A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 41

As she entered the living room, Summer saw Gordon attentively reading the newspaper as he sat on the leather recliner sofa.

With his serious-looking appearance, the military service uniform he was dressed in has made Gordon look especially stern and solemn.

She greeted him as she bit her lower lip, "Hello, grandfather."

Without even batting an eye at her, he continued to flip through the newspaper as if he had not heard her at all.

Summer was not too bothered by his response as she had already seen it coming.

With her defined features, Yvette gave out a sophisticated vibe as she was brewing her afternoon coffee.

Summer greeted her as well, "Hello, mom."

"Oh. You’re back." Unlike Gordon, Yvette responded and continued to say, "The maids had already tidied u p your room. She'll guide you there in a moment."

A soft but high-pitched voice rang through, "So this is big brother's wife. Right, auntie?"

A slender figure dressed lavishly in black appeared before Summer. Taking Summer's appearances in, she

looked at her from head to toe.

Furrowing her brows, Lily Marsh said in a hostile tone, "This is what big brother fell in love with? She doesn't look any special."

"Lily! How could you?" Yvette scolded lightly and turned to Summer, "Please, don’t mind Lily. She means no harm; she’s just used to speaking very directly, you see. Try to bear with her, alright?"

Glancing at Lily, Summer gave a light smile, "Yes, mom. I will," then, with slight sarcasm in her voice, she continued, "How could I not, especially to such a cute and truthful girl she is."

Looking haughty as she heard Summer’s reply, Lily did not sense the sarcasm and thought that Summer thought she was much inferior than her to deserving o f Mark too.

'So what if they’re married? I will break them up!' Lily thought.

Hearing their brief interaction and feeling cautious, Yvette stopped her actions momentarily as she poured her coffee. She then requested for the maid and dismissed Summer off to her room.
