A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 252

He readied his steps to go after her, but Raine held him back by his arms. She fixed her gaze upon him, determined to not let him go.

Mark frowned and looked at Raine; puzzled by her actions.

"I'm asking you one last time; do you still want me?”

Raine stretched her beautiful collar and stared at him, her slender fingers turned slightly pale due to the pressure as they dug into his coat.

Mark’s lips formed a line and his throat rumbled. When he was about to speak, Raine interrupted.

"Nobody understands me better than you do. Did you know how hard was it for me to say such simple words? I feel so ashamed, but I am clearly aware that I would certainly regret it my entire life if I had not said them; and now, I've said it the second time..."

Tears welled up in her eyes like dewdrops accompanied by a little bit of crying, as she let her fingers slowly cruise downward along her dress.

"I specially wore this long dress today that you gave m e three years ago even though I was afraid that you wouldn't remember it."

Following her gaze, Mark's attention fell onto the long

vintage dress.

He was surprised when he first saw it. But now, he didn’t feel anything except that it was just another long dress.

"I know that many things can change in three years, but I firmly believe that your love for me has never changed; or had you fallen for Summer during your time with her?"

"In fact, this question had constantly circled around m y thoughts when I asked if you had fallen for her. I had wanted to ask yet I was afraid that I would be tormented by your answer. But now, I will not let myself be tormented anymore. Although I’m afraid, I still want to hear your answer directly!"
