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
Mark could not do anything with her and frowned again. “The sight of your wedding dress is absolutely an eyesore, go and change into something else.”She burst into tears and laughed merrily, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes. Mark gently pinched her earlobe and hummed slightly. “Crying and laughing, you are just like a wimp.”“You’re the wimp.” She retorted hotly, her cheeks flushed, and her words were a little bit irritable. She naturally turned her back to him. “Gently pull the zipper down for me.”Mark placed his gentle hand on the zipper and gently pulled it down. Summer’s smooth and white back caught his sight. His eyes sunk into the sight of it. Then, she ran into the dressing room quickly. When she came out again, she had put on a simple long skirt.Mark’s big hand slipped and clasped her slender fingers. The two walked out of the villa side by side and sat in a black Bentley.His big palm is thick and warm. Unlike hers, small and thin. As if it could be brok
“Mom, I––”Mark squeezed her palm. He didn’t wait for Summer to finish her sentence and interrupted her words directly. “Mrs. Hart, the solely responsible person for this matter, is me, and it has nothing to do with Summer.”“I'm talking to my daughter, and it is none of your business!” Daisy scolded bluntly, “Plus, we do not welcome strangers to our home, so you may leave!”“I am not a stranger. I am the love of her life. I told her to defy your wishes. You can resent me with all you want, and I shall bear with it.” His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.Hearing this, Daisy sneered, “Who would dare to express their anger on you–the eldest son of Valentines–so please leave now!”Dean, who hadn't said anything, finally opened his mouth. "Mrs. Hart."Daisy's breath slowed down and she panted for a while. Then she stared directly at Summer. "Do you still have feelings for him in your heart?"Summer trembled, and her lips were a little dry. Mark stretched out his arms and hung
