"Look at his face, his eyes, nose, and lips. If he wasn't a temptress, what else could he be? Would you be this bewitched if he wasn't a temptress?"
Mark being a temptress...
Summer almost spit the water that she was drinking o n the temptress' face. 'Only Daisy could come up with such expressions!'
In another setting...
A huge pile of documents was laid in front of Yvette. She had a clear glass of water in her hand as she looked through Mark's activities in Grudin North and Santabaca, especially those that were done behind closed doors.
Suddenly, her eyes widened when she caught sight of one file!
'Summer Hart's the biological daughter of that woman, Samantha...'
She clenched her jaw as she read through the report. Every detail was written clearly, so there were definitely no mistakes.
She could not find any negative news about Ronald in Grudin North. Even if she searched to the bottom of the earth, she still would not be able to find anything, a
s Ronald was a cautious man. How could he leave traces for people to track him?
However, the report on Summer and Samantha’s relationship was recent. It was apparent that he had not planned to cover anything up.
She confidently concluded that it was not Ronald's first time having an affair. In fact, he might have even been with Samantha for a long time...
Yvette would surely give them hell!
Ronald had been lying to her for the past few years. When she fully trusted him, he was doing such dirty things behind her back!
Her chest was rising and falling rapidly from her anger. She clenched the report tightly in her hands until her knuckles turned white.
However, she was also angry at her stupidity. Ronald had been in Grudin North for such a long time. The number of times he returned to Santabaca could even be counted with her fingers. His reasons always revolved around his busy and tight schedule. But even if it was true, who could be as busy as him?!
He must have taken his time off work to be with that nasty woman, Samantha! Whenever Yvette wanted to visit him in Grudin North, he would always come up with a million reasons to reject her. The reasons that were out of love and care suddenly sounded disgusting and shameless!
She would not be Yvette if she just let things slide!
The morning after...
The summer season was transitioning to fall, so there was a huge difference in the weather. The fall wind was piercing, and the rain would always be heavy and long.
It was the perfect weather to curl up in bed and be unproductive.
The three people in the apartment were still in dreamland. Mark was sleeping on the left side, and Summer was sleeping on the right with Charlotte snuggled between them. It was already half-past eight.
Charlotte was a mess in bed as she always squirmed around. She had her feet on Mark's face, and her head was on Summer's belly.
The pressure on Summer's stomach was uncomfortable, and it caused her to frown. Slowly, she peeled her eyes open and grabbed the phone on her pillow. As soon as she saw the time, she immediately jumped out of bed. Without any of them realizing it, it was already 9.00 am!
She quickly put on a coat and gently patted Mark on the arm as she said, "Wake up, it’s almost 9 now! I'll go and make breakfast, so you better wake up and get Charlotte dressed in her school uniform, okay?"
