When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 442


    My mind wentpletely nk. I gave it a thought and said, “We’ll be back every now and then.


    Perhaps we’ll make a trip back during the next festive season.”


    Michael smiled when he heard that. “Then, Daddy and I will be waiting for you and Summer toe


    back to R Province to celebrate the festive seasons!”


    For a moment, I was flustered because I almost forgot there was another joyous asion around the


    corner. Secondster, I nodded and said, “Summer and I will be back soon.”


    The children were equally thrilled when they heard my words of assurance.


    On the other hand, Colin, who had been quiet all this while, broke the silence and queried, “Are you


    going to K City?”


    Shaking my head, I stated, “Not for the time being.”


    I never had the chance to bring Summer back to J City when she was an infant. Now that she was


    slightly older, I wanted to bring her back to visit Macy. I felt quite lost because I never mentioned Macy


    over the years.


    Summer snuggled in my arms after we bade farewell over the meal and made our way home. She was


    mncholic because we would be leaving soon.


    After I tucked her in, I called Ashton.


    The moment he picked up the call, his hoarse and seductive voice could be heard. “I was about to call


    you, yet you got ahead of me. It’s almost like our thoughts are connected.”


    I responded with a smile and looked out the window. Staring at the bright moon, I said, “I just resigned.”


    “Well, it was inevitable since staying at that hotel would be a waste of your talent,” he replied


    nonchntly as though he had been anticipating my departure.


    I smiled, wondering whether his words counted as apliment.


    Once again, he broke the silence and asked in a gentle tone, “Where are you nning to go?”


    “I haven’t made up my mind.” R Province might have much to offer. However, when I took Summer’s


    future into consideration, I thought she deserved better things in life.


    “No matter where you’re going, I’ll always have your back. Don’t forget I consider Summer as my


    daughter,” he asserted in a calm and collected manner.


    I was dazed for a moment before I nodded. “I’ll keep that in mind.”


    Compared to the way we interacted with one another in the past, I enjoyed our current rtionship


    more. Now, he wouldn’t make the call on my behalf and instead, he would simply provide his opinion


    and guidance.


    After I hung up the call, I purchased the air tickets to J City. It took me an hour to reach the central


    business district to purchase the tickets because there wasn’t any airport in R Province.


    In September, I brought Summer to J City with me. It was her first visit there. The moment she walked


    out of the airport, she swept her gaze around and shared her joy with me. “Mommy, this is such a huge


    airport!”


    I responded with a smile and brought her to Glenwood Apartments. When I left the city, I bought myself


    an apartment and kept one of Macy’s apartments for Summer.


    Since there were photos of Summer and me in the apartment, she returned with a photo after roaming


    around the house. She asked, “Mommy, who’s the woman beside you in the photo?”


    Seeing how Summer had directed her question at me in such a sincere manner, I suddenly felt a heart-


    wrenching sensation.


    I took over the photo and noticed the photo was taken in the year we graduated. Back then, Macy


    already started working in the bar.


    After she got her wages, she insisted on having me join her for a photoshoot in a studio. She said we


    needed a photo as a keepsake of our best time in life. Otherwise, age would catch up to us soon and


    we would forget what we looked like in our prime.


    I was grateful she insisted because the photo was something that could remind me of the most


    carefree period of my life.


    “Mommy, why are you crying?” Summer asked in a mellifluous tone. I crouched in front of her and


    cradled her in my arms, shedding tears of grief.


    “Summer, let’s pay this aunt a visit tomorrow, okay?” It had been four years since myst trip back. I


    couldn’t help but wonder if things were fine on her end.


    Summer nodded and stared at Macy in the photo. Shortly after, she wiped my tears off my face and


    said, “Okay!”


    Holding the little girl in my arms, I suppressed my emotion and announced, “Summer, she’s an


    important friend of mine and an important figure in your life. Can you promise me that you’ll address


    her as your mom instead of your aunt in the future?”


    Confused, the little girl asked, “Why? Michael said an ordinary family consisted of only one father and


    one mother. If I’m addressing her as my mother, how am I supposed to address you?”


    “Summer, we’re all special in our own ways. In short, you’re different from Michael as well. He’s a boy,


    but you’re a girl. He only has a mother, but you have two mothers. Macy is someone that’s important to


    me. Can you promise me that you’ll keep that in mind?”


    I couldn’t bring myself to tell Summer she wasn’t my biological daughter, yet I was afraid ofpletely


    detaching her from Macy. She may not have any memory of Macy in the four years of her life, but from


    now on, I wanted her to know about Macy.


    Summer was perplexed, but she nodded when she saw how serious I looked. “I’ll listen to you and


    address her as mommy Macy in the future.”

    I nodded.


    After we had settled down, I hailed a cab and brought Summer to the cemetery with me on the next


    day.


    Compared to myst visit, the cemetery seemed to be rtively spacious. It must have expanded


    again.


    Judging by the number of tombstones that were erected over the past four years, I couldn’t help but


    wonder how many people had lost their loved ones.
