However, Mark showed no signs of shock towards her arrival. His brows tightened as his gaze turned
deep." Why are you here?"
Smiling, Raine answered, "Grandma told me that the both of you were here, that’s why I came along as
well. Besides, I heard good things about the scenery here. The view is gorgeous throughout the whole
year."
The corner of Summer's lips curled upwards as she listened to what Raine had to say. Behind her smile
was nothing but scorn and coldness.
'It could all be a lie; she could have other motives...'
"What about your recovery?" His brows remained knitted with complexity. His expression was
unreadable.
"I'm feeling much better now. The doctor said that I'm okay now. I could even run." His concern had
Raine feeling like she was on cloud nine.
Summer clenched her fist as she Listened to them talk like they were the only two people in the room.
Her fingers were digging into the palm of her hand, but the pain was the reason that she could have a
sense of clarity.
There was no need for her to stay at such a place. She put on a coat over her sleepwear; ignoring
them as she walked past them and left the house.
The villa was a detached house surrounded by nature. Though the night sky was dark, the streetlights
alone were enough to show the beauty of the night view.
The air was refreshing and cold, and a whiff of it was enough to wake one up. Summer's heavy heart
was cleared as she took in the fresh air.
She followed the stone path and walked until she reached the end before turning around and walking
back; still following the stone path.
It was 8 PM when she left the house. But when she got back, it was already 10 PM.
The two hours she spent outside was neither too long nor short, but it was probably enough for Mark
and Baine to finish their conversation. She planned to turn a blind eye and go back to her room to get
some rest.
Surprisingly, as she stepped into the villa, she noticed that neither of them left, nor did they go upstairs.
They were just sitting on the couch in the living room.
Hearing her footsteps, Mark shifted his gaze towards her and he said in a deep voice, "Why did you
come back so late?”
Summer snickered sarcastically when she heard his question. 'Doesn't he think that the question was
inappropriate, especially in front of Baine?'
Baine was also looking at Summer. Her eyes were gentle and warm as she said elegantly, "Yeah,
you're still pregnant, Summer. It’s cold at night so it’s really easy for you to catch a cold. You should
really take care of yourself."
Raine was a smart and slick woman. She knew when t o speak and when to hold her tongue; when to
make a move and when to back down.
Unfortunately, Summer loathed such women. She had always found them overly pretentious.
"Were you always this kind?" Summer asked coldly as she stared directly into Raine's eyes.
"Summer, I don't know what you're trying to say. I really don't understand you." Raine's face remained
gentle, and not showing any other emotions.
"Do you really not understand, or do you not want to understand?" Summer asked directly, not
bothering to give her any face. "Don’t you still love him? The reason you're here now is definitely not
because of the scenery, yes?"
Raine remained silent as she sat on the couch with her head held low. At that moment, Summer was
the one who was being aggressive and hostile, in contrast to Raine.
"Since you love him so much, don’t you feel disgusted at being so terribly nice and caring towards me?
I, for one, am very uncomfortable and disgusted."
Raine clenched the corner of her shirt with her fist as she lifted her head. She looked at Summer every
so gently, "Summer, I really meant what I said. They were all from the bottom of my heart. None of it Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
was fake." "It's really not my business whether it's fake or not. I d o not mind, nor do I care. But I am
certain that I do not want to hear any of it. Not even a single word. Do you understand?”
