A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 96

There was no hot water supply in this place.

She turned on the faucet and filled the tub, then put his coat, shirt, and pants in, sprinkle with washing powder, and rubbed them with her hands.

The water was biting cold. She could barely keep her hands from freezing. But she adapted to it after a while.

A washing machine was on the side. She could use it t o spin the clothes dry. Otherwise, the clothes would still be wet by tomorrow morning.

After cleaning things up, she could finally go to bed.

The cold was a concern because there was no heating i n the room. But her worries turned out to be unnecessary-Mark’s body heat warmed the bed like a fireplace.

After a day on the road, Summer was getting motion sickness. So she crashed out as soon as she lay on the bed.

At night, the room was so quiet that only the faint sound of their breathing was in the air.

Early the next morning, when Mark woke us, Summer

was still snuggling in his arms.

Cold made her body curling up into a ball and instinctively snuggling up against him. Her hands wrapped around him, and her cheeks red. The corner o f her mouth turned up so slightly, as if she was smiling.

Mark raised an eyebrow, with the corner of his mouth curling up. He carefully took her hands off him before he got out of bed.

He cast his eyes out on the balcony and saw his clothes fluttering in the chilly wind.

He walked out and took them in his hand. They were all dry, fresh and clean, with a faint smell of fragrance. So he took them back in.

His face broke out in a gentle smile. 1
