Chapter 188
She would rather live elsewhere than stay in Valentine Mansion, where she was not weed. Living
outside was more carefree as well.
As luck would have it, Summer came across a rental a d while she was walking. The house was perfect
for her as well.
She went to the address on the ad and met thendlord, whoter showed her to her room.
The room was very small. Both the living room and the bedroom were all small in size. But it was more
than enough for one tenant alone.
The ce was clean and tidy. It was also close to the school. It only took ten something minutes to get
there on foot, so it was really convenient for Summer.
The only downside was the location of the apartment. I t was in a dark alley with no streetlights
whatsoever. The road leading to the apartment was quite long as well.
She was a little worried about her safety, especially when she worked overtime and went homete at
night. The dark alley seemed dangerous, so she was contemting whether she should stay at such a
ce.
Thendlord noticed her hesitation and smiled cheekily, "The streetlights down the alley had some
issues recently, so I went to call maintenance. They should be fixing it in no time. Additionally, I''ll throw i
n a surprise $500 discount for your monthly rent.
What do you say?”
"When would the streetlights be fixed?" asked Summer, as this was her only concern.
"I''ve already called this afternoon, so they’ll probably b e here tomorrow afternoon," thendlord''s eyes
twinkled.
Summer nodded as she paid the rental along with a few months'' worths of deposit. The room was hers
now. There was a supermarket near her new apartment as well. She headed there to get some sofa
covers, table cloth, air freshener, and bedsheets. She started cleaning her room as soon as she got
back.
Once she was done with everything, she made herself some pumpkin soup and two simple vegetable
side dishes.
But just when she was about to sit down at her table, someone was knocking on her door.
"Coming!"
Summer responded and walked over to the entrance, thinking that thendlord left something behind.
She opened the door and froze. Her eyes widened in surprise.
The lights in the hallway lit up the man’s charming face, one half dark and the other bright. But none of
this affected his handsome features. He had a sharp nose with a set of bright eyes, but they were filled

with anger.
Summer recollected herself and put on a nk face. She stretched out her arm, nning to close the
door i n his face.
His reaction was quick enough to stick his arm out to stop the door. He moved towards the door swiftly
and managed to stop Summer.
Summer furrowed her brows and attempted to push the door once more but to no avail. She gave up
after a short while and asked tly, "What are you trying to d o?"
Mark squinted his eyes and stared at her furiously, " Did you hear me this morning, hmm?"
When Mark noticed that it was near the time Summer got off work, he fled from work and drove to her
school. He waited for half an hour, but he still had no signs of Summer. He eventually asked her
colleagues, who told him that she had already left and was also looking for a ce to stay.
She was emotionless and her tone t as usual when she answered nonchntly, "Oh, I forgot.”
She sounded like she was answering just for the sake of it. However, her half-hearted response still
made sense. This angered Mark greatly, his chest rising and falling as anger gathered up in his chest.
Summer saw that he had no intentions to leave, so she decided not to waste her time any longer. She
turned around and walked into her room.
Mark saw her leaving and instantly followed her into her room.
Summer didn''t care; she just treated him as air, ignoring his presence. She sat herself down at the
table and drank her soup.
