Chapter 20
Summer Frost POV
“By chance, does Mr. Xander have a daughter or something? I knew the question was ridiculous especially as I had claimed to him that I didn’t care and had nothing to do with Xander, but I couldn’t help it.
“What do you mean, ma’am?” Miguel pulled a confused look as he looked at me maybe for further explanation which of course, I had no idea how I was going to tell him,
“Never mind,” I waved my hand dismissively, reclining on the couch.
“Why are
are you asking, ma’am? Is there…”
“Nothing. I’m just curious,” I cut him off.
“Are you going to consider his Mom’s surgery? She has been in the intensive care unit for a couple of days, and…
“I want to go see her. Is there a way to?” I looked up at him, and he stared at me for seconds.
“Ma’am, it’s going to be difficult to see the woman because you are not her family member…”
“But I might be her surgeon later. Don’t you think that is enough reason to go see her? What if I want to know what her condition looks like?” I raised my eyebrows, and he quickly nodded.
“I will make an appointment with the doctor so you can go see her then,” He bowed to me.
“Don’t let Xander know about it,” I stood up and headed to the staircase. My phone beeped as I walked down the walkway minutes later.
“Let’s have dinner together tonight. I will pick you up‘ A brief sigh tore through my nostrils after I read through the text I had just gotten from Hunter.
“Hmm. I’ll be waiting I didn’t want to have dinner with him, but I replied to his text, regardless. I already gave him my word that I was going to have dinner with him if he helped me get rid of Xander, and I should keep my promise, yeah?
It was 2:15pm, and I barely had anything to do at home.
My phone started to ring as soon as I walked inside my room with bad’s number displayed on the screen.
“Dad…” I spoke on the phone after I answered the call and held the phone to my ear.
“A friend of mine and a business partner is having his birthday dinner party at his villa tonight. I was going to attend the party myself, but something came up. I will speak with Hunter so you can go together,” His voice sounded from the other end, and I nodded as though he was there with me.
“Alright, Dad. I will wait for Hunter to come pick me up later” There was no reason to argue with him knowing he was never going to listen, and besides, didn’t make any
difference since I was going on a dinner date with Hunter tonight.
“Hmm,” That was his last word before the call disconnected, and I threw myself tiredly on the bed, staring up at the sky.
“Is he the father of that little girl?” As much as I didn’t want to think about it, I couldn’t help it. He accused me of cheating on him, he claimed to be sterile. Did he do all that just so we could go our separate ways?
“That’s not true. Xander will never do something like that. He would never look for an excuse to make us separate,” Even though we didn’t separate in a

good way, I knew he would never do such a thing. He would never be that petty or heartless.
“Why do you care? Why do you care if she is his daughter? You should stop thinking about him,” I tried to force myself to stop thinking about that jerk, but it didn’t work. In the end, I always caught myself doing it over and over again.
The doorbell rang
and I looked
over to the door.
“It’s me, ma’am… Someone is here to see you,” Chloe’s voice sounded from outside, and I rose to my feet. Many thoughts ran through my mind. Could it be Xander who had come back to see me? What does he want now? Crazily, I was hoping that it turned out to be him. Yes, it’s crazy, but luck! I couldn’t deny that I missed him so much.
