Obviously, she did not take heed of his warning.
His narrow eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he squinted and raised his head, downing the entire
cup o f coffee at one go. His face darkened, as black as ink that could not be washed away.
The next morning
Summer went to the bathroom to freshen up. Not wanting to wake Charlotte up, she moved with light
steps.
But when she stepped back into the room, Charlotte had woken up and was sitting in bed, rubbing her
groggy eyes with her tiny hands.
When she went to bed at night, she liked to roll around in bed. So when she woke up the next morning,
the back of her hair would always point upward.
Summer reached to brush down her hair and coaxed her gently, "Charlotte, go sleep a little longer."
She did not plan to bring Charlotte along. But if she were to walk out when Charlotte was awake, she
would clamor to tag along. So she thought she had better coax her back to sleep.
"I don’t want to sleep anymore. I want to go out with you, Mommy." Charlotte was yawning big time as
she
rubbed her eyes again. Obviously, she had not gotten enough sleep. Yet she refused to sleep anymore.

Summer frowned and said, "I am not going out."
"You always say that a child who tells lies is not a good child. If Mommy tells lies, then Mommy is not a
good mom, and I won’t believe what Mommy said any more." She turned her back to Summer. Her hair
was still pointing upward. She sulked, looking adorable.
Summer had no choice but to take this sulking little person into her arms and apologized. "I was wrong.
I should not have lied to you. But I really have important things to do today. So could you stay with
Grandma today?"
"No, I want to go with you!" She raised her head, her eyes sparkling, looking aggrieved. "Please bring
me along, and I will behave and not ask you to carry me. I can walk on my own. Please take me out,
Mommy."
Charlotte’s tiny hands pulled on her sleeve, shaking it gently, as if she were a poor little pug.
Summer’s heart softened. Just as she was about to say something, the little one held onto her legs and
slid down, sitting on her feet while clinging to her legs like a little rascal.
Summer could not help but chortle. "Okay, okay, okay. Get dressed quickly, and then go wash your face
and brush your teeth."
Charlotte broke into a bright smile. She flew into her clothes, and then to the bathroom.
Standing in the room, she could hear Charlotte humming happily. "If you love me, hug me; if you love
me, kiss me..."
After they finished packing, Summer gave Daisy a heads-up and brought the happy bunny out of the
door.
At first, Summer did not want Charlotte to appear in front of any Valentines. But Charlotte was
extremely clingy today.
And Jazz was the only Valentine he trusted.
She called Jazz, telling him to meet her at Mcdonald’s. She bought Charlotte some nuggets and a cup
of orange juice, and sat there waiting for Jazz.
Meanwhile, in the Valentine mansion
Putting down the phone, Jazz walked into the bathroom with a brisk whistle. He first took a shower and
tried several clothes in front of the mirror for a long time before he chose a gray short-sleeve and a pair
of khaki pants. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
A bore with a bit of brisk, yet mature and staid look.
When he came downstairs, Maria was setting the table. Mark was sitting at the dining table, slouching i
