The trio didn't talk for long as it was almost time. They hurried to get dressed and put on some makeup. After that, they went to Grace's house as she was determined to get married off from her home. It was 10 when the wedding car arrived. Charlie had always been one who didn't mind spending, so when a limousine pulled over on Grace's street, everyone living there had come to see what the commotion was about. They were gossiping about, and words had spread that the Livingston's daughter is getting married, and they would have a wealthy son-in-law.Charlie had worn a handsome suit. Mark was absent, but Billy had come along. He was also wearing a suit. However, it was noticeable that Billy had looked much different from before. He used to be wild and had loved to hype up any parties or celebrations, but he hadn't done much. Even though he had looked more mature, but Summer felt as if he had changed. He was not who he used to be. The people fooled around and played some mini-g
"If he hasn't betrayed or cheated on you, no matter physically or mentally, after four years, and you had decided to forgive him for what he has done before, I don't see why you guys can't?" Sherman smiled softly and replied, "To be honest, I think what you have with Mark is much simpler than Billy and I. Even though you guys had gotten married with a contract, he filled you in on what happened before. Even though they had been slightly intimate a few times after Raine came back..." "What they did was not too over the line for adult relationships. If it was not for Mark being a hygiene freak and the familiarity of his body to yours, he would've slept with Raine and would not have pestered you so many times." Summer had heard too much about him from Sherman and Grace alone. She had only smiled as a reply. "If someone like me can give Billy a second chance, I don't see why you can’t give Mark one, especially since you still love him. What he did was not as cruel as Billy and besi
When Billy returned to the hall, Summer was getting some desserts for Charlotte while Sherman was sitting on the couch alone. He wrapped his arms around Sherman's shoulders and asked, "Do you feel like having anything? Any desserts or fruits? I'll grab some for you." "Maybe some fruits will do," she smiled and replied after waking from her trance. "Okay, wait here," he got up and went to get pieces of every fruit. When his arm was lifted, Sherman noticed the purple sandalwood bracelet he wore on his wrist. His expression was unwavering, and he smiled as he replied, "Honey, do you remember Mrs. Woods, the secretary in our office?""What about her?" she asked. Sherman knew Mrs. Woods. She was Billy's assistant, and she was a hardworking woman in her mid-forties. "Well, she went to San Marcaome for a trip previously, and this bracelet was the souvenir she got for every one of us in the office. Doesn't it look great? But I can take it down if you don't like it," he said as he mo
Charlotte was too young to be able to sense the undercurrents between adults. She was eating strawberries while she said, "Well, I have a lot of uncles but no daddy.""It seems she's indeed a bastard child. Ex-Mrs. Valentine's life is really as indecent as rumors say. Not sure whom this child resembles. "There was already a rage burning in Summer's heart. She gave a long cold stare at the reporter. At this time, a gracefully tall silhouette approached them. Mark, with a handsome face and a glass of wine in his hand, glanced over the reporter. His eyes were icy cold. " Did you just say bastard child? Repeat again, I didn’t hear it clearly just now..."Although his tone was not harsh, his voice sent those people shivers."Can't you see whom this child resembles?" As he spoke, he leaned over to hold Charlotte into his arms. "Something must be wrong with your vision." Cold voice came from his thin lips.As soon as the people around saw both of them, they realized that the child bor
If she had talked to Jazz about this matter, there was no way he would respond with a big reaction. What's more, he would even feel that his elder brother had done the right thing!Never did Yvette forget that this vixen was the reason severing her relationship with Jazz four years ago. Now things between her and Jazz had finally got better and she did not want another damage.As for Mark, this son of hers would not listen to her for sure, so the only person she could talk to was Raine."That child is his daughter, Yvette. She is your granddaughter too. Hence, these shares are not given to outsiders but to a family member. There's no need to be so angry."Raine's voice came from the other end of the call after a slight pause."I have not acknowledged that she's my granddaughter, and Mark has no plan to fight that vixen for custody. This means that 15 percent of the shares fall into that vixen's hand. Don't you get the picture?"Yvette sounded like a frustrated teacher. 'How can R
"I want the 'Pirate'," the girl—whose eyelashes were still a little wet—made the request, while nestling in his arms obediently, Summer was watching the scene quietly. She could feel it—Charlotte had gotten closer to Mark, and although he would growl at Charlotte when he was in a bad temper, he showed patience greater than she had expected.It turned out that blood ties were something impossible to cut off. The father-daughter duo shared a relationship more intimate than their relations with others despite the fact that they had not lived together during the daughter's early childhood.Seeing the father-daughter duo talking, Sherman was in daze. She could not help but place her hand at the side of her abdomen.She suddenly wondered whether the little one in her womb was a boy or a girl, and if it was a she, would she be a cutie like Charlotte?The moment she raised her head and looked at her side, she realized Billy had gone somewhere else. She did not ponder about his absence.
Billy drew out his cell. The moment he saw the numbers displayed on caller ID, his brows moved slightly. He then glanced at Sherman subconsciously.Sherman was putting a coat on Charlotte, afraid that she would catch a cold. Hence, she did not notice his behavior.Billy then took two steps back and picked up the call, "Hello.""Billy, I have arrived at the airport. I suddenly missed you since our last call during the afternoon, so I bought a flight ticket to return to Santatabaca from San Marcaome. Even I myself feel that it was an impulsive decision. I guess you are still busy so I went to hotel."Billy hesitated for a moment before he said, "You're at the airport, right? I'll come to pick you up." Then, he approached Sherman and handed her the car key. "Honey, I have to pick up a client at the airport. You drive home first.""What time will you be back?" Sherman took the car key."I can't tell yet at the moment, but it won't be later than ten o'clock. I love you, honey," a
Being sweaty was indeed a little uncomfortable. Thus, Billy went to the bathroom after getting up. When he came out from shower, he was wearing a shirt and suit pants.Natalie had also taken a shower. Her pair of straight and fair legs was a pleasant sight to see. She sat on the sofa, patted his side, and blinked. "Lie down, I'll give you a massage. I have just learned it."With a lazy and frivolous smile on his face, Billy rested his head directly on her lap, enjoying the massage. As he felt an indescribable feeling of comfort spread all over his body, he slightly narrowed his eyes.Natalie lowered her head slightly. Her long sleeves slipped off, revealing more of her bosom.Billy's Adam's apple bobbing. He got up and pulled her into his embrace with his long arms. Placing his arms around her waist, he kissed her.The woman wrapped around the man's neck with her slender arms. They kissed passionately. It was a hot, steamy kiss.Their kiss went on and on, and neither of them let
