“Let’s go downtown to eat tonight. I’ll go over to pick you and Summer up later. Remember to dress warmly.” There were sounds of Ashton sorting out documents, which meant that he was still at work.

“Don’t worry, I’ve booked a private room in the restaurant. It’ll be fine.” He paused for a while, then continued, “Jared’s back from W City. He wants to see Summer.”

“It’s fine!” No matter what, Summer was still Jared’s daughter.
