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
He took off his rubber gloves while stepping out of the kitchen, and he asked, "My dear wife, I've done the dishes. Would you like to give it a check?" There was a faint tone of pride in his deep and husky voice. However, as he stepped into their room, he realized she was no longer there, and only silence filled the room.She had only left a moment ago, but he couldn't help but feel empty like something was missing. He was not used to it.Alas, neither did he realize nor did he give any thoughts to the feelings and thoughts which appeared at that moment. ...Amara wasn't even any close to giving birth yet, but Daisy had already started to knit baby clothes, socks, and even a blanket for them. "Mom, we could just buy all this stuff, there is no need to do it yourself," Amara said as she lay on the couch comfortably while eating some fruits. "Sure, we can but making something ourselves carries a whole different meaning. It carries extra love and warmth," Daisy smiled as she re
Madam Hamilton was extremely displeased with her daughter-in-law. It was as if her son's wife was a monster of some sort. She said, "You haven't even seen how much she spends. It is as though her family ran a bank! She changes into three outfits a day, and she just can't stop buying more. She goes out shopping every single day, and I just feel so annoyed whenever I see her." Gradually, Yvette had given in as she thought about the displeasure she felt from Summer. She scoffed coldly as she said, "Yours is still better than mine, I would say." "Huh?" Madam Hamilton asked curiously, "What's wrong with yours?""She's rude, acts improper, and her personality isn't that nice either. When I was hospitalized, not only did she not empathize with me, she even started an argument with me! I was so enraged that I felt out of breath!" Appearing mad, Madam Hamilton responded, "Oh gosh! I heard she's also from a regular family. It must've been her luck and blessings from her past life that ble
"Hurry up and stop eating, aren’t you supposed to bring back some pumpkin soup for Yvette?” said Daisy.Not feeling at all anxious, Summer replied, “She’ll be alright even without me; besides, there are so many kitchen staff in Valentine Mansion, they wouldn’t be stumped by a bowl of pumpkin soup, would they?”Smack!A slap landed right on Summer’s back. “That’s too much, hurry up and go!” Daisy took away her cutlery.‘She doesn’t even show me any mercy. I wonder if I’m really her biological daughter!’Daisy gave her a good stare, “What are you waiting!”“Am I not walking?” Summer sighed helplessly as she left.She headed first to the café on Chestnut Lane but was shocked to find a long queue.‘Had business always been this superb?’Unable to do a thing, Summer could only wait in line.After nearly an hour, she finally managed to get the pumpkin soup and had the café staff packed it in a thermal case.Immediately, she got into the car, headed straight to Valentine Mansion.
“What I said is true, there’s certainly no flattery in it.”They began chatting like old buddies and completely ignoring Summer as if she was invisible.Unaffected, she stepped forward and handed the milk to Yvette. “Mom, here’s the milk you wanted.”Acknowledging, Yvette slowly sat up on the bed and reached out to receive the milk.As soon as Yvette had reached out, she suddenly let out a scream. Was the milk too hot, or was there another reason?Everyone was surprised and failed to react. “Pa—” the mug that Summer held in her hands fell and shattered on the floor.Some milk spilled on the blanket while some splashed on Summer’s palm. She felt an instant scalding pain, but she gritted her teeth, holding back her pain.Raine and Madam Hamilton quickly rushed over upon hearing the noise and helped to clean up the blanket and the milk spilled on Yvette.Holding back her pain, Summer too tried to help.However, the moment she touched the blanket, Yvette pushed her away. “Get away
