As she put the invitation card away, Summer glanced around the private room and asked again, “Where’s Charlotte?”Without words or an answer to her question, Mark stood up and his long legs strode forward. His huge hand suddenly gripped her wrist and before she knew it, he had pulled the ring off her finger.Startled, Summer looked at him angrily and asked, “Mark, what are you doing!”Mark glanced at her coldly, his razor-thin lips curving up sarcastically and then looking down at the ring in his palm. “Just so-so…”“You despise the ring, but someone will like it. Give me back my ring!” Summer’s voice was already tinged with anger.Mark listened as he raised an eyebrow and his eyes turned cold. “Of course someone will like it. Ha, that someone is my beloved ex-wife, isn’t it?”She met his eyes without avoiding them, nodded and stretched out her hand. “The ring!”“Ha…” He smiled faintly and said, “But the last word I want to hear right now is the ring!”Summer found it ironic an

She had been holding responsibility for that incident for four years, and she did not care if it lasted longer. It did not matter to her, anyway.But after hearing his words, she suddenly did not want to be held responsible for it. She did not benefit from that incident.Charlotte would surely go back to the Valentine family. She did not want Charlotte to hear from Yvette or Raine that her mommy had been a murderer.“It appears to you that I let go of Raine off the cliff, but have you ever wondered that if I wanted Raine to fall off the cliff, why would I try to catch her when she fell? Wouldn’t it be nice if she just fell? Why should I make it harder for myself?I was clinging to the cliff with my hands and my feet against the cliff. If I had not tried to save her, there was a fifty-fifty chance I would have climbed up the cliff. I fell off the cliff because my strength was exhausted by holding her. It’s true you saved me, but I’m not the lucky one you think I am, Mark Valentine!”

Summer turned and walked straight out of the room, and just as she was about to brush past him, his big hand clamped on her wrist.Mark had regained his calm and cool self. He pressed his thin lips together tightly, and had clearly realized that no matter how he tried to explain, it was useless.“I am not an emotional person, even to the point of being insensitive. Raine and I grew up together, and I can’t deny that she was the first woman I ever fell in love with.But after getting married to you, I have been attracted to you bit by bit since I got along with you day and night.I got used to living with you and the way you made me feel, but I didn’t realize it.Or should I say, that I’ve never seriously thought about it. I’ve only been with you for a few months, and I thought I only have a short-lived interest in you, but I didn’t expect it to be love. The love of a few months I have for you is enough to outweigh decades of love.At that moment when I saved you from the cliff in

Anyway, including today, Summer will only be away for two days. She repeated instructions again and again before leaving with Charlotte.The car was still parked by the flower bed. Seeing her figure, Mark got out of the car and said, “Get in.”He fell asleep in the car. His hair and clothes were messy, his shirt was wrinkled, and his eyes were bloodshot, but it did not demean his beauty at all.“We’re going to the train station, there’s no need to get in the car, and the two are opposite directions.”The smell of smoke from him was strong, and Summer slightly wrinkled up her nose in discomfort.“Your train ticket has been cancelled and replaced by a plane ticket. The plane leaves at ten o’clock. There’s not much time left.” He looked at the time.“Who are you to make decisions for me?” She looked calm, but a little annoyed.“I didn’t make the decision, Charlie did. You can get angry at him at Santabaca,” Mark calmly explained.Summer was speechless at the explanation, but he ha

There was another ping after a moment. She furrowed her brows and tapped onto the message. It wrote, "You're really asleep?"She decided to delete all of his messages, yet again, another ping could be heard. She knew it was from him, so she ignored it. She had made a decision to leave it be. Her phone did not ring again afterward. She shifted her gaze before closing them and laid on her side. She had awoken quite early the next day. When she tapped on her phone to check the time, she had accidentally tapped onto the message, which said, "Good night." Her hand froze slightly. Feeling unbothered, she closed the message and noticed the time. It was 5 a.m. She got up immediately and woke Charlotte up. She was the bridesmaid while her daughter was tasked to be the flower girl. 'We can’t be late,' she thought.Charlotte did not want to wake yet. She rubbed her eyes with her soft hands and turned aside to snuggle against Daisy's arms as she resisted to wake. As she was worried abo
