Chapter 404


    "Then when will there be wind?" Charlotte leaned her tiny body on Mark''s wide and warm chest. She


    insisted on getting all her questions answered.


    "We’ll know when we look at the weather forecast..." His gaze was still following her. When he saw her


    going into the washroom with the men''s goods, his anger was immediately sparked. Unknowingly, he


    even tightened his grip on Charlotte.


    Charlotte felt it and squirmed. "Oww, you’re hurting m e. And get the remote. Let’s look at the weather


    forecast!"


    Mark let go of her instantly and picked up the remote. He then switched to the weather forecast to


    entertain the persistent little girl.


    "Charlotte, didn''t you say that you wanted to watch My Little Pony? I''m done with theputer, so you


    can watch with it now." Dean was trying to move his wheelchair to get out of the room. When he saw


    the wless, notable, and elegant man sitting on the couch, he felt startled for a moment.


    He carried Charlotte by her backside and ced her tiny body on hisp before wrapping her with his


    arms. Mark then looked at Dean and said in his deep voice, feeling a little proud and provocative, "I’m


    here t


    o visit my own daughter..."


    He emphasized the three words ''my own daughter’ on purpose.


    Summer had just got done with her chores as she walked out and said to Charlotte, "You should go


    shower and sleep after watching the weather forecast. You still have school tomorrow."


    She had too much fun these few days. When school was brought up, she sulked and wilted like a piece


    of limp lettuce right away.


    "Do you not want the stickers from your teachers anymore? Or do you want your friends to know that


    you y truant?"


    Charlotte pouted. Even though she was reluctant, she still nodded her head. "Okay, mommy!"


    Summer then shifted her gaze to Mark. "You can watch it tomorrow if you are not done with it, but we


    have got to rest now. It''s also time for you to leave."


    Before Mark could even respond, Charlotte chimed in," Mommy, it''s cold and raining outside. It''s dark


    too. Could uncle stay for the night, please?"


    "There is no space for him here, he is a grown-up so h e isn’t afraid of the cold. He can find a ce to


    stay by himself."


    He looked at her while he listened. Then he furrowed his brows and coldly said, "Who says a grown-up


    isn''t afraid of the dark and the cold?"


    Summer could not hold in her anger after hearing his words as she glowered at him. "Is this what a


    grown-u p should say?"


    "It''s really dark and raining heavily outside, plus Mr. Valentine is not familiar with Nokoc Bay at all.


    Summer, just let him stay for the night," Dean said.


    Mark sneered as he snorted ironically through his nose. ''Since when did I need his help?’


    Summer looked at him and left him four cold words," Sleep on the couch."


    After that, she carried Charlotte into the bathroom while Dean went back to his room, leaving Mark


    alone in the living hall.


    It was getting darker and darker as the room went back to silence. There was only the sound of his own


    breath echoing in the room. He did not expect Nokoc Bay to be that cold during the summer.


    Mark heaved his body on the couch as he squinted his eyes, losing sleep.


    Momentster, he heard someone creep up on him. Charlotte was carrying a nket that was even


    heavier than her as she walked toward him.


    Stumbling, she strenuously ced the nket on the couch. "Here!"


    Mark''s heart went soft and gave the little girl two kisses on her forehead. His voice was deep but


    gentle. "Quick, go to bed."

    She returned him with a peck on his cheek before creeping back into her room.
