A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 177

"I can't trust you anymore. You just showed me that your words carry no weight, you almost seem pretentious..."

Word by word, she spoke slowly but clearly, “You made a promise to me back in Grudin North and I trusted you. But by the looks of it, I guess your promise didn't age well, huh?"

Baine could not respond to what Summer said. Her innocent face flushed with embarrassment.

"Also, there is something that I really don't understand about you," Summer said. "You told me that you don’t love him, yet you are seducing him behind my back, saying that you love him. So tell me, do you actually love him, or do you not?"

Baine bit into her lip with her pearl white teeth, leaving a deep mark on her lower lip.

Summer was still staring at her while she uttered these sharp words.

"You said you had your reason, that you could not love him. That was the reason you left for three years.

Since you already have a reason, shouldn't you bury your feelings at the bottom of your heart? Shouldn't you leave it there and not give it a chance to grow?

Wouldn't it be better if you could just ignore the feelings, move on, and start afresh?"

"But what did you do instead? You said yourself that you had reasons that you can’t talk about - that you could not love him. Yet, here you are confessing your love for him, bringing his hopes up and making him fall for you just to turn the tables and tell him that it was impossible between the both of you. Do you even understand yourself? Do you really know what you actually want and what you have to do?"

Summer’s words left her speechless because every single word that came out of her mouth was like a sharp knife, painfully exposing her secrets.

"Perhaps you might think that you're on the right, but honestly speaking, I am utterly disgusted," her words shot her with irony.

Baine had never been offended like this before. She bit her lips even harder this time as her eyes started t o water, her body shaking from the confrontation.
