“Come on, he is waiting in the coffee shop opposite our school right now. Just meet him for a while before you go.”Cerys pushed and brought her out of the school.Summer, who was being dragged along, was trying to find an excuse. “I haven’t even washed my face yet, Cerys. Look at my messy hair! I don’t want to frighten him!”“It is fine. No one is going to know that if you don’t tell. Let’s go.”Cerys was a little chubby, almost twice the size of Summer. It looked as if she was taking a kid with her.Summer reluctantly followed her. “I will only show my face, and then I will have to leave, or I will miss the train.”“Deal.”So Cerys brought her into a coffee shop opposite the school.A guy, about twenty-eight, medium-built, an ordinary-looking man, was sitting at the table by the window.As they walked over, and Cerys introduced them to each other. The guy politely held out his hand. “Nice to meet you.”Just as she was about to hold out hers, she saw in her peripheral vision
It was only right for Cerys to leave now. But before that, she did not forget to encourage Summer and the young man to contact each other by phone to get to know each other better.So now Mark and Summer were the only people here. As always, Mark still had no expression on his face. “So this is what a blind date looks like, eh?”Summer said nothing, just biting her lip, waiting for her opportunity.“Did you leave your phone number to every man you met on a blind date?” Mark frowned and felt curious.She took a deep breath, as she could no longer stand this anymore. “I am going to the ladies’ room.”But Mark extended his hand to stop her and then glanced down at the luggage with his piercing eyes. “Why do you need to bring the luggage to the toilet?”She froze and did not want to pretend anymore. “I will not agree to an abortion. Absolutely no!”“Do you think you can defy me?” He threatened her.He hit the nail on the head. She lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth. “You are a
Summer trembled when the warm palm of his hand touched her skin. It frightened her. She did not know what to do.Her racing heartbeat only calmed down after a long while. “Why do you want to marry me?” she spelled out her words.She was not an eighteen-year-old who still fantasized about a fairy-tale relationship anymore.While he had power and money, yielding dominant influence in Santabaca, she was just an ordinary teacher. Not to mention that they had only met six times.The only time they had an intimate encounter was the night when they got drunk and slept together. Had he been fascinated by her body since then?Absolutely impossible. She felt ridiculous just by thinking about it.So why did he want to marry her?There was silence for over ten seconds, and the cigarette between his fingertips still shimmered. He then opened his mouth.“I need a partner to marry. And you, whom I don’t hate, are the best candidate.”Looking at his penetrating eyes, Summer could see a fain
The phone rang for a long while before a drowsy voice picked it up. “Hello?”“You have five minutes. Either you come down, or I go up,” he frowned and said with a no-nonsense voice.He disliked waiting, but today was an exception. He had been waiting for over half an hour, and his patience had run out.Summer was jolted out of her sleep. She gasped in fright. ‘How... how could it be him?’“Five minutes. If you agree, bring your things and come down quickly. If you disagree, we will go to the hospital. Now, there are still four minutes left.”He reminded her again and hung up before she could say anything.He raised his eyebrows, wondering if he was really so frightening to her that she had to gasp in horror at hearing his voice?With one minute left, Summer appeared in front of the black Land Rover. She gritted her teeth and opened the car door.Her hair was pointing everywhere, and there was a stain on the corner of her mouth.Her appearance startled Mark, but just for a seco
She instantly blushed, wishing the ground would swallow her up.Last night, after having her chicken soup, she was too exhausted and crashed out without cleaning herself up.Also, he threatened her in the early morning. She was afraid of waking her neighbors, so she hurried downstairs, not realizing…“Turn the car around!” She patted his seat from behind.“What do you want to do?” He smirked, asking the obvious.“Going back to wash my face.” She was almost whispering.“You know what, Miss Hart, I don’t mind at all. Just keep it this way.” He did not plan to stop the car.Summer could not describe how embarrassed she was. Yet, she could do nothing about him except threaten him. “If you don’t turn around, I am not going to get out of the car at the Civil Registry Office!”Mark scanned the surroundings. He then swirled the car around and stopped on the opposite side of the road.“Get out,” he snapped.“I want to go home!” She looked at the surroundings and shook her head.“Do y
After a moment of hesitation, as if she had been through a bloody struggle with herself, she lowered her head and solemnly put down her signature.This simple procedure changed their relationship tremendously.They went from slightly above strangers to becoming a couple who slept together.It was 8:30 am when they left the Civil Registry Office.The salt grain-like snow had turned into flakes, covering the ground in white.Cold air rushed into her nostrils as she took a deep breath. She could not help shivering.The temperature had dropped so low overnight.But the thought of her going from being single to married overnight made the changes in weather seem to be not much of a surprise.Many things could change overnight.While her mind ran wild, Mark was walking out of the Civil Registry Office with two staff members. They followed him from behind and were very respectful when they spoke to him.Mark opened the car door and motioned for her to get in.She still could not get
“Yes.” He sounded naughty. “Teachers should know how to improvise and adapt. I have full confidence in you, Miss Hart.”“Who told you that a teacher should know how to improvise and adapt? Do you think I am a wild survivor?” She retorted irritably.“You really know a lot.” He started the car and left.‘How could this man be so dictatorial? He never listens to others at all.’ She thought to herself with a frown.But then, she could not deny that he looked charming when he raised the corner of his mouth as he was leaving. Summer got off work and walked out of the school in the afternoon. A middle-aged man in a suit walked up and stopped her.She frowned, wondering what this man was up to. When she was about to ask, the man spoke, “I am Billy Day, Mr. Valentine’s secretary. He asked me to bring you to the apartment.”No wonder. She could not refuse but to get into the car. She first returned home to pack her belongings.Only then she went to the apartment with Billy.It was an exp
Charlie spoke up, “We were there with him as well, so we brought him back.” Flabbergasted, Summer just stood there watching them carry Mark into the bedroom, and they came out after laying him on the bed. “We’ll leave Mr. Valentine in your care now; he’s all yours!” Charlie kicked Billy in the back as soon as the words left his lips. Sighing, he said, “Don’t take his words to heart. We’ll be leaving now. Good night.” With that, he brought blabbermouth Billy along with him and left. Summer then went into the bedroom, and her gaze fell upon the sleeping figure on the bed. To have fallen into his current state, he seemed to have drunk a lot. However, it gave him an extra touch of nonchalance and an air of gracious informality on top of his gorgeous appearance, making him look even more attractive and desirable.Walking over to his side, she bent slightly and took off his leather shoes. She thought to herself, ‘This man always looked so mature and collected. What could have
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
