Summer closed the door and then pinched her little nose. "You have all your attention on that TV now, eh? Let's go home now. Or else, Grandma will be worried."
"Mommy, Daddy said I am a timely rain. Whenever he was in a drought, I would always come and pour him a bucket of water. What is timely rain and drought, Mommy?" Charlotte's two round eyes blinked and her two braids swung.
Summer could not help but gritted her teeth. What the hell did Mark say to the child? She brazened it out and gave a perfunctory explanation.
After just making two paces, Summer got a call from Sherman, telling her that there was a teacher vacancy in the Sunnyside High School, and asked her if she was interested.
Summer thought for a moment, and then agreed to check it out at the high school the next day.
The two chatted for a few moments before hanging up.
It was nightfall when Summer reached home. Daisy was washing Charlotte's clothes when she heard sounds. She looked up. "Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
Summer pinned the dangling hair behind her ears."
Taking Charlotte to stroll around Santabaca."
Charlotte had gone away to drink water, so no one was exposing her. Daisy did not ask further, and continued to wash the clothes.
After watching the TV with Daisy and Solomon for a while, Summer carried Charlotte back to the room. Charlotte rolled to one side in bed, hugging a rag doll i n her hands, and fell asleep.
Summer was cleaning up the room when her cell phone vibrated. She took a look at the screen and the corners of her mouth rose spontaneously, her voice softening like wet wool. "Where are you now?"
"Take a guess.” The man's voice was deep, but gentle.
"Don't tell me you are downstairs at my apartment again." She chuckled, taking a wild guess.
