A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 273

Nothing was spoken between the two as the air remained still. After some time, Raine broke the silence and said, "Do you know why I fell down the stairs the other day?"

Mark's gaze shifted slightly. His tone was oddly cold and flat. "Why?”

"Summer and Yvette got into an argument that day. I a m not going to deny that it was Yvette who brought up the contradictory topic. But there was also no denying that Summer pushed her. I wouldn’t have fallen otherwise," said Raine. Never in a million years would she have thought that she would become such a despicable person.

Mark's eyes remained deep as he responded coldly," It's in the past. There is no point talking about it anymore.”

His words caught Raine off guard as she was not expecting him to say something so apathetic to such a matter.

She thought he would start questioning about the incident that day and find out the cause of the fight. After all, it was his own biological mother whom Summer pushed down the stairs!

His actions showed that he trusted Summer fully and unconditionally. This made her even more cautious.

"Well, it seems like Summer really hates me. But who a m I kidding? What I am doing now is unacceptable to anybody. How could I still expect her to like me?" Baine chuckled ironically, trying to change the subject.

Mark ignored her as he pulled his toned body up from the bench and said, "The night is very cold. You have just recovered, so you shouldn't be here for too long. W e should head back to the villa."

They barely spent twenty minutes together and have only exchanged a few lines. Baine felt disappointed as she said mulishly, "But I want to be here for a little longer. Can you stay with me?"

Mark took off his black coat and draped it over her shoulders. His voice turned deep. "Don't be stubborn. Let's go."

She could feel the warmth of his coat through her shirt, which melted away all her sadness. A smile spread across her cheeks as she stood up. "Hey Mark, i t feels like we’re back to three years ago."

His lips twitched ever so slightly, but he remained silent. He just continued to wrap the coat around her tighter.
