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
Mark nodded back before he reached into her dress with his big hand. All of a sudden, Summer’s cheeks burned red as she ground her teeth. “Take your perverted hand out of my dress!”There were countless tourists walking around them. ‘How shameless is he to do this out in public?’The sky gradually got darker before it turned completely dark. Charlotte was also done having fun on the beach. She begged to have dinner, as she was feeling hungry. Sanctum Isles had many local delicacies. The three of them headed downtown and found a restaurant. It was not a fine dining restaurant, but it was crowded with customers. Their business was thriving. They ordered a number of dishes including a soup that was brewed with a variety of seafood, such as abalone, scallops, lobster, etc.…Charlotte leaned towards the dishes and had her hands on the table the whole time. The food was delicious, and she was enjoying herself. Summer had also gobbled up her share of lobster and soup. They were ver
“Sure.” Summer placed her hand on her stomach as she responded. Her eyes were bright, and she was feeling great. ‘How nice!’Mark was holding her in his arms as they sat on the couch. His lips looked as if they were permanently smiling as his expression was exceptionally soft.Charlotte wanted to join them as she climbed onto Summer’s stomach. But Mark quickly stopped her and educated her on it. “You can’t sit on Mommy’s stomach anymore, okay?”“Why can’t I sit on Mommy? I’ve been sitting on her stomach all this time.” Charlotte scrunched her nose while she ate her ice cream. Her mouth was stained with cream.“There’s a baby in your mommy’s belly now. You’ll flatten the baby if you sit on Mommy, you know?”“Whoa!” Charlotte’s eyes twinkled as she jumped around the room. All of a sudden, a thought hit her as she turned around and looked at Summer. “Mommy, is the baby my little brother or little sister?” she asked curiously.Summer answered with a smile, “We don’t know yet. We have
Summer nodded as she took off her shoes and changed into her nightgown. Maybe it was the fact that she was pregnant, but she slept curled up in his arms right away.Once her breathing became steady, Mark opened his eyes and carefully removed his arm that was under her hand before he got out of bed. He walked to the study and stopped there as he sat himself down on the chair and switched on the laptop. Controlling the cursor with his right hand, Mark opened the search history and reopened the page. “Can pregnant women donate their bone marrow?”‘So, this was what she was looking at just now. No wonder she switched off the laptop so abruptly when she saw me.’Summer wanted to keep the transplant a secret from Mark, but how long was she going to keep it from him?Three of them went to the hospital for a checkup right after they had their breakfast.After some time, the results were out as the doctor came to them with a smile on his face. “You’re one month pregnant.
