A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 384

In the apartment.

While preparing dinner, Maria could not help sighing when she saw the quiet living room.

When Charlotte and her mom were here, the place was always full of life and laughter and the child’s innocent voice. But now...

She could see that although Charlotte’s mom and Mark were constantly giving each other cold shoulder, they had feelings for each other.

Mark was unsmiling and had an intimidating, stony face.

But since Charlotte and Charlotte's mom came along, things had been different. Maria could see a smile always hanging on Mark’s lips, his expression never this soft.

They had been getting along like a happy family for the past few days.

But now, alas!

Mark walked in just then, and the first thing he did was ask, "Are they back?"

Maria shook her head. "I called Ms. Hart last night, and she agreed to come. But she hasn't come back yet."

Mark's brows were raised slightly. He spun his tall body around and walked out of the house. Maria quickly asked, "What about the dinner, Mr. Valentine?"

"Carry on. I am going to get them." Mark was heard saying, but he was already out of Maria's sight.
