“But your office and my school are in opposite directions.” “I will send you to school first, only then I go to my office.” He raised his voice, which was deep and magnetic. “That will be a waste of time. I will just take the bus from here.” The two places were in opposite directions. Sending her to the school and then returning to his office made little sense. But Mark ignored her argument. He just nodded to Harry, motioning him to drive. Upon seeing this, Summer frowned and glanced at him a few times. He did not even listen to what she said. The car started and was driving forward at a steady pace. It did not take long before the car stopped outside the school. Summer thanked Harry first, then looked at the man next to her. “Don’t move your arms. If anything happens and needs to go, Harry will help.” Mark’s lips curled upwards and nodded. Obviously, he appreciated what Summer said to him. Harry looked at the two in the rear-view mirror. Something told him that the r
At this moment, there came the sound of footsteps, followed by a surprised voice. “Summer?” Hearing this, Summer brazened it out and looked over awkwardly. “Amy?” Amy Dawson and she were in the same office. Everyone called her GM, short for General Manager, behind her back, because she liked to poke her nose around and had a finger in every pie. Other than that, she was a nice person. “I didn’t expect that it was really you, Summer.” Amy let out a smile, looking at her in surprise. Summer blushed even more. She smiled back awkwardly, but did not know what to say. Fortunately, Amy quickly shifted her attention to Mark. She sized him up for a while and said, “This must be Summer’s husband.” Summer said not a word, just nodding awkwardly. “I have only been away for a while, not knowing that so many things have happened. I didn’t even get to eat your wedding candy. Summer, shouldn’t you and your husband treat us to a makeup dinner?” She was her colleague. It was entirely no
Yvette had been fit to be tied for the past few days because of Summer. When she heard Raine telling her this, she blew her top. After drinking another glass of water, Yvette’s heartbeat gradually normalized. She had guessed it right; Summer was indeed a scheming woman. How could Summer manipulate Mark if she was not a scheming woman? She then glanced at Raine a few times, carefully studying her. But seeing her calm look that was devoid of emotional disturbance, Yvette figured that Raine no longer loved Mark. Otherwise, how could she remain so indifferent? After a while, she asked casually. “Where is he? Did he come back these days?” Raine knew whom Yvette was talking about. “No.” “He never came home for the past few days?” Yvette furrowed her willow brows. “Yeah.” Raine hesitated for a moment and then decided to tell her the truth. “Jazz has gone abroad. He has gone to Athana.” Yvette’s eyes widened. She almost could not believe it. “What did you just say? Say it aga
Yvette’s hatred toward Summer was growing and had reached a certain level. “Yvette, have you so quickly forgotten what the doctor told you? You have got to keep a good mood at all times.” Raine poured her a glass of water. “In the end, there is nothing like family, no matter how good outsiders are. Raine, thank you for this time.” Yvette was drinking the water when something inspired her. She didn’t expect that Raine would become her critical support at the most critical moment. At this moment, she was completely grateful to Raine, and was no longer resentful of her, unlike previously. After all, her resentment for Raine was not as bad as her hatred for Summer. There was an indifferent smile on Raine’s face. “Don’t mention it, Yvette. We are family. By the way, should I tell Mark about your hospitalization?” “Don’t tell him. I would like to see how long he takes to remember that he still has a mother.” Thinking of Jazz, the expression on Yvette's face dimmed again. “Rai
“Summer is really lucky. I saw her husband this morning; he is charming, well-built, and carries himself well, more flamboyant than TV celebrities. He is rich and handsome. Summer is so lucky, so blessed.” Amy made no secret of her envy and jealousy. “Get a grip on yourself. Not everyone is that lucky to meet such a rich and charming guy. Summer is one in a million.” “I can see that Summer and her husband are a loving couple. They kissed at the school gate in front of everyone in the morning. I never knew that she was so open-minded.” “Some students even took photos of them kissing. I saw them all. Summer is really open-minded.” The teachers were talking and laughing. While they were at it, Summer came in, still holding a cell phone in her hand, as she had just called Mark. She said that Mark had one last meeting, which might take 20 minutes, but he had asked his chauffeurs to come and pick them up, and the location has been set. “Can we go now?” Amy looked at Summer. The m
The entire Solitude was built on the water, and it could match with those floating structures during ancient times. The long corridors were hung with torches with dancing fires reflected off the calm lake surface. It exuded a sense of elegance, classicism, serenity, and depths. No wonder so many people loved this place. The servers walked out and greeted them to a fan-shaped wooden door made of bamboo, which had some writings on it. As they entered, they were greeted by a new world. In front of them was a long bamboo dining table, surrounded by pale white flowers that gave out a faint, pleasing scent. Directly opposite was the crystal-clear lake they saw on the outside. The lake was covered with reeds. When a gust of wind blew by, the reeds would sway with the wind. Those teachers were seated, and they all exclaimed with wonder over the beautiful sight. Summer was immersed in the beautiful scenery, too. Just then, door opened, and servers started to serve the meal. Almost
This was the first and only time she heard the word pregnancy from him and him mentioning the child since their marriage. “How long has it been?” Amy’s eyes widened. “Three months,” Summer said as she snapped back. “Apparently, you got pregnant before marriage, eh? That’s not bad. It won’t be long before you have a baby in your arms. Do you prefer a boy or a girl?” “A girl.” Summer said with no hesitation, as if she already had the answer in mind. “Why do you prefer girls?” “Girls are adorable, thoughtful, and well-behaved,” Summer said. Amy smiled and shifted her attention to Mark again. “What about you, Mr. Valentine? Do you prefer Summer to give birth to a boy or a girl?” No one had ever asked him such a question. His deep gaze froze, realizing that he had never thought about it. A boy or a girl? He turned his eyes on Summer, staring at her nonchalant face that had a pair of dents in her cheeks. They looked like white pear blossoms. Something tugged at his hear
The man’s gaze became deep and passionate. He grabbed her in his arms and kissed her.Her mind was in a whirl, and by the time she realized what was happening, she was already lying in bed.The next morningWhen Summer woke up, she was alone in the room.Apparently, the man had gone to work. The man’s clothes and her blouse and trousers were scattered on the floor.Besides, there were several balls of toilet paper scattered on the floor, which had dried up.Summer moved her sore body, and sat up from the bed. She got out of bed slowly, cleaning up the mess on the floor with her face blushed.In the middle of cleaning, Solomon called and asked her to come home at noon. He told her that the insurance policy had expired, and that the principal he had paid in those years had been refunded, about $100,000. Solomon wanted her to give it to Sherman.Summer said yes and headed off to school, feeling a little weak. Fortunately, there were no classes in the morning, so she could rest in
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
