Chapter 96

“Why are you still awake, honey? What about Jack and Ella?” Summer asked worriedly as she led Jake to sit on the bed.

“They are still sleeping. I woke up and was scared to sleep again. Can I pass the night here with you?” Jake’s little voice came on with his eyes

half–closed.

“Of course, darling. Come here,” She held his hand and helped him climb the bed.

The bathroom door creaked almost silently as it opened slightly with Xander peeping through the little space left between the door and its

frame.

“You can leave,” Summer mouthed as she signalled him to leave, and he quietly walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

She breathed out in relief and lay beside Jake on the bed.

A smile formed on her lips as she watched her son sleep peacefully, but the excitement was because of what happened between Xander and herself earlier. She didn’t want that to end. She was hoping it’d end in something magical, but that happy moment was brought to an abrupt

halt, all thanks to Jake.

“Why did he have to wake up at that time?” She sighed briefly then pulled the duvet to cover the little boy before leaving for the bathroom to

Once she was done in the bathroom, she changed into a white robe and went back inside to sleep.

Summer had no idea how long he had been asleep until a knock on the door pulled her out of her deep slumber, and she forced her eyes open to find the room bright as a result of the sunlight penetrating through the glass window.

“It’s morning?” She mumbled tiredly as she sat up on the bed then ruffled her hair briefly and arranged them again.

The sight of her son sleeping beside her brought a smile to her face, causing her to lean in and kissed his hair.

“Who is there?” She yawned tiredly as she got off bed and advanced toward the door after the second knock, and as she pulled it open, Ella’s angry face welcomed her.

“I’ve been knocking on the door for like forever, I thought you were never going to open up,” the little girl scoffed, and Summer had to look around to be sure she wasn’t the one the girl was talking to, but apparently, she was the only one there aside from the little girl, so she was definitely referring to her.

“Your Daddy told you to stop being rude to elders. I’m old enough to be your Mom… My kids are older than you, so you should respect me,” Summer crossed her arms on her chest while looking down at the girl.
