"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
Edmund smiled wryly. "Yes, and Summer wanted you to complete her family. Therefore, I hope you can make my granddaughter happy. Don't let her down. She has high hopes for you."Louis nodded. He held Summer's family photo tightly as if he was afraid of losing it. It was so precious."Yes, I will make her happy, and Sky too. I will make them both happy."Then, holding back his tears, Louis took a quick breath. "Thank you, Sir. Thank you for giving me the opportunity and showing me Summer's photos. It gave me a new idea for today's surprise."Edmund nodded casually. "No need to thank me. I did this for my granddaughter's happiness. Now go. Prepare the best surprise for her, and return my photo. I only lent it."Louis laughed faintly. He returned the special photo to the album, then put it in the box with the previous two pictures. After thanking Edmund one more time, he went inside. An important mission awaited him.***"Uncle Louis!" Summer shouted as she jumped out of the room. Her fac
"Did you find this paper because you wanted to clean up the dishes? Wow! It turns out that you are not only a little adventurer, but also a sweet child. Because of your kindness, you have the right to exchange this paper for any food you want. Louis will treat you!"Summer's laughter was stifled by that message. As her shoulders rose to pinch her neck, her eyes glanced right and left. Finding no one, she rushed to take her plate and glass to the kitchen sink."I am indeed a sweet child. I planned to clean this up while picking up Toby," she said loudly. She was worried that her gift would be considered forfeited if her mother found out the truth. She had forgotten to clean up the dishes earlier.After tiptoeing, making sure the dishes were in a safe place, Summer ran, carrying Toby to the living room.Seeing that, Louis chuckled from behind the binoculars. "I think we should hide now. Summer's already come out of the dining room. She'll definitely come soon.""Yeah, Summer is smart. S
"Did you peek?" Louis asked, making Summer laugh louder."No, Uncle. My fingers felt itchy, so I moved them a little," she denied in a sweet voice.Feeling amused, Louis rubbed her head. "Count to ten. Then you can open your eyes.""Okay!"Summer counted at lightning speed. In just three seconds, she completed the challenge. Her eyes were opened.A second later, she gasped. Her mouth turned round, her joy starting to mix with emotions.Alice and Edmund were setting up the camera right in front of Summer. Both of them were arguing, even though the camera was already standing nicely on the tripod.Meanwhile, on Summer's right and left sides, Louis and Sky sat with big smiles. Neither of them touched or hugged her, but Summer felt very warm.Moreover, the tree branches above them had been decorated so nicely. Summer thou
"Now, a photo session with Toby. Come on, Grandpa!" Summer gave a cue.Sky spontaneously leaned towards Summer. Her hand was holding Summer's shoulder. Seeing that, Louis imitated her pose.Summer was satisfied with their second photo. Louis looked more relaxed. She also felt more affection captured there."Okay! Now, the last photo session." She gave Toby to Alice. Her grandmother's hands were now completely full.When Summer sat on the chair, Sky put her arms around her little stomach. Summer giggled. When Louis hugged her too, her little laugh grew louder."Oh, I like this pose," Summer grabbed Louis and Sky's necks with her arms, pulling them closer. As a result, their third photo looked very warm."Try another pose!" Alice exclaimed. She felt it would be a shame if the moment was not captured well.Soon afterward, they took photos in
Louis was stunned. His anxiety faded, melted by emotions. "These three tickets are for you, Little Human. You should have written down three different destinations.""But I want to go with you and Mommy. No matter how good the place I go to is, without you guys, it would be a boring trip. I just want an adventure with my family," Summer said while shrugging. Her lips were curled up sincerely.Louis' heart was touched. As his chest tightened, his tears gathered. When he couldn't hold back his emotions any longer, he got up from the chair."Summer," he bent his knees, leveling his eyes with the toddler's. "You seem to have high hopes for me. Aren't you afraid that I will disappoint you?"Summer shook her head quickly. "No. I'm sure you'll never disappoint me, Uncle Louis. Moreover, you'll soon be my daddy. I believe you'll be a good daddy and will never disappoint me," she answered cheerfully.&
Seeing their daughter's pouting face, Sky and Louis chuckled. Their eyes were filled with tears, coated with emotion and pride."Sorry, Honey. Mommy and Daddy had urgent business. We had to turn on airplane mode for a while," Sky said, a little hoarsely."I wanted to show you the sandwiches River and I made. But when I called, your numbers were no longer active. You rarely turn off your phones like yesterday and earlier. That made me worried. I even called the ship to ask about your condition. Luckily, the captain was kind. He promised to ensure your safety. Then, I called you again. Daddy's number was active, but he was busy. River said that instead of me calling you continuously, I'd better pray. That's why I kept praying. And it turned out, River's method worked. Mommy made this video call!"Summer hugged her phone tightly. She didn't care if her mother's phone screen went dark because the camera was covered by her body.Sky laughed faintly in Louis' arms. Louis kissed her head, th
"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
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
