Chapter 273
Nothing was spoken between the two as the air remained still. After some time, Raine broke the silence
and said, "Do you know why I fell down the stairs the other day?"
Mark''s gaze shifted slightly. His tone was oddly cold and t. "Why?”
"Summer and Yvette got into an argument that day. I a m not going to deny that it was Yvette who
brought up the contradictory topic. But there was also no denying that Summer pushed her. I wouldn’t
have fallen otherwise," said Raine. Never in a million years would she have thought that she would
be such a despicable person.
Mark''s eyes remained deep as he responded coldly," It''s in the past. There is no point talking about it
anymore.”
His words caught Raine off guard as she was not expecting him to say something so apathetic to such
a matter.
She thought he would start questioning about the incident that day and find out the cause of the fight.
After all, it was his own biological mother whom Summer pushed down the stairs!
His actions showed that he trusted Summer fully and unconditionally. This made her even more

cautious.
"Well, it seems like Summer really hates me. But who a m I kidding? What I am doing now is
uneptable to anybody. How could I still expect her to like me?" Baine chuckled ironically, trying to
change the subject.
Mark ignored her as he pulled his toned body up from the bench and said, "The night is very cold. You
have just recovered, so you shouldn''t be here for too long. W e should head back to the vi."
They barely spent twenty minutes together and have only exchanged a few lines. Baine felt
disappointed as she said mulishly, "But I want to be here for a little longer. Can you stay with me?"
Mark took off his ck coat and draped it over her shoulders. His voice turned deep. "Don''t be
stubborn. Let''s go."
She could feel the warmth of his coat through her shirt, which melted away all her sadness. A smile
spread across her cheeks as she stood up. "Hey Mark, i t feels like we’re back to three years ago."
His lips twitched ever so slightly, but he remained silent. He just continued to wrap the coat around her
tighter.
Baine lifted the corners of her mouth and pulled herself closer to his arms. Mark shied away
instinctively, showing no emotions. His actions were s o subtle that they were unnoticeable to Baine.
By the time they got back into the mansion, Summer was no longer in the living room. She had
probably gone to rest. Though the vi was huge, it had only two rooms.
For now, Summer had one for herself, which naturally left the other room to be Raine''s.
Mark walked Raine back to her room and spoke to her a little before going to the study room.
There was no bed in that room, only a leather chair. Casually, he sat on the leather chair and leaned
his back on the chair, closing his eyes.
As Raine noticed him walking into the study room, her mood turned bright. Raine felt happy, jovial, and
relieved.
As for Summer, she was wide awake, tossing and turning on the bed for a long period of time. There
was silence in her room. The sound of her own breathing was the only thing that could be heard.
It was at that moment she knew how terrifying it was t o get used to something. She got so used to his
But, she had no choice but to bear with it...
It was five in the morning when Summer woke up. She was not sleepy throughout the whole night. It
felt like she was half-awake the whole time.
Since she couldn''t sleep, she got changed and walked out of her room. However, her body froze on the
spot a s soon as she stepped out of the door.
The door to Raine''s room was left ajar at the same time. The first person to walk out was Mark, his shirt
covered in small creases. The first few buttons under the cor were also undone, exposing his smooth
chest.
His dark ck hair was also a mess, looking sloppy. H e was taking in heavy and rapid breaths as if
they were just done with something.
