Mark’s lips started to twitch, and his forehead and hair darkened as if clouds were hanging over him. It was she who deliberately seduced him. Darkness filled the night outside while sizzling hotness permeated inside the room.… The next morning A ray of glaring sunlight shone on her through the window. She opened her eyes and saw a solid wall of chest appear in front of her eyes. Her pupils dilated for a moment. After a while, she snapped back and sat up in bed. The soreness and lack of strength nearly overwhelmed her. She saw clothes of men and women strewn on the floor. It was a mess. It was self-evident what happened last night. But she drew a blank as to what had exactly happened last night. Still, she could not control the anger that boiled inside her, her chest heaving up and down. “Good morning.” The man opened his eyes, lying on his side with his sturdy arms propping up his head. His eyes rolled in his eye sockets as he casually and lazily stared at her.
She pieced the fragmented memories together and finally remembered everything. It was precisely because she remembered that she was so annoyed with herself, feeling angry and ashamed. “Don’t you need me to continue reminding you?” He was so kind and considerate. “The first time around, I was drunk and entered the wrong room, and then that ‘accident’ happened. But this time, it was you…” Besides the soreness all over her body, she had a headache and felt dizzy. Obviously, this was the result of a hangover. She did not want to hear a word from him. Indeed, she was to blame for what happened last night. This thing would not have happened had she not gotten drunk. She ignored him, wrapping herself up with the thin quilt and shuffled into the bathroom. Now she realized she could not really drink. Something would always happen whenever she got drunk. Mark watched her going into the bathroom and then pulled back his gaze. Seeing the mess on the floor, he frowned and made a pho
“Goodbye, Mark!” Charlotte leaned against Summer’s shoulder and waved her hand with a big smile on her face as Mark was leaving for work. The curvature of the corners of his lips increased again as Mark looked at Summer and Charlotte for a while before leaving the apartment with a gentle smile on his face. Summer accompanied Charlotte to practice writing when she fell asleep halfway. By the time she woke up, it was 1:00 pm. Charlotte was also taking a nap. Thinking of Sherman’s abnormal behavior yesterday, Summer was worried for her, and planned to see her at her house. She had few friends, of which Sherman and Grace were the closest. She would not hesitate to give her their support and company whenever they were in trouble. She told Maria to look after Charlotte before leaving. Summer took a taxi to Sherman’s place. After paying the driver, she went upstairs and knocked on the door. Sherman answered the door. She looked horrible with her hair sticking out at all angles, da
“But it really is brazen of her. Doesn’t she have a cell phone or a computer, that she had to use letter paper? Does this make her look more innocent?” Summer shrugged with a sneer. While the two were talking, footsteps approached. Billy walked in with a smile on his handsome face. “Have you had lunch, honey?” Sherman got up and threw the stack of letters and the printed bank statement in front of him. Her body trembled uncontrollably. “Give me an explanation, Billy!” Billy glanced down and his face changed, but it was not obvious. “You searched my belongings?” “Yes.” Sherman stared at him with a sneer. “You are angry that I searched your precious belongings without your permission?” “Of course, not. Why would I be angry? You have every right to do that as my wife.” Billy quickly restrained his reaction and chuckled, walking over to put his hand around Sherman’s shoulder affectionately. Sherman was disgusted and flung his arm away. “What is the bank record all about? Why di
A 30% chance was indeed low. It was 5:00 pm when Summer left the coffee shop. She felt down upon learning how slim her chance of winning the case was. It was lower than what she expected. She hurried back to the apartment, where Charlotte was sitting on the settee watching TV. Charlotte put away the remote control, scurried back into the room, and slammed the door shut. Maria was cleaning the living room when she saw what happened. “Little Miss Valentine was not too happy when she woke up and found that you had gone out without bringing her along. She is still angry now.” “She is irascible indeed.” Summer let out a smile. “Children are like that. When she woke up without seeing you, she cried the entire time, looking for you. At least, the cartoon could divert her attention.” Maria also let out a smile. “Let me go in and coax Charlotte. I will leave you to it, Maria.” Summer stood outside the door and knocked on the door, making a voice that imitated Barney. “Hey, Baby Bop.
Summer’s eyebrows moved slightly when she heard Mark’s voice coming beside her, but she did not look up and continued to do what she was doing. When the basin of grapes was almost washed, she looked up and inadvertently saw that many of the grapes in the bunches in Mark’s and Charlotte’s hands had the skins broken, and grape juice was flowing out. Charlotte must think that it was not fun enough; she picked up the grapes oozing with juice and rolled them up and down Mark’s face. “Mark, don’t move. I am giving you a massage.” Mark raised his brows, his face darkening. Charlotte saw his expression and stopped the dido because she was scared. The next second, Mark’s lips curled up as he picked a grape from the bunch of washed grapes, peeled the skin, and then shoved it under Charlotte’s short sleeves. The wet grape slid down Charlotte’s clothes and she writhed and giggled. Likewise, she grabbed a handful of grapes from the water and stuffed them all in Mark’s black silk shirt.
Maria came into the kitchen and saw Summer squatting there to clean up the floor. “Let me do this, Ms. Hart.”“It is okay. I got this. My hands are dirty anyway.”Maria knew she should not ask, but she could not help herself. “If you don’t mind me asking, why did you and Mr. Valentine divorce, Ms. Hart?”The two of them seemed to be a good match. Besides, they had Charlotte between them. They should be a happy family. So why did they get divorced?Summer’s hands froze for a second. But she quickly regained her composure. “We just divorced like that.”Maria did not ask any further, just feeling sorry for the two of them.Here, in the living room, Charlotte could not seem to calm down. As Mark leaned back and looked at his documents, she straddled his chest, wriggling left and right and feeding him grapes.Summer saw this when she emerged from the kitchen. Mark’s face sank as he read the files, as if he found something amiss in the contract document. He put Charlotte on the settee
“You haven’t changed a bit after four years. You are meaner than ever,” Yvette said with a bitter expression. “Do you really think I am going to believe a scheming woman like you?” “It is okay if you don’t believe me. How about we make an agreement?” A dim light flashed in Summer’s eyes. “What are you trying to pull here?” Summer snickered. “What can I do under your nose when you are so influential in Santabaca? You will find what I am going to propose irresistible.” “I am all ears.” Yvette looked at her warily. “If you can convince your son to give up Charlotte’s custody, I will bring Charlotte to leave Santabaca for good, and I will never appear in front of the Valentine family again. What do you say?” Summers’ calculation was that Yvette could be a strategic piece of chess. Yvette looked at Summer for several seconds. “Why should I trust you? I will trust anyone but you,” she said coldly. She could not agree to Summer’s proposal for two reasons. The first was that sh
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
