A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 60

In the room.

As she sat and rested on her bed, her mind was racing with thoughts of the news reported. When she caught a glimpse of the man on the sofa, her gaze and attention lingered on him.

As he was looking through some work documents, the sleeves of his sweater were folded up, showing his toned and muscular arms. His eyes were squinting slightly as he read; he wrote meticulously with a pen i n his left hand.

'We've been together for quite some time, but I've only noticed that he's a leftie,' she thought while admiring him unconsciously.

"How long are you going to stare, Mrs. Valentine?” He asked as he kept his head down, only lifting his brows.

Embarrassed that she was caught red-handed, she gave a slight cough as she changed the topic, "I think there's something strange regarding what happened today—the news about me, I mean."

She believed that a stranger would not harm her out of the blue.

So, she probably hired someone to follow me and took those pictures and videos sent to the publishers. After reasoning from everything that has happened before, I think this is the best possible motive of all."

With lips curled into a faint smile and as if speaking from experience, Mark replied knowingly," Sometimes, what you think is the most reasonable may not even be any close to the truth."

Although he was somewhat indirect, she knew that they were not on the same page. So, she asked, "Then, who do you think could be the culprit?'

"The results from the investigations will be out tomorrow," he simply stated before picking up the pen
