A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 49

'Can this woman hear herself? I can’t believe her,’ Summer thought begrudgingly.

Meanwhile, Nancy spotted something which made her look in a daze. Her eyes glinted as she was staring at Summer.

Nobody could tell what was in Nancy’s head at that moment. As for the women's conversation, it seemed t o get more vulgar as compared to the men's conversation.

Especially with the presence of Grace, their conversation would only revolve around such topics.

Only Nancy has kept silent from the beginning towards the end. Both her expressions and eyes looked glum and dull.

Long after, it was getting late. After receiving a call, Grace picked up her red fur coat from the couch and left immediately.

Mark and the gang had entered the room after finishing their game of billiards.

Hanging his coat on his arm casually, Billy gracefully pulled Sherman close to him and bade goodbye before leaving.

Charlie squinted his eyes and looked around as if he was looking for someone. Mark, who was standing

beside him, took a few glances at him with his eyes crinkled slightly.

As people were leaving one-by-one, Nancy did not spare a glance at Mark. She was scared of his gaze, or rather, she did not dare to look at him, especially after what happened.

"Summer, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave first!” said Nancy hurriedly. Without waiting for Summer to give a reply, she quickly got into a taxi and left.

When Summer came back to her senses, the taxi had left without a trace.

Furrowing her brows, Summer was worried about Nancy as she seemed off the whole night. She thought Nancy looked as if she had something bugging her, and she assumed it was regarding Nancy's brother.

The black Land Rover drove in the night as the snow was falling peacefully.

Summer hesitated for a moment before speaking up slowly and tentatively, "You’ve met Nancy’s brother before, right?"

"Yes," he replied as his eyes shifted to her for a while. With his brows raised, he knew what she was about to say, but he remained silent.
