"When you're with me, you don't have to worry. You don’t have to think too much or pick your words when you talk to me, okay? We are the closest to each other. You don't have to be rational and calm in front of me. Just like what happened earlier, you can throw a fit and make a mess out of yourself. I love every side of you, do you understand?"
She nodded in response. The fact that he knew about the truth did make her feel relieved. "But no matter what happens in the future, you can't hide anything from me anymore!"
Mark obviously did not want to give in to her. His deep eyes narrowed as he started negotiating with her. "A deal is made by mutual agreement. It can never be one-sided..."
"Okay, and I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said just now, so please don't take it seriously. I had no idea why those words just came out of my mouth like that
He did not wait for her to finish speaking as he leaned toward her and bit her rosy lips. He kissed her, swallowing her breaths and words altogether.
Charlie was right about pregnant women. Their emotions were really hard to predict at times.
By the looks of it, Mark should really get some pregnancy books to read.
Meanwhile, Ronald went back to the Valentine Mansion. Yvette was not home, so the maids were the only ones there.
He had called Maria beforehand, and he only came back after she told him that Yvette was not there. It was best for them to not meet during this time.
Besides, there was no reason for them to meet. He only came back to collect his belongings.
He immediately went to the study instead of the bedroom. The stuff he had in the study were the most precious to him.
From documents to pens, he did not leave out anything that belonged to him. He then took out a key and unlocked the lowest drawer.
He kept all his late mother’s belongings in the lowest drawer and they were all organized in that drawer. Come to think of it, the last time it was opened was more than ten years ago.
Ronald took everything out and put each and every one of them into his bag, her watch, hair tie, and bangles.
He wanted to close the drawer afterward. But for whatever reason, he couldn't do it as there was something jamming it.
