Chapter 191


    Summer nced at him and frowned after checking the time.


    She needed to go to work, but she could not lock the door unless he left. That meant she had to wait


    for him.


    Mark could see her in his peripheral vision. His brows turned up along with his lips as he ate at a slow


    pace.


    He pecked at the food, a little at a time, as if he was enjoying it. He knew her weaknesses.


    When Summer’s expression started to change, he started to feel less upset.


    He could bear with her anger, but he did not like that distant look on her face.


    Summer checked the time again. It was 7:00 am, and she needed to be in school at 7:20 am. So she


    had only 20 minutes left.


    It usually took about eighteen minutes to walk from where she lived to the school, and she had to sign


    in a t the school every time. She knew she would bete if she did not head out now.


    But Mark did not seem like he was going to leave. He was still enjoying his breakfast at a slow pace.


    Summer furrowed her brows again. She remained silent but nced at him a few times from behind


    and then headed out.


    Thendy was drying clothes outside when Summer came up to her. "Good morning, ma''am,”


    Summer greeted.


    "Good morning, Miss Hart. Can I help you?"


    "Yeah, can you do me a favor?"


    "Sure."


    "I have to rush out to work, but someone is still in the house. Could you please lock the door for me


    after he left?"


    "No problem." Thendy readily obliged.


    "One more thing. Is there something wrong with the heater in the house? It doesn''t look like it works


    properly."


    Thendy put up her hand and dismissed it. "How could it be possible? Try again tonight. Maybe it


    will b e fine by then."


    Summer was almostte for work and had time to harp on the issue with thendy. She again


    reminded thendy one more time and then flew out of the apartment like a bat out of hell.


    Thendy snorted behind her back. ''Pay higher rent if you want to use that heater!''


    Summer came out of a stretch of long alley when a ck Land Rover stopped beside her.


    Mark''s darkening handsome face popped out of the window. "Get in the car."


    She ignored him, hurried past the car, and continued t o walk forward.


    Mark frowned. He would strangle her now if he could, he thought to himself. He opened the door and


    got out of the car, then grabbed her by the wrist and shoved her into the passenger seat before


    mming the door shut.


    When she thought of resisting him again, she heard a n inner voice. ''Don''t be so hard on yourself,


    Summer.''


    She was runningte. Now that someone was willing t o give her a ride, why still pretended, and made


    her life harder? It was him, not the car, who was at fault.


    Summer looked out of the window and said not a word.


    As the car drove along a smooth road, Mark pressed his lips into a straight line with a grim look on his

    face.


    He had spent thirteen hours with her sincest night. But she had never spared a look for him, let alone


    speak with him.


    Knowing that she was runningte this morning, he deliberately dragged his down.


    He thought she would get angry, but she did not. Instead, she passed the key to thendy.
