The old lady muttered softly to Mark. Her judgment had never been wrong. Summer marrying into their family was an honor to Mark. He was a lucky man to have her as his wife.
However, she was still uncertain about the actual reason behind Mark marrying Summer.
She was worried that Summer would be hurt, that is, if Mark still had lingering feelings for Raine...
"What about Raine? Be honest with yourself. Have you forgotten about her completely, or do you still have a special place for her in your heart?"
Mark gulped, his face turned solemn. But his smile did not fade. He stretched lazily and answered, "Look, it's already ten o'clock. You should go to bed, Ms.
Moore."
"Are you avoiding my question on purpose, or are you genuinely worried about my health? What would you d o if Raine ever came back into your life?"
"There really is no need to answer such hypothetical questions..." He smiled mischievously and added, "She is already back."
Bewildered, the old lady frowned upon hearing what h e just said, "She's back from Athana?"
Looking directly into her eyes, Mark answered with an affirmative "Yes.”
"Where is she now?"
"Gruden North. She is currently working as my dad's assistant secretary. Can we drop this conversation here? I am feeling a little tired. Good night, Ms. Moore, sleep well..."
Ms. Moore was still processing what Mark said as she was struck by his words—Raine actually went to Gruden North to be Ronald's assistant secretary again. But when she recollected herself, Mark was already at the end of the stairs.
She let out a long sigh unconsciously, 'What is Mark even thinking?’
She was just worried, very worried..
‘But still, times have changed. It's just how the youngsters handle their relationships. Even if I had the answers to my questions, what difference could I make?
’At the end of the day, it's best just to let nature take its course.'
However, if she had to choose between Raine and Summer, she still leaned towards Summer.
