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
“Grandma has left us…” After a long while, a deep suppressed voice came through. It was so deep that Summer could sense a strong feeling of depression on the other end of the phone. It was suffocating. ‘She left…’ Considering his feelings and depressive emotions, it was not hard for Summer to make a guess. The “left” he meant was not just leaving a place, it might be… Summer felt some dryness in her throat. Her drowsiness was also gone. She held her phone tightly and responded, “When did this happen? Are you—” ‘Okay?’ She had not finished uttering the last word, but the call ended because the other side had hung up. With furrowed brows, Summer did not really sleep for the rest of the night. She did not know if her guess was right or wrong. However, she selfishly wished in her heart that Ms. Moore was safe and sound, sitting on the couch while feeding cats. The next morning, Daisy made breakfast while Summer washed up in the bathroom. At that moment, there was a knock on the
The security at the villa was tight. Only those with an access card could enter. The parking lots were all filled with vehicles. At first glance, all that could be seen were cars and not human heads. Seeing this, Summer hesitated a little. She did not want to meet Yvette, but Yvette would most definitely be there. Then again, they had reached the gate outside of the villa already. There was no reason for her to not enter, right? Holding Charlotte’s hands, she walked to the front of the villa. Wreaths and ribbons of condolences stretched from the doorway of the villa to the hall. All the people who were there looked somber and solemn. They were all people of status and prestige. Taking in a short breath, she walked to the doorway of the villa. As expected, Yvette was standing there, dressed in full black. Her eyes were puffy and red. Raine was standing by her side and holding her arm, comforting as well as supporting her. As Summer walked over, she appeared to be distantly pol
Now that Ms. Moore was gone, Mark obviously felt the pain more than anyone else. He had not gotten any sleep for the past three days. He had stayed by Ms. Moore’s side at the mortuary refrigerator day and night. He never closed his eyes for a second. The consecutive strain on his physical and mental body almost caused him a sudden death. He could not find any place to relax or vent, so he had been very depressed. Now that he could hug Summer’s tender body in his arms and smell her delicate fragrance, he could finally release all his tension. Mark’s strength was so great that it was as if he wanted to embed Summer’s whole being into his body. He hugged her tightly, very tightly. “Are you okay?” After a long while, Summer opened her mouth to speak. “Mmm…” he answered in a hoarse voice. It carried an inexplicable dryness in that atmosphere. “How did Ms. Moore suddenly end up in this state?” “Cerebral hemorrhage…” “How many days have you been up?” This time, he did not
The past three days had been stressful for Mark. It was natural that he needed rest. He lay on her lap and closed his eyes. After a while, he fell asleep.Yvette stood outside the room, fuming with rage. Flames of fury rose to her chest, burning as if they were about to explode!She was here to pick up some things. Never had she expected to see this.The passing of Ms. Moore had left her almost at the brink of a breakdown. Her mood had just gotten better. But now, the negative emotions were overwhelmingly triggered again.Summer gazed at Mark’s charming face silently and let out a sigh; she moved him carefully to the sofa and planned to get a glass of water.The moment she stepped out, she ran into Yvette, who was standing outside the door, and they bumped into each other...Accidentally, Summer stepped on Yvette's foot. She quickly moved her foot away the moment she heard a weird shriek of pain."You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Yvette held a cold gaze. She stared at Summer
Mark’s handsome face darkened a little. Without a word, he put his phone into his blazer’s pocket. Then, he went ahead and greeted all the guests that came. He was cold and distant, yet polite. “Mark, where’s your car key? I’ll borrow it for a while. Mom said that Dad is on the plane now and he’ll arrive soon. I’m going to pick him up.” Mark threw the car keys over and turned around. His gaze landed on Ms. Moore’s black and white picture. She was smiling at him as usual, and it was as if she had never left before. However, some people would eventually leave, and there was no possibility for them to return. Ms. Moore’s passing had also impacted Gordon a lot. Both of them had been madly in love with each other, and their relationship had never changed over the years. Now that Ms. Moore had passed on, Gordon had also collapsed. In the afternoon, Ronald arrived with a hurried look on his face. It looked like he had been in a rush. He met Mark’s eyes at once and asked, “Where’s
“My bank card is in my wallet. It contains $3,000,000. Take it with you. If it isn’t enough, just give me a call. I’ll transfer more for you.” “Okay, I’m hanging up now.” As soon as her voice fell, the lady hung up immediately. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Ronald casually left his phone at the side and walked over to open the door. It was Yvette. “It’s quite late already, would you like to have some food?” “Maybe later. I’ll wait till dinner time when everyone is eating together.” In between those words, Ronald stretched his hands toward Yvette’s shoulder. “You’ve been working hard the entire time.” Yvette’s face seemed tired, but hearing that, she shook her head. “Whatever my dad or Mark said just now, don’t take it to heart. They’re just not in a good mood.” Indeed, Gordon’s attitude toward Ronald was lukewarm. He did not even bother to glance at Ronald for a second or utter a single word. “I understand. It is excusable.” “How long will you be stayin
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
