The President's Accidental Wife novel Chapter 322

"Did you rush back to Nokocola Bay like this usually? I s it because of his return that you have to go in such a hurry?"

Summer had always been confiding in Daisy. This time was no different. "Yeah.”

"You have been divorced for four years. Why are you still avoiding him like a plague?" Daisy was a little puzzled at first. But then she seemed to think of something and guessed the reason out right. "Is it because of Charlotte?"

"Yeah." Summer nodded, holding a glass of water and sipping on it.

Daisy knew it.

Summer could be better than this, Daisy thought, raising her hand and poked Summer on the forehead.

"Don't be silly. You don't have to do this because of Charlotte. You married him because you wanted the child, and this was something he promised you. Now that you two have divorced, Charlotte should rightly belong to you."

Her daughter had always been smart. But how could she be so confused about her own affair this time?

Gently kneading her forehead with her hand, Summer

slowly said, "Mom, I wish things could be this simple." "Then tell me why it is not simple."

"Like you said, I married him because of the child—it was a marriage of convenience. But you have got to understand that there was only an oral agreement between us. The marriage was done according to normal procedures. If he wants to fight for the child's custody in court, I could do nothing to stop him."

Daisy fell into silence, as she knew Summer had a point.

Summer shook her head with a bitter smile. "Mom, I a m not overthinking. It is just that the world is a cruel place."

Daisy let out a sigh and patted Summer on the shoulder.

"Listen to me, Summer. Our family is neither wealthy nor powerful, but your dad and I will do our best for Charlotte. Besides, Mark has never cared about Charlotte nor seen her once for the past four years. He would be disqualified in this regard. So we still stand a significant chance of winning. Don’t think too much."

"Mom, he has never cared for Charlotte nor seen her for the past four years. He has not even fulfilled his duty as a father. Besides, it was he who gave up the custodial right of the child. I completely have the moral high ground and every reason to quash his challenge. But why do I always think so negatively and become so timid and mushy?"

Whenever she saw Mark, she would instinctively, or reflexively, want to hide Charlotte from him. She was out of control.
