Solomon sipped on some tea before sighing as he heard Summer’s complaint and explained, “She came to us and said she had no place to stay. Plus, she has promised never to repeat that mistake. We can’t possibly chase her out; she’s family after all.”“How can you believe anything she spews? Do you not recall what she had done caused us?” she felt furious talking about her as she continued, “You guys are just too soft-hearted, and she is clearly taking advantage of that!”“I guess the older we age, the more compassion we have for other people. You will understand when you’re our age,” Solomon said as he adjusted his glasses before massaging his legs.She took a deep breath before saying, “Well, what I do understand and know now is that she’s just like an annoying piece of gum. No matter how hard we try to pluck her out of our hair, she remains tangled in it.”Summer knew that her hatred alone would not help at all. As long as her parents condoned Amara’s behaviors, even if Summer wer
Summer spoke immediately, “I don’t have any.”Hearing so, Daisy pressed on, “Then do you know how to get them? Maybe you can get some for her.”“Mom, why are you even putting up with her?”“I’m not. It’s just that you know how she is. If you don’t get it for her, she might take it upon herself and possibly cause a big fuss at the banquet. And, all the guests attending are either notable figures or of the ruling class in Santabaca; I can’t bear to see her put my precious daughter in a humiliating situation.”Daisy reasoned as she lowered down her voice, forcing Amara out of earshot. Solomon also agreed, “Yeah. Knowing her, she would surely cause a scene tomorrow at the hotel. Just get some for her.” Summer felt an intense headache forming; it was as if her head was about to explode, and her chest burned with rage whenever she had to deal with anything Amara-related.Amara peeked her head out from the washroom. Calling out to Summer, she obnoxiously asked, “Could you also send s
“Looking for this?” Mark appeared in the kitchen and asked. He held the wallet in his right while holding a lit cigarette in between his fingers on his left.Raine froze and then nodded her head slowly. She smiled as she said, “You found it. I was looking for it around this small area but to no avail. I thought I had lost it.”Acting nonchalant, he leaned over the door and flicked off the ashes of the cigarette, but his eyes were deep with emotion as he asked, “Don’t you have something to explain to me?” “What? I don’t get what you’re saying,” she answered, feigning calm even though she had panicked slightly. He moved his hands as his slender fingers pulled out a picture hidden within the wallet as he blew out a puff of smoke.The photo was small, but it was clear enough to pick up a man and a woman hugging intimately in it. The man was none other than Mark himself, while the woman was Raine. He strode towards her and held her against the door. With their bodies almost pressin
Since she was fully awake and had felt bored lying on the bed, she got dressed and decided to go for a walk beside the garden of the Valentine mansion. The snow had stopped after snowing for the whole night before. The air was cold, but it felt refreshing. Taking a deep breath, she felt nice as the fresh air entered her lungs. Feeling as if all her frustrations are floating away, she thought, ‘Let all those bad memories of what happened float away and be forgotten.’ However, before she could even take a few more steps, her phone rang, and she answered, “Hello? Why are you calling so early, mom?” Daisy sounded exhausted as she said, “Amara kept bugging me to call and remind you about the invitations to the banquet. She’s worried you might forget.” “Mom, can you stop her from annoying me?” Summer replied as she took a seat on a bench. Her jolly mood was instantly ruined. “Just get her some, and I’m sure she’ll quit bugging you. Plus, the banquet ends quite early, so she would
The dark shade of royal blue had contrasted with her pale skin tone beautifully. As it accentuated her complexion, she looked extremely dazzling. The thigh-high slit on the left side of the dress brought out her long slim legs. It was alluring and almost tempting as her legs would only be partly visible occasionally as the skirt flowed. He had not expected for her to look so ravishing in the dress. He had frozen for a moment and felt his blood rush. His eyes darkened, and he swallowed down a gulp before exclaiming, “Change to the next!”He furrowed his brows as he thought, ‘That slit was almost up to her waist. Why are the designs of the dresses here getting so poor?’Summer examined herself in the mirror and thought, ‘Does it look that bad on me? Sure, it’s kind of exposing, but it’s still a pretty dress.’ After going back and forth for quite some time, she had nearly tried on every dress the shop assistant had brought to her, but the picky man outside was not satisfied with
Summer was dressed in a long red strapless dobby mesh tube dress, exposing her neck and defined clavicles. It accentuated her complexion, making her stunning.A matching red veil was draped over her right shoulder and around her waist, and it floated along, drawing beautiful arcs in the air as she walked.Her makeup was light, and her silky black hair was styled with a similar but shorter veil attached in her hair into a low ponytail that rested on top of her shoulders.She had looked enchanting, pristine and flawless. Her dress was not revealing, but it had a subtle alluring feel to it as it fitted on her. It was an indescribable feeling, but her beauty could easily take everyone’s breath away.She hooked her arm around through Mark’s, and he was smartly dressed in a nice suit. His features were defined with his deep dark eyes, and he was easily made the center of attention as he radiated undeniable elegance and grace.Spamming their cameras with pictures, the reporters took and
Mark eyed her swiftly and said, “You don’t feel safe.” “You’re saying as if I’m a man. Well, I’m not, and it’s not like I would do anything inappropriate to her,” she replied as she wondered if she had given off an untrustworthy impression.Snatching the opportunity to butt in, Billy said, “Hey, you guys can brush off the wedding party and return gifts for guests but let me remind y’all that we’re definitely playing that game tonight!” Charlie agreed as well, he said, directing to Mark, “Yeah, bro. You better prepare yourself. You can’t run away this time.” Mark furrowed his brows after taking a short glance at their excited faces. Without giving them a reply, he turned and left. “We can take his silence as his consent, right?” Billy said, bumping his shoulder into Charlie’s.“I think so.” “Let’s plan something extra exciting. Shoot me with the most wicked ideas you have!” Upon hearing the thrill in their voices as they discussed, Sherman shook her head in helplessness as
“You had better believe I will ask my brother-in-law to kick you out of here.” Amara would not back down. She shot Lily a sideways look.Failing to win the argument, Lily went physical. But Amara would not take it lying down.The commotion started to attract attention. Sherman nudged Summer’s arm as she had noticed it, too. “Hey, your sister-in-law is making trouble again?”Summer was getting some shut-eye when she heard Sherman. She opened her eyes and looked over, just in time to see Amara attacking Lily.It was impossible to get a moment of peace when Amara was present.Summer frowned. She walked over and pulled Amara over with one hand. “Knock it off, Amara!”“Not yet! She scratched my face! I swear will destroy hers!”“If you dare to make trouble again, I will instruct the security guards to throw you out!” Summer warned her with a serious face.Amara yielded, but Lily egged her on. “I dare you to do that. Bring it on!”The somewhat cooled down atmosphere heated up again.
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
