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
No one knew who was on the other end of the phone. It seemed like a friend because his expression appeared gentle. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it had been for days. Early in the morning, Summer went to the dressing room and started with her makeup. Grace and Sherman had arrived too. Grace did not look quite well, while Sherman seemed a lot calmer in contrast. “What happened to you?” Sherman looked at Grace. “You appear to be in a bad mood.” “It’s that old guy from the Morgan family! There are so many rules that he can publish a book about them already. Everything I do is not good in his eyes. He’s always trying to find fault with me.” Sitting on the couch, Grace fumed with rage as soon as she spoke about it. “That’s how it is after marriage. You don’t get to do things the way you want. You should also work on your temper. The more rules they have, the more you just have to take it as a learning point.” While she ran through her shiny curly hair, Grace’s red lip
“You lunatic!” Summer glared at Mark. Then, she moved forward while lifting her white wedding dress at the ankles.There was no way Mark would let her go, so he hugged her to prevent her from leaving. His muscular chest, hard as iron, pressed against her; his warmth and gloomy aura enveloped her. Mark said, “I’ve been a lunatic since a long time ago. Don't you even think about going to this wedding ceremony. I will never let you do as you wish!”“You—” Summer was anxious. She gritted her teeth and kicked him.“You can only wear that beautiful white wedding dress for me, not for the other men!” said Mark. In his mind, he thought to himself, ‘Not only is she wearing a white wedding dress, she has even put on delicate makeup. How dare she still want to marry Dean? There is no way I will allow that!’Mark could see the flaming anger in her eyes. She was stubborn yet beautiful."Don't marry Dean..." His voice became softer. "Don't marry him..." he repeated his request.His low voice s
“If you ask me, I’ll say that you’re just too impatient. Dean must be occupied at this moment, so how can he pick up your call? We’ve waited the whole morning, it won’t make much difference to wait a little more,” Solomon comforted. “This isn’t about how much time we’ve been waiting. The point is, it’s already 11, and they need to start the ceremony at 12. If it begins after 12 o’clock, it’s considered bad luck in Athanian tradition.” With eyes staring at the entrance, Solomon waved his palm and waited. “In my opinion, you are just being superstitious.” “Urgh, men really don’t know anything at all!” Daisy pinched his arms. She could die from anger just by talking to him. After a while, her phone rang, and Dean’s name was on it. Daisy immediately picked up the call. “Dean, where are you right now? Have you arrived at the bridal shop? Have you met Summer already? How long will you take to reach here? Can you rush here by 12 o’clock?” As soon as she opened her mouth, Daisy bla
The intensity of Mark’s gaze dug deep into her. It stared through her soul, consuming her whole. His tone of voice was low, but humble and pleading.He was wearing a dark-colored suit over a white shirt and a silver-gray tie at the neckline. The extravagance that radiated from him was extremely elegant, and it was in stark contrast to his imploring words. He was not the kind of person who’d lower his voice.But when it came to love, who would not be humble?Her heart was trembling and beating fast, but the words that came out were still the same. “Mark, you cannot act this way anymore. We can’t do this anymore.”“No matter what, as long as you say it, I will make it happen. Summer, I'm not kidding...”Mark’s words could not have been more serious; even his sunken eyes became deeper. His seriousness made people feel a little flustered.Summer's heart was messed up, panicked, moved, and even, just a little bit, she might impulsively say yes to him. She was terribly frightened of hi
