Sky shook her head with a bitter smile. "Making Summer happy is not your job. The fact that you're willing to take care of her is more than enough. I'm so grateful. I actually feel guilty because she caused so much trouble that bothered you."

"You know what? I did feel annoyed at first. She's very active and noisy. But now that I think about it, I think we're even. It's not just me who's annoyed. Summer's too. I've let her down several times."

"Because of her impossible demands for you to fulfill?" Sky forced a laugh, but it failed to cover her sadness.

"Yeah," Louis twitched his eyebrows. "He asked me to marry you. Don't you think it's impossible? We're just old friends who haven't contacted each other for years."

Louis frowned at the end. There seemed to be hesitation in his sentence. However, he knew very well that he had another heart to guard now. He needed to clarify the boundaries of his relationship with Sky.

Meanwhile, Sky almost choked with pain. Her eyes blinked un

    Sky hid her face with the ice pack again. "No, Louis. You don't have to go that far. Summer and I have troubled you so much. If you really want to help, just open the door. I think Summer has calmed down now. She and I can talk without raising our voices." Louis took a deep breath. Taking out his phone, he muttered, "You never change, hmm? Why is it so hard for you to accept someone else's help?" "Isn't Emily the same?" Sky shrugged. "You're much worse," Louis said without hesitation. Then, with a click on his phone, the guest room door was unlocked. "Thank you, Louis. I'll go see Summer," Sky put down the ice pack, and got up from the sofa. She didn't want to sit by Louis' side for long. Her secret could be threatened, and the wound in her heart could be torn wider. Louis just nodded. He also didn't want to discuss anything else. For him, everything was clear. Sky was still haunted by Summer's father, while he had anchored himself to Grace. The conclusion was valid a

    Summer changed position to lie on her side like Sky. Her hands were tucked under her chin."After two days with Uncle Louis, I realized. It would be so much fun if I had a daddy. I could play with him, chat, and have fun. I would be like other children," she revealed what had been buried in her heart.Hearing that confession, Sky's heart ached. The tightness that she had been afraid of finally appeared."Honey, why did you say that? Even though you don't have a daddy, you have a mommy. You also have grandparents who love you very much. You are just like other children," Sky explained in a thin voice. Her hand rubbed Summer's little shoulder."No, Mommy. I'm different. When I was at the amusement park with Uncle Louis, I saw it."Suddenly, Summer's gaze drifted away. Her blinking slowed down."Other children and their parents wore similar clothes, but I didn't. I actually bought couple's clothes for Uncle Louis and me, but he didn't want to wear them. We could only take pictures in the

    "Summer, you didn't listen either. You kept forcing Louis to accompany you, even though he was busy. You shouldn't bother him like that. That's why you have to go home with me now," Sky said firmly, even though her eyes were teary. Her breath was short, having difficulty suppressing the emotions raging in her chest."No, Mommy. If you want to go home, do it by yourself. I'll only go home if Uncle Louis takes me," Summer put her hands on her hips. Her shoulders also rose and fell to match the rhythm of her lungs.Seeing Summer's determination, Sky didn't know what else to do. She grabbed her wrist, her eyes narrowed."Summer Hills, I don't want to hear any more excuses from you. Like it or not, you have to go home with me. You've caused enough trouble here."Before her mother could drag her away, Summer began to struggle. "This isn't fair, Mommy. I want to be like other kids. I want a daddy too! Please don't separate me from Uncle Louis.""Summer, please! Don't be a naughty kid!" Sky wa

    "How long are you going to stay here, Summer?" Sky asked, awkwardly. "Louis has more important things to do. There's no way he'll take care of you all day long."The toddler pouted again. "Mommy, I'm an independent child. I can take care of myself. If you don't believe me, just ask Uncle Louis. Since I arrived here, I've done everything by myself. Washing my face, brushing my teeth, changing clothes. I even prepared my own dinner when I first got here."A second later, Summer straightened her neck. After taking a deep breath, she continued, "Uncle Louis doesn't need to bother taking care of me. He just needs to let me accompany him to work. After his work is done, we can go out to play. That'll be fun."Sky sighed tiredly. She felt that Summer wouldn't listen to her. The only way was to ask for Louis' help. Maybe only he could conquer the toddler."Louis, do you mind if Summer keeps sticking to you?" Sky whispered while playing with her eyebrows. She hoped Louis would understand the co

    "Thank you, Uncle Louis. You are so wise! I promise I won't be naughty. I will be a good child as long as we are together!" Summer said lightly."Not only when we are together, Little Human, but forever. Keep being a good child, so your mother doesn't get a headache."Summer chuckled. "Okay, I'll try, but I can't promise. Mommy is sometimes annoying."Beside them, Sky was stunned with her mouth slightly open. A sigh of disbelief escaped her. Not because of Summer's teasing, but because of Louis' decision."Louis," she moved closer to him, "you don't have to grant her wishes. Don't be influenced by her whining. It's just a trick. You don't have to sacrifice your time and energy for her."Summer immediately glanced at Sky with a cynical look. She didn't expect her mother to reveal her charade."Mommy, do you want me to cry again?" she threatened, too sweetly. She didn't look scary at all.Before they could fight again, Louis quickly said, "It's okay, Sky. I don't mind. Just think of it a

