He loosened his tie and threw it on the sofa. He then leaned on the sofa, his long legs folded over the edge of the coffee table, and his lips curled in a sneer.Mrs. Valentine had the nerve to do that to him. Not only did she not come back home, she didn’t answer his calls, she even turned it off…Well…*Summer went to the mall with Amara in the morning. New Year was coming, and Amara was getting some new clothes for the holiday.In the end, she chose a red woolen cardigan. It was designed for spring and summer, so it looked quite thin yet loose. She said she could still wear it when she was four or five months pregnant.Summer, on the other hand, was just looking around aimless. It didn’t matter to her whether she got new clothes for the coming holiday.Seeing this, Amara grunted disapprovingly and lectured Summer.“Your idea is completely wrong. Because you married into the Valentine family, you need to dress well. You know what your mother-in-law is like, if you dress casu
But before she could finish her words, Kayla interrupted her, “I’m not sure if there was a misunderstanding, but Dean never took his eyes off you, did he, class?”The whole table burst into laughter. Dean glanced at Summer twice and blushed a little.If she couldn’t see what Dean was thinking, she was blind!Summer was about to explain, but someone spoke before she got the chance. “It’s no fun just drinking. Let’s play a game. Whoever gets the king can order two persons to complete some instructions. To make it fun, no matter what kind of instructions are given, they must be completed unconditionally. There is no room for refusal. Everyone has to play by the rules. Now, start.”The words were spoken very quickly, and there was no opportunity for anyone to respond.More than 30 cards were picked, of which only one was the king, and the rest were meaningless cards.The person who got the King in the first round was Melissa Harper. Her instructions were unusually bold. “Tom, Michael
He was stunned, and so did Summer. Her head turned to the left.She saw Mark standing on her left. His deep dark eyes stared at her, gloomy and cold.With a slight shiver, she stepped back a few steps to put distance between herself and Dean.Dean stepped back as well, looking confused and disgusted for kissing the back of a man’s hand. But who was this man?“Who is this?” Dean asked.“A friend.” Summer said nonchalantly. She didn’t even look at him.The storm gathered in Mark’s eyes. His big hand pushed her shoulder into his arm, his eyes glared sharply at Dean and said with his voice deep, “I’m her husband…”Dean froze in place. His mind went blank. Was… Was… Was she married?The rest of them were also surprised. Their eyes involuntarily turned to the man.The man standing there was handsome and tall, looking noble and elegant, instantly captured the heart of the women there.Kayla’s head came closer and asked, “Is that your friend or your husband?”“My friend!”Summer an
Dean was clearly not aware of the situation at this moment, his eyes kept slowly wandering on both of them.Summer’s eyes never rested on Mark for even one second. She just sat there quietly, or talked to Kayla softly.She looked calm, and her smooth skin was faintly glowing in the lamplight, like a bright moon in the night sky, looking so unique among the women.Mark was drawn to her. He stared at her, swirling his wine glass with one hand, then slipping the other hand under the table and holding her hand.Summer was surprised by his action. She glared at him, but she didn’t want to do anything too obvious for the others to notice.He would not let go. He slowly stroked her tender palm with his rough fingers, lowering his voice so low that only she could hear him. “You finally look at me, eh, Mrs. Valentine…”“Let go!” She gritted her teeth, forcing her voice through her teeth.“Aren’t you strong, Mrs. Valentine? You can easily free yourself from my hand. Why do I need to let g
Mark slightly lowered his head and his tall body bent slightly towards Summer and whispered something in her ear with his deep voice. The hot breath fell on Summer’s ear and only she could hear it.“Just sit here and wait for me. When the contract is signed, we’ll leave together…”Summer just glanced at him nonchalantly and didn’t say anything. She tossed the tissue aside and sat down.Then he sat up straight, stood up, and nodded politely at them. “Thank you all for your hospitality tonight. I have a few things to do, so I can’t stay. Today’s bill is on me. Have fun.”He gave Summer a quick glace again before he strode forward.Harry followed him and asked in surprised, “Mr. Valentine, your suit pants…”“It’s okay…” Mark interrupted him directly and walked up the stairs.“Summer,” Kayla exclaimed in admiration, “How do you know such a great guy? Tell me!”Hearing this, the other women who were charmed by Mark were all now looking at Summer, waiting for her response.Summer ju
“The one who ate the apple with Summer. They left a long time ago. They might be home by now.”The vibe emanating from Mark suddenly became cold and gloomy and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, as cold as ice…Kayla felt the frost coming on her face and she couldn’t help but shivered.Without another word, his thin lips closed in a straight line and he walked straight out of the Club Nightshade.As he walked away, a cold wind brushed her face. She couldn’t help but shivered again.But then again, wasn’t there something weird about the relationship between Mr. Valentine and Summer?Why did she think there’s something going on between them?*The car pulled up in front of the building, and Summer thanked him. “Thanks for the ride!”“Don’t mention it. We’re old friends.” Dean smiled.Summer smiled, too. Dean was exactly the same as he was in high school.He was still so pure and honest, and he still blushed when he saw a woman.“I’ll go now. Be careful as you drive hom
