The intensity of Mark’s gaze dug deep into her. It stared through her soul, consuming her whole. His tone of voice was low, but humble and pleading.
He was wearing a dark-colored suit over a white shirt and a silver-gray tie at the neckline. The extravagance that radiated from him was extremely elegant, and it was in stark contrast to his imploring words. He was not the kind of person who'd lower his voice.
But when it came to love, who would not be humble?
Her heart was trembling and beating fast, but the words that came out were still the same. "Mark, you cannot act this way anymore. We can't do this anymore."
"No matter what, as long as you say it, I will make it happen. Summer, I'm not kidding..."
Mark's words could not have been more serious; even his sunken eyes became deeper. His seriousness made people feel a little flustered.
Summer's heart was messed up, panicked, moved, and even, just a little bit, she might impulsively say yes to him. She was terribly frightened of him being so focused and serious.
She just forced herself to shake her head in silence.
"Just one last time, is it really impossible between us? " He gazed into her eyes a little deeper, and his voice became hoarse.
Summer nodded her head as she sounded in a low and dull voice.
His arms around her tightened further as he was struck by her words, they were like sharp, thin silver needles, piercing the tender flesh of his heart; It felt hurt as the pain spread out.
