"Ah? Okay? Hey?" Cupid’s Earth Agent was shocked by their own business skills for the first ti.
Sumr Fairmont replied with an idiom to confirm she was fully aware of Artie Vaughn’s aning: "A sister-in-law is like a mother."
She didn’t mind taking care of Artie like a mom, so when she said "okay," she was absolutely sincere.
In Scotland, Sumr Fairmont always treated Artie as a "kid" to take care of.
Speaking of which, Sumr Fairmont is a year younger than the Vaughn siblings, but one’s psychological age and actual age are never necessarily mismatched.
A girl who grew up in an extrely indifferent environnt either grows on her own or walks towards despair.
After a period that wasn’t short of despair, Sumr Fairmont chose to let herself grow.
The word sister-in-law hadn’t yet entered the relatively sparse Chinese vocabulary of Sumr Fairmont.
But this didn’t stop Sumr Fairmont from using her celestial-level Chinese interpretation skills to connect the "sister-in-law" from Cupid’s Earth Agent’s mouth with the "A sister-in-law is like a mother" she occasionally shouted while talking to Artie and Leo Vaughn on the phone.
In just three seconds of reaction ti, Sumr Fairmont ca up with the optimal solution to the idiom "A sister-in-law is like a mother" — sister-in-law = mother.
Under Sumr Fairmont’s "excellent" comprehension, "being a sister-in-law to the one and only Artie Vaughn" turned into sothing that, even in Celestar, Sumr Fairmont would continue to take care of the Pouting Siren like a "kid," just as she did in Scotland.
For Sumr, who has been "nurturing" Artie for five years, maintaining the "nurturing" status quo posed no pressure at all.
With such reasonable and justified demands, what reason did Sumr Fairmont have to refuse?
Sothing that couldn’t be more desirable.
Why not do it?
If Artie Vaughn asked a different way, like asking if Sumr Fairmont wanted to be Leo Vaughn’s wife,
Then Sumr Fairmont would most likely know Artie was joking and wouldn’t make any substantial response to such an absurd request.
Of course, "most likely" ans more than 75% probability, which is different from absolute certainty.
Even if Artie used the word wife at that ti, it wasn’t 100% guaranteed.
Just a few minutes ago, Sumr Fairmont gave Artie a strong signal that "your mom" = "wife," forcing Artie’s repetition to evolve from "two-dinsional" to "three-dinsional."
"I knew Sumr Darling is the best to Artie! Ah, can Sumr say it again and again? Artie wants to record it on the phone." Artie imdiately reacted.
Even if 7 billion people on Earth can’t understand Sumr Fairmont’s way of expressing, Artie would definitely be the 7 billion and oneth.
After understanding, how should Artie’s misunderstanding of Sumr Fairmont be handled?
Is it correct to guide, or continue to mislead?
Cupid’s Earth Agent finally had such a perfect performance before the agency rights were reclaid.
Even if it’s a misunderstanding, there shouldn’t be a chance to unravel it.
Recording it makes it irrefutable.
"Okay." After Artie held up the phone, Sumr Fairmont repeated it once, still with just one word.
But a single word couldn’t satisfy Artie’s spur-of-the-mont desire for concrete proof.
With the motto of not missing any opportunity, Artie decided to seize this "once-in-five-year" chance: "That’s not it, Sumr shouldn’t be so perfunctory with Artie, you need to be more serious and say a complete sentence."
Artie cleared her throat, raised her oath-taking finger, and with a smile brighter than the sun, gave Sumr Fairmont a clear demonstration: "I, Sumr Fairmont, am willing to be Artie’s sister-in-law."
Then, Sumr Fairmont truly fulfilled Artie’s wish.
And then, the entire world went silent.
Artie stifled her laughter, winking at Talia Tate with the rhythm of "Wild Bee Flying."
"Artie Darling, what’s wrong with your eyes?" Talia Tate didn’t take the bait.
Except for Artie, the instigator, no one else present, including Leo Vaughn, Talia Tate, and the waiting butler, knew what was going on in the world.
"Ma-ma, your late-night snack was all style and no substance, maybe when Artie’s sister-in-law’s free, she can make it for you to try!" For the first ti, Artie felt her mom’s understanding ability was a problem, but it wasn’t the ti to explain.
The most important thing now was to solidify Sumr Fairmont’s new identity: "Sister-in-law wouldn’t mind making an extra serving when making a late-night snack for Artie, right?"
Artie blinked at Sumr Fairmont with the sa frequency.
"Mm." From Talia Tate’s reaction, and Leo Vaughn’s silence, Sumr Fairmont sensed sothing wrong.
But because she wasn’t familiar with the two of them, she couldn’t determine exactly what was wrong.
