A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 323

She could have held her head high and told him in no uncertain terms that Charlotte was hers. He had given up Charlotte and should not want her back. But why could she not do that?

This was not her, not her temperament.

"This is normal, because you love Charlotte so much. Besides, Charlotte has become a part of your life, or even a part of you. You could not help thinking when sensing the slightest sign of danger, and what would happen to you if you lost her. So you will not tolerate anyone taking her away. As time goes by, it has formed a conditioned reflex. So when he appeared, your first reaction was not how to face him but thinking about hiding Charlotte so that he won't find out. Only in this way will you feel at ease." Daisy let out a sigh before she continued. "All mothers think alike. I can understand that you love Charlotte and care about her so much. That’s why you put yourself i n this situation, and even your sober sanity is now affected."

Upon hearing that, Summer started to think clearly, as if a lost child found its way home.

"So be yourself, and face the problem head-on. Don’t b e afraid and don't think too much. Besides, you have m

e and your dad." “Mom, thank you." Summer leaned over to hug her.

"Now, go to bed. Charlotte might wake up in a while if without you.”

"Okay, I'm going to bed now. You go to bed earlier, too. Good night."

Lying on the bed and thinking about what her mom said over and over in her mind, Summer knew that what her mom said made complete sense.

She had told of all her worries, her trying to hide, and her panic of the past two days.

The truth would out one way or another; she could not hide it forever.

If she wanted to keep Charlotte by her side, she had to face the challenge head-on, unlike what she had done for the past two days.
