She got even angrier and irritated when she shoved Mark out of the apartment with just one push. “Okay, if you’re so capable, leave now and never step back in. You’re a b*tch if you ever step inside again!” Summer slammed the door shut right after she was done talking, causing a loud bang. Mark lost his balance when the door came toward him almost hit him on the nose. Mark did not try to go inside anymore as he was worried that he might make her even angrier. When he got into his car, Charlie gave him a call. He muttered curses under his breath and suppressed his exasperation before he started the car. Charlie howled at top of his lungs in the pub. Mark could not put up with him anymore as he threw a cigarette at him. “Shut your d*mn mouth.” Mark started drinking as he sat on the couch. His mood was not any better. “Had a fight? She is a pregnant woman now so it’s natural for her to have unstable emotions. Haven’t you heard that pregnant women can cry now and laugh at
“When you’re with me, you don’t have to worry. You don’t have to think too much or pick your words when you talk to me, okay? We are the closest to each other. You don’t have to be rational and calm in front of me. Just like what happened earlier, you can throw a fit and make a mess out of yourself. I love every side of you, do you understand?”She nodded in response. The fact that he knew about the truth did make her feel relieved. “But no matter what happens in the future, you can’t hide anything from me anymore!” Mark obviously did not want to give in to her. His deep eyes narrowed as he started negotiating with her. “A deal is made by mutual agreement. It can never be one-sided…”“Okay, and I’m sorry. I didn’t mean what I said just now, so please don’t take it seriously. I had no idea why those words just came out of my mouth like that—”He did not wait for her to finish speaking as he leaned toward her and bit her rosy lips. He kissed her, swallowing her breaths and words alt
He dialed Raine’s number when he got into his car. After some time, the other end answered the call.“Where are you now, Raine?” Ronald put his luggage in the backseat and had the driver drive him back to the hospital. “Athana.” It sounded like chaos at Raine’s end. There were people talking and it was loud, until the point that he could not hear her clearly. Ronald furrowed his brows. “When did you go to Athana? I thought you decided to stay in Santabaca.”“Of course I am staying in Santabaca, but I still have to hand over my work here. It has already been quite some time since I’ve been here.”“When are you coming back?”“I’ll be back in Santabaca tonight if everything goes according to plan.”“Give me a call when you’re at the airport and I’ll go pick you up. There is something that I need to talk to you about.”Summer responded, “Okay…”Valentine Mansion When Yvette returned to Valentine Mansion, the servants told her that Ronald came back just now.Yvette was somewha
His words were like a grenade thrown right into her brain. The explosion disrupted her hearing as loud bangs were the only thing that rang in her ears. “That’s not funny at all, Ronald.”“I’m not joking, Raine. You know that I have always been a serious person. You can go and take a DNA test if you still don’t believe me.” Raine could not listen to anything more from him and continued to ask, “Then who is she to you?” He knew he could not hide their relationship forever. It would only be a matter of time before his family found out about them, and so will Raine. So, there wasn’t any reason for keeping Samantha in the dark. “Do you remember when you asked me who I loved? It’s her.”The world is not a big place, nor was it small. But what even are the odds of this? Raine thought it was absurd and ridiculous. “There is actually another more important thing that I need you to know. She is suffering from leukemia and she needs someone with compatible bone marrow for her treatme
Yvette stood up, ignored her, and walked up the stairs as she laughed. It was terrifying for others to watch.Raine was Samantha’s daughter, Raine was Samantha’s daughter, Raine was Samantha’s daughter, Raine was Samantha’s daughter...The phrase was like an old witch’s curse, clamoring inside her head. Over and over again, it felt more like a band tightening around her head. Her head hurt a little more every time the phrase was repeated. It just got tighter and tighter until her head felt like exploding. She had actually raised the daughter of her own husband’s lover for so many years. ‘Hahahaha, it was irony at its peak.’ The next morning.Mark was already used to being a househusband these days. After waking up, he would automatically go downstairs to get breakfast and wake the mother and daughter after preparing food on the table. Summer never liked pure milk, but her taste had changed all of a sudden. Aside from pure milk, she had stopped drinking other kinds of milk.
On the other side...Raine went to the hospital after she greeted Yvette. She was dying to know whether she was Samantha’s biological daughter too!It took about twenty-four hours to complete the DNA test, so the results would be out in a day. There were a lot of people waiting for the results. Ronald, Raine, and even Yvette...Although the jade ring already acted as a piece of physical evidence, they could not be a hundred percent certain. For that reason, they needed this last procedure to reassure themselves. As expected, the result came out in a day. It showed that their DNA matched, which could only mean that they were really mother and daughter. The result was the same, but it made some people happy, some sad, and some even crazy. Ronald was the happy one while Raine did not show much emotion. She kept her silence as if she had forgotten how to speak. But, it was even more unbearable for Yvette. Raine really turned out to be Samantha’s daughter, meaning that she had
At the apartment.Charlotte was craving shrimps, and Summer wanted to head to the supermarket downstairs. When Mark, who was in the study, heard her, he switched off his computer and wanted to go along with her.However, it was not safe to leave Charlotte alone at home. Thus, they all went to the supermarket together, just to get a kilogram of shrimps.Charlotte sat on the trolley’s seat; she spread out her arms and giggled just like a little chirping bird.Mark was dressed in a V-neck sweater and grey casual trousers. They accentuated his tall figure. Paired with cotton slippers, he looked relaxed and casual. Regardless of his outfit, it did not affect his good look and elegance in the slightest. He still invited a lot of attention; Summer, on the other hand, was busy shopping for food ingredients.Summer paused when she passed by the lingerie section. Somehow due to pregnancy or other factors, her breasts had grown larger. Hence the bras that she had previously bought were no
Mark smiled faintly, and gently bit her ears. He answered tenderly but frivolously, “Just feeding my eyes…”“As how I see it, you might as well hug it to sleep tonight.” She joked.“It has to be worn by you to arouse me. Without you, it’s simply two pieces of clothing.” He fixed his gaze on her as if he was going to see through her. Although it was a frivolous statement, he said it so passionately and gently.Summer blushed and was annoyed at herself for raising the subject. She elbowed him gently, “Sh*t!”When they arrived at their apartment, Grace and Charlie were waiting at the door. Charlie was holding his phone as if he was preparing to make a phone call.“You’re back just in time. I was about to call you and you arrived.” Charlie blinked, “How about we join you for dinner?”They bought a lot of groceries, even with four people, there would still be leftovers. After they entered the apartment, the two men sat on the sofa while Summer prepared dinner.Grace glanced at the ba
