A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 155

Aside from what happened to Sherman, which exhausted her, this New Year wasn’t at all bad...

The next morning.

Raine woke up early and was strolling in the back garden at 6:00 am. In fact, she had a sleepless night.

Her insomnia had kept her awake even though her eyes were closed.

Lifting her head, she saw a stout figure approaching.

He had a habit of jogging around the back garden at 6:3 0 am every morning, and it had been ever since the last ten odd years.

Mark was jogging along the winding track of the garden. He exhibited the vigor and gracefulness as those of a lion.

Raine observed him secretly as he approached from afar, drawing closer to her.

Yet, he did not seem to notice her. There was not the slightest change in his expression. As he was about to pass by her, she called out, "Mark!"

His attention shifted onto her, and he responded calmly, "Yes, Raine?”

His gaze made Raine anxious, and she was jeering at

herself.

She was at a lost for words, her arms tightened, and she felt that she had made a joke out of herself.

A while later, feeling uncanny and anxious, she spewed out some words, "Happy New Year...”

Mark stared at her without blinking as if he saw through her, yet he didn't utter a word.
