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
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
