A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 587

Charlotte wanted to watch cartoons, yet she could not find any after searching the channels using the remote control. Suddenly, her eyes brightened." Mommy, it’s daddy. Daddy is on TV!" she called out.

Summer was preparing her medicine. She was down with a mild cold due to the recently chilling weather.

"Mommy, look quickly, daddy is a hero, daddy is on T V!" She hopped around excitedly.

Summer took a glance. It was the scene outside the courthouse crowded by reporters. Mark stood in the middle, looking distinguished and full of swagger.

"Come, take your medicine. Then, off you go to bed." She sat on the sofa and looked away.

Charlotte was flapping her little hands excitedly. "I must tell all my friends at kindergarten tomorrow!"

'She's still a child. She won't understand even if I try t o explain so why bother.'

Summer had suffered insomnia since her father's death. She was afraid of falling asleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would see her father and his horrendous death, as if she was under a curse to keep on reliving the nightmare. She couldn’t forget it! Comment by Chein Ling Foo: Original

time seemed as though it was possessed, and she was afraid of falling asleep

The raw says 'It was as if Summer was possessed during these days', not the 'time was possessed'. Comment by Qin Le: got it.

He had fallen to his death, lying face down, drenched i n blood. His face was barely recognizable...

It was another sleepless night. Summer walked to the window and opened it, wanting the cold breeze to clear up her head.

Incidentally, she saw Mark’s black Bentley downstairs. In the distance, she could see him smoking. She was afraid that he might notice her, so she quickly hid behind the window.

He smoked cigarettes one after another without pause as if he could only find relief by inhaling nicotine into his lungs.