Sumr Fairmont wasn’t too concerned about whether what Artie just asked her to say was problematic or not.
In this world, there were too few people and things that truly mattered to her.
Sumr Fairmont could see the depression hidden under Leo Vaughn’s smile at a glance.
But, but so what?
Sumr Fairmont never believed she had to be responsible for all those who suffered from depression in this world.
So many people are trapped by depression, what can soone as insignificant as she do?
ntal problems have always been very personal issues, and in the end, you have to rely on yourself.
In Sumr Fairmont’s view, if she can manage herself well, it’s already a blessing from above.
If, on the long and dark path of growth, Sumr Fairmont also chose to use a smile to dissolve the world’s indifference towards her.
Then she should already have died from her depression while smiling.
Just like the Nation’s Gentleman, who smiles at everyone, there’s Sumr Fairmont, who won’t smile in any situation.
All along, Sumr Fairmont has been cold and unapproachable.
She is unwilling to smile, and it’s the sa with everyone.
Even The Pouting Siren has never seen Sumr Fairmont truly smile.
No one knows what kind of smile Sumr Fairmont has.
Instead of using a smile to hide, Sumr Fairmont chooses to face her inner gloom directly.
Face it, then conquer it.
Only then can she live in a world where she can see the sunshine, like now.
Living in Artie Vaughn’s sunlight-like brilliance.
The sun can bring warmth to those under it.
But it can equally sting those in the darkness who are in despair.
Only by walking out on her own can she slowly adapt to the sun’s rays, and wander under it without getting burned.
Leo Vaughn can’t possibly figure out Sumr Fairmont’s way of speaking in just a few short hours of interaction.
However, he can easily detect The Pouting Siren’s small sches from Artie Vaughn’s deliberately drawn-out "sister-in-law~".
The Nation’s Gentleman rarely said four not-so-indulgent words to Artie Vaughn: "Enough is enough."
So jokes, once or twice are cute, but keep them going, and it’s a different story.
Especially since what Artie Vaughn said wasn’t really about whether to make one more or less midnight snack, such trivial daily matters.
"As you command! Brother~" Artie Vaughn very "sensibly" did not continue to stir the sa "language cognitive discrepancy".
The soon-to-be-recalled global agent for Cupid wants to take a video during her final tenure to prove her past glorious achievents.
"Why does it look right but feel wrong? Mom clearly made it so lifelike! Sumr Darling, co and have a taste. Only new things I like have a say; as for Artie, who already has grown tired of the old, we shouldn’t care about her." Talia Tate also chose not to "take advantage of the situation" at such a mont.
When Artie Vaughn isn’t dragged into the matter of the global agency for Cupid, she’s fairly asured, but once it touches on her "career dreams," she exaggerates a bit.
This kind of joke, it’s better if Sumr Fairmont never figures it out, or the day she does...
Leo Vaughn’s advice for moderation to Artie Vaughn stems from such a concern.
The Nation’s Gentleman is a bit over-concerned.
Because The Pouting Siren asks Sumr Fairmont to "do _____ for the world-renowned Artie Vaughn." It’s a series.
That blank has once been filled with various content.
For example: head steward, heat pack, koala, orchid.
Then there are: boyfriend, great-grandfather, girlfriend, great-grandmother.
Even including: biological daughter, godson.
Animals, plants, living things, non-living things, everything and anything.
Sister-in-law is nothing significant.

"I can handle it myself. The dining facilities here are better equipped than in hospitals. Don’t starve yourself for my sake." Sean Lowell joked seriously when Gordon Sterling ca in.
"Are you going to eat or not? You planning on using your paws? Just eat?" Gordon Sterling handed a spoon and fork to Leo Vaughn before continuing, "You can leave with the wine now, are you going or not?"
Sean Lowell knew he’d worried his agent again and was also well aware that Gordon Sterling had his own unique way of expressing concern.
"I’ll follow Manager Sterling’s orders." The Jilted, with his 19.8 million fans, showed a humility reminiscent of an artist not yet debuted.
"What if I told you to go to hell, are you going or not?" Gordon Sterling couldn’t stand Sean Lowell’s humility. It was as if just a little self-praise by this 20 million big influencer was too much to bear.
"I’ll go. I’ll even eat if you ask. Going would be no problem." Master Sean Lowell’s expressionless face made his originally pungent words seem as light as a breeze.
Such calmness and lightness were what Gordon Sterling couldn’t stand most about Sean Lowell.
He couldn’t fight him, couldn’t scold him, and if he said too much, he’d end up choking on his own words.
What kind of sin did he commit in a past life to be living and working with such a person, first sharing a dorm room, then co-founding a company?
