The story of her life was a deep-seated pain buried within Summer Ford's heart. Although she appeared sharp-tongued on the surface, once her strong exterior was torn down, she hurt like any ordinary person when her deepest emotions were touched.
Before she entered the Ford Family, many of the children living with her in the orphanage were found by their families and taken away, yet she was the only one whose real relatives never showed up.
This gave her a feeling of being abandoned, abandoned by her closest kin.
Summer Ford buried her face in Ethan Laurent's embrace, sobbing for an unknown length of time, her emotions unstable.
Ethan Laurent gently patted her back, over and over, with such tenderness even he hadn't realized, "It's okay now, it's okay..."
He truly had never seen Summer Ford like this. Seeing her this way suddenly left him at a loss.
