“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
Yvette stomped; her anger rocketed sky high. “Do you know who you are speaking to?”“Yes of course, I am clearly aware. I always show the same respect to those who respect me and vice versa.” Summer wasn’t overbearing, but her words were full of ridicule.It was only natural to make up with Yvette to safeguard her position in the Valentine family.However, she had none of those intentions; thus, not only didn’t she make up, but she also wanted to rip it further apart.Since young, Yvette had been very pampered. She could not be scolded nor ridiculed; in Norwood, there was no one that wouldn’t want to curry her favor.Ever since she moved to Santabaca because of her marriage, she still commanded the influence of Norwood. Furthermore, with Valentine Group holding majority stakes in Santabaca, no one dared to disrespect her.Who would dare to make her angry?Summer was the only one who had angered her repeatedly; furthermore, spoke such ugly words about her and disgraced her.Stan
The living room was in a mess. Mark witnessed the scene as he entered the living room. He squinted his eyes and first looked at Summer, then at Raine who was lying on the floor.Mark was at a loss about what had happened; She stood still like a rock and stared at her hands in disbelief, whereas Raine was rolling on the floor.Without wasting a moment, he strode forward and quickly carried Raine. He asked calmly, “What happened?”Yvette was still panting due to her shock. At his question, she pointed at Summer. “She pushed her on purpose.”Mark’s expression darkened; his pupils turned black as ink as his sight fell coldly upon Summer.She only wanted to release herself from Yvette’s grip. She didn’t even use any force. As to why it resulted this way, she herself was confused.But, hearing Yvette’s accusation, she felt like laughing.Yet, his icy cold look tore her painful wound even more. It was an excruciating painAt times, there were no need for words; an expression alone was
