“You’re an educator, yet you don’t have the answer for the question you’ve asked,” pausing, he shifted a bit in his seat and fixed his posture as he continued, “you still have much to learn and improve on, don’t you think so, my wife?” Summer was rendered speechless. ‘He called me his wife so publicly…,’ feeling surprised, she thought.Despite feeling a pang of pain, Raine still plastered a soft smile on her face. No one except for herself could tell how much her heart hurts at that moment.‘He didn’t even spare me a single glance ever since I’ve returned,’ she thought bitterly.‘And yet they look so happy and blissful interacting with each other.’ After breakfast, Raine had insisted on taking a cab to the municipal office as she had claimed that it was not that far away. Since she seemed persistent in going by herself, Summer did not press her to stay any further, and after they bid their farewells, Raine left. She had worn a black cardigan paired with a long frilly skirt

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

“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

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

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
