“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. Congratulation
Summer’s heart raced as she panicked when Mark was next to her. They were both very close to each other. She was afraid that he could hear their conversation or hear Ronald’s voice.She leaned away from Mark as she spoke clearly. “Let’s meet at the café outside of the school tomorrow at 12.00 pm.”She hung up right after she finished speaking, not waiting for Ronald’s response.Mark was drying his hair with his towel while raising his brows and staring at her. “Who was it?”“An old teacher. She needed some old documents from me so I asked her to meet me at the café tomorrow.” Summer put the phone back into her bag and acted normally. “Let’s sleep. If I get up late one more time tomorrow, I won’t stay over ever again.”Mark leaned toward her and kissed her soft cherry lips. “Goodnight.”Summer returned his kiss as she smiled faintly. “Goodnight.”He could only watch but not taste the snack next to him. ‘How cruel is this life.’ Mark let out a soft sigh as he held Summer tightly i
No matter how small a fetus was, it was still a life. It really was not as simple as he said. That was her son, and she could not just abort him like that!“Then do you want to just watch your biological mother die before your eyes?” Ronald put down the mug of coffee and looked at her. The atmosphere between the two was extremely stuffy and tense, making it hard for people to breathe…Ronald was just looking at her with his serious and dark expression. There was an indescribable sense of power and authority from him. However, Summer’s expression was cold as she stared back at him. There was not an ounce of warmth in her eyes. “That’s why I said I can’t go through with the transplant now. The baby is mine, and I can’t just take its life away like that!”Ronald had no thoughts about the one-month-old baby in her belly, let alone some empathy. He did not understand. How could an unborn baby be more important than a person who had been living for a long time?The fetus was just a
Ronald was caught off guard by his unpredictable attack. A heavy punch landed on him, sent him wobbling backward. He held onto the side of the table to keep himself from falling.Eyebrows furrowing with anger, he vehemently exclaimed, "This punch, is for my mother and the atrocious deeds you have committed!" His words were as cold as ice.Following that, he punched Ronald again, saying, "This is from me and Jazz!".After being struck twice in quick succession, Ronald stumbled against the table. He panted softly, and his cheeks ached. Yet, he maintained his authoritative figure as a father. "Mark, you’re going overboard!".“Since you have the audacity to do this, you should bear the consequences!” Mark shot Ronald a glare with an indifferent and distant expression. “I’m warning you, don’t you ever approach her again. Or else, I swear I will do worse than beat you!"Following that, Mark gave Ronald a cold glance before striding towards the door of the café. A few of the cafe custo
Samantha frowned upon looking at Ronald’s swollen face. “What happened to your face?” she asked strangely.“Nothing. I just walked into something.” Ronald brushed off her question. Even though he was not hurt badly, he still felt anger inside of him. It was just that the anger was already vanishing at this time. “How are you so clumsy? Don’t you use your eyes when you walk?” Samantha asked the nurse to bring some ice and put it on his bruise. Ronald sat there heavy-heartedly as he felt very upset. Making Summer donate her bone marrow was only going to get tougher. Mark was already aware of it, and he certainly would not allow it to happen...As Mark pushed open the apartment door, the dim yellow lighting in the house melted away his sorrow a little. The tense lines on his face softened too. Summer was making dinner in the kitchen while Charlotte was babbling out her ABCs while writing them down. “ABCEF…”Even after they had repeatedly told her four to five times, she sti
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
