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
The three of them left and headed for the bridal shop.Dean and Summer went to choose a wedding dress. Charlotte, on the other hand, sat on a sofa while holding Summer’s bag. At the same time, she was sipping on her fruit juice contentedly. The drink left a stain on the edge of her mouth.Suddenly, Summer’s cell rang. With her fair and tender hands, Charlotte pulled out the ringing cell from the bag. She could not read the name on the caller ID, yet she picked up the call anyway. “Are you looking for my mommy? My mommy is very busy and doesn't have time to answer a call!” “What is your mommy up to?” Mark’s deep voice came from the other end of the call as he frowned.“Uncle...” Charlotte's tone was full of joy. “Mommy is wearing a wedding dress, and I also want to wear a wedding dress, a white one.”With a snap, Mark hung up the call. The handsome face turned grim, and he was exuding a coldness that could completely freeze a person.Sensing that he had walked away, Raine slowly
Mark was panting as he rubbed her lips with his slightly rough finger. “Don't say anything that I don't want to hear, otherwise, I will kiss you to death here!”When she said things that he did not want to hear, he would block her lips with his so she could not make a sound.Summer was still trying to catch her breath; she was a little angry; she raised her foot and stepped on him forcefully. “Crazy man!”"Well, I am a lunatic. You are the one who has driven me into this. Don’t you dare to try on another wedding dress again. I will certainly rip it into pieces." Mark stared at her coldly, with deep and serious eyes. He made it clear to her that he would absolutely do what he said!Summer was anxious, and she hit him on the chest with all her strength. Not only was he a madman, but he also drove others crazy too. Both of them glared at each other coldly in anger. As if they wanted to swallow each other up. It felt like a war between them was on the verge of breaking out.The weddin
“I might have accidentally damaged the wedding dress when I was hanging it. How much is it? I’ll pay you,” Summer said as she did not want to continue the argument with her. Then, they walked out of the bridal shop. Summer’s questioning gaze landed on Dean. “What about now? Should we go to the next shop?” “Sure,” Dean replied. They visited almost all of the bridal shops in Nokocola Bay, yet none of the shops were willing to sell them any. Figuring out the person behind this was a complete no-brainer. Summer’s anger filled her chest until she felt suffocated, and it put her in a dilemma.However, it never occurred to her that Mark could be this influential in the Nokocola Bay area. Then again, did he not think that his actions were too childish? However, at the same time, an unexplainable feeling emerged in her heart. It felt like helplessness. It also felt like… “It looks like we can’t get anything in Nokocola Bay. Anyway, we didn’t plan to hold our wedding here. We’ll jus
As Mark walked back to the operating theater’s waiting area, the doctor just so happened to walk out of the emergency room. He had a surgical mask in hand. “How is my grandma?” Mark hurriedly asked. His face looked sullen, anxious, and worried. “Ms. Moore’s condition doesn’t seem to be good. She’s had a history of a cerebral hemorrhage. So, regardless of bodily function or blood vessels, they have all become fragile. I’m afraid that this time...” Suddenly, the expression on Mark’s handsome face changed. Now, it was as dark as gloomy clouds... Awfully dark. Plus, the green veins on the back of his hands were protruding. He grabbed the doctor’s white coat tightly and said, “What the f*ck did you just say?” The doctor was shocked by Mark’s current disposition, and he trembled a little. But Gordon interrupted to stop Mark. “Tell me.” “Actually, Ms. Moore’s condition is much more serious than it was in the last accident. When a cerebral hemorrhage happens, most people would be unc
The wedding day was around the corner, so Daisy took Summer to the plaza every day to buy the things she wanted. Just a sheet set alone, she had bought many of it.Summer could not help it, and she even had a headache. Daisy would not stop; she just would not listen.It had been two days since Mark appeared at the bridal shop in Nokocola Bay the other day, and he had never shown up again.If it was not for the torn wedding dress hanging in the room, Summer would think that Mark appearing in the bridal shop that day was just her imagination.During this period, he had become calm and quiet like never before. He stopped calling and no longer showed himself in front of her. It was as though he had completely disappeared into thin air.‘He will barge into my life as he pleases and mess up my life. When he disappears, he leaves no traces. He really thinks he can do whatever he wants.’However, didn't she always want to live a peaceful life? Now that things had finally calmed down, why
It was nighttime. Mark only entered the ward after everyone had left. Ms. Moore’s body had already been placed in the mortuary refrigerator. He just sat next to the mortuary refrigerator and stared at Ms. Moore. She appeared to be serene and calm. However, she would never call him “Mark” or act with a child-like demeanor toward him anymore. Ms. Moore enjoyed being goofy and childish around Mark. She loved him the most. Ever since he was young, she would save up all the good food for him. She would only bring them out once he was in Norwood. It seemed that she had done it for such a long time that it became a habit. Even when he was over 20 years old, that habit of hers never changed at all. Every time she opened her mouth to speak, it would always be, “Our dearest Mark.” She would always talk about him. Therefore, none of the servants who worked for her would have no idea that she had a grandson named Mark. From now on, there would not be anyone who acted like an old child, w
