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.
A deep chuckle overflowed from his throat. Mark’s chest trembled, but he coaxed her in a soft voice. "I will behave this time.”
She quirked a brow. "Do you think I will believe you again?"
"You don't believe that I will tease you, or you have no confidence in yourself and will get aroused, huh?"
"Mark!" She blushed and felt annoyed. A cracked bell can never sound well; he just could not get serious every time he spoke.
"All right, I will stop teasing you.” The corner of his lips upturned. "Trust me, I will behave."
Charlotte was still chewing something in her mouth i n her sleep. Summer glanced over at her and then looked back out of the window. "No, Charlotte is sleeping with me tonight."
"She was born to check on me. She would pour a bucket of water in my driest time. If this continues, you will miss the best part of your sexual life."
