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
Charlotte had school the next day, so Summer sent her to her room and tucked her in bed. As she emerged, Grace was still singing. Irritated, she stopped her, “Enough, don’t your throat feel painful?”They were fortunate that the sound proofing was well done; otherwise, they would have received lots of complaints from the neighbors.“Don’t stop me, let me sing my heart out. That bugger won’t let me into the living room or karaoke but makes me have ladylike behavior; if I don’t vent it out, I’m going to go crazy!” Charlie waved helplessly, showing that he too was powerless and had no idea how to deal with her.The singing session lasted until past 10:00 pm. Finally, Mark couldn’t take it anymore, he raised his leg and kicked Charlie twice, and had him take his wife away.He walked over and pestered her; and finally dragged her off forcefully, and the apartment returned to its quiet state. Summer was also very tired, walked to her bedroom.Mark picked up a glass of milk and followe
They continued until they were out of breath before they were satisfied. She leaned on his warm chest and took a breather; she heard his heartbeat; it was strong yet so assuring. Calmly and softly, she answered.“I’m fine, it’s just the news that is too shocking; but if this is what fate has prepared for me, I will accept it…”She felt blessed to have him by her side…There was a common saying that ‘everyone has his or her own destiny, and destiny toys with man’. At that moment, she could fully comprehend its meaning.“If that’s the case, wouldn’t Raine be eligible for Samantha’s bone marrow transplant too?”No wonder for the last two days, Ronald had stopped pestering her. ‘He must be aware of the situation too. Could he be planning to shift the responsibility to Raine?’In just a short time, she had pieced the puzzle together.“Although the compatibility rate is higher among parent and child, it doesn’t mean it is always compatible. Everything remains uncertain until the resul
Seated beside Ronald, Raine became silent too. The lights in the corridor lit up her face and revealed her troubled expression.Ronald drooped between his legs; he appeared to have aged. Until now, he still couldn’t accept the results. He had placed all hopes on Raine, but now, everything had collapsed…Despaired and unstable, it spoke very much about how much Ronald loved Samantha. After observing him for a long time, Raine looked away, sighed, and consoled him, “Ronald, don’t be so sad.”Yvette was still resting when she heard the news. She immediately sprung up from her bed. Feeling on cloud nine as never before, she had the maid prepare lunch.However, she still felt a little uneasy, worrying that Raine and Ronald had attempted trickery, and produced a false report to deceive her, so that she would let her guard down. She didn’t believe it completely. So, she secretly sent someone to the hospital to ascertain the credibility of the report.The result spread like wildfire. With
Because Raine’s bone marrow wasn’t compatible, there was only Summer left. How would Mark possibly agree to allow her to donate her bone marrow to his mistress, Samantha?Although she disliked Summer or the child she was bearing, the child had certainly arrived at the right time. Comment by Chein Ling Foo: OriginalAlthough he couldn’t wait to see Summer or the child she was bearing,MistranslationEven the heavens were in her favor. It only meant that the vixen, Samantha, was not going to have a happy ending!It was already 3:00 pm when Summer woke up. Charlotte had unknowingly snuggled up and slept beside her, burying her face within her chest.She moved her body carefully and planned to prepare lunch. After a long day and a few hours of rest, Charlotte would surely be hungry when she wakes up. Just as she had put on her slippers, her phone rang.She leaned forward and picked up her phone. The screen displayed a string of numbers; although there was no name, it was a familia
As she was still lost in her thoughts, a loud thud was heard. She turned around curiously and only to find Ronald on his knees.Astonished, she froze to her spot, and went into a daze for a long time.“There is no suitable donor now, only you can save her. The doctor has said that treating leukemia in its early stage has the highest chance of recovery. If this golden opportunity has passed, the recovery rate will be reduced by half. Please, I beg you today.”Ronald was a well-known figure in both Santabaca and Grudin North. When had he pleaded with anyone before? Summer was the first and the only one. Although it hurt his pride and was unbearable, he still had to do it!Summer could tell that Ronald loved Samantha. Otherwise, why would a prominent person do such a thing for a woman. If it wasn’t love, what would it be?Although she was stunned, she was touched by his actions, but it did not mean that she was willing to sacrifice her child.Let nothing overstep each other. No matt
At this moment, all Summer cared about was the child in her womb.Her concerns were also rested upon the child…Like what had happened before, she had no idea she was pregnant. Thus, she did not have second thoughts when it came to donating her bone marrow. However, the problem arose because of the child.‘If she weren’t pregnant, there was nothing she would need to worry about…‘Therefore, should I…’An idea appeared in his head. Ronald blinked, and then squinted his eyes upward.…When Mark returned to the apartment, Summer had prepared dinner and was serving the soup.Mark rubbed his lips and stared at her twice; then he took off his jacket and casually tossed them onto the sofa.“Did anyone approach you?” he asked.Since Raine’s bone marrow wasn’t compatible, it was only natural that everyone shifted their attention toward her. Anyhow, there were only two persons who would approach her; it could only be either Ronald, or Samantha.Before Summer could speak, Charlotte, who
