A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 70

Mark eyed her swiftly and said, "You don't feel safe." "You’re saying as if I'm a man. Well, I'm not, and it's not like I would do anything inappropriate to her," she replied as she wondered if she had given off an untrustworthy impression.

Snatching the opportunity to butt in, Billy said, "Hey, you guys can brush off the wedding party and return gifts for guests but let me remind y’all that we're definitely playing that game tonight!”

Charlie agreed as well, he said, directing to Mark," Yeah, bro. You better prepare yourself. You can't run away this time."

Mark furrowed his brows after taking a short glance a t their excited faces. Without giving them a reply, he turned and left.

"We can take his silence as his consent, right?" Billy said, bumping his shoulder into Charlie's.

"I think so."

"Let's plan something extra exciting. Shoot me with the most wicked ideas you have!”

As much as Yvette did not want to show up to the banquet, she knew she was obliged to.

'Since Ronald, that father of his, couldn’t show up, I have to. I'm the only parent present, after all. Plus, if I don't, the reporters would surely make a fuss out of it,' she grumbled to herself.

Hence, that was the sole reason why Yvette had attended, and she left right after greeting most of the guests.

Meanwhile, Jazz had easily spotted Summer in the crowd. He, too, had not expected Summer to look so breath-taking in her red dress. He felt intoxicated by her beauty.

He thought as he admired her, 'Even if she’s not wearing that dress, she'll look lovely in anything-she i s gorgeous after all."

But as he caught sight of her circling her hands around his brother, his smile turned bitter. He drowned his sorrows with glass after glass of alcohol.

In a far corner of the hall sat a woman. A vase full of greenery was placed as a decoration on the table near that corner. So, if one did not pay enough attention, they would barely notice someone sitting there.
