A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 399

He did not want her to feel guilty. Besides, he already took Charlotte as his own daughter. It was only justifiable for a father to save his daughter.

"I understand, but if it wasn't for Charlotte, I would still take care of you. You were already her daddy in her heart."

Summer talked slowly as she wanted to utter every word clearly.

Her words definitely moved him and made his heart flutter, but he still rejected her. "Summer, you should just bring Charlotte back. I will be fine in Santabaca; I'm working here too."

"You're not recovering anytime soon. What do you mean 'work?'" Summer furrowed her brows. 'Dean can really be kind of stubborn!'

"I can't do anything that requires me to use my legs, but I'll still be able to work on the cases."

Summer did not want to talk about this with him further as she changed the subject and said, "You really don't understand me. The decisions I’ve made have no space for changes."

This time, the clueless Charlotte also tilted her head upward. Her mouth was still filled with apples as she

spoke blurrily, "Don't you want to leave with me and mommy, Uncle Dean?"

"That's not it." Dean looked at her lovingly.

"Then is it because I caused your legs to be like this? I s that why you don't like me anymore?" Charlotte blinked her small eyes, and her face looked serious.

"How could I dislike you? You think too much." Dean reached out and pinched her short nose.

Charlotte's eyes watered as she pouted, looking as if she was about to cry. "You're lying. You definitely hate me already!"
