A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 322

"Did you rush back to Nokocola Bay like this usually? I s it because of his return that you have to go in such a hurry?"

Summer had always been confiding in Daisy. This time was no different. "Yeah.”

"You have been divorced for four years. Why are you still avoiding him like a plague?" Daisy was a little puzzled at first. But then she seemed to think of something and guessed the reason out right. "Is it because of Charlotte?"

"Yeah." Summer nodded, holding a glass of water and sipping on it.

Daisy knew it.

Summer could be better than this, Daisy thought, raising her hand and poked Summer on the forehead.

"Don't be silly. You don't have to do this because of Charlotte. You married him because you wanted the child, and this was something he promised you. Now that you two have divorced, Charlotte should rightly belong to you."

Her daughter had always been smart. But how could she be so confused about her own affair this time?

Gently kneading her forehead with her hand, Summer

slowly said, "Mom, I wish things could be this simple." "Then tell me why it is not simple."

"Like you said, I married him because of the child—it was a marriage of convenience. But you have got to understand that there was only an oral agreement between us. The marriage was done according to normal procedures. If he wants to fight for the child's custody in court, I could do nothing to stop him."

Daisy fell into silence, as she knew Summer had a point.
