Who Is Summer's Mother?

After the ice cream was finished, both Nicolae and Summer remained seated at their table. Apparently, the cafe owner gave them presents of chips and sweets for Summer.

He was very happy because their presence made more and more guests visit his shop until there was a snake-like queue in front of his shop.

"You must not eat all the sugar," Nicolae said, wiping Summer's smeared lips from ice cream while smiling in amusement.

He really had never seen a child as beautiful as this one. Even when she was smeared in chocolate and cream, Summer looked even more adorable. It was as if there was nothing could make her look ugly.

Summer nodded obediently, but her face looked sad as she pushed the bowl of sweets to the end of the table. Nicolae tried to distract the girl from the sweets and pointed toward the park opposite them.

"Do you want to go for a walk? We can look for mushrooms or count how many blue tulips that bloom in the garden," he said.
