A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 36

Taking in the changes of their expressions, Summer knew that the good impression she had left on Gordon had faded away by now.

She sighed to herself, 'Surely they would make it difficult for me now.’

Suddenly, another hoarse voice rang, "Was everything I heard true?"

Walking towards Summer, Jazz looked at her fiercely with his fists clenched. As she turned to face him, he angrily spitted out his question, "Miss Hart, are all of the things my brother said true?”

Gritting her teeth, "Jazz...," she mumbled.

"Miss Hart, have you really gotten married to him?" he yelled at her. Filled with anger, his eyes had gotten redder by the minute.

Mark took a step forward and shielded Summer behind him. He narrowed his eyes, and in a deepened tone, he asked his brother, "Is this how you should talk to your sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law? Hah!"

Snickering sarcastically, Jazz turned on his heel and ran out, leaving the living room.

Exasperated, she called out to him, "Jazz, get back here!"

Turning a deaf ear to his mother, he left without looking back.

Summer mumbled his name under her breath. She felt tempted to chase after him.

As she took her first step towards his direction, Mark kept a hold of her and pulled her back. His eyes darkened. While looking at where his brother left, he said "He's not a child anymore, you don't have to worry.”

Feeling uneasy and unconvinced, she mumbled, "But..."

He leaned slightly against her and folded his arms. " Tell me, what were you going to tell him if you had caught up to him?" he asked her.

She could not come up with a reply. She knew that this was reality, and there was nothing else she could say to comfort him.

Eyes filled with disgust and displeasure; Gordon gave her a cold-eyed stare before turning to leave.
