A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 485

"Are you trying to seduce me, Summer?" he asked with his brows raised. His eyes glinted with mischief a s he gave her a once-over.

Hearing so, she pinched his soft side on his waist and said, "Could you quit fooling around?"

"Isn't there a saying that says girls love bad boys? I would just be pretending if I were to act gentlemanly now," he said as he lightly patted her forehead.

She was rendered speechless. She wondered, 'Why hadn't I realized how good he was in bantering?', and said, "It's such a waste that you're not a lecturer with this talent of yours."

He reached out and held onto her chin somewhat tightly with his fingers. His tongue twirled around her lips and replied, "Having one lecturer in the family is sufficient enough, or else it would be an apocalypse when we have an argument, so having talent in speech isn't all that good. I would be in charge of working and getting what we need whereas you can take care of us and educate our children. That's the greatest plan of all."

Summer looked at him with her eyes glimmering brightly. It looked like sunlight was being reflected off the water, glistening and shining beautifully. Her

heart felt full of love and tenderness.

And she thought, 'So this is what it feels like to be with someone you love so dearly. It feels perfect even i f we're just sitting and staring quietly like this.'

"Rest for a bit," she said while patting the spot beside her, "It's almost 1 a m., and you'd have to get to the office again tomorrow. Lie down and rest."

His thin lips curled into a smile. He bent over and took off his leather shoes. Then, he laid down next to her.

The bed wasn't spacious, so it felt slightly cramped up for two adults sleeping together. Mark was lying on his side, and he turned her to lie on her side too as he pulled her into his chest.

His chin had rested on top of her head. He fished out his cell and set an alarm before closing his eyes to rest. He had planned to leave after an hour.

His warm, masculine and pleasant scent had engulfed her senses. It had gotten late, and soon, she fell asleep after wrapping her arms around him.

Their bodies had clung together tightly and had left n o space in between. The air in the room felt warm and cozy.
