A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 110

"He oversees the operation in Grudin North. He can't leave since such a tragic disaster has happened here."

Summer continued to ask, "What about Aunt?”

The pen nib in his hand paused. "It is up to her. No one can force it on her."

It was as good as saying nothing. Summer turned around and went about packing her luggage.

They had been staying in Grudin North for over a week now. But it felt like they had just arrived yesterday.

Perhaps time flew when she was happy.

Had she not seen what happened this morning, she could have been even happier, she thought.

There were few things to pack, and almost all the luggage was hers. So she thought she might as well shove everything into the suitcase.

After that, she went to bed. Mark was still working. She glanced at him a few times before slipping under the cold quilt.

The backlog of work over the past few days piled up like a small mountain.

Now and then, he would change into a different sitting

posture, wrinkling his brow slightly with his lips pursed, and occasionally tapping his fingers on the table, making a series of crisp sounds.

Something came to mind. He stopped the tapping and glanced over at Summer, who seemed to have fallen asleep.

As the lullaby-like tapping sound stopped, Summer came out of her trance.

She looked over at him with her half-closed eyes. He stopped what he was doing and glanced at her, as if h e was afraid of waking her up.
