorable smile, Louis stroked Summer's hair. After kissing her forehead, he whispered, "You're an amazing child, Summer. I'm so proud of you."Summer smil

    "Thank you, Sky," Louis kissed the back of her hand. "I promise I won't waste your chance."Sky nodded. After a moment of silence, she closed her eyes to welcome Louis' soft kiss. They only stopped when Omega cleared his throat from behind the wheel."Sir, I'm sorry. We've arrived."Louis and Sky finally took some distance. While catching their breath, they smiled shyly."Let's continue it later, hmm?" Louis whispered, teasingly.Sky nudged his arm. "We shouldn't do anything for now. Papa is still watching us."Louis nodded obediently. At that moment, Edmund ran out of the house. Alice and Freddy followed behind."Summer? Sky?" Edmund called with an anxious face.As if hearing the call, Summer opened her eyes. Realizing that the car had stopped, she sat up."We're home?" she muttered hoarsely. With eyes still droopy, she looked out the window."Oh? Grandpa? Grandma?"In an instant, her spirits rose. Her smile widened, her eyes brightened."Mommy, Uncle Louis, let's get out of the car!

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   152. Edmund's Blessing

    Louis was stunned to see the tears pooling in Edmund's eyes. He still couldn't believe his own eyes and ears.Did he catch the right sight and words? Receiving Edmund's thanks had never crossed his mind."Excuse me, Sir. Did you just thank me? But .... Didn't you think that I was the cause of the chaos? You yourself said that Summer and Sky wouldn't be in danger if I hadn't met them here," Louis muttered.Edmund smiled wryly, his head shaking sincerely. "No, Louis. It's not entirely your fault. I've been thinking a lot this morning. I think ...."Edmund sighed heavily. Admitting a mistake was not easy."Those people were able to take Sky and Summer away because of my selfishness. If only I hadn't separated them from you, those criminals wouldn't have attacked us. Sky and Summer would still be safe."While Louis was stunned, Sky looked at Edmund with teary eye

    Sky quickly widened her smile. "Nothing. I'm just touched. Now, should we go inside? Summer will complain if she doesn't see us after she finishes her shower."Edmund nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's wait for her in the dining room. After she comes, let's have breakfast together. Fred?"Freddy blinked. His eyes lit up again. "Yes, Sir?""Let's have breakfast!"The man smiled thinly. He thought he was no longer needed. He was a loser who failed to win Sky's heart. But apparently, Edmund still treated him warmly."Okay, Sir." Together with Edmund, he went inside.Meanwhile, Louis walked beside Sky. "So, what's wrong?" he whispered without being heard by the others.Sky glanced thinly. Her eyes blinked, confused about how to tell her worries. "It's about Summer. She ...."Louis raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with Summer?"Sky took a deep breath. "I think," he hesitated for a moment, "Summer hates you."Louis stared wide-eyed. His finger pressed against his chest. "Summer hates me? How

    "They took Mommy to a room. Mommy was sleeping there. Meanwhile, I talked to Kendrick. Do you know, Grandpa? I managed to piss him off. He messed up his hair like this and groaned!" Summer demonstrated Kendrick's anger, that she remembered. This time, she didn't exaggerate.Sky could not help but to hold her breath. She knew what was coming. She didn't expect Louis to find out the truth so quickly.Meanwhile, Louis widened his eyes. He also realized that Summer was going to tell something related to what Sky was about to discuss."What did you guys talk about, Little Human?" he probed, making Sky wince.The innocent Summer answered, "He forced me to hate you, Uncle Louis."Louis flinched. His tongue began to feel stiff. "What?""He forced me to admit that you were my father, but I refused. I insisted that you were not my father, but my daddy," Summer nodded f

    "By the way," Sky said, breaking the silence. She knew Louis needed time to process the situation, "why are we so busy chatting? Let's eat. Our breakfast will get cold if we ignore it for too long.""Yeah," Alice continued, nodding quickly, "let's continue eating. Summer, finish your soup."The toddler adjusted her sitting position. "Okay, Grandma."The others also continued eating breakfast. Only Louis remained frozen in confusion. Various questions hung in his mind.What if Summer could not forgive him? What if she did not want to call him Daddy? And worst of all, what if she did not allow him to marry Sky?"What should I do to atone for my sins to her?" Louis shouted in his heart. For his latest question, he hoped to find the answer soon.Unfortunately, until breakfast was over and Summer was fast asleep, Louis was still like a lifeless body. His thoughts

