Chapter 323


    She could have held her head high and told him in no uncertain terms that Charlotte was hers. He had


    given up Charlotte and should not want her back. But why could she not do that?


    This was not her, not her temperament.


    "This is normal, because you love Charlotte so much. Besides, Charlotte has be a part of your


    life, or even a part of you. You could not help thinking when sensing the slightest sign of danger, and


    what would happen to you if you lost her. So you will not tolerate anyone taking her away. As time goes


    by, it has formed a conditioned reflex. So when he appeared, your first reaction was not how to face


    him but thinking about hiding Charlotte so that he won''t find out. Only in this way will you feel at ease."


    Daisy let out a sigh before she continued. "All mothers think alike. I can understand that you love


    Charlotte and care about her so much. That’s why you put yourself i n this situation, and even your


    sober sanity is now affected."


    Upon hearing that, Summer started to think clearly, as if a lost child found its way home.

    "Now, go to bed. Charlotte might wake up in a while if without you.”


    "Okay, I''m going to bed now. You go to bed earlier, too. Good night."

    expression revealing nothing of his emotions.


    There was a knock on the door. "Come in," he said without looking up.


    Harry, Mark’s assistant, walked in. "Are you looking for me, Mr. Valentine?"


    Mark dug into his pants pocket and fished out a few strands of hair. Wrapping the hair in an expensive

    Harry took it in his hand. While he was still puzzled, Mark plucked a few of his own hair and handed


    them t o him, too. "Do a paternity test," he ordered sinctly.


    ''Paternity test?’ Harry froze for a while, wondering since when did thepany president have a child.


    But when he thought of Summer, the innocently beautiful teacher, he understood everything.
