A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 174

Summer let out a soft sigh. "You can swallow vinegar t o get rid of the thorn in your throat. But what do you need to swallow when it is a thorn in our heart?"

"I don't know, but the only thing I know is that I will swallow anything as long as I can get rid of the thorn. Come, drink with me."

"It is his birthday today. I can't go right now. Once it's over, I will find you, okay?"

She coaxed Sherman like a child, with patience and a soft voice.

As sad as Sherman felt, she was still sensible. "Sure, Summer."

After hanging up, Summer let out a long sigh. She knew how Sherman felt, and she felt sorry for her. But how could she help her?

She collected her thoughts and glanced toward the dining hall before heading to the washroom.

She knew she would tense up again as soon as she returned to the dining hall. She wanted to relax her mind. Besides, she had nature's call to answer.

When she came in front of the washroom and was about to push the door open, she heard voices coming from the inside.

Stopping and tilting her head, she listened in. She froze on the spot like boulder when she recognized the voices.

The voices belonged to Raine and Mark, respectively.

It gave her the chills. She held her breath, standing there without making a sound as he peeked in from behind the door.

Raine and Mark were facing each other, only one step apart from each other.
