Chapter 394


    Summer ignored him and wanted to leave, but Mark''s sturdy body forced her to back up against the


    door.


    He stared her in the eyes, his fiery breath spraying on her face as he clutched her jaw with his shapely


    hand. "No, we have to talk now. Or else, I am afraid I will regret itter." He spelled out his words in a


    deep voice.


    "Mark, I have promised to talk, but you can''t go overboard." She tried to smack away his hand that was


    clutching her jaw. She was finally angered.


    "Now keep quiet and listen to me." His hands now moved to hold her shoulders with just the right

    amount of force. "Perhaps, what I am going to say will be what you have always wanted."


    He knew what she wanted? But he would not say this for no reason, would he? She suppressed her


    anger, took a deep breath, and looked at him. "All right. I am all ears."


    Mark looked at her, his gaze sinking into her eyes when he spoke in a deep and maic voice,


    knocking every word into her heart. "I will not fight for Charlotte''s custody. She will always be yours."


    His words startled her, and she froze in ce like a


    boulder.


    She seemed to have heard a loud bang in her head, and then her mind went nk as his words came


    as a bolt from the blue.


    She was in a daze, remaining in her posture for a long time.


    He had seen her calm and cold face, and her angry, furry lion look. But he had never seen this


    expression of hers.


    Using his warm fingertips, he drew her hair to the back of her ear. His brows were raised and his lips


    twitched. "Are you still here?”


    He ran his fingers over her cheek. The warmth of his skin finally brought Summer out of her daze.


    She backed away a bit to keep a distance, looking at him with suspicion. "What are you trying to pull


    here again?"


    "Are my words not believable to you?" He narrowed his eyes.


    "You are a scheming businessman, and I have been fooled once," she said. "Besides, I can’t think of


    the reason you do this." The reason for doing this; the reason for giving up Charlotte''s custody.


    His sexy Adam''s apple rolled up and down his throat, his gaze deep and prating, like a deep ocean


    and a whirlpool that could see through her.


    Even he was not sure when the idea of giving up


    Charlotte''s custody came about.


    Perhaps it came when he arrived outside the emergency room and saw her fragile body sitting alone


    on the bench, trembling like fallen leaves in the fall, so scared and helpless, yet she still gritted her


    teeth.


    Perhaps it came when Charlotte regained her consciousness and tears that rolled down her cheeks


    had pained him dearly.


    And more likely it came when he saw Summer smack Charlotte in her palm with both their palms


    reddening and hurt, andter, Summer so gently wiped the tears from Charlotte''s face.


    "You don''t have to suspect my decision. Or are you going to tell me you will not ept this proposal?"


    he said in a deep, hoarse, maic voice to remind her. "I f you continue to suspect me, I might regret


    it in the next second."


    Before Summer could say anything, his shapely hand had taken her cell phone from her and turned on


    the recorder.
