Chapter 504


    "Since you say so, I will not stop you anymore. But you have got to remember that this is your own


    choice. Don''t regret itter."


    Daisy was not dumb, and she could see how Summer and Mark were getting along.


    Love could hurt as much as it is beautiful. If Summer were to be with Dean, she would lead a much


    simpler life with less pain; she would be happy for the rest of her life. But the decision was not hers,


    and she would let Summer choose her own path.


    "I see your point, Mom. Thank you." Summer walked over and hugged Daisy; she knew her mom loved


    her s o much.


    "Don''t sway me with your glib talk. Charlotte will still sleep with us tonight."


    Summer''s brows twitched involuntarily. She then blinked her eyes. "Why don’t you and dad have

    another baby so that you can hug the baby to sleep every night. It should be more fun."


    Daisy reached over to pinch Summer''s cheek. "Believe it or not, I will tear your little mouth apart. How


    embarrassing it is to talk about that!" "What is so embarrassing about it? It is not like you


    are a kid." Summer chuckled and swiftly darted away into the bathroom before Daisy could smack her.


    Charlotte had taken a shower, and now sat on the bed, ying her favorite toys with her butt pointing


    skyward.


    Solomon was ying with Charlotte while Daisy was cleaning the room. Her eyes fell on the jewelry


    box that had seen better days. She opened it and rummaged through the things inside.


    There were rings and nes that she wore when she got married. There was also a bracelet that


    her mother-inw gave her. A thought came to mind as she saw the diamond ring.


    She took out the diamond ring, hung it on a ne cord, and turned around. "Come on Charlotte, let


    me put this on for you."


    Solomon was puzzled at seeing the diamond ring. " What are you doing with this thing?"


    "I remember I found this diamond ring in Summer''s baby nket. What could happen after so many


    years? Her biological parents must have looked for her a long time ago. It has been twenty-eight years


    now, and perhaps they have forgotten about her. Besides, this jewelry suits the child. If I were to give it


    to Amara, you could basically perish the thought if you wanted it back. I had better give it to Charlotte,


    and avoid any unnecessary conflictter." 2


    Solomon knew Amara too well, and so he said nothing


    further.


    Daisy hung the diamond ring around Charlotte''s neck and patted her on the butt with an avuncr look


    on her face. "Come on, stop ying. Come to bed with m e."


    The next morning


    After breakfast, Summer helped Charlotte get changed when she saw the diamond ring around


    Charlotte''s neck. "Who gave you this?" she asked in amazement.


    "It was Grandma."


    Summer took a look at it and tapped the tip of Charlotte''s nose. "Your grandmother is spoiling you. I will


    get your shoes, and you call your daddy."


    The two had agreed yesterday that after breakfast, Mark would take Charlotte to the Valentine


    mansion.


    Charlotte nodded her little head. Summer took out her cell phone, dialed the number, handed it to


    Charlotte, and she left.


    When she returned, she saw Charlotte ying Fruit Ninja on the phone. While putting her shoes on,


    Summer asked, "What did your dad say?"


    "It wasn''t Daddy who answered the phone; it was ady." Charlotte''s voice sounded innocent. She did


    not even look up as her eyes were glued to the phone and her fingers were swiping up and down the


    screen.


    Summer furrowed her brows, and her heart sank.


    Charlotte continued. "Thedy said the number you dialed was busy and asked you to call again."
