A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 446

"I have waited for four years. What I want to hear is not 'sorry' or about you feeling guilty. You know these are not the words I want to hear..."

"I know what you have wished for. Unfortunately, I can't grant your wish, Raine. What's done is done, and I should not make things worse. I can't give you what you want. I can only choose the right time to make things clear. I will try to make up for what I owe you..."

She had almost been raped, and she was pushed down the cliff, causing her face to be disfigured. These were all because of Mark Valentine, and he had the obligation to compensate for her loss.

The tears were flowing down her cheeks endlessly, like a stream of water dripping, clounding her vision. She forced a smile. "How are you going to make up for it?"

"I will do my best to compensate for your loss..." Compensating her was all he could do.

"I thought we were different from other couples, but reality told me otherwise. We were in love for a dozen years. I thought we were finally together after going through thick and thin. Yet, in the end, you have fallen in love with another woman." 1 'Why do you have to give me such a big surprise when I have just returned home?'

Tears were streaming down Raine's face. Her voice was tremulous. She put down Charlotte, got up, and left the room. 1

Charlotte sat there. Apparently, she did not understand what the adults were talking about. She titled her head and asked, "Uncle, you made auntie cry."

"Go sleep." He retracted his gaze. Lay her down and covered her with the quilt. "Sleep tight."

Closing her eyes, Charlotte fell asleep. Mark had not slept yet. His eyes were narrowed as he leaned against the window. He, indeed, owed Raine a lot.

Early the next morning.
