Mark grabbed her wrist again and forced his words through his teeth in a deep voice. "Don’t you think you owe me something?"
Summer frowned and leaned over to kiss him on the lips without thinking much.
Mark's anger dissipated by more than half. He pulled away after a long while.
"Hey, go home first. I will call you when I have time." She had an I-can't-even look on her face as he behaved like a child.
"Have dinner with me."
Summer glanced at the time. "Thirty minutes, Okay?"
The two of them went to a nearby restaurant and just got a quick bite.
The unpleasant and hurt feelings he was experiencing because of what she said over the phone disappeared altogether when she kissed him. Sometimes this is just how men work; a kiss or even a sweet word could make them forget everything.
He seemed to be starving and ordered some more food. But he kept his eating manner graceful the whole time.
Summer did not have a clue why he was so hungry and felt sorry for him. "Take it slowly. I will get you some water. Otherwise, it will not be good for your stomach."
He smiled and nodded gently. But secretly, he laughed at himself for he had to resort to such a trick. He ate s o much because he wanted her to stay with him for a little longer.
Mark walked her back to the hospital. When arriving downstairs, he said to her, "Remember to call me if anything."
