When Summer arrived at the kindergarten, she learned that Mark had picked up Charlotte. She frowned. Mark was back already? Why did he not tell her?When she arrived at the apartment, she found the man sitting on the floor with Charlotte in his arms, working on a puzzle. He saw her walk in and said, “Summer, I’m hungry.”“Haven’t you eaten yet?” She put her bag aside and put on her slippers.“No, I’m waiting for you to cook for me,” he said naturally. “I’ve been eating out for days. I’m tired of it.”“What time was the flight?” Summer opened the fridge, and the ingredients inside were rich and fresh.Mark glanced at the clock and then slouched back on the sofa. “I arrived in Santabaca at four.”Which means he picked up Charlotte as soon as he got off the plane, so he definitely did not have time to eat.Mark leaned his long body back on the sofa as he heard the noise coming from the kitchen. His eyes fell on the kitchen.She was walking around the kitchen in her apron, and the
“Look at his face, his eyes, nose, and lips. If he wasn’t a temptress, what else could he be? Would you be this bewitched if he wasn’t a temptress?”Mark being a temptress…Summer almost spit the water that she was drinking on the temptress’ face. ‘Only Daisy could come up with such expressions!’In another setting...A huge pile of documents was laid in front of Yvette. She had a clear glass of water in her hand as she looked through Mark’s activities in Grudin North and Santabaca, especially those that were done behind closed doors.Suddenly, her eyes widened when she caught sight of one file!‘Summer Hart’s the biological daughter of that woman, Samantha…’She clenched her jaw as she read through the report. Every detail was written clearly, so there were definitely no mistakes.She could not find any negative news about Ronald in Grudin North. Even if she searched to the bottom of the earth, she still would not be able to find anything, as Ronald was a cautious man. How cou
His eyes were still shut when he responded like he was half-awake. “K…”Summer then rushed to the bathroom and freshened up before proceeding to make breakfast. When she was almost done with the soup, she headed back to the bedroom.On the bed were two sleepy people who had no intention of waking up. They were very deep in their sleep. Mark was already in a different position with Charlotte sleeping in his arms. Their faces looked relaxed and sweet.Even though she was angry, she found it hilarious. Mark had just responded to her not long ago, but look at him now…She walked over and carried Charlotte away from him. She then patted his back softly and said, “Hurry up. Wake up, you’re already late!”“Five more minutes. Let me sleep for five more minutes…” His deep and hoarse voice was coated with drowsiness. Mark lay still on the bed as if he was exhausted, but it also looked like he was just being stubborn.Charlotte was also still in her dreamland. Her eyes remained unfocused wh
Mark put the phone on speaker as he took a left turn. “Hey mom, is anything going on?”“Yes, and it’s really important. It’s urgent, so get back to the Valentine mansion for a while.” Yvette sounded rushed.“I have an important meeting to attend. I’ll go back after I’m done with work.” He looked over to the time and responded flatly.However, Yvette was not having it. “I can’t wait that long. If you don’t have time to come home, I’ll go to your office.”Mark furrowed his brows as he hung up and took another turn, driving back to the Valentine mansion.Over there, Yvette had been waiting in the living room for a long time. As soon as Mark walked in, she showed him the report without saying anything else.Mark was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. He flipped the pages of the report as his expression started to change. He then asked in a deep voice, “Why do you have these things?”Yvette chuckled coldly, sitting at the opposite of him. “I have never wanted to investigate
His brows came together in a frown as he stared at her. In a deep voice, he said, “Mom…”“I’m not joking with you. I will really go crazy because of this—I might even die. If you still want to be with her, I’ll cut ties with you and take my life in front of your eyes! I won’t want to live anymore. I simply can’t continue living!”Yvette gritted her teeth. If she ever saw Samantha or Yvette again, she might really go mad!“You CAN’T be with her, no matter what. Mark my words, Mark, I’ll keep my promise this time! Say something, Mark. Give me a response. Are you really okay with your own mother suffering like this?”“Okay, I’ll respond now…” Mark pushed her away and grabbed her by the shoulders. Uttering every word clearly, he continued, “Mom, there’s no way I’m leaving Summer…”Yvette was stunned as she proceeded to push him away. Her whole body was shaking from anger.“Do you know what you’re saying right now?! She is the daughter of that b*tch. Can you still face me if you stay
A middle-aged doctor arrived almost immediately. He did a full body check on Yvette and dressed her wound. “There’s nothing serious. Her body is weak, she bled a little, and she was overstimulated.”Mark was standing at the side when he breathed a sigh of relief after listening to what the doctor said. He raised his arms and fixed his tie before he left for his office.He was not afraid of her committing suicide again after he left her those words.“Get to the hospital. I need you to find something out for me and give me the results this afternoon,” Mark said to Harry coldly.Harry nodded and left. When it was almost time for them to leave work, he knocked on Mark’s door and let himself in before he updated Mark on every detail of his findings.Bone marrow donation…And the stupid woman actually consented to it!Summer got off work in the afternoon and was getting ready to pick Charlotte up from school. However, she already saw the black Lexus waiting outside her school.The ra
Whoever Samantha was as a person had nothing to do with Mark. Besides, he never wanted to let Summer donate her bone marrow to her… It was not because of the relationship she had with his father. It was because there was no need for Summer to save such a woman. Samantha was a mother who had abandoned her own daughter but came back looking for her when she needed her help to survive. Summer was his woman, and he did not want her to go through such injustice… What did Mark have to do with that person living or dying? He really did not want Summer to bear such pain and suffering for that woman… The next day, three of them went to the beach after breakfast in the morning. The weather in Sanctum Isles was like spring throughout the year. It felt soothing. Three of them had already changed their clothes. The women on the beach were either in bikinis or swimsuits, revealing their attractive figures. Charlotte was in her swimsuit, and Mark was wearing casual shorts paired with a li
“I think you should be the one to stop worrying. You’ve already walked around the room over ten times. I’m getting dizzy watching you.” Samantha held a cup of water in her hands and looked at him. She was not worried because she believed that Ronald would solve anything.He sat down on a couch after he listened to her words, waiting for them to return his call. All he wanted now was to get a hold of Summer.‘It’d be impossible to not locate her, no?’Sanctum Isles.The ocean waves were crashing in the blue sea one after another. The ocean was so clear that it could reflect the clouds in the sky. The green leaves on the tree branches shook in the wind, painting a warm picture of the beach.Charlotte was over the moon. She was running around on the beach, leaving a trail of small footsteps behind her. In contrast, Summer already felt tired when she sat on the beach. She was slightly out of breath as she watched Mark chase after Charlotte in front of her.Placed in front of her wa
