Yvette thought, 'I can't possibly suggest to mom directly for Raine to tag along. That would be too improper, but maybe I could secretly...'Passing over the schedules and itineraries she prepared, Ms. Moore ordered, "You should help them pack as their mother for them to get ready and leave as soon as possible."When she heard her mom’s orders, Yvette's eye twitched in anger as she scoffed quietly to herself. She angrily thought, 'I will never help Summer pack. Unless pigs could fly, there was no way in h*ll I would.'However, she still reached out and took over the itineraries. She desperately wanted to know where they were headed for their honeymoon Summer had heard Yvette's voice coming from the living room while she was in her room. In an instant, she had lost the desire to step out of her room. She was willing to skip her breakfast just to avoid meeting with Yvette. She did not want to ruin her mood for the day so early in the morning. She sat still in her room and wait
He didn't enter the elevator. He just stood by the door, as though he was waiting for her.Stepping over to him, she pushed the documents into his arms, and without saying anything else, she turned and left. The words had hung right onto his lips as they twitched, but before he could utter them, her slender figure had gone out of sight. She had even shut the door.‘How dare this woman!' he thought.His brows seem to be knitted tighter. He glared at the door as if he had wanted his gaze to pierce through the door and through her. Ms. Moore waved to her, signaling for Summer to sit close to her, and she said gently, "Your mother-in-law doesn't really have a good temper as she was spoilt since young. So, don't take what she does or says to heart. You can just brush her off after. She's already in her late 40s. I don't think she's able to change how she is now, so you might have to just bear with her.""No, I think she's fine," Summer replied. Ms. Moore is Yvette's mother after a
"Are you referring to yourself as other women?" he felt inexplicably angered by her words and blurted out what he had thought. "No, I'm not, but since we're just in a contract-bound relationship, you didn't have to be so nice to me." A cold 'hmph' come from his lips. Mark's handsome features darkened, and his expressions looked more solemn when he heard her say 'contract-bound.’ As she knew what she had said was all true, she ignored him. Their destination was Bonimel, and their accommodation had been taken care of. It was a white, beautiful, and spacious villa. Putting down her luggage, she tidied up the room a bit before showering and changing into her pajamas. Mark then came into the room. He was also dressed in his pajamas. "Isn't there a room next door?" she furrowed her brows as she asked, explicitly showing her unwillingness in sharing a room with him.Seeming as if he wanted to pick a fight with her, he said, "There is, but so what? I do not have the intention of u
However, Mark showed no signs of shock towards her arrival. His brows tightened as his gaze turned deep. “Why are you here?”Smiling, Raine answered, “Grandma told me that the both of you were here, that’s why I came along as well. Besides, I heard good things about the scenery here. The view is gorgeous throughout the whole year.”The corner of Summer’s lips curled upwards as she listened to what Raine had to say. Behind her smile was nothing but scorn and coldness.‘It could all be a lie; she could have other motives…’“What about your recovery?” His brows remained knitted with complexity. His expression was unreadable.“I’m feeling much better now. The doctor said that I’m okay now. I could even run.” His concern had Raine feeling like she was on cloud nine.Summer clenched her fist as she Listened to them talk like they were the only two people in the room. Her fingers were digging into the palm of her hand, but the pain was the reason that she could have a sense of clarity.
This time, Raine’s expression started turning dark as she responded, “Sorry, I really had no idea you hated me this much.”“It’s the truth. I do not like you at all. Your heart is big, you’re generous, and you can tolerate a lot of things. But sadly, I can’t. I have a small heart, and I am not as open-minded as you. Naturally, I am not a tolerant person. Right now, I am his wife, and you are his aunt. But you still stepped into our relationship. I don’t care how strong your relationship was with him, but you are still a homewrecker!”Raine always had a high social status. As soon as she heard the word ‘homewrecker’, she bit hard into her lips, leaving a mark. “Enough.” A deep voice echoed in the room as Mark finally broke his silence. His response was directed at Summer.Summer smiled sarcastically as she looked at him, “Are you heartbroken?”Mark’s charming face had a deep expression, but he showed no signs of anger. He just responded deeply with the words, “Don’t cross the line
Mark did not respond. He just stared deadly at Summer as if he wanted to pierce her with his gaze. Summer did not back down and stared back at him. “The marriage started as a deal. Ending it would not be difficult. If Mr. Valentine thinks a divorce would tarnish your reputation, we can divorce a year after the baby is born. I do not want any of your fortunes. The only thing I want is this baby. The relationship progress between the two of you is none of my business. You can do whatever you want.” He responded coldly through his gritted teeth as he said, “You must have taken your time to think about this. Everything seems well thought out.” “Of course.” Summer nodded as she continued, “I can’t help it. I really hate the situation I am in right now. I also really, really hate her. You could even call it resentment. I don’t even want to see her face; I would lose my appetite just by looking at her.” Of course, Summer was referring to Raine. But she was just exaggerating. She did
Pain. She was in excruciating pain. He exerted so much strength that it felt like he was about to crush her shoulders with his bare hands. Summer knitted her brows tightly as her face turned as pale as a ghost.Just when she thought her shoulders were falling apart, Mark finally let go. His handsome face was no longer grim. It was just blank and distant. He was so cold as if he wanted to push everyone miles away.He did not speak to Summer, nor did he look at her. He just took a big stride forward and left the villa.Raine, who was as invisible as thin air, was standing next to them. Seeing him leave, she chased after him without the slightest hesitation.Summer was left alone in the villa, which was filled with dead silence.The Mark who left just now felt like the Mark she knew when they first met. Worse, he was even colder than he was when they first met. It felt like it was coming out of his bones. At the same time, she knew, from the bottom of her heart, that Mark was compl
Nothing was spoken between the two as the air remained still. After some time, Raine broke the silence and said, “Do you know why I fell down the stairs the other day?” Mark’s gaze shifted slightly. His tone was oddly cold and flat. “Why?”“Summer and Yvette got into an argument that day. I am not going to deny that it was Yvette who brought up the contradictory topic. But there was also no denying that Summer pushed her. I wouldn’t have fallen otherwise,” said Raine. Never in a million years would she have thought that she would become such a despicable person. Mark’s eyes remained deep as he responded coldly, “It’s in the past. There is no point talking about it anymore.”His words caught Raine off guard as she was not expecting him to say something so apathetic to such a matter.She thought he would start questioning about the incident that day and find out the cause of the fight. After all, it was his own biological mother whom Summer pushed down the stairs!His actions sho
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
