Chapter 129: Goodbye Sweet Summer

"Stop wiggling like a salted worm!" 

Luke peered through his dark glasses and asked, "What on earth is a salted worm?"

"Didn't you do that when you were a kid? Like a science experiment... when you sprinkled salt on a worm, it wiggled!" 

"Jess, you work in the scientific field. What you just said is not an experiment! You tortured an innocent worm!" 

"Shut up, what kind of childhood did you have?" 

He laughed and pushed Jess off her sunlounger. "Don't talk shit about my normal childhood." 

They were giggling like children when Lucille appeared, dressed in a rainbow-colored summer dress and carrying a Panda stuffed animal. 

"Uncle Luke!!" 

"Oh, look who's here!"  He got up from the sunbed and opened his arms for Lucille. 

Jess' heart is thumping wildly on her chest, not because of the heartwarming scene between Luke and Lucille.
