"Thanks," said Mark, taking over the gift boxes.
She stared at him in astonishment. Never did she expect for him to be so mindful of her parents; she
couldn’t help but feel moved.
When the couple walked in, Daisy and Solomon were setting up the table. They were stunned to see a
gorgeous looking man dressed in a dark cashmere coat next to their daughter.
Solomon was the first to break the silence, "Summer, introduce your friend to us."
Feeling nervous, she bit down on her lip thinking of the most appropriate way to explain.
Mark stepped forward to stand close to her and snaked his arm around her. Surprised by his actions,
she lifted her head to meet his eyes.
However, he was looking ahead at her parents. He gave a small smile and greeted them.
Upon seeing the intimate gesture, Daisy and Solomon knew something was up. Both of them looked at
each other and thought of the same thing, 'Since when did Summer start dating?"
Solomon winked and signalled Daisy to say something. Putting down the cutleries and plates and
wanting to confirm the obvious, "I assume you’re Summer's boyfriend?"
"Actually, Mrs- Mom, Summer and I have already been wedded, and she is one month pregnant now,"
Mark stated in a polite yet graceful manner portraying his grace and charm.
Summer, on the other hand, was freaking out especially when he announced her pregnancy. It was
truly nerve-wrecking for her, and she felt herself stiffening up more by the minute.
'Married and pregnant?!’ Gaping at them, Solomon stood there aghast.
Daisy too, did not take the news well. She felt faint and had to lean against the table for support.
Feeling out of breath, she asked weakly, “Tell me! Is what he said true?"
She couldn't believe the little girl who she watched and took care of, her baby girl who never even had
a boyfriend, was now married and even pregnant!
'What mother am I when I don't even know what happened to my daughter?' she thought.
Summer knew that she had to face them now, there was no turning back now.
Gritting her teeth, she gave up trying to think of an excuse; she nodded, "Yes mom, what he said is the
truth." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Furious, Daisy hit her chest with her fist. "What is going on! Explain everything to me now!" she yelled,
pointing at her daughter.
Mark furrowed his brows. Just as he wanted to speak, he felt something soft and smooth to the touch
against his palm.
It was Summer clasping their hands together.
His large, coarse and warm hand in her pale, soft and cold one.
He raised his brows at her actions then narrowed his eyes and watched her curiously. His alluring gaze
carried hints of interest.
Without sparing him a glance, Summer took a few steps forward and looked right at her mom.
She put on a serious and stern look, and said, "Mom, everyone is bound to do something crazy in their
lives. It could be for something or someone, or for anything really. And all my life, I have listened and
obeyed everything you told me, but this is the only time that I am acting out, and I do not regret it one
bit!"
Daisy was shocked to hear her daughter's outburst but somehow; she did not feel agitated. Calmly, she
looked at her daughter and asked, "Do you know what you’re saying right now?"
"I do!" answered Summer sternly.
"Come with me," was all Daisy said to her daughter as she walked towards the room.
In the room.
Appearing calm, Daisy sat on the couch and asked," Have you met his parents yet?"
"Yes, I have," Summer lied. Quietly observing her mom's expressions, she felt more at ease when she
realized her mom seemed to have calmed down.
"Why didn't you let mom and dad know when you got married?"
She choked and coughed out a bit before answering in a sweet and gentle manner, "I was worried you
wouldn’t allow it."
