"I’ve raised you since you were a baby, now you’ve grown up to be so beautiful, nobody can take you away from me. Now tell me, what did you hear from someone else?"
Summer shook her head and said casually, "No, I just heard some gossip, so I tried to get some reaction from you, but I didn't expect you to confess so easily."
"You silly girl! I didn’t tell you because I didn't want you to have any bad feelings. I raised you since you were just a baby; you are my own daughter, and if anyone says anything else, just ignore it."
They sat on the sofa and talked for a long time before saying good night to each other and going to bed.
Summer was lying in bed. Her mind was in such a whirl that it could no longer function properly. It was only one day, but she felt her life had turned 180 degrees.
Samantha was her biological mother, yet she was sleeping with Ronald!
But Summer did not even want to acknowledge Samantha as her biological mother. Her life was good and peaceful now. She did not want her quiet life to be disturbed again.
Before she knew this, Samantha was nothing more than a stranger to her. After she knew this, Samantha was a stranger with a blood relationship. No matter what, she was still just a stranger.
The night grew darker and darker, and her troubled thoughts were slowly calming down...
Mark was on a business trip to Athana these two days, and he had told Summer in advance. He called Summer as soon as she got up in the morning, at about six o’clock. She said a few words, and then handed the phone to Charlotte. They talked for half an hour. She wondered what the father and daughter were talking about.
Summer took Charlotte to kindergarten, and then she went to work. When it was lunch time, Ronald was waiting for her in the principal's office, and without thinking, she knew why he was there.
