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
What she received in return from him was just a cold sneer. He held on to his pen with his slender fingers as he signed the documents. Summer had not felt frustrated. She gave a light smile and said, "I'll count to three, and if you don't answer, I'll just take it as you're not hungry. One, two, three. Okay then, I see that you're truly not hungry. I'll leave you with your documents. I'll go and eat first." Right after, she left the room while smiling. She had even helped to shut his door, oh so considerately. His chiseled face had darkened tremendously. The pen in his grip had almost torn the paper of his documents. He could feel his rage firing up again. He thought, 'She knows I'm angry but why doesn't she try to comfort me? Is that so hard?'As if on cue, his stomach growled. He had felt hungry, but he would never step out of the room right after what happened. Hence, he just sat there with his brows furrowed and struggling with his thoughts. He felt his rage intensifi
Summer would not have believed it if he were to say it was just a coincidence. She thought, ‘There are so many number sequences he could’ve used, but yet he chose ‘1225’. Isn’t that just too suspicious?’ As she thought so, she was certain that the passcode he had set was definitely the digits of Raine’s birthday.She lost the appetite to eat as she looked at the perfect scrambled egg paired with pearl white grains of rice on her plate. She responded softly as she dropped her head, covering the expressions in her eyes. But as she thought of how furious he had been when she wanted to loan money from him, her heart wavered and softened. She had believed that a man must have some feelings for a woman if he got angry at her for not wanting to use his money.But now, a part of her deeply felt that such a thought she had was ridiculous. ‘Back then, if there was a reason why I didn’t want to use his card, it would be because of what he had said,’ she thought.‘But now, it would be
