"Thank you, Summer." Louis hugged the toddler again. His chuckle was getting along with the remaining tears. "Thank you for giving me a chance to make amends. I am very lucky to have a daughter as kind as you. I promise, I will not be a stupid father again."
"But remember, Uncle Louis. You must still carry out the punishment," Summer reminded him.
Louis nodded faintly. "Let's talk about it later. Now, I want to enjoy this moment. I am glad that my daughter is willing to accept me."
"And also the rewards I got from each mission. We'll have to talk about it later. I don't want to miss any of them. I earned them with great difficulty," Summer got closer to show her seriousness.
Louis chuckled. "Sure. You're a good child. You deserve a lot of rewards."
Suddenly, Edmund stepped closer. With teary eyes, he asked, "What about me? Are you going to punish me too?"
Eve
Summer shrugged innocently. "That's because you're too slow, Mommy. Just say yes! Uncle Louis' knees will hurt if they bend too long. Besides, my heart is already sweating a lot. I can't bear the itch any longer!"Everyone chuckled hearing Summer's chatter. The way she scratched her chest was adorable too.Not wanting her daughter nag again, Sky looked at Louis. She couldn't hide her smile anymore.Yesterday, when Louis proposed to her, she was already on cloud nine. Now, with such a more romantic proposal? Her heart had soared to the moon!"Yes, let's marry and be one family," Sky answered with a smile.Getting the heart-pounding answer, Louis sighed in relief."Thank you, My Beautiful Adventurer," he replied, making Sky's cheeks blush. It was the first time he had called her by such an affectionate nickname.Then, Louis opened the woode
"Sky and Summer look so happy," Alice whispered as she leaned on her husband's shoulder.Edmund put his arm around her waist lovingly. "Yes. We should have let them be together a long time ago.""We?" Alice raised an eyebrow.Edmund snorted sadly. "Okay. Just me. I shouldn't have stopped Sky from approaching Louis a long time ago."Alice smiled faintly. "Relax, Ed. There's nothing to regret anymore. Everything is fine now. We just have to enjoy it.""Yes. We just have to enjoy it."At that moment, three cars entered the yard. Seeing those unknown vehicles, Edmund and Alice exchanged glances. Their smiles faded. Louis, Sky, and Summer also stopped laughing."Who is it, Mommy?" Summer whispered, nervously."I don't know, Honey."They waited with pounding hearts for who would get off. Suddenly, Summe
"I can't imagine the company's fate in his hands. I hope he doesn't make too much of a mess," Louis muttered.Emily snorted at his remark. "Hey, Louis," she patted his arm. "You always call me a workaholic, but so are you. Can't you just take your mind off the company for one day? You should focus on your own mission now."Louis pursed his lips. "I'm not a workaholic, Emily. Just thinking about responsibility. I'm a father now. I have to be a role model for my daughter."Everyone was wide-eyed at his words. They fell silent, their gazes wandered at Louis, Sky, and the little girl's expressions."Louis? Has she ...."Louis nodded to Emily. "Yes, she knows. Summer already knows that she is my daughter.""Yes, I already know! And Uncle Louis just proposed to Mommy with a beautiful wooden ring. They will be married soon, and then, I can call him daddy!" Summer re
Louis looked at Summer with a warm heart. He liked her enthusiasm, but he had to be realistic. "How about next weekend?"Summer's eyes reflected light again. "That's a great idea, Uncle Louis!"However, Sky frowned. She had a different idea. "Are you sure, Louis? Isn't that too soon? With less than one week of preparation, we can only have a simple wedding.""Do you mind?" Louis replied lightly.Sky blinked. "Me? No.""Me neither. Let's have a simple wedding. Isn't that what you dream of? A wedding in the middle of the forest attended by only the closest people."Sky was taken aback. "How did you know about that?"Louis stroked Sky's head affectionately, as if no one else was around. "You told me yourself. Did you forget?"As Sky checked her memory, Emily clapped her hands once. She exclaimed, "Oh, I remember! When we
"So," Emily put her hand on Summer's knee, "do you agree with this design? Is there anything you want to change?"Summer shook her head. "No, Auntie. It's perfect. I can't wait to see Mommy in it.""Okay. Thanks for your feedback, Sweetie. Now," Emily gave the tablet to Louis, "what do you think?"Louis and Sky looked at the design at the same time. It was a white sheath dress inspired by a jumpsuit. That's why it had straps with metal hooks and buttons."Wow! I've never seen a wedding dress like this before. This is a new style!" Louis commented as he turned to Sky."Yes, and it suits me perfectly. But, Emily, isn't the neckline too low? Since I'm not going to wear a sweater under this dress, I'll feel uncomfortable if .... You know what I mean."Emily chuckled. "I knew it. You were going to ask me to raise the neckline. No problem. I've got plan B. Just sli
Seeing how sweet Louis and Sky were, Emily took a deep breath. "Alright. I'll make it according to your wishes. A nice dress that protects your future wife from the wind."Louis nodded triumphantly. "Thank you, Emily. You are the best sister in the world!""You only have one sister, Louis. It's only natural that I'm the best," Emily said, sarcastically.At that moment, Cayden entered the living room. He had just returned from dropping off the others. "Princess, are you done with your business?""Yeah. I can go to the hotel now," Emily replied as she got up from the couch.Summer quickly helped her up. "Thank you for your help, Auntie. Sorry for bothering you," she said sweetly."You're welcome, My Dear. Let's continue the preparations tomorrow morning. Get some rest tonight. You must be very tired.""Yes!" she nodded firmly. "Auntie too.
"See? Our daughter is indeed very smart. She has fair and mature thinking," Louis praised.Sky shook her head vaguely. She was still stunned. "Where did you hear about the deterrent effect?""I heard it on TV when we were sitting in the airport waiting room. From I also learned how to sue criminals there."Louis couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. Sitting next to his daughter, he put his arm around her little shoulders."You're right, Baby," Louis held her hand proudly. "The losses you suffered due to my negligence are so large. I have to pay for all of it. Never mind one billion. I think even ten billion is not enough."Summer stared at her father. "Is the amount I'm demanding not big enough?""Summer?" Sky reprimanded.However, Louis had already nodded. "I'll give you 10 billion."As Sky gaped in disbelief, Sum
Sky shook her head more firmly. "No, Honey. That doesn't sound healthy. Sweating is good. Doing a lot of things is also good.""You don't need to worry about your health, Sky. Even though you don't work, you can still sweat. I'll give you special time for that," Louis said while winking.Sky's head was pushed back. Her mouth stopped speaking. She couldn't believe that Louis had just teased her."Uncle Louis is right. Even though Mommy doesn't work, Mommy can still sweat through exercise. Let's do it together! I like exercising," Summer nodded, adorably. She didn't realize that her words had saved her mother from dirty thoughts."Oh," Sky blinked, "okay. But, forever is too much. How about ... until the wedding day? After that, Louis only needs to help me if I have trouble."Louis smiled faintly. "Okay, but I have the right to help you whenever I want.""Okay,
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
