When There Is Nothing Left But Love -
Chapter 1363
Chapter 1363
Initially, I planned to spend the weekend with Summer. However, ever since she realized she was giftedin mathematics, she would shut herself in the study all day, and I felt bad to disturb.
Jackson and Lydia came in the afternoon. They planned to immigrate to M Country and wanted to meetSummer for the last time before their departure.
I led Jackson to the study and opened the door slowly. We tiptoed into the room to avoid disturbingSummer. Then, he halted in his tracks and stood a metre away from Summer and looked at the child.
After some time, she finally our presence in the room and turned around.
When she saw Jackson, her face lit up with a wide grin. Putting away her pen, she walked toward usslowly to greet him politely. “Mr. Jackson, you’re here.”
He smiled and ruffled her hair gently. “I’m here. Did I disturb you when you’re studying?”
Summer glanced at her homework before turning to us with a smile plastered on her face. “No worries.I’ve done the questions thrice and I’m just doing some revisions today. Mr. Cress said he will arrange anew study plan for me tomorrow, so I can rest tonight.”
I smiled faintly at her words. She was intelligent and hardworking at such a young age, which was arelief to me. “Summer, Mr. Jackson and Ms. Alder are going to M Country, so they can’t visit you thatoften from now on. Spend some time with Mr. Jackson tonight and leave your studies asidetemporarily.”
Upon hearing my words, Summer furrowed her brows and looked at me. The child seemed to be lost inthoughts, but soon after, she relaxed and smiled.
I missed the change in her expression, but Jackson saw everything.
Realizing that the child was hesitant, Jackson knew what to do. “It’s okay. Summer, do whatever youwant. Alright?”
Her smile grew wider. “Yeah! Thank you, Mr. Jackson.”
What was supposed to be a long conservation ended in less than five minutes.
After exiting the room, Jackson and I strolled along the corridors. When we stepped out of the room,the man couldn’t help but whisper, “Don’t you think that Summer’s changed a lot?”
“Yeah. After getting in touch with Jared, she is more reserved now. Maybe Jared’s changed for thegood too?”
Jackson shook his head. “I’m not talking about this. Didn’t you notice how fast her maturity rate is? Shewanted to voice her objection to your plans just now, but she kept her dissatisfaction to herself. I’mworried that she’ll inherit Jared’s personality with her tendency to hide her emotions.”
His wild guess made me anxious. I immediately stopped walking and turned to him. “You’re saying thatSummer’s becoming more and more like Jared?”
I knew what Jackson meant. Summer was Jared’s biological daughter, so it was normal for them toshare some resemblance. However, if she became someone scheming like her father, she wouldn’t beable to enjoy her life.
In fact, she would see Jared as her salvation and distant herself from others. That might not seem to bethe case on the surface, but it could be possible that she had built walls surrounding her heart andshutting others away while harboring hatred toward the entire community.
If Macy was a warm light, Jared would be the darkness from hell, while Summer was the fruit of theirlove. Deep down, I wished the child would inherit Macy’s traits.
Jackson assured, “Don’t worry. Perhaps it is as what Jared said, Summer is talented and progressesrather quickly learning new stuffs. It’s normal for her to be matured at such a young age.”
After saying his words, he glanced in the study’s direction and seemed to be lost in thought.
Then, he started explaining his plan to me in detail. “We mustn’t trust Jared fully and don’t entrustSummer to him. One year is enough for him to change her completely. After going to M Country, I’llvideo call her every week. Make sure she answers the calls so I can observe her condition.”
