When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1177


    For the entire day, I did not see Ashton. I then called Emery as my stressful emotion refused to


    subside. “It’s hard to believe that before I could be awyer, I had be a defendant. Such an


    irony.”


    The second Emery heard that Summer might be taken away, she assured confidently, “Thatwyer has


    nothing but a foul mouth. Anyone can stoop low and y dirty. Fret not. I promise no one wouldy


    hands on Summer as long as I am here.”


    After hanging up, I stared emotionlessly at the phone with a nk mind. On my way to Summer’s


    room, I suddenly had this strong feeling that I could lose her forever. At that moment, I felt as though a


    thousand needles were stabbing through my heart.


    It was already 9 p.m., so I supposed Summer should be asleep. I opened her door as quietly as I could,


    only to hear her sweet and carefree voice echoing in the room.


    “And also candies, please. Ms. Collins, please bring me these if youe over. Mommy never lets me


    have them!”

    Ms. Collins? Which Ms. Collins is she talking to? Out of curiosity, I tiptoed my way towards Summer’s


    desk and saw her video-calling someone.


    “Okay, I promise. Remember, this is a secret between us. Don’t tell anyone.”


    My back stiffened the moment I recognized Ste’s voiceing from theputer. Since when is she


    so close with Summer that they are still chatting at this hour?


    Feeling utterly displeased, I asked suddenly, “Summer, are you asleep?”


    Startled by my voice, Summer clumsily shut herputer and jumped swiftly into her bed, pretending


    to be sleeping.


    I was amused by her cuteness, but I tried to put on a stern face. “Are you really sleeping? Why aren’t


    you under your nket?”


    I could notice her tensed body and her nervous breath, yet her eyes were still tightly closed.


    It was difficult for me not tough at this scene. But instead, I gave a long sigh on purpose. “Alright, if


    you really don’t like me, then I won’te and visit you anymore in the future.”


    “Mommy! Wait!” Summer jumped out from her bed and grabbed my hands tightly. “I love you, Mommy!


    Please don’t send me to Xavier’s house. I want to be with you. I promise I will be a good girl!”


    Upon that, I could see tears started to well up in her eyes. How could I bear to hold a grudge against


    such a sweet kid? I patiently tucked her in her bed while trying tomunicate in a mature tone.


    “Summer, since when did you exchange contact with Ms. Collins?”


    Summer had her own WhatsApp ount, but her contact lists were none other than some close


    elders. Besides, she seldom used it except during special asions, for which I would usually be the


    one to set up the video call for her. I had never expected she would use it on her own and even added


    Ste.


    Following that, Summer covered her face with her nket, unwilling to answer my question. Judging


    from her stubborn behavior, I knew she liked Ste very much. Apparently, kids would do anything to


    protect the things they treasured.


    I bit my lips and reached my hand towards Summer. Gently patting her back, I tried tofort her.


    “Summer, of course, I will want you to have more friends. But I am your closest friend, so we should not


    keep secrets from each other. I promise that I won’t be mad at you. Okay?”


    Soon after that, Summer started revealing everything to me.


    Back when I was confined by Ashton, he had brought Summer to Fuller Corporation. During that time,


    thepany was under mass development, so everyone was fully upied. Whereas Ste, who was


    at the counter, was the only one avable to babysit Summer. Ste was an expert around kids, so they


    became good friends in just one morning. At that time, she even created another private chat ount


    for Summer. That was why I did not see her contact in Summer’s original ount.
