As Summer was cutting potatoes, the door opened and Mark walked in. She smiled and said, "Welcome back."
"Yea...” Mark responded lightly, his eyes giving her a meaningful stare.
Summer did not notice it. She bustled around in the kitchen in an apron. "Wash your hands first. The food will be ready soon."
Mark did not move. He leaned aside, moving his thin lips, and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn’t you use the card I gave you?"
Summer, still holding the spoon in her hand, paused slightly at Mark's question and said, “I am not in need of money, and I am not really buying anything, so I did not use it. Do you need the card? I will get it for you now."
Hearing this, Mark's anger, which had been building u p all day, was on the verge of exploding. His face looked sullen and his eyes were as cold as ice, staring at her coldly as if he could see through her mind.
She was lying...
He gave her the card before she borrowed money from Sherman. Since she already had the card, why did she borrow from Sherman instead?
She would rather spend Sherman’s money than his. It was ironic, and it pissed him off. To her, was he less important than Sherman?
Just then, the phone vibrated. He then calmed the anger burning in his eyes and picked up the phone. The caller ID was: Raine.
His eyes were slightly fixed on the screen for a moment. As his long finger was about to swipe across the screen, he thought of something. He glanced at Summer in the kitchen, then walked to the window away from the kitchen, and answered the call.
However, it was not Raine who spoke, but the servant a t Valentine mansion.
She said she did not know what was wrong with Raine. She was suffering. Her face was pale, she was sweating from pain, and she could not even stand up.
Hearing this, Mark quickly hung up the phone, picked up his silver-gray coat, and walked to the door quickly. 1
Summer caught him trotting towards the door. She asked from behind him, puzzled, "Where are you going now? Dinner is almost ready."
