Chapter 42


    When Lily saw them hugging so intimately against each other, a look of displeasure stered on her


    face as she red at Summer.


    Stomping towards them in her three inched heels, she squeezed in between them and forced Summer


    aside.


    "Mark, I peeled and prepared these fruits for you. Auntie said you came back, so I brought this up to


    you.”


    "When did you arrive in Santabaca?"


    Mark replied after eyeing Summer inquisitively, who was beside him.


    Lily beamed at him happily as she asked him, "I just arrived today. If you have time tomorrow, could


    you bring me around Santabaca?"


    "I can''t. I''ll be busy."


    As he uttered his reply, he sat on the couch cross-legged and drank some water. Seemingly annoyed,


    faint furrows appeared in Mark''s brows.


    ''It''s like I''m not even here.''


    Summer grunted to herself as she just stood aside, leaning against the wall. ''Why am I here anyway?


    This is so annoying,'' she thought.


    "You''re such a bully! I hardly ever visit Santabaca, yet you wouldn''t even spend a few hours with me!


    I''m telling grandpa on you!”


    Looking serious with her words, Lily whined as she knew Mark would only listen to grandpa Gordon.


    The reason why Lily could be so bold and forward was that her grandpa and grandpa Gordon had


    served in the army together, and they were close friends.

    She had also heard that her grandpa had saved grandpa Gordon''s life back in the days. This was also


    why grandpa Gordon doted on Lily so much ever since she was a child.


    As if he was her Genie, he would grant all of her wishes to keep her happy, and she knew he would


    back her up for anything.


    With eyes reflecting annoyance, his gaze shifted andnded on Summer, who was listening to their


    ''drama''. Holding the ss filled water to his lips, he said," Summer can go with you then.”


    Hearing her name unexpectantly, she froze. Then, she gritted her teeth as she red at Mark.


    yfully, he raised his brows as he returned her gaze with a smug smile.


    Lily obviously did not want the woman who snatched her man to apany her. She wanted Mark! i


    "But Mark, Summer and I are not that close."


    Lips curving to a smile, he replied, "You can get to know each other through this chance then. Do you


    not want to?"


    "No, that''s not it," Lily answered defeatedly as she gripped the sides of her dress tightly. Having used


    all her cards, she had no means left to retort anymore.


    "Then, that''s settled.”


    With his brows still furrowed, he took a few sips of water.


    There was something in the room that made him feel uneasy.


    Summer snapped, "Am I transparent to both of you?"


    She was angry that he made the decision for her without her consent. She wasn''t going to let him treat


    her so rudely.


    He crossed his arms as he leaned on the couch. In a nonchnt tone, he asked, "Isn''t it the winter


    break already?"


    "Yes, but that doesn’t mean that I would be free. I could have ns, you know." She argued.


    "Oh? You have ns?" he asked while feigning curiosity.


    She nodded. She really did not want to spend any time with Lily.


    "Fine then. We''ll discuss this again once you have sorted out your ns," he swiftly answered.


    Summer was rendered speechless.
