A Night with Gideon novel Chapter 22

After two days, Lyzza received a notice letter from Gideon’s lawyer. Just as it said, the letter stated that it wanted to take Summer.

He looked at the bed inside the hospital when his son squealed when Gideon tickled him on the stomach. Her daughter is a daddy’s girl in an instant. There was a trace of joy on his face when he saw Gideon when he opened his eyes. Even though he was pale, he was naughty to hug and talk to his father. "Daddy, no! I won’t do it anymore. I surrender. No!"

it screamed and laughed.

Gideon chuckled and scoffed Summer in his arms. The child hugged his father’s neck tenderly. Gideon kissed Summer’s forehead and returned her hug.

Summer waved as he looked at her. "Mommy!"

He smiled at her and stood up from sitting on the sofa. He just got back from his flight. His mom and Gideon did not agree that he was absent from his class at the airlines. This is said to be the responsibility of their son. And true to his words, he found Gideon arguing with Summer. 4 "How are you feeling, hmm?"

he asked his son softly and sat on the other side of the bed. "It was fun, Daddy is here. Thank you for finding him, Mommy."

Her eyes shine with happiness. "I love you."

She gave her a flying kiss that made her chuckle. He bent down close to her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "I love you too, Baby."

Then he adjusted his seat and was stunned when he met Gideon’s eyes looking directly at him. His eyes were cold and emotionless. She was swallowed by the intensity of his gaze on her, as if reading the contents of his mind. "Mommy, kiss Daddy too. I saw my classmates’ mommies and daddies kissing whenever they saw each other."

He closed his mouth at what his son said. He averted his gaze and his cheeks heated up. The idea of kissing him with the current situation of them is awkward. They are both annoyed with each other. Him, irritated with the idea that she hides Summer. And her, with the idea of him getting Summer from her.

Then what? His son will have a stepmother and hurt him? She and Gideon will die if even the tip of Summer’s finger is injured because of her stepmother. She knows a lot of kids being physically violated caused by their step-parents. He knows only a few who have true love for their husband’s son. 1 Advance if you think in advance. Can she be blamed when that is one of the things that a mother like her fears.

"Come on, Mommy. You already kissed me. Kiss Daddy too so we’re a happy family."

He shook his head and ruffled her loose hair. He immediately complained about what he did.

"Mommy, don’t mess up my hair. Mamila just combed my hair and now I look like a witch again."

"No, you are not."

Summer gave her a cheeky smile. Labas ang gilagid nito. "Really? Tito Cai said that I look like a witch in the Hansel and Gretel movie."

"You’re just being fooled."

"I know, Mommy. But he is still my favorite Tito."

He turned his gaze to his father. "Where’s your sister, Daddy?"

"You know that I have one?"

"Yes,"

the boy nodded. "I saw you at the mall, didn’t I?"

"Yeah."

Gideon chuckled. "Her name is Carollete. You wanna meet her?"

"Yes, Daddy. She looks like a princess!"

"Alright. I’ll tell her."

Summer squealed with joy and was even applauded. "I’ll ask her to fix my hair."
