Chapter 414


    She peered into the living room like a thief and immediately put the kite aside.


    Mark stood behind her; he was tall, handsome, and elegant. The only thing that seemed out of ce


    was the Shawn the Sheep bag he held in his hand.


    Pouting, Charlotte dashed into the kitchen. "Mommy, I''m thirsty, I want some water."

    Summer frowned when she saw Charlotte''s soiled white shoes with traces of grass on them. She


    tugged a t her cor and led her out of the kitchen. "Where did you go today?"


    Charlotte became droopy, her head sagging. Her legs began kicking, and she answered in a tiny voice


    like a fly, "I... was... flying my kite..."


    "Today is your first day after being absent from school for so long, and you skipped your sses?"


    Summer''s words became harsh.


    Charlotte was frightened and curled up against the wall. Mark looked at Summer, squinted his eyes,


    and said, "I''ve requested a day off from her teacher..."


    As he said, he ced the Shawn the Sheep bag on the sofa and walked over. Immediately, Charlotte


    clung to his legs.


    Upon hearing that, Summer shifted her attention from him to Charlotte. "No dinner for you until you


    finish your homework."


    After saying this, she ignored them and left the kitchen, and began serving dinner.


    Charlotte twitched her cute little nose at the aroma." Uncle, mommy made roasted tomato soup and


    meat buns, and I''m hungry."


    "What a nose..." Mark raised his brow and gently pinched her nose, "hold on a little longer..."


    Charlotte licked her lips, her head drooping in disappointment. Then, she began doing her homework


    while Mark sat beside her.


    It was only because of his daughter that he could enter the house today; otherwise, knowing her


    character, he wouldn’t even have a chance.


    However, he had let his daughter down. After a day of flying her kite, she had to do her homework in


    hunger.


    Only Summer and Dean sat at the dining table for dinner, and the delicious smell filled the air. Dean


    wanted to ask for Charlotte but was stopped by Summer.


    Charlotte tugged at Mark’s trousers and said softly," uncle, I miss mommy''s meat buns very much..."


    "Uncle misses them even more. Be a good girl, keep going..." Mark raised his brow as he spoke in his


    deep voice. He lowered his eyes and peeped at Dean coldly.


    He had tasted the meat buns she made before, although it was four years ago...


    After dinner, Dean returned to the room to work while Summer cleared the table. Unable to bear it


    anymore, Charlotte said in her teary eyes. "Mommy, I''m very hungry..."


    Feeling sorry, Summer went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of roasted tomato soup for


    Charlotte, but she didn''t even look at him sitting on the sofa.


    Mark, too, was hungry. His eyebrows twitched as he observed Charlotte enjoying the food.


    "Uncle, ahh..." Charlotte fed him a spoon of roasted tomato soup. It would be better if she hadn’t fed


    him. The moment he tasted it, his hunger grew. After being separated for four years, her cooking had


    improved.


    Mark took over Charlotte''s spoon of roasted tomato soup. As he was about to savor it, his actions met


    with Summer’s gaze.
