Instinctively, Raine’s body moved a little closer to the source of warmth. She was weak and hurt like a broken doll.The chill that hit Summer grew colder and colder, from the wet clothes to the deepest part of her body. She cowered there, shivering while looking coldly at the intimacy between them.She was cold, but there was no one to hold her. She was afraid, and there was no one to pat her and say to her, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” She was in pain, but there was no one to soothe her…Because her husband was so affectionate with another woman that he had no time for her. He might see her as an executioner in his heart, the executioner who had hurt the woman he loved to such an extent!She curled into a ball and kept shivering, burying her head between her knees.Even though she did not like Raine, she was happier than anyone to see her alive.Because if anything had happened to Raine, everyone would think that Raine died at her hands, and Raine would still be alive if she ha
The fists hanging on both sides of her body slowly tightened; struggling, hesitating, and finally, slowly, she said, “I…”But before she could finish her words, Raine had a bout of dry heaving, holding her cheeks in her hands and crying out in pain and suffering.She was not undiscerning. She knew that it was not appropriate to speak further in such a situation.His eyes swept over her coldly. When he heard the soft cough, his handsome face turned grim and cold at once, but softened again as he gazed at Raine.Swallowing back the words, Summer raised her head and looked silently out of the cave.It was clearly still raining outside. She could hear the rain even as she sat in the cave.Who knew how much time had passed. It was after two hours, perhaps three hours, when they finally heard the sound of footsteps approaching.Mark furrowed his handsome brow, his tall body stood up, holding Raine, who was unconscious in his arms, and he walked out of the cave.It must be the rescuer
She could not be frightened in such a situation, instead, she had to keep calm. If she was scared, what about her baby?She was the only person her baby had, and she could only rely on her baby. She felt the pain as she thought of that man, her hands clutching the blanket on her tightly, and a tear ran down the corner of her eye…“We will do our best!” The doctor comforted her and began to prepare.She fell into a coma shortly after the anesthetic was administered. The doctor started the emergency operation and the red light in the operating room went on.On the other sideThe red light of the operating room was still on.Mark’s masculine body sat on the bench, his eyes darting toward the emergency room from time to time. The staff came up to him with a brand-new suit. “Mr. Valentine.”He responded lightly, quickly changed into his new clothes and came out, when the thin figure of that woman suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.His thin lips moved slightly, wanting to ask so
But, in any case, it was a miracle, an unbelievable miracle!After a round of examinations and prescribing the medicine, the doctor suggested that she needed IV fluids. She wanted to take it back to the mansion, and the doctor agreed.Accompanied by the doctor and nurse, she returned to her mansion in a wheelchair. After the IV solution was hooked at the stand, the doctor left, leaving only the nurse.She was the only person in such a big mansion, and her husband was in the hospital with his lover…Did she hate him?At this moment, she no longer hated him. He should be accompanying the woman he loved, and she was just a stranger.Their marriage was just a deal from the start. She did not abide by the terms of the deal and sank deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of love.He did not love her. He had a woman he truly loved...So, let it be over. Either way, it was over.She sat there writing, and then paused for a moment, and then continued writing. It was a process of pain, nu
“I heard that she fell off the cliff and was cut by branches and stones, leaving her with wounds like that.”“Anyway, it’s really too bad. Such a beautiful face was wounded so severely!”When she heard it, she could not help but touch the right side of her face. The skin, once fair and smooth, was now left with crisscrossing wounds.The door opened and Mark walked in. The doctor had just treated the wound on his back. His face turned grim as he saw what Raine was doing. Hearing footsteps, Raine looked up and saw him coming. Her lips tried to force out a smile. “You’re back…”It was just that, the smile was actually not very pleasant. She was trying too hard to fake it.“Yes...” With a soft reply from his thin lips, Mark sat down opposite her, his big hand brushing back the hair that fell scattered on her cheek, and he said in a deep voice, “Stop smiling…”With a slight shock, Raine stopped smiling and said, “Mark, do I look terrible right now?”“No, you are as beautiful as eve
Mark raised his deep eyes, moving from Raine, who was a little unsteady and very agitated, to Summer, who was stubborn. He frowned; moving his thin lips, and said, “You, go back first…”Summer had no intention of leaving. She looked him straight in the eye and continued, “My words will be brief. I can finish them in two sentences.”Raine, however, apparently did not want to hear a single word from Summer at this point, and her chest heaved violently as she coughed achingly under pressure.Mark was still frowning. “You go back first. We’ll talk about it later…” There was a hint of impatience in his tone.Summer, of course, recognized the impatience in his tone. With a sarcastic curve of her lip, she took the divorce agreement out of her bag and handed it to Mark, saying, “Not later. Just sign here and I’ll leave immediately.”Mark’s long fingers gripped the document in his big palm. When he saw the few words, his big hand clenched the document and his eyes stared at her grimly.“W
She walked alone down the street, and across the sidewalk. Holding an umbrella, she slowly made her way through the busy crowd. She seemed to be the only one who was so down and out.Suddenly she heard a song. She stopped and stood still, listening.“But you didn’t have to cut me offMake out like it never happened and that we were nothingAnd I don’t even need your loveBut you treat me like a stranger and that feels so roughNow you’re just somebody that I used to know…”She heard this song before, but she did not expect to hear it again now, in this state of mind, with this tearing pain in her heart.Now you’re just somebody that I used to know…Somebody that I used to know… These few words described her situation so vividly. She really thought it was heaven at first, but it ended up like this.She did not know how long she had been standing alone on the street until she realized how cold she felt. She came out of her trance. The rain had soaked through all her clothes.The r
Raine was so agitated that her body, which had not yet recovered, was even more fragile. She was so angry that she could not breathe.The doctor came in, gave her IV fluids and some more instructions, and then left.Mark’s handsome face had been grim and calm since Summer left. He did not speak again after she left.Lying in bed, Raine’s eyes flickered over him. A glow of joy rose in her heart. He signed the divorce papers!But then she thought of her own face, and the glow in her look and eyes dimmed again.She did not care about looks, but who would not care when a woman’s face was ruined like that?Mark got up from the couch and was striding his long legs out of the ward.Raine, who was half-leaning on the bed, sat up and stared at the figure, and asked, “Where are you going? I… Have nightmares…” Her voice was hoarse.He turned around and his eyes fell gently on her. In a deep voice, he answered, “I’m going to have a cigarette. I’ll be back soon…”“You can smoke right here,
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
