A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 64

Solomon sipped on some tea before sighing as he heard Summer's complaint and explained, "She came t o us and said she had no place to stay. Plus, she has promised never to repeat that mistake. We can't possibly chase her out; she's family after all."

"How can you believe anything she spews? Do you not recall what she had done caused us?" she felt furious talking about her as she continued, “You guys are just too soft-hearted, and she is clearly taking advantage o f that!"

"I guess the older we age, the more compassion we have for other people. You will understand when you're our age," Solomon said as he adjusted his glasses before massaging his legs.

She took a deep breath before saying, "Well, what I do understand and know now is that she’s just like an annoying piece of gum. No matter how hard we try to pluck her out of our hair, she remains tangled in it."

Summer knew that her hatred alone would not help at all. As long as her parents condoned Amara's behaviors, even if Summer were to chase her out, her parents would pick her up afterward.

She felt exhausted for having to deal with Amara's drama to no end. 'We're back to square one, again,' she

thought despairingly.

Solomon swiftly changed the topic and asked, "What's the progress of the case you’re dealing with now?"

"It's resolved," she replied simply without going into details as she did not want to talk or think about it ever again.

"That's a relief! Well then, let's watch some TV together to cheer up. There's a basketball competition going on today."

He patted her shoulder while smiling at her dotingly a s he pulled her to the living room. They sat close together on the sofa.

As soon as the TV was switched on, Mark appeared on the screen. He looked stunning, and his charm radiated as he sat on a maroon couch in the set.

He was interviewed by some reporters. Summer reached out and snatched the remote from her dad's hand. She turned up the volume.

"We're all so very curious as to when you actually got married, Mr. Valentine. And how was it that no one caught wind of the news?” the host of the show smiled as he asked.

Mark was leaning slightly into the couch as he crossed his legs gracefully. His chiseled features showed no shifts in his expression as he merely curled up his lips into a half-smile. His deep voice resonated.

"It's new to me that such interest and attention was given to my marriage. Since I've mentioned having a press conference to publicize the details, why not we make it a banquet and have it tomorrow night then? It'll be held at Paragon hotel. My wife and I will be there to attend to your questions. Hope everyone enjoys themselves tomorrow."
