Chapter 301
A middle-aged woman sitting next to them looked at Summer with a smile. "Your daughter?"
"Yeah, she is a bit naughty." Summer handed a few oranges in the bag to the middle-aged woman.
"She looks well-behaved. And she is beautiful and adorable. That is how children are. They like to ask
questions, and it is quite fun."
With her child tagging along, Summer had no plans to sleep on the train. So she chatted with the
middle-aged woman while taking care of her child.
It was a four-hour journey by high-speed train from Nokocola Bay to Santabaca. By the time they
arrived i n Santabaca, it was 7:00 pm.
But the day was long in summer. The sky was still bright even if it was 7:00 pm. She flagged down a
taxi and brought Charlotte into the backseat.
Knowing that Summer and her granddaughter were coming back, Daisy asked Solomon to accompany
her t o buy more vegetables and fruits from the supermarket.
Daisy and Solomon had been expecting them in the living room by the time Summer and Charlotte
opened
the door and came in. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
As soon as Daisy saw Charlotte, she stepped forward and held the child in her arms. "I missed you so
much, sweetheart.”
"I missed you so much, too." Charlotte was innocent. She imitated how the adult spoke, causing Daisy
to laugh with amusement.
Same thing with Solomon, who grinned from ear to ear as he took Charlotte from Daisy. "Do you miss
Grandpa?"
"Yes.” Charlotte's voice was loud and clear.
But Solomon teased her. "I cannot hear you. Can you speak louder?"
"Yes!" Charlotte spoke even louder.
"I still cannot hear it."
"Yes!" she was almost shouting.
Daisy could not bear to see what was happening and smacked Solomon snappishly. "That is not the
way to talk to a kid. Look, Charlotte’s face has turned red. It's okay, Charlotte, I will bring you yogurt.
Summer had gotten used to the way her parents spoiled Charlotte. They had been doing this from day
one.
She could not have any differing opinions and speak about it when it came to Charlotte. As soon as
she did that, they would be united against her.
She went into the bathroom to freshen up. When she r e-emerged, she heard Daisy on the phone with
Forrest.
Frowning, Summer walked over in surprise. "Mom, is Forrest back?”
Daisy let out a helpless sigh. "He has been back for a while.”
"Doesn't he need to work?"
"Work? He has been dismissed." Daisy was boiling with anger when she spoke of this.
"Why was he dismissed? Wasn't he a civil servant?"
"He was always being late, going off early, and not performing. A new supervisor has just been
transferred over. A new broom sweeps clean. He made an example out of Forrest."
Summer knew everything then, and said not a word about it. When Forrest and Amara came home, the
dinner began.
At first, she refrained from saying anything. But she could not help herself. "Forrest, why can't you be
more serious in your work? There is not only Amara and I, but also a child to raise. How can you
support him?"
Forrest was chewing on his roasted chicken when Summer spoke. He looked a little unhappy. "I am
having my dinner right now. Can you not spoil my appetite?”
