A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 178

The corner of her mouth curled up. Her heart was desolated and numbed by his words.

The pain and chills she felt were indescribable. She felt like she had fallen into an ice pit, surrounded by walls of cold ice piercing through her soul.

"I am your wife, is that enough for you?" she said softly as she lifted her head to look at him after a pause.

'I am your wife...'

Mark's dark eyes twitched when he heard the phrase.

"But apparently, that was all in my head. I thought I was your wife, but by the looks of it, I have once again overestimated myself."

Summer continued in a cold and flat voice. Though she still had a faint smile on her face, the pain could almost be heard through her voice.

He looked at the face in front of him, the face that was as big as his palm, not too big nor too small. It looked s o tough, yet so soft and delicate like a flower.

Something tugged on his heartstrings, and he wanted t o stretch out his arm and cup her face. The urge came so unexpectedly strong. He didn’t even realize he was sympathizing with Summer.

Right after she was done speaking, she walked into a cubicle and locked herself in without looking at either of them.

She leaned on the wall in the cubicle, and she could hear very clearly what was happening outside.

However, it was just dead silence. Nothing could be heard other than their breathing. Moments later, she heard the sound of their footsteps walking away.

One after the other, she could hear two different footsteps.

Her cheeks were stiff, and the smile on her face was ever so bitter. Realizing this, she lifted her hands and touched her face.

She then pushed the cubicle door open and walked out. She did not go back to the restaurant but straight t o the elevator. She reached out and pressed the button going down.

Why should she care about his birthday anyway?
