A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 144

Yvette looked at Raine, her eyes flickering. "I almost forgot about Raine. Do you want to join us, Raine?"

"I have a gathering with my friends in the afternoon. S o I am afraid that I can't join you guys."

Raine said with a clean and tactful smile, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Mark.

Mark did not seem to notice her glances. He sipped his coffee and glanced sideways at the woman beside him.

Summer ignored the conversation between the two of them. She ate her oatmeal and occasionally talked with Jazz in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Mark narrowed his eyes a little as he kept an eye on the two.

"Well then, we will leave in a minute," Yvette said with a smile.

After eating breakfast, the three of them headed out, leaving only Raine and Jazz in the living room.

Jazz looked at the time and lazily stretched, then got u p from the settee. "I am leaving, Aunt." "Where are you going?" Raine pulled her mind back

and asked in puzzlement.

"My part-time job, of course. It is still ongoing. I don't get a break on New Year's Day.”

"Is this necessary, Jazz?" Raine frowned.

"It is not out of necessity, Aunt. I enjoy doing this. I am preparing for the future.”

He shook his head and hummed a song in his mouth." No one understands my world, only I know myself, I a m waiting for the day in the future, when it will shine...’’

He hummed as he walked out of the Valentine mansion. He was full of the charm of youth.

Except for the servants who walked and forth, Raine was the only person in the living room.

Tomorrow would be New Year's Day. Yvette instructed the servants to clean the house thoroughly, letting no stone unturned, so to speak.

Raine suddenly had a strong feeling, wondering if Yvette was still finding any meaning in her life.
