She coughed lightly to snap back into reality and explained, "I did not intend to sleep here; you didn’t
let go of me."
Recollecting himself and keeping his emotions from showing, his lips slightly tilted upwards and said,"
Where do you intend to sleep, if not here?"
Summer was speechless.
He continued to press on, "Shouldn't we sleep together? We are married after all."
She wetted her lips and felt nervous as she could not come up with a logical excuse. "I thought it would
probably cause inconvenience for you," she answered.
His brows raised at her answer, "Are you really worried about me? Or is it you who would feel uneasy?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
'Always so straightforward and direct, this man,' she thought to herself. "I tend to toss and turn when I
sleep and I'm not used to having someone sleeping next to me," she said, feeling defeated.
Acting like the bigger-person, he replied, "I don't mind if you turn and land on me. Plus, you'll be used
to it soon when we sleep together more."
Hearing so, she grumbled under her breath, "Such a
waste it is for him to have such a talent, He should be a lawyer."
He sat up with a push from his arms and his toned chest peeped out from his dress shirt, "Thanks for
the compliment."
Cheeks reddened, she shifted her gaze away, and right on cue, her phone rang. It was Daisy Scott.
"Hey, mom," she answered the call and stood by the window.
She ended the call and found Mark watching her intently. "Are mom and dad back?" he asked.
'Mom and dad?'
Startled, she was wondering who he was referring to.' Oh, my mom and dad. It feels weird having him
to say that,’ she thought but she nodded as if to answer him.
"Since they're back, let's visit them now.”
Summer was surprised to hear, "So soon?"
"You still want to hide it from them?" His toned muscles and lines came into view when he got down
from bed and swiftly took off his dress shirt and suit pants.
"It’s not that, I just don't know how to tell them yet," she said as she shifted her eyes away. She knows
that the truth can’t be concealed for too long, but she's just worried that they'll be too overwhelmed with
shock and worry.
"It doesn't matter how you tell them. What's most important is to let them know as soon as we can. Go
get ready, we'll leave right after."
Mark went to the washroom right after.
'Of course I know that it's better to tell them before they find out themselves. I understand that it's the
right thing to do, but the circumstances now are different! There are so many factors to consider.’ Her
mind was flooded with thoughts and reasons.
'The last time they heard from me, I wasn’t even dating anyone, and suddenly I’m married and with
child!'
Summer was really worried about how her parents would take the news. The closer they were to her
parents' house, her head started to ache thinking about how she would go through this nightmare.
When the car stopped in front of the apartment, she knew this was it. She could not run away anymore.
Taking deep breaths, she tried to calm herself down and prepare herself mentally as she got down the
car.
She looked at him questioningly when she noticed that he did not make any motion of getting down the
car with her. He was staring straight ahead at something in the driver's seat while lightly knocking the
steering wheel with his knuckles.
"Aren't you coming?” She asked while thinking, 'He insisted on coming here but now he isn’t coming
along?’
"Just a moment more,” he answered.
She did not understand why or what they had to wait for.
Approximately after 20 minutes, Billy from the night before got down from a black car, and it seemed
like h e was carrying two huge gift boxes towards them.
Before Mark and Summer went in the elevator, Billy passed the gift boxes over to them, "Mr. Valentine,
here are the gifts you requested before.”
