A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 40

Stunned for a moment, she greeted her as she regained her senses, "Hi, mom."

Yvette furrowed her brows as she heard the greeting. I t made her feel uneasy as she did not like what she used to address her.

Taking in her appearance and clothing, "You just got u p?"

Embarrassed, Summer quickly tucked in the loose strands behind her ears and murmured, "Yes," while nodding.

Throwing her a few glances, Yvette did not say anything else other than noting the time, "It's 7:30 a.m.

Summer knew what Yvette was implying to, but didn’t dare to say anything further.

Walking past her, Yvette looked around the living room and sat on the couch, "Where is Mark?"

"He had already left for work," she replied while getting her a glass of water.

"Isn't there any coffee?" Yvette questioned as she watched Summer.

Putting the cup down, Summer looked around and said, "Sorry mom, there's only wine and alcohol here."

"It's fine then," Yvette said and leaned in her seat. "I actually came to tell you something."

Summer wondered what the news could be about.

"It's almost the new year’s in a few days, and I want both of you to move into the Valentine mansion," stated Yvette.

'Moving into the Valentine mansion?!’ Summer gasped to herself.

She could not believe her ears. She could hear her heart pounding anxiously as she felt uneasy with the news.

She knew grandpa Gordon did not fancy her, and this woman who was only her mother-in-law on paper would not go easy on her if they were to live together i n the Valentine mansion. 'How would I survive?' she pondered.
