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.
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.