    Sky and Summer stopped talking. They turned to the man beside them."Louis, Summer is still too short. Do you want to stack books on the seat so she can see the road? Then how will she step on the pedals? Do you want to equip her with a broomstick or mop?"Louis laughed at Sky's words. "No, Summer won't practice using a regular car. We can buy a mini jeep.""A mini jeep?" Summer's eyes were round like a doll's. "Isn't that very expensive, Uncle Louis? I don't think I have enough savings to buy one," she sounded worried."You don't have to pay for it, Little Human. It will be a gift from me," Louis said sincerely."Really?" Summer's voice peaked. Both of her hands clenched happily. "You will buy it for me?""Louis, you don't have to do that. You have sacrificed your time and energy for Summer, not money either," Sky whispered, embarrassed."Mommy, other people's kindness should be appreciated. Uncle Louis might be offended if we refused his gift. So, let's just accept it!"While Sky was

    Louis snorted thinly. "You said that only applied if the one feeding was someone we loved? Your mother doesn't love me, Summer," Louis said thinly. He was afraid that his disappointment would come out if his voice was normal. Even though he had tried to forget it, he couldn't deny that it still remained."Mommy loves you, Uncle. Don't you realize it yet? Her eyes sparkle every time she talks about you."Sky's body froze. She didn't expect her daughter to say that."Honey, please don't make things up. I know you want Louis to be your father, but you shouldn't make up stories like that," she whispered even though they were sitting across from each other."I'm not making it up, Mommy. Isn't that the truth? Mommy even put up a poster of Uncle Louis in the bedroom. Every night, Mommy always looks at him."Sky was flabbergasted. The awkwardness was too thick in her lungs. Moreover, Louis' gaze was now full of questions about her. While forcing a laugh, she shook her head in denial."Honey, y

    "Why do you think Summer needs to be pitied?" Sky sighed softly. She was worried that her voice had turned hoarse. Emily could read the truth right away. "Has my daughter seemed unhappy all this time?""That's not it, Sky. Even though Summer is a cheerful, independent, and spirited child, deep down, she must miss her father."Sky swallowed bitterly. "How do you know?""Trust me. I've been there before. Louis too. Therefore, Louis will understand if you tell the truth," Emily nodded, reassuringly.Sky blinked hesitantly. She wasn't sure whether she should accept Emily's idea or keep her secret.Meanwhile, Emily understood the meaning of her best friend's expression. Feeling sorry, she lowered her voice. "Sky, calm down. Louis will definitely take responsibility. He won't let the girl he loves and his own flesh and blood suffer.""Me? The girl he loves?" Sky shook her head vaguely. "Please don't make things up, Emily. He doesn't love me. Only Grace Evans is in his heart.""Do you dare to

    "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

    "Please give me a chance to be with you. Just once, that's enough. I can prove that I'm sincerer. My love is bigger than his," Draco said, pleadingly.Sky stepped back, pushing away the hand that was holding her arm. "You don't need to prove anything, Drac. I'm happy with Louis. If you're sincere with me, please don't bother us. You said you wanted me to be happy, right?""But not like this," Draco approached, but Sky kept her distance. "I'm not happy if you fall into his arms. He's no better than me. It's not fair if he's the one with you."Sky shook her head again. Her mouth muttered, "You're crazy, Drac. There are still many great women out there. Why are you targeting me? I am married and have a child!""Because all this time, you're the only one in my heart. You're the only one who can disturb my mind. What can I do to get you?" Draco looked desperate.Sky snorted in displeasure. "I think you've misunderstood, Drac. Your feelings are not sincere towards me. It's not love, but obs

    Unfortunately, Louis didn't answer. His consciousness was too thin.Sky carefully put his head on the table. Without making a scene, she went to look for security. It took a while, but when she returned, Louis was no longer at the table."Where is your husband, Ma'am?" the security officer asked.Sky gaped in surprise. Her hand pointed towards the table. "He was still here earlier."The security officers who were with her looked around. "Maybe he had moved somewhere else?" one of them mumbled."That's impossible. He was unconscious," Sky hissed, panicking. A bad feeling began to cover her heart. She remembered Louis' words earlier.Could it be that a bad guy was playing a trick? But they didn't drink the champagne that Draco ordered.Or, were Draco and Angelica not the ones they needed to be wary of? The real criminal put drugs in the new champagne? But, why was only Louis affected while Sky was fine?"Sir, please help me find Louis. He couldn't have gone anywhere on his own. Someone

    "Oh my gosh!" Angelica gasped while covering her mouth. She looked shocked, but inside, she was laughing at Sky's wet dress. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Harper. I didn't mean to."Sky smiled wryly. She didn't say anything, just wiping her dress with a napkin.Meanwhile, Louis got up from the chair. He approached Sky, asking about her condition. Sky was finally able to smile with sincerity."I'm fine, Louis. Just a little wet. It's no big deal," Sky said softly."Are you sure? Do you want me to accompany you to clean your dress?" Louis offered, pointing towards the bathroom.Sky shook her head. "No need, Louis. It's already soaked. There's no point in cleaning it up. Let's just sit back and enjoy our dinner. We can't let anyone ruin our moment, can we?"Louis looked at his wife with pity. It was supposed to be their perfect night. How could he let his guard down and give someone a chance to ruin it?"Waiter!" Louis' voice echoed. His hand was raised to call the nearest waiter. "Please take this w