Dean was taken aback and looked over. It turned out that it was the man from Club Nightshade. He still looked intimidating, classy, and carried himself well.He did not flinch in the slightest. He straightened his back instead. “Why can’t Summer accept me?”Mark glanced at Summer with a sneer. He was as dangerous as a cheetah, never mind his elegant look. “He calls you Summer? What an endearing way of calling you.”Dean looked him straight in the eyes. “You are not related to Summer. What does what I call her have to do with you?”“Oh, really?” Mark’s lips turned up in a sneer, his expression grim. “She is pregnant with my child for two months. Does this count?”Dean was stunned, standing motionless on the spot. ‘She is pregnant with his child for two months?’A while later, he found his voice, but was still in disbelief. “Is this true, Summer?”“You don’t believe it?” Mark gently stroked Summer’s face as he looked down at her expressionlessly, as if he was about to crush her wi
She lifted her chin and reminded him with a faint smile. “As you said earlier, our marriage is just a transaction, and each one takes what he needs. Since I have no right to interfere in your personal life, then you have no right to interfere in mine. Isn’t it so?”Mark looked at her with his eyes narrowed, looking so cold, as if it could freeze her to death.“Don’t you think what I have said is reasonable?” She was not afraid of him.“You are drawing men to you. Do you expect me to close my eyes on it? Am I dead to you?” he said bitterly.“I am a human, not just a decoration, am I not?” she said slowly.He blew a lungful of smoke and half-closed his eyes as he warned her again with his deep voice. “If you want to keep the child in your womb, don’t cross the line. Understand?”She was nearly tearful because of that choking smoke. Clenching her hands into fists involuntarily, she sneered, “How could I not understand when you use the baby as the bargaining chip?”His eyes became e
Chapter 1814Before Jazz came to pick up Essa, his elder brother told him he should give candies if he was blocked out of the door. The big brother got experience in his own wedding years ago. Jazz kept it in his mind. At the moment, under such circumstances, he generously distributed candies to everyone. Jazz was a smart guy! People were happy with the candies. They let him in and stopped making trouble for him. People were just having fun on their wedding day and making the atmosphere livelier. Essa's wedding dress was custom-made by the most famous designer in Paris. Summer had arranged it for her. It looked gorgeous on Essa. The wedding dress had a fishtail, which set off Essa's slender waist even more as if it could be grabbed in one hand. The dress was low-back, showing her fair skin. Under the light, Essa looked amazing! Essa was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Stepping on her crystal high heels, she walked slowly towards Jazz. The distance wasn't long,
Chapter 1813The neck was Essa's most sensitive spot. She felt itchy if someone touched her there, let alone that Jazz clung tight to there for so long. She could barely stand it. Her body was squirming timidly. "Don't seduce me!" Essa was angry, "I'm not seducing you! Just sleep! But can you not cling to me so tight?" "Why? Are you turned on by me?" Essa was lying with her back to him, her cheeks blushed, and she hissed, "Who is turned on?" ‘What the hell! The man is like a sex machine!’ "Since you are so sure of it, let me check you out." Essa wanted to kill herself, but before she did, she wanted to kill him first! "Are you lying, babe?" Jazz deliberately drawled. "Get away from me! If you don't want to sleep in the guest room, go sleep on the couch! I cannot sleep with you clinging to me so tight!" But Jazz ignored her demand. Essa's whole face had turned red, so red as if it was about to bleed. "Jazz!" "You can be louder. I'm fine with it anyway
Chapter 1812Jazz naturally had no objection because he couldn’t wait to get married. He had always been determined, and as long as he made the decision, he would never change his mind!Now that he had decided to marry her, he must do it!Essa had heard her words. Although she thought it was a little too hasty, she kept silent, giving tacit consent.They were getting married in fifteen days! It was really fast!But because the bridegroom was Jazz, she was not panicked at all. She was calm because cuddling up together with him like this made her feel happy.That night was not easy. Jazz was like a wolf who had been hungry for decades, and he would not let go of the delicious meat that had been put in front of his mouth.They had sex for another whole night. Although Essa was strong, she was no match for a man.Her legs and waist were so weak that she had to support her waist with both hands in order to stand up. She thought Jazz should not have been so horny even if he had hadn'
