Chapter 356


    She could neverpete with him for custody.


    Yvette was still sitting in the living room, as she still had some questions to ask Mark.


    Mark had changed into a clean set of clothes and came out. He took a sip of water. "What are you


    doing here?"


    "Your grandma is worried about you. She wants to make sure I buy you some supplements. By the


    way, who is that child?” She pretended she did not know.


    Unconsciously, his voice became deep and soft: "She i s my daughter.” His voice spontaneously


    became gentle.


    "With Summer?" she asked knowingly.


    Mark nodded, sat down on the settee, and folded his legs in a graceful fashion.


    "She didn’t demand things such as money from you? She was sanctimonious." Again, she tried to


    sound him out.


    Her words caught Mark’s attention. "What did you hide from me four years ago? What do you mean by


    saying she was sanctimonious?" 1 "Four years ago, when you took Baine abroad and gave


    me a nk check to pass to Summer, she sanctimoniously refused it. I tore up the check afterward."


    Mark sat up straight on the settee. "Why didn’t you tell me this until now?"


    "She refused to ept the check, no matter how hard I tried to convince her. Besides, you were in


    Athana, and I had forgotten about it as time went by."


    His eyes were as deep as a whirlpool, his lips pressed into a straight line, and his expression did not


    look good.


    He had been thinking that Yvette had given Summer the check, not knowing that that was not the case.


    Summer raised the child for four years without using a single cent from him. He did not like this feeling


    at all.


    Just then, Charlotte was awake. She walked out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes with both hands.


    Coming u p to Mark, she looked at him with a confused expression. "Where is Mommy, Mark?"


    "She is back at the hotel and wille over to see you tomorrow." His expression and voice softened


    as he lifted her onto hisp. "Say hi to Granny..."


    Charlotte, who buried her cheeks in his chest and was half awake, looked up obligingly at Yvette. "Hi,


    Granny."


    After spending a day with Mark, Charlotte started to view him in a different light. She gradually believed


    in him, trusted him, and became close to him.


    Yvette did not want to be seen as mean toward Charlotte in front of Mark. Besides, she did not hate


    Charlotte as much as she hated Summer. "You’re so sweet. Maria, bring some candies."


    Charlotte''s eyes lit up when Maria handed the candies over. But Mark stopped her. "No more candies


    from now on."


    "Why?" she resisted.


    "Do you want the bacteria to chew off all your teeth?-Maria, get a few bunches of grapes and wash


    them."


    Mark''s feelings for the child surprised Yvette. It was much deeper than she had imagined. He was very


    protective of her.


    She frowned and decided to talk about it openly. " Mark, do you want it or not?"


    She was really curious about whether he wanted custody of the child.


    Charlotte was still young and understood none of this. She took the grapes she picked herself and


    chomped o n them, totally enjoying it. "They are sweet!"


    Mark got what she meant, but he said not a word. His expression deepened, and he pursed his lips.


    Using his warm fingers, he wiped off the grape juice that overflowed from the corners of Charlotte''s


    mouth.

    "Mark." Charlotte smiled as he handed a few grapes u p to his mouth. Her smile broadened when Mark


    did not respond. "It was sour at noon, but this time it’s really sweet. Try it."
