Mark raised his deep eyes, moving from Raine, who was a little unsteady and very agitated, to Summer, who was stubborn. He frowned; moving his thin lips, and said, "You, go back first..."
Summer had no intention of leaving. She looked him straight in the eye and continued, "My words will be brief. I can finish them in two sentences.”
Raine, however, apparently did not want to hear a single word from Summer at this point, and her chest heaved violently as she coughed achingly under pressure.
Mark was still frowning. "You go back first. We’ll talk about it later...” There was a hint of impatience in his tone.
Summer, of course, recognized the impatience in his tone. With a sarcastic curve of her lip, she took the divorce agreement out of her bag and handed it to Mark, saying, "Not later. Just sign here and I'll leave immediately."
Mark's long fingers gripped the document in his big palm. When he saw the few words, his big hand clenched the document and his eyes stared at her grimly.
"We had said before that we would get divorced, but only after a year. Now, I just moved it up earlier."
No words. Mark just clenched the document, his face seeming as though it was covered with dark clouds.
She released Raine and let her fall off the cliff!
And he saved her at that critical moment, despite what she had done. Yet she had not spoken a word to him since she awoke, except to hand him a letter of divorce papers.
Who did she think she was? She had him, Mark, in the palm of her hand!
"You can't take back what you’ve said, Mr. Valentine. You won't sign the papers because you have feelings for me? But I'm sorry, I don’t have any feelings for Mr. Valentine..."
Summer knew exactly what would push his buttons, what would make him angry.
