A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 33

"Thanks," said Mark, taking over the gift boxes.

She stared at him in astonishment. Never did she expect for him to be so mindful of her parents; she couldn’t help but feel moved.

When the couple walked in, Daisy and Solomon were setting up the table. They were stunned to see a gorgeous looking man dressed in a dark cashmere coat next to their daughter.

Solomon was the first to break the silence, "Summer, introduce your friend to us."

Feeling nervous, she bit down on her lip thinking of the most appropriate way to explain.

Mark stepped forward to stand close to her and snaked his arm around her. Surprised by his actions, she lifted her head to meet his eyes.

However, he was looking ahead at her parents. He gave a small smile and greeted them.

Upon seeing the intimate gesture, Daisy and Solomon knew something was up. Both of them looked at each other and thought of the same thing, 'Since when did Summer start dating?"

Solomon winked and signalled Daisy to say something. Putting down the cutleries and plates and

wanting to confirm the obvious, "I assume you’re Summer's boyfriend?"

"Actually, Mrs- Mom, Summer and I have already been wedded, and she is one month pregnant now," Mark stated in a polite yet graceful manner portraying his grace and charm.

Summer, on the other hand, was freaking out especially when he announced her pregnancy. It was truly nerve-wrecking for her, and she felt herself stiffening up more by the minute.

'Married and pregnant?!’ Gaping at them, Solomon stood there aghast.

Daisy too, did not take the news well. She felt faint and had to lean against the table for support. Feeling out of breath, she asked weakly, “Tell me! Is what he said true?"

She couldn't believe the little girl who she watched and took care of, her baby girl who never even had a boyfriend, was now married and even pregnant!

'What mother am I when I don't even know what happened to my daughter?' she thought.
