As Summer was cutting potatoes, the door opened and Mark walked in. She smiled and said, “Welcome back.”“Yea…” Mark responded lightly, his eyes giving her a meaningful stare.Summer did not notice it. She bustled around in the kitchen in an apron. “Wash your hands first. The food will be ready soon.”Mark did not move. He leaned aside, moving his thin lips, and asked in a deep voice, “Why didn’t you use the card I gave you?”Summer, still holding the spoon in her hand, paused slightly at Mark’s question and said, “I am not in need of money, and I am not really buying anything, so I did not use it. Do you need the card? I will get it for you now.”Hearing this, Mark’s anger, which had been building up all day, was on the verge of exploding. His face looked sullen and his eyes were as cold as ice, staring at her coldly as if he could see through her mind.She was lying…He gave her the card before she borrowed money from Sherman. Since she already had the card, why did she borrow
“…Thanks for your compliment, I shall begin my work!”Summer started typing quickly.Now there were not many courses. So it was easier to prepare for the lecture because there was less content.The big room was very quiet, except for the sounds of her tapping on the keyboard, echoing through the room.It was nothing to her before, but now it seemed to her that even the typing was so clear and loud.After a while, the lesson’s preparations were finished. She did not feel hungry, nor did she feel sleepy, so she sat down on the sofa, and turned on the TV.She had little interest in sitcoms, soap operas, or comedies, and when she switched to the legal drama, she pressed the ‘play’ button.The length of the legal drama was not short. The complete story lasted about one hour.By the time Summer looked up at the French quartz clock in the living room, it was 10:30 p.m.She usually went to bed at ten o’clock, and it was now past that time, and yet she did not feel hungry until now.G
She got sick, and he rushed from home to help her, and he lied to Summer, and he waited for her to wake up. She should be happy for what he had done for her, but now she did not feel that way.Mark was not one to tell a lie…He did not have to lie to Summer. He could have said two things to Summer like how he previously does; the first thing was, she did not have the right to ask, and the second thing was, to just tell Summer she was in the hospital.But he did not choose any of the two options. He chose to lie.That is to say, he was deliberately hiding the truth. As for why he would hide it, it was obvious that he did not want Summer to know.It was clear that Mark had some feelings for Summer at this point.Before this, she had stubbornly refused to accept the situation, but now she had to believe it.There is one saying that is true. Time can develop everything, including feelings.Mark and Summer slept together at night and ate together during the day. They would only get
Over the past few days, her favor for Raine has increased sharply, while her favor for Summer has plummeted.Mark’s long, slender fingers rested on his forehead and gently kneaded it. “She does not know you are in the hospital. If she did, she would not have done so. She has always been very kind,” he said in a deep voice.Kind? Yvette laughed at the word but didn ot show it. “Mark, you married her for the baby. When are you going to divorce her after the baby is born?” she asked.This kind of woman was not suitable to be a daughter-in-law of the Valentine family!She has only been married to Mark for a short time, and the Valentine family became so fragmented because of her. If this goes on, what will become of the Valentine family?Besides, a woman like that was not good enough for Mark. Get a divorce, the sooner the better!A wave of unexplained irritability welled up in Mark’s heart. His handsome face was somewhat sullen, casual and sulky. He instinctively repulsed the subjec
She went to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic. There were a lot of people. She sat on the bench and waited.Aside from her, there were two other nurses sitting on the bench, chatting.“All right, I will talk to you later. I am going to change Mrs. Valentine’s dressing,” one of the nurses said, standing up.“Which Mrs. Valentine? You sound respectful,” asked another nurse.“How many Mrs. Valentines are there in Santabaca?” The nurse asked back.“Right. There is only one Mrs. Valentine who can live up to the name, the power and the money. She is a very important patient. Don’t waste your time here. You had better go now.”The words fell on Summer’s ear, loud and clear. Mrs. Valentine, was that not Yvette?But when was she admitted to the hospital?She really should pay a visit to Yvette because, after all, Yvette is her mother-in-law.However, she and Yvette were at odds with each other. If she went to visit her, she would be reviled and embarrassed.But then she thought aga
“I will leave after peeling the apple for you. But there are people coming in and out, don’t you worry about damaging your image when others see you like this?” Summer said nonchalantly.This remark struck Yvette right on her weak point. The anger was trapped in her chest with no way to release it, making her uncomfortable.After peeling the apple, Summer put it on a plate and got up to leave.The anger trapped in her chest was finally released. Yvette reclined in the hospital bed, patted her chest and yelled, “Get out of here! Now! You had better keep your face out of my sight!”Jazz went to America because of her. Right now, she did not want to see Summer, not even once.Summer laughed. Who did she think she was? Did she think she really wanted to appear in front of her?She was really asking for trouble. She did not have to visit her at all. Why bother?She was polite and respectful to Yvette, but Yvette did not value it at all. This time, she really made the wrong decision!
Compared with other pregnant women, she seemed to have a smaller belly, but slightly pointed and slightly round, which was beautiful.There was a tiny life inside. It was a really subtle, strange feeling.He ran his big hand over the clothes and finally chose two for her, a long dress and a loose T-shirt.They were not designer clothes, but they were comfortable. At the cashier, Summer took out the money before Mark and handed it to the cashier.Mark’s handsome, gentle face immediately turned sullen and his eyes narrowed. How much did she hate his money?He did not explode in anger. He just watched quietly as Summer took the change and the paper bag.The total cost of the two clothes was $220, and the quality and fabric were soft to the touch.Summer was pleased with her purchase. After all, pregnancy only lasted for a few months. There was no need to buy expensive clothes.She only needed them for a few months, and she was definitely not going to wear them again.The atmosphe
Seeing how angry he had gotten, she believed he had left. However, when she stepped out of the shopping complex, she spotted him leaning against his car. A cigarette in between his fingers, he looked elegant and charming, standing out from the crowd.Her eyes glinted with emotion, and her lips quivered. Just as she wanted to speak up, she saw him getting into the car after eyeing her. Swallowing back what she had wanted to say, she walked over and rode shotgun. He started up the engine, released the clutch, and stepped onto the accelerator as he made a graceful left turn and drove into the traffic. It was apparent to her that he was still mad. His thin lips were set in a grim line, and he remained silent as he drove quietly. It felt slightly dreary, so Summer decided to speak up to break the awkward silence. She asked, "What do you feel like having for lunch?" As if he did not hear her, she was only responded with silence. "Or, will you be heading back to the office?" sh
