A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 138

Next early morning.

Mark glanced at the time with his eyes barely open. It was 7:00 am. The sky was still dark.

He looked at her, who was sleeping beside him. She n o longer slept in her usual position, which was to snuggle into his arms and hug him.

Instead, she slept by curling up like a baby on the edge of the bed with her back facing him.

His brow tightened. Her sleeping posture angered him. He pursed his lips and hissed. How he wished he could strangle her.

But she did not avoid him any further than that.

Just then, his phone vibrated. He pulled back his eyes and picked up the phone, then whisked the quilt away and got out of bed.

"Mr. Valentine, I am calling to remind you about the inspection trip to New Haven Plaza at nine in the morning," his assistant, Harry, said over the phone.

"Okay.” He stepped into the bathroom and hung up the phone.

He then went into the dressing room. When he reemerged, he was in his business suit, looking

stalwart and charming. He glanced at the dressing table before he left.

It was 8:00 am, not too early nor too late, when Summer woke up. Mark was already nowhere to be seen.

She went downstairs and took a stroll in the garden at the back of the mansion for a few rounds. The fresh air made her feel better. She no longer felt so depressed.

Yvette was not there during breakfast. So she breathed a sigh of relief, as she could finally have her breakfast alone and in peace.
