A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 313

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. 1

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?"
