Chapter 34
Looking at her daughter, Daisy thought of something important, "What about the wedding? Are you not
having one?"
"The doctor said the first trimesters are the most crucial. So, to prevent anything from happening to the
baby, we've decided to have it after he's born."
Feeling bold, Summer pulled Daisy into a big hug and snuggled, "Mom, don't be mad at me anymore,
okay?"
Daisy held and patted her daughter’s hand, "My daughter's all grown up now," she sighed, "I took care
o f you ever since you were a small baby, and you've always told me everything. Getting married is one
of the most important events in one's life and you hid it from me! Don’t I deserve to be angry?"
"Yes, mom, of course you do. Why don't you give me a few smacks as punishment to cheer up?"
Just as she did when she was a child, she giggled and turned around. With her back facing her mom,
she arched up her lower back.
Seeing her do so, Daisy laughed and held her hand," Since you have already decided to do so, I won't
overstep any further. I am fine with anything as long a s you are doing good."
Summer's eyes watered and she pulled her mom in a tight embrace, "Thanks, mom."
She knew that her parents were the only ones in the world who would love her so greatly and selflessly. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
After chatting for a moment, they went out of the room and saw Mark and Solomon playing chess.
Summer felt that it was a weird sight to see and shifted her eyes away. Daisy felt so too.
The couple left after everyone had lunch together.
Daisy stood by the window and watched until the black and luxurious looking car drove away.
Meanwhile, Solomon was carefully cradling a bottle of wine in his arms, "What a wonderful surprise!
This is the Cabernet Sauvignon from the Screaming Eagle! It costs a fortune!”
Daisy turned around and glared at him, "So what if he gave us expensive wine?!”
Smiling, he passed her the other gift box, "Here, this beautiful cashmere cardigan is for you. Try it on."
"Aren't you worried of your daughter at all? That man i s from that powerful Valentine family. Will our
little girl be alright over there?"
"From the looks of it, Mr. Valentine looked well-mannered and was quite humble as well. His family
must have taught him well. I'm sure they would treat Summer fairly as well."
Solomon's focus went back to the precious wine he received, "Let me go get some wine glasses for us
to
try this baby."
In the car.
Seated in the passenger seat, Summer blankly stared outside the window while her thoughts were
somewhere else.
Even though she has managed to cover up the real truth with a white lie, she did not feel entirely
relieved. There was still something bugging her.
A familiar tune rang from the phone. Mark picked it u p, and his usual stoic expression shifted slightly
after the short call.
Immediately, he stepped on the brake and made a turn to the other direction.
Noticing the change of his expressions, she curiously asked, "Where are we heading to?"
"Valentine mansion," was all he told her.
Surprised, she instantly sat up straight, "Didn't you say we were only visiting tomorrow? I haven't even
prepared any gifts."
"There’s an emergency," he said as he massaged his temples to relieve the headache that was
forming," Just let Billy get what you need."
Located on the hillside, the Valentine mansion is surrounded by greenery and an abundance of nature.
The air was fresh and the scenery was simply breathtaking.
However, only those with wealth and power can afford to stay in an area like that.
