A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 424

She had been holding responsibility for that incident for four years, and she did not care if it lasted longer. I t did not matter to her, anyway.

But after hearing his words, she suddenly did not want to be held responsible for it. She did not benefit from that incident.

Charlotte would surely go back to the Valentine family. She did not want Charlotte to hear from Yvette or Baine that her mommy had been a murderer.

"It appears to you that I let go of Baine off the cliff, but have you ever wondered that if I wanted Baine to fall off the cliff, why would I try to catch her when she fell? Wouldn’t it be nice if she just fell? Why should I make it harder for myself?

I was clinging to the cliff with my hands and my feet against the cliff. If I had not tried to save her, there was a fifty-fifty chance I would have climbed up the cliff. I fell off the cliff because my strength was exhausted by holding her. It’s true you saved me, but I’m not the lucky one you think I am, Mark Valentine!"

Raine's dangerous situation, coupled with what Summer had said, had created a real sense of disgust i n him.
