Knowing that she had returned to Nokocola Bay, he felt a little restless, especially when he thought that she and Dean were alone, his distress doubled.Raine was wearing pajamas. She had just taken a shower. While holding Charlotte in her arms, she sat down and said softly, "Mark, when will we get married? "She had waited for this moment for four years. Although the wound on her face made her sad, as long as he was there, it was nothing.Hearing this, Mark raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, and his tall body sank into the soft sofa. He did not utter a word."Is it okay in one month? Just hold the wedding in Santatabaca. It's simple and doesn't need to be too cumbersome..."Raine faintly whispered, "Knowing that you are very busy, and I have not yet gone to work, so you can leave these matters to me."Although it was a question, Raine had already made a decision on her own."Yvette said it has to be more grand, but I don't like it that way. Besides, you are very busy. The w
"I have waited for four years. What I want to hear is not 'sorry' or about you feeling guilty. You know these are not the words I want to hear...""I know what you have wished for. Unfortunately, I can't grant your wish, Raine. What's done is done, and I should not make things worse. I can't give you what you want. I can only choose the right time to make things clear. I will try to make up for what I owe you..."She had almost been raped, and she was pushed down the cliff, causing her face to be disfigured. These were all because of Mark Valentine, and he had the obligation to compensate for her loss.The tears were flowing down her cheeks endlessly, like a stream of water dripping, clounding her vision. She forced a smile. "How are you going to make up for it?""I will do my best to compensate for your loss..." Compensating her was all he could do."I thought we were different from other couples, but reality told me otherwise. We were in love for a dozen years. I thought we were
Suddenly, Raine got up, put down the spoon, and left the dining table."Raine, where are you going?" Yvette watched. She was puzzled because of Raine's unexpected behavior."Something came up, I have to go out. I can't take breakfast with. Please excuse me." She was running upstair as her voice trailed off.The airport--Mark hugged Charlotte and stepped into the lobby. He was waiting for Harry to get them flight tickets.When he looked around, he accidentally saw Billy and Sherman coming from far. He slightly raised his eyebrows."Hey, Mark." Billy was pulling a suitcase with his hand. His smiling eyes were full bright, beaming spirit. "Look at you, you're holding a baby like a dad now. Where are you heading?""Nokocola Bay. What about you guys?" Mark let Sherman to take Charlotte from his arms.Charlotte and Sherman were very close. With her soft little hands wrapping around Sherman's neck, Charlotte greeted her with a peck on her cheek, "Auntie Sherman.""My company is wor
"Good girl. Call me Daddy again..."At this time, the flight attendant on the plane came over. With a polite and decent smile on her face, she said, "Sir, the plane is about to take off, please turn off your phone."Raising his eyebrows, Billy slightly blinked. Not until he had heard the word 'Daddy' in soft and coquettish tone from the other end of the call did he hang up and turn the cell off.The two had planned ahead. They would left the city separately. Natalie would arrive at San Mapeque first. She would book a room and settle down while waiting for Billy. They would reunite after Billy settled some business for the company.There were too many reporters in Sanctum Isles. Due to Billy's status, he could get busted anytime. But in San Mapeque, things were different.Nokocola Bay.When Charlotte returned to where she lived, the door was locked. It seemed that nobody was there.Charlotte smacked the door hard with her fair and soft little hands as she shouted, "Mommy, I'm
Mark glared at Dean with a menacing gaze. It was so intimidating that as if it would kill him in an instant.Apparently, he was in rage, fury and anger. In his mind, he wanted to twist Summer's slender and beautiful neck.She had rejected his proposal, then turned around to take pre wedding photo with Dean and going to marry Dean. This was unbearable for him.When Dean was going to say something, Mark had already turned around and reached out to grab Summer's wrist, leading her downstairs with great force."Let go, Mark! Let me go. What the hell are you doing?" Summer struggled, wriggling her arm, but every move caused her severe pain.Dean saw Mark grab her wrist, and she was in pain and could not break free. He could not move so all he could do was watching her being dragged away.After leaving the residential area, Mark pulled her into a cafe where she had been in the last time. Only then, he let go of her wrist.Rubbing the hot and painful area, Summer frowned, "Mark, What a
The two waiters were a little dumbfounded. They did not regain their senses after a long time. Summer calmed down her breath and had her heartbeat slowed down, and looked around, but inadvertently saw Raine standing opposite the café, and their eyes met.Mark noticed something off about her so he followed her gaze and saw Raine who was standing opposite.Raine strode on her feet and walked towards the café after standing there watching them quietly for a few seconds.Never had they expected the three of them would meet again under such circumstances after four years.Raine entered the café. She landed her gaze on Summer. Without the slightest change in her expression, she greeted her, "It's been a long time."At the same time, Summer was calm too. She responded flatly, "Long time no see."The next moment, she got up and looked at Mark whose expression was grim. She could not tell what he was thinking. "You guys talk. I have something to do, so I'll leave," she said.It must h
Her love was obvious, but she had to act as if she did not care or was annoyed. No one knew how much pain she had to go through at that time, and yet he still hated her. Indeed, Mark did not know the existence of such a backstory. His sense of guilt towards Raine grew a bit more, but it was mere guilt only. “I honestly have not heard of these before, but now it has become a thing of the past. Even though you’ve brought it up now, not the slightest bit of change will occur. “Perhaps if you chose to tell me the truth at that time, we might not have come to this point. Nevertheless, it is merely hypothetical, and is not a reality. “In the end, we will meet the ones we are destined to meet, love the ones we are destined to love. This is fate…” In between those words, he squeezed that delicate hand in the palm of his hands a little tighter, making Summer feel the warmth he exuded. Never had Summer heard Mark speak these words before, and never had she expected herself to hear t
“Yes, I really missed you, Uncle Dean.” Charlotte's little head nodded like a chicken pecking at grains.With a smile, Dean stretched out his hand and squeezed her little cute nose. “Good girl. Now, I would like to hear you call me ‘daddy’.”Charlotte pouted her little mouth, and after a while, she uttered softly, “Daddy.”Summer became a little stiffer after hearing that. She walked into the kitchen and went to make dinner. Meanwhile, Dean was playing with Charlotte in the living room, the sound of giggling came from time to time.While having dinner, there was a call from the bridal shop asking Summer to try the wedding dress tomorrow.Summer answered the call and then hung up the phone. Charlotte heard all about it and her little face was full of excitement. “Is Mommy going to try out the wedding dress? I wanna go too!”“Finish your dinner first and put aside your yogurt drink. Once you are done, you can enjoy your yogurt drink.” Summer frowned as she watched Charlotte with th
