A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 47

Meanwhile, feeling furious from what she witnessed, Nancy's chest heaved.

The 'punishment', however, did not persist as the oh s o powerful, Mr. Valentine had spoken up in Summer's defense.

"Tsk tsk, you sure are protective of her!" Grace sighed a s she could not stand the gentleness of his tone.

Complaining, Billy huffed, "I was rendered exhausted t o the brink of death during your first night! Don't you think this punishment is too light, Mr. Valentine?"

Mark smirked as he replied in a graceful yet lazy tone, "What do you propose then?"

As he heard the unusual tone, Billy gave a light cough before suggesting, "How about a few rounds of billiards?"

Facing Billy, Charlie scoffed lightly and booed at his suggestion.

"Why don't you give it a go? You don't know what I've been through," Billy said defiantly.

As he did not want to end up like Billy, Charlie gave a simple excuse, "Before I get married and had my first night, I'll pass for now."

Billy rolled his eyes in playful annoyance at him.

Later, Mark, Charlie and Billy were playing billiards while the women were chatting on the couch.

Mark stepped out of the suite after a while.

Lifting his head to look at his friend, Billy asked," Where are you going?"

"To the washroom." Mark's voice lingered as he left.

Nancy's eyes had a glint of emotions as she noticed Mark leave. Then, she turned to Summer and said," Summer, I’ll head to the washroom for a bit."

Leaving enough distance to not get caught, Nancy quietly followed behind Mark.

She stood behind a pot of plants while waiting for Mark in front of the washroom.

At the same time, thoughts flooded her mind, 'I used to think Summer was my closest friend.'
