Suddenly, some popcorn popped out from behind the pan lid again. "River, they fell again!"River bent down again. Before he could reach the popcorns, Brandon had already picked them up and shoved them into his mouth.River and Brandon finally competed to collect popcorn on the grass to attack each other. The others laughed at their sweet fight.That's when Summer ran with a grip full of popcorn. She put what she was carrying into Briony's mouth. When her aunt got hot, she looked for another target. People immediately ran away, except Emily.For a few moments, they all chased each other. The atmosphere felt more exciting and lively. Moreover, they participated in the game prepared by Summer after that.True to her name, the toddler always brought warmth to everyone. Even when it was time to sleep, she still made the atmosphere feel pleasant.Because they were
"Are they still sleeping? Why is it so quiet?" Emily whispered to Cayden."Shall we check their tent?" Cayden offered his arm to his beloved wife.Emily smiled sweetly. Holding her husband's arm, she walked to the nearest tent. When she saw who was inside, she was stunned.Summer was hugging River tightly. Maybe she thought it was Toby. She forgot that her favorite plushie was assigned to guard her room while she was camping."Gosh, Cay .... Aren't they so cute?" Emily whispered with sparkling eyes."Yeah, they look like a pair of caterpillars in a cocoon."Suddenly, Emily patted her husband's chest. "Where's your phone? Quickly take a picture of them! Louis and Sky need to see what their daughter is doing.""What did Summer do? She just slept with her friend," Cayden muttered as he did what his wife ordered."Summer is repeating what Sky did with Louis back then. They will definitely be nostalgic when they see this adorable photo," Emily whispered while observing Cayden's snap. Her h
Summer chuckled sweetly. "Yes, Daddy. The four of us fell asleep in one tent. But unfortunately, I woke up in the middle of the night. Uncle Brandon used my sleeping bag as a pillow. I couldn't sleep well without it. Luckily, River was kind enough to lend me his sleeping bag. That's why River and I moved to the next tent.""So it's true that you and River slept together?"Summer nodded innocently. "Yes, Daddy. Just like Uncle Brandon and Aunt Briony. They also slept together," she answered innocently."Your aunt slept together with Brandon?" Sky blurted out.Summer nodded. "Yes. Uncle and Auntie slept together.""But nothing happened," Briony interrupted loudly. Summer blinked. "We just slept. We closed our eyes and fell asleep. That's all."Summer looked at Briony with furrowed brows. "What's wrong, Auntie? Why are you so panicked? Did I say something wrong?
"Regardless of how old he is, River is right," Briony said, drawing attention. "Such women are indeed disturbing, and they are everywhere. My parents were disturbed by them, even when they were on their honeymoon."Louis' eyes narrowed. His head nodded. "I remember that story. Uncle Philip and Aunt Barbara often told me and Emily about it. It was like a reminder for them to be more careful. And actually, my father and mother also had similar experiences.""Are you wary of that kind of woman now?" Sky raised an eyebrow.Louis nodded. "Yes, it's good for us to be careful. But you don't need to worry, Sky. I won't let any woman come close to me. You just enjoy our honeymoon without feeling threatened."Before Sky could answer, Summer said, "Daddy is right! Just enjoy your honeymoon, Mommy. Ignore that woman. If she comes to Daddy, just chase her away. If she still dares to get close, report it to me."Seeing how Summer put on a scary look on her cute face, Sky and Louis laughed in amusem
"She tried to get close to Daddy!" Summer finally revealed the truth. She told Orion about the video call this morning. Orion listened intently."So, you just saw her this morning through a video call? You didn't know who she was, or even her name?" Orion concluded, pointing at the phone in Summer's hand.When the kids nodded, Orion furrowed his eyebrows. "Then how did you find her social media? Didn't you have any information about her?""We have a picture of her face!"Summer swiped the screen. Seeing the picture of the woman at the harbor, Orion's eyes widened. "Did you screenshot the video call from your parents?"Summer nodded. "Yes, I needed to find out who she was," she tapped the screen."We did a face search on the internet. In just a few moments, we managed to find her social media accounts!" River added, completing the report.
A few moments ago, Louis and Sky had got on the ship. They immediately walked towards their cabin. Along the way, Sky kept chattering about everything she saw. Louis listened happily. He felt like they were going back to their childhood."Louis, look! Those are our suitcases!" Laughing, Sky quickened her pace.Since his hand was in her grasp, Louis followed with a smile."Finally, we're here. I can't wait to see our room. Should we record this moment? Summer would be happy to see it too," Sky said with sparkling eyes.Louis always loved to see them. He smiled more sweetly. "Sky, how about we just enjoy the moment to the fullest? Forget about other people. Just focus on us.""But Summer is our daughter," Sky added with high-arched eyebrows. The confusion on her face made Louis laugh.Her head shaking did not change at all. She was still like a cheerful 4-year-old girl with amusing expressions and gestures."Do you remember what Summer told us?" Louis asked in a low tone. "Just focus on
"What did you prepare in the bathroom? Duck floats and water guns? Do you want to repeat our childhood fun?" Sky teased.Louis snorted in amusement. "Unfortunately not. We're on honeymoon. I prepared something more romantic.""Not candles and scattered rose petals, right?" Sky joked, making Louis shake his head in amusement."How about you check the answer yourself?" Louis led Sky to a door."Am I wrong? If not flower petals, then what? Is it—"Suddenly, a phone rang again. Louis immediately took a deep breath. Sky took her phone while chuckling."Sorry, Louis. I didn't want to break our agreement, but I had to pick up the phone. It might be important," Sky said as she checked the call. "Oh, it's my father. Hello, Papa."Sky chatted with her father for a while. She occasionally glanced at Louis. Her husband's expression tickled her
"Did you forget? We're heading to the South Pole. There are no time zones there. Ghosts can show their presence at any time," Draco said, not looking like he was joking at all.Angelica sighed tiredly. "Can you just focus on our mission?""I'm focused.""What's the proof?" Angelica asked in a challenging tone.Draco thought for a moment. "I've made a plan to approach Sky. Tonight, she and I will be in the same bed.""What's your plan?"A lopsided smile appeared on Draco's sly face. "I'll let you know if you're willing to accompany me in bed."Angelica snorted in disgust. "You think my price is that low? My target is Louis Harper. If I can get a big prize, why would I be aiming for crumbs?""You talk as if you're sure to get him," Draco muttered.Angelica didn't like his tone. "You'll regret underestimating me. This charm of mine," she flipped her hair, "no one can resist it."Draco snorted in amusement. "Please don't be too confident. You'll get depressed if your mission fails.""You'
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
