“Are you sure you want to leave in this manner? Let me remind you, you’re only going to make the situation more awkward.”Summer sat there without moving; she had no intention to leave. She continued to speak, “since she’s with you, let me ask you a question!”She glanced at Raine and asked, “Do I still have a place in your heart, even if it’s just a slightest bit!”Her voice was loud and clear, enough to be heard by everyone in the café.Since young, Mark had always been the center of attention; however, not in a situation like this.Mark frowned. His expression was already gloomy, and the attention of the crowd made him more irritated.He disliked this kind of situation the most…Without speaking, he tugged at her arm, wanting to drag her outside.But Summer sat firmly, she seemed to be aware of his intentions; furthermore, she added, “Is it so difficult for you to answer such a simple question?”More and more eyes focused on them. Mark could no longer contain his anger and
He readied his steps to go after her, but Raine held him back by his arms. She fixed her gaze upon him, determined to not let him go.Mark frowned and looked at Raine; puzzled by her actions.“I’m asking you one last time; do you still want me?”Raine stretched her beautiful collar and stared at him, her slender fingers turned slightly pale due to the pressure as they dug into his coat.Mark’s lips formed a line and his throat rumbled. When he was about to speak, Raine interrupted.“Nobody understands me better than you do. Did you know how hard was it for me to say such simple words? I feel so ashamed, but I am clearly aware that I would certainly regret it my entire life if I had not said them; and now, I’ve said it the second time…”Tears welled up in her eyes like dewdrops accompanied by a little bit of crying, as she let her fingers slowly cruise downward along her dress.“I specially wore this long dress today that you gave me three years ago even though I was afraid that
“She had made herself clear, yet you still want to go after her. Even though you didn’t answer my question, your silence has made it clear. I’ve come to understand that you no longer want me. Go after her and forget what I have just said…”Raine released her grip on his coat and retreated a few steps and looked at her from a distance.Her tears finally came flowing down, across her smooth cheeks, off her jaw, and disappearing into the ground.Her crying painted a beautiful scene, weak and pitiful, like a girl coming out from a downpour and crying, soaking her eyelashes, and looking more and more pitiful.At that moment, Mark’s pupils were dark as ink; black, deep but intense, calm but demented.At the same time, Summer’s parting words repeatedly surfaced in his thoughts. He was raging as if he breathed fire through his nostrils. He couldn’t wait to strangle her to death!Not far away was Raine who was still in tears. His anger made his mood extremely awful.He looked up at her t
Never in her life would she use this card. Whether it was then or now, all she could do was to surrender to fate.Holding it in her hands, she got up and went to the door. Mark had also walked over. But before they could react, they had bumped into each other.Summer felt her forehead hurt slightly, but it wasn’t anywhere as painful compared to what her heart felt. She lowered her head, held out the card, and handed it to him.Mark snuffed out the cigarette with his fingers and stared at her with his deep black pupils as if he was going to eat her alive. But he didn’t reach out to receive it.“You don’t want it? I will never use this credit card because it only makes me feel disgusted; and if you don’t want it, I’ll toss it into the rubbish bin.”“Disgusted?” Mark uttered in a very deep tone. He stretched out his hand and squeezed her shoulders with his tight grip.No one had ever angered him to this extent, not even Raine!She was the only one who could provoke him, and success
‘In the afternoon, he kissed her passionately in front of the school; but at night, he and Raine visited the jewelry store.His schedule was indeed occupied!He busied himself at work and spent his time between two women. Wouldn’t he become insane?’In the end, regardless of what a man felt or thought, she couldn’t understand anything.As the cold of Spring seeped in, the trees outside the window began to sprout new leaves and the greenery was pleasant to one’s sight.However, it wasn’t visible at night. Nevertheless, although it was early Spring, she still felt the weather was very cold.Summer tossed and turned in bed, not able to fall asleep. She only wrapped herself within her blanket and stared blankly through the window into the dark.In the living room.Smoke filled the air, Mark had not stopped smoking and the stench was very irritating.For some reason, he became more frustrated!He had reduced his smoking frequency to only once a day, but the cigarette box was almos
In the living room, Mark stared at the room door from time to time; he couldn’t fall asleep.But the door never once opened and remained tightly shut.She was in the room while he stayed outside; they both couldn’t sleep, and the quiet atmosphere emitted a feeling of loneliness.The next morning.Summer had not slept the entire night and she didn’t know why; she only felt like she had just closed her eyes for a moment, but when she opened them, the sky was already bright.After she looked at the time, she went into the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, she saw him coming out of the closet.She glanced at him quickly and said nothing; but picked up her bag and exited the room.She was feeling awful; besides, she wasn’t hungry, so she didn’t prepare breakfast but thought of buying some snacks along the way to school.Mark stared at her slender figure and couldn’t refrain himself from feeling more downcast.The moment Summer opened the main door, Raine stood in front of her
Pausing for a moment, Maria quickly added that it was an order from Yvette; that if she didn’t show up, she would personally pick her up from school.At this point, it was no longer reasonable to cause further trouble for Maria.No matter how crafty Yvette was, she was still human and not a tigress. What harm could she possibly do to her?Moreover, she wasn’t afraid of Yvette. Since she had already fallen out of her favor, there was nothing else to be ashamed of!In the afternoon, Summer drove her car directly to Valentine mansion; according to the maid, Yvette was in the room upstairs.She went upstairs and took a corner; there she saw Yvette and Raine approaching her and Yvette looked full of pride.However, Summer was unaffected by her prideful display. Yvette was that kind of woman, the prouder she was, the more loathsome she was.“What do you have with me here?” she went ahead and asked directly, without the slightest doubt.There are some who are truly respectable; yet al
It felt like a sharp blade slashing across her heart; it was an excruciating pain and nevertheless indescribable.Her reaction aroused Yvette’s anger further. She snorted, “What a heartless woman, you must be after the riches of the Valentine family!”Her indifference towards her husband’s affectionate relationship with another woman could only mean that she didn’t love her husband but was only after his wealth.She didn’t refute Yvette’s words for it wasn’t worth the effort. She would only retaliate and made things worse.Therefore, whatever she had in mind; it was best to let her be.Not paying Yvette further attention, Summer turned around and headed toward the stairs.But Yvette wasn’t ready to let her leave; she strode across Summer and blocked her path. Then she scorned, “There is a saying, just as the face is essential to man as bark is to trees, I’ve never seen such a brazen woman. Even though she knows that her husband loves another woman, she doesn’t know when to give u
