A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 67

Since she was fully awake and had felt bored lying on the bed, she got dressed and decided to go for a walk beside the garden of the Valentine mansion.

The snow had stopped after snowing for the whole night before. The air was cold, but it felt refreshing. Taking a deep breath, she felt nice as the fresh air entered her lungs.

Feeling as if all her frustrations are floating away, she thought, 'Let all those bad memories of what happened float away and be forgotten.'

However, before she could even take a few more steps, her phone rang, and she answered, "Hello? Why are you calling so early, mom?"

Daisy sounded exhausted as she said, "Amara kept bugging me to call and remind you about the invitations to the banquet. She's worried you might forget."

"Mom, can you stop her from annoying me?" Summer replied as she took a seat on a bench. Her jolly mood was instantly ruined.

"Just get her some, and I'm sure she’ll quit bugging you. Plus, the banquet ends quite early, so she wouldn't be able to cause any troubles."

"Fine, I got it. I'll give you a call later.”

After strolling along the garden for quite some time, she glumly headed back. She noticed a familiar vehicle-a black Land Rover-starting up.

Mark watched her as she walked towards him. He passed her a down jacket as he threw it to her, "Get in.”

"Where are we going?"

"To try on some evening dresses for the banquet.”

After driving for some time, the car finally pulled over outside a boutique, and in they went.

The dresses looked extravagant. Never had she thought she would have the chance to put them on.

The store assistant gave a warm smile when she noticed Mark. Walking towards them, she asked in a friendly tone, "Hello, Mr. Valentine. Are you here for a n evening dress?"

"Mhmm,” he answered simply. His lean arms came into view as he browsed and flipped through the dresses. He then picked out a few that caught his eye.

Summer remained silent as she stood aside quietly and watched him browse through the store.
