A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 244

She couldn't afford to leave her position as she still had many tasks to work on. She could only pacify him with her words. Mark was satisfied at her response, and he walked out of Raine’s room while still talking o n the phone.

But before he left, he looked at her deeply, showing her an inexplicable expression...

As he disappeared before her, a beautiful but proud Raine finally slumped into the sofa after holding on to a straight posture. She was hurt as if pierced by needles; and the density of the pain caused her to be out of breath.

Not only didn't he answer her question, but he left while jovially speaking to Summer on the phone; moreover... he had ignored her presence.

Her heart filled with anxiety. She was afraid, afraid that Mark had fallen for Summer...

Because, never once had he treated her in this manner

Thus, she couldn't leave the situation to advance further for she was certain that its result wasn't something she could endure.

Summer thought that he would instruct Harry to deliver the coursework; but instead, he had showed up personally.

She was still organizing the files on her desk when suddenly, she was startled by a sound of breathing. She turned around only to find Mark clad in a black jacket and standing behind her.

She received the books from him and studied him carefully. Then, she filled a cup of warm water from the dispenser and handed it to him. "Why didn't you let Harry send them?"

Mark slid his big hands along the side of the cup as he sat his tall figure on her seat. "Mrs. Valentine doesn't want to meet me?"
