A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 597

He remained on the couch after she left. Then, he got u p and took out a bottle of brandy. He could see her leave further and further away until she disappeared into the void as he stood by the window.

'What a cruel woman,¹ he thought.

Brandy is highly concentrated, but he finished the whole bottle. He hadn't had a good night's sleep ever since she left, so he thought resorting to drowning in alcohol and numb his senses would be a great decision.

Having finished the bottle, he laid on the couch, and the doorbell rang. He missed it as he was fast asleep.

The person at the door opened the door herself after not getting any response, and she who stepped in was Baine. 1

She wore a long blue coat that reached her ankles with a belt fastened on her waist and a pair of heels o n her feet. She entered the room and found him sleeping on the couch.

The apartment smelt of alcohol, and she furrowed her brows at how pungent it was as she wondered how much he drank.

Baine headed to the kitchen and cooked some soup

for his hangover. After placing the bowl of soup on a table, she tried to wake him but to no avail. She sighed and sat him up. "Don't drink so much," said Raine.

He didn't drink the soup nor did he open his eyes; instead, he reached out and hugged her waist. His chin was on her shoulder as he said, "Stay with me, don't leave."

Her heart softened, and she replied while patting his back, "I'm not leaving."

"Okay," his body visibly relaxed when he heard her reply. He then mumbled a name, "Summer..."

Instantaneously, she felt as if she was shocked by lightning. His mumble of Summer's name was as though a sharp knife pierced and pained her heart.

She remained still as she froze. After a while, her lips curled into a bitter smile.

"I know you're hurting. I am too. We can share the pair together. That child is yours, but he was also mine. Let's do this together.."

His deep voice was heard when he mumbled again as he slept. He wasn't in a sound slumber as his brows were knitted tightly.