Chapter 1811Jazz lowered his head slightly and kissed her.Essa could not pretend to be sleeping any longer, so she opened her eyes and pressed her hands against his chest."Morning, baby." He stared at her tenderly and asked, "How did you feel last night? Are you satisfied?"She glared at him, not wanting to speak.But she didn't know her eyes were full of tenderness and love now.After the sex last night, Jazz could not resist such a temptation anymore.He bowed his head, intending to kiss her."Get up! I have to go to work! If you dare to kiss me now, I will definitely beat you up!"Jazz didn't kiss her but shrugged his shoulders.He was not afraid of her threat, but he knew it was her first time last night. He thought he could not ask her to make love again in the morning. Otherwise, she would be too tired.Essa was satisfied to see him give up. She glanced at the time and found she was about to be late, so she didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore.But w
Chapter 1810"Why are you so sensitive?" Jazz smiled lightly, enjoying her current reaction."You’re talking nonsense! You are hugging me too tight. Back away..." She blushed slightly, keeping twisting her body.She had never had such intimate contact with a man before, so she felt hot all over and acted unnaturally."Do you think this distance is too close? We will be closer…"Essa couldn't take it anymore, so she stretched out her hands, pushed against his chest, and said, "Stop it!""Why? You have to get used to this. We will have more intimate interactions, so you have to get used to..."She felt a little scared about such intimate contact.Jazz pressed his body against hers tightly. The scenery outside was blurry at night, and the two of them were alone in the same room, so it was easy for them to become turned on, and sparks were flying between them.His long fingers began to take off her clothes.Soon, she was naked. Jazz picked her up and placed her on the bed."I'm
Chapter 1809Jazz opened the car door for her with a smile and said, "Baby, have an enjoyable time at work."After finishing speaking, he started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and then, the car disappeared without a trace, leaving Essa standing there in a daze.But she still needed to enter the police station to work. Even if she stood here for two hours, she could not solve the problem. There was no point in evading issues, so she decided to get in. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked in, keeping her eyes looking straight ahead.However, even if she didn’t look at others, others would still look at her. Along the way, many people stared at her.They had not expected Essa to be so open. She had actually done such a thing at the gate of the police station!Essa felt her cheeks were burning, but she still forced a smile and tried to be a thick-skinned person.She was hypnotizing herself.When she got into her office, she felt as if she had been flayed by the gazes
Chapter 1808"A few years. Why did you call him a bastard?""You still care about him? I just want to call him a bastard. Don't be silly. There are few innocent men like me. Think about it! It is cost-effective for you to marry me. You have never been married before, and neither have I. To be honest, with my appearance and status, it was not easy to stay single till now. Don’t you think it's very touching?"Hearing this, Essa was completely speechless."It's not touching at all. Are you sure you’re not impotent? Why are you a virgin till now? As you said, you have enough merits to fascinate others!"Hearing this, Jazz on the other end of the phone became sullen and said, "Are you doubting my potency?"Women’s suspicion was the most intolerable thing to men! How could she doubt his sexual potency? It had hurt his pride!"I didn't doubt it before, but you emphasized it over and over again. It is you that made me feel suspicious..." She took a sip of water. Compared to his exaspe
Chapter 1807Essa had told her that Summer was also from an ordinary family. Seeing she and Mark were so affectionate to each other, she felt relieved and believed that Mark was a good man.It was hard to imagine such a handsome man with a high status would be the same as an ordinary man when he was with his family.On the other side of the table, Essa was putting food on Jazz’s plate, while Jazz was picking out fishbones for her. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, showing genuine love to each other.Essa’s mother let out a sigh of relief.After dinner, Mark insisted on sending the three of them home. Essa shook her head repeatedly and rejected because there were a lot of taxis outside the hotel."This is our first dinner together, so we must send you home. In this way, we can know where you live…"Although Mark's words were polite, they had an irresistible sense of solemnity.Jazz had wanted to refuse too, but after hearing Mark’s words, he swallowed the words back.
Chapter 1806Jazz walked over and handed her red roses."You're too high-profile!" Essa kneaded her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache."Don't you like it?" Jazz smiled."I like it very much." She took a deep sniff. The roses were exuding a light fragrance, making her mood good."My brother and sister-in-law want to have dinner with you and your family tonight. Do you want to meet them?"Essa blinked, "Didn't we meet before?""Yes, but it's not formal. This time, it will be a formal meeting at the Grande Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening…"Essa rubbed her forehead, then went home, and told her mother about the dinner. Her mother was a little worried. She had only met Jazz before, and Mark was a big shot that she could only see on TV. When he suddenly wanted to meet them, Essa’s mother felt nervous.Essa kept comforting her, saying there would be no problem because Mark was very approachable and easygoing.She then changed her clothes and put on makeup. Later, Jazz
