Chapter 256


    In the living room, Mark stared at the room door from time to time; he couldn''t fall asleep.


    But the door never once opened and remained tightly shut.


    She was in the room while he stayed outside; they both couldn''t sleep, and the quiet atmosphere


    emitted a feeling of loneliness.


    The next morning.


    Summer had not slept the entire night and she didn''t know why; she only felt like she had just closed


    her eyes for a moment, but when she opened them, the sky was already bright.


    After she looked at the time, she went into the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, she saw him


    She nced at him quickly and said nothing; but picked up her bag and exited the room.


    She was feeling awful; besides, she wasn''t hungry, so she didn''t prepare breakfast but thought of


    buying some snacks along the way to school.


    Mark stared at her slender figure and couldn''t refrain himself from feeling more downcast.


    The moment Summer opened the main door, Raine stood in front of her. She seemed to have just


    arrived a s she was preparing to ring the doorbell with her hand.


    But as the door opened, Raine withdrew her arm.


    She wasn''t at all pleased with Raine, and this was undeniably true; thus, there was no need to be


    hospitable.


    Their eyes met; Summer stared at her indifferently but said nothing.


    Mark, who was behind her, saw her standing still at the door; he frowned and looked at her as if to

    break the awkwardness, and asked gently, "Who’s there?”


    She stepped aside without saying a word to grant him a view of the visitor; afterward, she walked off


    without turning back into the elevator, and hit the close button.


    From the gap of the elevator door, she could see the two of them standing facing each other, and Raine


    was smiling.


    She shut her eyes and dug her fingernails into her palms, causing it to hurt.


    ''What the eye doesn''t see, the heart doesn''t grieve,’ she said to herself in her heart.


    Raine''s impatience by showing up early in the morning painted such a lovely scene; however, it only


    made her upset.


    She turned slightly pale and gritted her teeth to refrain herself. Then, she pped her face gently to


    regain herposure.


    "You haven''t had breakfast, right? How about we have breakfast together before you head off to work?"


    Raine’s unadorned face carried a faint smile.


    After watching her disappear from his sight, only did Mark retract his sight, and answered, "I still have a


    few contracts to sign this morning."


    "No matter how busy you are, you shouldn’t stress your body; let’s have pumpkin soup together, it


    won''t b e long, just ten minutes, then you can be on your way t o work."


    Raine looked pleasant; she had woken up early and hurried over. "Or, would you like to have coffee


    instead?"


    His sight fell onto his watch. "I don’t have much time."


    "You should have five minutes to spare, don''t you? I hurried over this early just to have breakfast with


    you. No matter what, you would surely have five minutes, n o?"


    Mark became silent as if he acknowledged it. 1


    Raine chuckled; she tailed him and entered the elevator together.


    In the afternoon, Summer received a call from Maria; Yvette had asked her to drop by Valentine


    mansion.


    Immediately, she rejected it and gave the excuse that she was busy in the afternoon, that she had no


    time to drop by.


    Maria was caught in the fray; Yvette had instructed her repeatedly that she showed up at Valentine


    mansion. She was merely a messenger, and the situation was too tough for her to handle.