    Louis took a deep breath. He could feel his chest tightening. "What do you really want to talk about, Sir? Do you want to explain the consequences of my stupidity?""No," Edmund shook his head quickly. "I actually want to help you get to know my daughter and granddaughter better."Louis was stunned. Catching his emotions, Edmund cleared his throat, breaking the awkwardness.That's when Louis blinked. He realized his gaze was too intense."I'm sorry, Sir. I'm grateful that you have such good intention, even though I was the one who caused Sky's suffering.""You shouldn't bring that up again, Louis. I could hit you whenever I remember my mistakes to Sky. It all started with you."Louis nodded. "Okay. Then," he lowered his head, looking back at the photograph in his hand, "what happened after you found this?""I lived in a dilemma," Edmund r

    "Wait!" Louis raised his index finger. His other hand was busy with his phone. A moment later, he showed the captain's contact. "Look at this number! You must recognize it, right? This is Captain Alvarez's number. What do you think will happen if I call him?"Pablo's eyes widened when he saw Louis calling the number. His body stiffened. Before his teammates realized the vibration of the phone in his pocket, he shouted, "What are you waiting for? Arrest them!"Louis gave the phone to Sky and took a stance. When the officers approached, he threw them away.Because the situation was getting chaotic, Pablo began to lose patience. He took out the only remaining gun behind his waist. Just before he opened fire, a bullet shot through his leg."Aaargh!" Pablo's groan echoed.Everyone was startled. When they turned to Pablo, the man had bent over in pain. His pants were starting to get wet with red.While the officers were stunned, Louis grabbed the gun from Pablo's hand. The next second, they

    Suddenly, Louis grabbed Sky's hand and pulled her behind the wall next to the door. At that moment, the sound of a sensor was heard. When the door opened, Louis hit the hand that was pointing a gun forward. It easily fell to the floor."You!" Pablo was wide-eyed. He launched a counterattack. However, Louis blocked it effortlessly.The two men then competed in strength. Fortunately, Louis was superior. After a while, he managed to bend Pablo down, and the security officers arrived in the room."Sir, please arrest him! He has been working with Draco and Angelica. He is the one who framed me and my husband!" Sky pointed with round eyes.Two officers moved closer to Pablo. However, instead of securing the criminal, they arrested Louis. Sky was wide-eyed watching Pablo free."Sir, you have the wrong person! It is not my husband you should arrest, but your teammate! He is not an ordinary security officer, but a criminal!" Sky shouted loudly.Seeing her confusion, Pablo laughed faintly. With

  • Mr. CEO, You Have to Marry My Mommy   S2| 79. Surprise Him

    Louis put the tray on the table with great caution. Not because he was afraid of spilling the food, but because he was afraid that Draco would attack suddenly.Fortunately, Draco did not realize his disguise. Louis turned to help Sky. That's when Draco cleared his throat."Please put the tray here," he pointed to the bed beside him.Louis and Sky spontaneously glanced over. Their eyes were fixed on Draco's strange way of standing. His leg was clearly still sore.Not wanting to arouse suspicion, Louis nodded. He followed Draco's order. But when he was putting the tray on the bed, Draco spoke, "Wait."Louis froze. Sky also held her breath."Are you an intern?" he asked Sky.Sky nodded."What's your name?" Draco's eyes narrowed.Realizing that Draco was starting to get suspicious, Louis finally took action. He attacked him, bending both of his knees so that he groaned in pain.At that moment, Sky gagged Draco's mouth with a cloth. Then, while Louis held Draco's hands behind his waist, sh

    "How was it?" Louis asked when they met in their cabin again."Pablo searched around here," Sky pointed to a row of cabins, one floor below theirs.Louis patted his wife's shoulder proudly. "Good, Sky. You are the best."Then, Louis took his laptop. He checked the CCTV footage of the ship on that floor. It wasn't difficult for him to gain access.Not long after, he found CCTV footage that had a time gap. Previously, they only found CCTV footage of when Draco came out of their room with a limping leg that was bandaged carelessly. He was last seen when he entered the elevator.But then, Draco seemed to have never left the elevator. Even though Louis checked the CCTV on every floor, the criminal was nowhere to be found.Now, with the oddness of the CCTV footage, they had a new clue."I knew it! They couldn't have manipulated all the cameras perfectly. There must have been something missed," he exclaimed happily.Sky looked closer. She checked the time gap that Louis had found. "Wow! How

