When Lily saw them hugging so intimately against each other, a look of displeasure plastered on her face as she glared at Summer.
Stomping towards them in her three inched heels, she squeezed in between them and forced Summer aside.
"Mark, I peeled and prepared these fruits for you. Auntie said you came back, so I brought this up to you.”
"When did you arrive in Santabaca?"
Mark replied after eyeing Summer inquisitively, who was beside him.
Lily beamed at him happily as she asked him, "I just arrived today. If you have time tomorrow, could you bring me around Santabaca?"
"I can't. I'll be busy."
As he uttered his reply, he sat on the couch cross-legged and drank some water. Seemingly annoyed, faint furrows appeared in Mark's brows.
'It's like I'm not even here.'
Summer grunted to herself as she just stood aside, leaning against the wall. 'Why am I here anyway? This is so annoying,' she thought.
"You're such a bully! I hardly ever visit Santabaca, yet you wouldn't even spend a few hours with me! I'm telling grandpa on you!”
Looking serious with her words, Lily whined as she knew Mark would only listen to grandpa Gordon.
The reason why Lily could be so bold and forward was that her grandpa and grandpa Gordon had served in the army together, and they were close friends.
She had also heard that her grandpa had saved grandpa Gordon's life back in the days. This was also why grandpa Gordon doted on Lily so much ever since she was a child.
As if he was her Genie, he would grant all of her wishes to keep her happy, and she knew he would back her up for anything.
With eyes reflecting annoyance, his gaze shifted and landed on Summer, who was listening to their 'drama'. Holding the glass filled water to his lips, he said," Summer can go with you then.”
