A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 426

Summer turned and walked straight out of the room, and just as she was about to brush past him, his big hand clamped on her wrist.

Mark had regained his calm and cool self. He pressed his thin lips together tightly, and had clearly realized that no matter how he tried to explain, it was useless.

"I am not an emotional person, even to the point of being insensitive. Raine and I grew up together, and I can’t deny that she was the first woman I ever fell in love with.

But after getting married to you, I have been attracted t o you bit by bit since I got along with you day and night.

I got used to living with you and the way you made me feel, but I didn't realize it.

Or should I say, that I've never seriously thought about it. I’ve only been with you for a few months, and I thought I only have a short-lived interest in you, but I didn’t expect it to be love. The love of a few months I have for you is enough to outweigh decades of love.

At that moment when I saved you from the cliff in spite of my anger, I felt at ease. And I felt crazy. You cannot imagine the shock and guilt I felt for Raine...”

Narrowing his eyes, his voice sank deeper and deeper: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought you makeup, and I wouldn’t have lied when you asked me where I was when I got home from a late-night meeting with her. Neither such things nor such actions would be my usual behavior. I have never been a player or a heartless person...”

Today alone, he had made many exceptions, all for the first time. This was the first time he said 'I love you', and the first time he said so much to explain one thing.

Anyway, he was responsible for this ending...

Her eyelashes moved gently and her body shivered slightly. She did not look back at him. Her face was calm, but she pushed away his heavy grip on her." Maybe. I'm gonna go take Charlotte home. He is still waiting for us at home..."

Who was the 'he' referring to? It goes without saying. The one simple word made Mark tense all over his body, as if he was going to be strained to death.
