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
As his voice trailed off, Mark walked out of the room. He politely closed the door behind him despite his arrogance and indifference.The room went completely silent. Summer’s breath was floating and flowing in the air, so lonely and thin.Her heart was filled with emptiness. Her eyes could not help but become teary. Tears flushed out of her eyes and ran down her cheeks like a dam flooding its banks as soon as her sensitive nerve was touched.As of this moment, their relationship had finally come to an end!Summer began to sob, and her tears fell rustlingly, ruining all the makeup, but she didn't care about it. She tucked her head between her legs and let it be.However, the door was wide open again without her knowing, and Mark walked in. He squatted and approached her, his distinct fingers touching her soaked face, wiping away the tears. "Why are you crying so sadly? Didn’t I promise to let you go..." said the man in a very low voice.Her body stiffened because she had never ex
“I’m your man. I’m the father of your child. No matter how heavy the storm is, I will safeguard you from it. I will take care of all the mess, and you only just have to stay in my arms,” said Mark.Summer's chest was panting hard, she was still breathing heavily. His warmth was enough to stir all the strong feelings in her heart. Her heart was pounding loudly, she wanted to speak, but she seemed to hold back.She bit her lips deeply. She sat there, her hands tightened as she was struggling violently in her heart.His gaze fell heavily on her lips. At the moment, there were two deep biting marks on her lips which were as delicate as petals of the flower. His big hand lifted her chin. “I don’t like you biting your lips. I will deal with your parents, leave them with me. Dean will gradually recover once he feels his legs again. On top of that, let me know if you have any other concerns. I will deal with all of it as well," said Mark.As Summer was staring at him, she felt as if someth
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
