A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 12

Summer was sandwiched between the seat and Mark. His hand posture remained as it was before, but their faces almost touched each other, and there was a zero distance between their lips. "What have I done that makes you think I am flirting with you?”

She could feel his warm breath on her face. She tilted her head back, trembling, but she still gritted her teeth and said unequivocally, "Now you are flirting."

"Really?" Mark's lips curled up in a smirk. There was a click when he pressed down with his finger. "Done.”

'Done what?'

Summer looked at him in puzzlement while he pointed his chin at her chest.

She looked down at where he was pointing. Only then did she notice the seat belt. He was just helping her unfasten the seat belt.

She instantly blushed, as if blood almost surged out of her skin. How she wished the ground would swallow her up.

It was so embarrassing. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.

Mark sat back upright and let go of her hand, his lips curling up slightly. "Shouldn't you apologize for the misunderstanding, Miss Hart?”

It was her fault this time. She blushed and could not find a word to respond. At last, she whispered, "I am sorry.”

"Sorry for what?” Mark's brow furrowed as he was not satisfied with the apology.

She took a deep breath and changed the subject by reminding him. "We have arrived, Mr. Valentine."

But he still did not move. "Why don't you acknowledge your mistake since you apologize?"

It really made her hackles rise. But she gritted her teeth and fought back her anger. "I am sorry that I misunderstood you. I thought you were trying to grope _ 99

me.

"That’s more like it."

Mark raised his eyebrows and then got out of the car. She followed behind, still filled with anger and embarrassment.

The two arrived back at the condo in tandem. Jazz had been waiting in the living room for a long time. When he saw Summer, he broke out in a bright smile.

Mark shot a glanced at Jazz, and Jazz quickly straightened his back and sat upright.

He hissed at Jazz. Casually tossing his black coat on the sofa, he then disappeared into his room.

As soon as Mark disappeared, Jazz breathed a sigh of relief. "Why were you detained by the police, Miss

Hart?" he asked with concern.

"It is a long story. I can't explain everything to you at once now," Summer said.

Jazz shrugged and did not ask further. There was a knowing look on his good-looking face. "I completely understand that. As humans, we lose it sometimes. You are a human, too. Nobody is perfect."

Before his voice trailed off, there was a growling sound coming from Summer's stomach. She frowned, as she had eaten nothing for a day. She was starving. S o she asked Jazz what he would like to eat.

Jazz said he was craving for roasted tomato soup, which he always had during winter. He hadn't had any roasted tomato soup since winter started this year. He wanted it badly today.

Summer let out a smile. She could get out of the police lockup because of Jazz. So she would make him roasted tomato soup to say thank you.

After a shower, Mark changed into casual wear, his hair still dripping wet. As soon as he came out of his room, he heard a crisp sound, as if someone was cutting something.
