Lily spoke up again, "Do you not want to accompany m e around Santabaca?"
"No, of course, I want to. It would be an honor to accompany my adorable sister-in-law," Summer said i
n a friendly tone; however, her smile did not meet her eyes.
Lily scoffed, 'Sister-in-law? How ridiculous of her to call me that!'
Chuckling mirthlessly to herself, Lily left the room after.
Summer shifted her gaze back to Mark, who was sitting on the couch, and mocked him, "What a kind
and loving brother you were."
His lips twitched upwards as he looked at her momentarily before saying, "The way you said that
sounded so lovely, Mrs. Valentine. Do compliment me again."
Summer was rendered speechless.
The next day.
She was the only one left in the room when she awoke.
Just as she was heading to get some breakfast after washing her face, Lily stomped towards her,
demanding her accompany to go around town.
With Gordon and Yvette in the room, Summer could not turn Lily down, so she agreed defeatedly and
went out with Lily after grabbing her down jacket.
Lily was ready to make things difficult for Summer.
She knew Summer hadn't had any breakfast, yet she dragged her around from morning to noon as she
shopped for various luxury brands.
Stomach growling and feeling hungrier by the minute, Summer quickly went to a KFC nearby and got
herself a burger when Lily was at the fitting room.
Unconcerned about others around her, she casually ate her burger in the store. As a result, the staff
there threw funny glances at her.
Lily felt extremely embarrassed for Summer and stormed out of the store. She thought, 'How can one
be so disgraceful in public!'
Taking her own sweet time, Summer ate her burger slowly. She had even ordered a bowl of noodles as
they stopped by a food court.
Frustrated, Lily sat across Summer and waited.
'No one has ever brought me to such a boisterous place, and now thanks to Summer, I am stuck in this Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
disgusting food court!' Lily complained in her head.
She swore to herself that if it weren't for wanting to make Summer suffer for the day, she would not
have stepped into the place.
The bowl of noodles Summer was having was delicious. The broth was thick with flavor, and the
noodles were springy. As she was eating, her phone rang. Checking the caller ID, she smiled as she
picked up the call. It was Nancy.
"I'm shopping around South Lane. Do you want to join me?"
"Sure. I was planning to get some new clothes as well. Give me a few minutes, and I'll meet you there!"
With that, Nancy ended the call.
Despite knowing that Summer's friend was coming, Lily did not intend to leave. On the contrary, she
asked with feigned politeness, "Is it alright if I tag along with you and your friend?"
What Lily truly had thought at the moment was, 'So what if her friend comes by. My plan to humiliate
her will still go on!'
"Of course, you can!" replied Summer as she gave her a warm smile.
Lily's bad intentions were obvious to Summer.
Immediately after Summer's reply, Lily's phone rang and answered in a soft and gentle tone, "Hello,
auntie. You want me to watch a movie with you in the cinema? Sure! I'll head over right now."
Glancing at Summer with the corner of her eyes, she intentionally brought Summer up, "Auntie,
Summer is with me right now. Do you want to talk to her for a bit?
Oh, it's fine? Alright then, I'll let her know."
After keeping her phone in her purse, she looked at Summer. Her eyes lit with arrogance, and she
looked a s if she was showing off.
"Sorry, Summer. Auntie has asked me to watch a movie with her, so I can't keep you company
anymore. Also, auntie wanted to tell you to be safe while shopping alone."
