Blood from all over her body rushed up to her head in an instant, and Summer felt hot on the palms of her hands and the soles of her feet. Her hands on her sides were clenched up slowly as she broke into a sarcastic smile. “How do you know other men aren’t interested in me? Maybe they are into a woman like me.” “Who would it be? Dean?” Mark forced his words through the teeth in a deep voice. “What do you want before you will return Charlotte to me?” She spelled out the words, not wanting to waste time with him on such a topic again. Was this her tacit admission? Mark looked gloomy, the deep gaze in his eyes turning icy in an instant, and his piercing eyebrows were knitted together. He grabbed her wrist over and looked her in the eyes. “When I get bored with your body, I will consider returning Charlotte to you.” “You have just taught me a life lesson. Have you forgotten it so soon?” She talked back, using what he had just said, and then pushed his hand away with the other h
Bad guy! Stinker! She could not see her mom! He was a big liar! Mark got up to change a spot, now sitting opposite Charlotte and coaxing her with patience. “Open your mouth.” Charlotte’s eyes reddened like a poor little bunny. She felt Mark was annoying. Her two little hands slapped indiscriminately, only to hear a clang as the bowl dropped to the floor and broke into pieces. And the hot porridge in the bowl was all spilled onto Mark’s arm, his pants, and shirt. Maria had just cooked the porridge, and it was still steaming. Mark’s arm was fiery red from the burns. Maria was shocked and hurried over. “Here is the towel, Mr. Valentine.” Charlotte knew she was in trouble, her body curled up tightly in the settee’s corner, as she was too afraid of looking at Mark. Mark took the towel, but he did not clean up the spilled porridge on his body. Instead, he picked up Charlotte and moved her to a clean spot. “Are you hurt?” he asked. He was not angry, his voice deep, but gentle.
Maria was struck dumb, not knowing what Mark was doing. A huge German Shepherd was squatting in the living room, baring its teeth and growling. Mark was sitting at the dining table with Charlotte on his lap. Charlotte was in fear, her two hands clenching on Mark’s clothes in front of his chest. Mark then delivered a spoonful of porridge over, and Charlotte opened her mouth and ate. She no longer resisted. Maria was even more dumbfounded. She had asked Mark to coax Charlotte, not to frighten her like this. Mark brought out a big dog instead of talking to Charlotte nicely and coaxing her. Even Maria was frightened at seeing the big dog, let alone Charlotte. But she could understand that; few men knew how to coax children. This method obviously worked well. Charlotte had finished an entire bowl of porridge. Handing the empty bowl to Maria, Mark carried Charlotte back to the room, put her on the bed, and took off her shoes. “Go to sleep.” Charlotte peeked at the dog in t
"Wipe your tears first..." He took out his cell while staring at his cutie.The moment the little girl saw it, she wiped her tears away quick as a flash, sitting still like an obedient little puppy, waiting for him to dial the number.With his gaze fixed on her, Mark dialed the cell, and the line was connected after a few seconds.Before he could react, Charlotte immediately snatched the cell away from him and pressed it to her ear. She yelled in a mild yet aggrieved tone, "Mommy, I miss you so much. When will you bring me home?"The moment Summer heard her cutie's tender and soft voice, she felt as if her heart was lifted in an instant. "Mommy will bring you home soon. Have you taken any meal?" She sounded gentle and affectionate.Initially, when she saw his number on the caller ID, she had wanted to decline the call as she thought of the humiliations she had gone through in the afternoon. Luckily, she did not do that!"I did, Mommy. I had a bowl of mushroom soup..." What Charlo
Charlotte, with her little pink tongue stuck out, was looking at Kaka in curiosity. She then imitated Mark as she called Kaka.Kaka was wagging its tail happily as if it knew she was its young master. It gently bit her clothes, then rolled on the ground with its belly facing upwards.Charlotte giggled as she felt it was funny. She stuck out her little butt and gave Kaka a good pet.Not until she had enough fun did Mark take her back to the room. After setting her on the bed, he laid his willowy body next to her."Can I play with Kaka again tomorrow?" She tilted her head."Can..."Upon hearing his approval, she pushed her luck a little bit further. "But I want to go to the park with Mommy tomorrow, is that okay?"Mark raised his eyebrows and said nothing.Despite being at young age, Charlotte knew how to please others. She leaned over and kissed Mark on the cheek. "Uncle, please?" Her voice was tender and soft.Mark was slightly startled; his heart melted the second he felt the
Fortunately, Charlotte did not have difficulties sleeping on a different bed in a different room. She did not take long to fall into her slumber, likely because she had been worn out by her sobs and the ruckus she raised for the day.Suddenly, Mark's cell emitted a dim blue light, followed by vibration. He bent his arm to pick it up, got up, walked to the French window, and answered the call, "Mom..."He purposely kept his husky voice down as he was afraid that the little one on the bed would wake up from her slumber."Why are you speaking so softly?" Yvette, of course, noticed it.His thin lips moved. "I've just woke up. What makes you call me at this hour?" said the man in a casual tone."Mark, how's your Grandma's recovery lately? I'm thinking of visiting her in Athana," Yvette said."You don't need to go to Athana. She is almost fully recovered and will return to Norwood in a few days."Mark's words took a weight off her mind. "Oh good. I was kept in the dark because I could
The little girl who was drowsy and could not wake up no matter what he tried just now was now energetic. She held a handful of kibbles in each hand and said, "It's meal time, Kaka." Her voice was sweet and tender.Kaka wagged its tail briskly. It was much taller than Charlotte. The ferocious and majestic dog lowered its head while licking her little palms, quietly enjoying the kibbles."Wow, Kaka is awesome!" Charlotte's smiling eyes became crescent like, her rosy cheeks full of excitement. Series of loud clapping sounds were heard as she was brushing her two little hands together.Upon seeing this, Kaka was also excited. It leaped, resting its front paws on Charlotte's shoulders, her tongue licking her small face.The little girl was playful. Maria was left with no choice but to squat in front of her while holding her breakfast plate and patiently fed her.Charlotte did two things—playing with Kaka and having breakfast—simultaneously, without neglecting any.Mark's deep eyes fil
Mark could read all her thoughts on that little face of hers. Her eyes were obviously telling him, 'Hurry up and leave already!''You are not going to work?' Charlotte's heart was a little distressed. She was thinking about complaining to her Mommy and badmouthing him. There was no way she could do that if this Uncle Rascal refused to leave."Uncle, isn't your partner looking for you today?""He is not coming...""Uncle, do you have other things to do?""No...""So you must tag along?""Yes...""Uncle, Mommy and I are girls, and Uncle is a boy. That's very inconvenient.""It's okay...""Oh!" Charlotte's little head drooped with a wilting look. She stopped asking.As for Mark, his handsome countenance turned grave. 'Just how much you wish me to leave. Don't you want my company?'Suddenly, Charlotte's eyes lit up with joy. All her gloominess fled. She happily tapped the car window with both hands and yelled softly, "Mommy! Mommy! I'm here! Here!"Apparently, Summer saw her t
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
