A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 269

However, Mark showed no signs of shock towards her arrival. His brows tightened as his gaze turned deep." Why are you here?"

Smiling, Raine answered, "Grandma told me that the both of you were here, that’s why I came along as well. Besides, I heard good things about the scenery here. The view is gorgeous throughout the whole year."

The corner of Summer's lips curled upwards as she listened to what Raine had to say. Behind her smile was nothing but scorn and coldness.

'It could all be a lie; she could have other motives...'

"What about your recovery?" His brows remained knitted with complexity. His expression was unreadable.

"I'm feeling much better now. The doctor said that I'm okay now. I could even run." His concern had Raine feeling like she was on cloud nine.

Summer clenched her fist as she Listened to them talk like they were the only two people in the room. Her fingers were digging into the palm of her hand, but the pain was the reason that she could have a sense of clarity.

There was no need for her to stay at such a place. She put on a coat over her sleepwear; ignoring them as she walked past them and left the house.

The villa was a detached house surrounded by nature. Though the night sky was dark, the streetlights alone were enough to show the beauty of the night view.

The air was refreshing and cold, and a whiff of it was enough to wake one up. Summer's heavy heart was cleared as she took in the fresh air.

She followed the stone path and walked until she reached the end before turning around and walking back; still following the stone path.

It was 8 PM when she left the house. But when she got back, it was already 10 PM.

The two hours she spent outside was neither too long nor short, but it was probably enough for Mark and Baine to finish their conversation. She planned to turn a blind eye and go back to her room to get some rest.
