“Yea we know that,” Grace said impatiently.“How do you feel?” Summer turned to Sherman.“My belly is getting bigger, and now I have morning sickness, it makes me tired easily,” Sherman said.Summer nodded. “Pregnancy is like that. You have to endure the process. Think about it, it’s just ten months. Have you calculated your due date?”“It’s been five months now. The baby is due in February or March next year.”“That’s great. The weather will be neither too hot nor too cold. It’s the most comfortable weather for a new mom and baby.”After a sip of warm water, Sherman, annoyed, pointed to her face and leaned over the table to show Summer, “Summer, did you get spots when you were pregnant?”“It depends. I didn’t have spots on my face when I was pregnant. It’s only been five months and you’ve got this much. You’ll probably get more. But the spots will fade after the baby is born. Is it a boy or a girl?”Sherman shook her head and laughed. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl
You cannot go on and on about men’s mistakes forever. Mistakes are like wounds. If you keep holding them, how can they heal?So, if you keep reminding him of his mistakes, day after day, it will just take away any sense of guilt and annoy him instead.“That’s good.” Summer nodded, as long as Sherman thought she was making the right choice.Grace looked at Natalie’s outfit, then at Sherman’s, and shook her head.Natalie finished her coffee. When she was about to walk out the door, she saw the three of them. She paused and greeted them with a smile.Summer and Sherman did not respond, but Grace said, “Are you getting better at seducing men?”Natalie smiled without a trace of anger. “You are as beautiful and radiant as ever.”“Of course. If I am not radiantly beautiful, how can I outshine you?” Grace grinned, brushing her long hair with her hand charmingly.Natalie’s eyes flickered over Sherman, still smiling. “I’ll go first. Bye.”Natalie was not upset that Billy had not called
The next second, Mark opened his eyes, but his eyes were covered with a slight redness. His breath was so hot that it could burn.At the moment when his eyes met Raine’s eyes, surprise flashed across his eyes. Obviously, he did not understand what was happening.Then, the flames burning in his body churned up.Filled with unspeakable heat all over his body, Mark moved his big hand and tore away his shirt.“What happened?” He asked, his voice hoarse to the extreme.Raine stared at him but did not say a word. A dark light flickered in her eyes.Mark threw the clothes aside directly toward her, and then turned on the air conditioner in the room.It was autumn and it was raining outside, but he turned down the temperature directly to 16 degrees. In an instant, the temperature in the room dropped.But Mark underestimated the flame in his body.Mark’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down. His eyes had been stained with a faint scarlet. Knowing that things were not that simple, he turned
Then he came forward to open the door, but he found that the door was locked. And his phone was not with him. He stared at Raine and sneered at her.She was obviously trying to push him into a corner…Suddenly, Raine felt cold, very cold. She got up, approached him again and hugged him tightly.If he held her, the suffering would be relieved…Gritting his teeth, Mark pushed her away again. He was slowly losing his mind. When his eyes caught the fruit knife on the table, he grabbed it and slashed his left arm.The pain excited him and kept his mind clear. It also helped to distract his attention, but the blood soon flowed down.Raine was frightened. She was really frightened by his actions. Mark now scared her, and his madness also scared her.She ran to take away the knife in his hand, but he did not give her a chance. The sharp tip of the knife crossed his skin again, and the blood flowed out again.Raine was going crazy. Mark was driving her crazy, leaving her painfully out o
“How could I make any mistake when you decided to give us a chance?” He sat up, took her directly into his arms, and seated her on his lap. “I want you, and only you can trap me…”Summer leaned back into his arms and said softly, “Aren’t you afraid something might happen to you?”He frowned and his arms clenched tightly around her tiny waist. “You won’t be afraid of anything when I’m by your side. And you have promised to be with me. What am I afraid of? And you and Charlotte are waiting for me. I won’t let myself get into an accident…”“Mark!” she whispered, before she hugged him passionately, her cheek pressed against his warm arms as she smiled gently.She whispered his name and smiled sweetly. She believed she had made the right decision!She would only be brave for the people she loved in this world. She wanted them to be together, she wanted to be brave, and she wanted to be with him.“Touched?” Mark whispered hoarsely as he kissed her.She looked up, her dark eyes meeting
Summer pinched him in the stomach and turned to the teachers, blushing, and said, “Ignore him. Please ignore him.”She gave him two magazines and a cup of tea, treating him like a kid.The glow in Mark’s eyes dimmed at the thought of Raine. It should be easy to deal with her.If she was smart, then he could still keep things civil between them.If she was still foolish, then……Raine had not slept for two days. The dark circles under her eyes were severe and her face was swollen.Looking at herself in the mirror, she was smiling, but she looked uglier than crying.Was she starting to lose sight of herself?She thought she should give up. Things could not go on at this point.She could still remember that day vividly. How he resisted the urge, how he called her disgusting, how he cut himself with a knife.His last act was the craziest. It was so vivid in her mind as if it had been engraved in her heart, and she shuddered and panicked when she thought of it.At that moment, s
Raine did not want to hear it, so she packed her suitcase. “Maybe I am good-for-nothing, or maybe it is fate. I will only admit that I drugged the mushroom soup. You don’t have to worry about it, Yvette.” Yvette’s brow crumpled like an old bill, as she was utterly disappointed with Raine. “Where are you going? You are not going anywhere until Summer leaves Mark.” “Commander Angelo is still here, Yvette. Actually, I don’t want to tell him about this, so the decision is in your hands.” Raine shrugged it off and reminded Yvette. Yvette knew Raine was threatening her. It was only by now that she knew Raine was an ingrate who still thought about biting back at her, and the mother-daughter trio was up to no good. Raine would resign to her fate, but it did not mean that Yvette would. It was Sunday again in the blink of an eye. A woman and a man were lying on their sides as sunlight shone through the window curtains. Summer was curled up like a ball, while Mark hugged her from behi
It was not until noon that Summer woke up at leisure. In fact, she woke up hungry. She raised her hands and casually tied up her hair with ribbons, and felt an indescribable sense of casualness. She had not eaten spaghetti for a long time and was now craving it. Mark and Charlotte had no objection, and so the three of them went to a nearby Italian restaurant. The weather had gotten colder than before. Charlotte did not have any coats, so they went to a mall and bought bags of clothes. Charlotte picked a small pink coat, Summer a tassel jacket, and Mark a black trench coat. After checking the date, Summer did not plan to accompany Mark back to his office. Instead, she wanted to go to the cemetery because she missed her dad. “I will go with you.” Mark wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Nodding, she went to the florist and bought a bouquet. It was still sunny in the morning, but now it was overcast with clouds, and it seemed that it would not be long before it rained.