    "Oh? Why is Mommy calling so early? Shouldn't they still be in the Drake Passage? What does she want to report if she hasn't met the penguins yet?" she muttered before pressing the phone to her chubby cheek."Good morning, Mommy," she greeted sweetly."Morning, Honey. Have you washed your face?"Summer nodded. "Yeah, I was just about to go see River. We were planning to prepare breakfast together. Sandwiches that are rich in nutrients and fiber! We'll put lots of vegetables in them!"Sky chuckled at her daughter's cheerfulness. That's when Louis joined in, "Good morning, Summer. You sound really excited today.""Morning, Daddy! Yes, I'm excited because I'm sure it's going to be a beautiful day. How about you two? Are you having fun?"Louis and Sky exchanged glances. After a silent discussion, Sky finally opened the conversation, "Summer, can we ask you something?"Summer's eyes widened. Her mother rarely spoke in such a serious tone. "What's up, Mommy?""What did you do with River yes

    That day, they spent the rest of the night in their own cabin. There were no security officers guarding the door after they moved. When morning came, Sky was ready with the scenario that Louis had designed. She went alone to meet Angelica."What do you want here? Insult me? Announce that you have won?" Angelica greeted her sarcastically.Sky shook her head slowly. "I came here to ask. Why did you do that?""Do what?""Trap Louis. Who ordered you?" Sky put on a curt look.Angelica's lips pursed. "No one. I myself want your husband. You don't deserve him."Sky snorted. Her lopsided smile looked mysterious. "How much did he pay you?""Pay what?" Angelica raised her eyebrows."If you tell me the truth, I can double the fee. Or, do you want to move up a class? Louis can help you get into a more famous magazine."&nb

    "Okay. We'll do it right away," the security officer said before leaving to carry out his duties. Sky was finally able to lay Louis on the bed."Does your head still hurt?" she whispered while stroking his hair.Louis nodded. Sky smiled slightly. She didn't expect the incident five years ago to repeat. She managed to save Louis from a wild woman again."Then, sleep. You'll be better after you wake up.""Please stay," Louis asked while holding her hand.Sky smiled amusedly. "I'm not going anywhere. Just sleep.""Okay."While putting Sky's hand on his chest, Louis fell asleep again. Sky could only stare at his handsome face in silence."The scenario played by Draco and Angelica is similar to what happened before. Is the mastermind behind this incident the same person? But, Kendrick is in prison. How could he hire people

    Angelica glanced at Sky cynically. Seeing what Sky was pointing at her, she grimaced."Damn it," she cursed.As she could not accept that her mission had failed so quickly, she opened the drawer and grabbed a gun. She thought that was the only way to get rid of Sky.But it turned out, when she wanted to attack, Sky was already so close. In just one movement, Sky managed to grab the gun from her."You!" Angelica's anger boiled. She was on the verge of despair."Just surrender, Angelica. Whatever you do, you can't take Louis from me," Sky said firmly.That was when the security officers came. Seeing Sky pointing a gun, they all stared wide-eyed. "Mrs. Harper?""I'm not the bad guy here, but she is! She kidnapped my husband!" Sky shouted without lowering her gun. She did not want to be off guard.Suddenly, Angelica put o

    Draco laughed softly. "Stop bluffing, Sky. You don't even know how to use a gun. How can you possibly shoot?"Sky checked the bullets in the gun. After making sure the ammunition was ready, she threatened, "I'm not bluffing. I am indeed good at shooting. If you don't want to regret it, you better put both your hands behind your head and kneel in the corner over there."Draco glanced at the corner that Sky mentioned. He sneered, "That's not my place, Sky. My place is on the bed. With you."Draco stepped forward. At that moment, Sky fired a bullet into his thigh. In an instant, the sound of an explosion echoed. Draco's groan followed."Sky? You shot me?" he groaned furiously."Didn't I remind you? It's your fault you didn't listen," Sky cursed as she reloaded the gun. "If you don't want to get a second wound, don't stop me from saving my beloved husband. Understood?"As Draco gritted his teeth, Sky quickly got out. She ran towards the hallway where Draco had approached her. There, she s
