Chapter 416


    She had nned to coax Charlotte to sleep then prepare her coursework. However, while she was


    doing so, she, too, fell asleep.


    Not until her cell rang suddenly did Summer wake up from her slumber. She sat up groggily. After


    adjusting Charlotte''s nket, she walked out of the room muddleheaded and closed the door quietly


    behind her, careful not to wake Charlotte up.


    Still very sleepy, Summer answered the phone, her eyes narrowly opened, "Hi, mom."


    "My dear, how are Dean’s legs? It has been quite a while, has there been any improvement?"


    The living room was pitch ck, but she did not switch on the light because she felt it was unnecessary


    as she wanted to go into her room to sleep after the call.


    She staggered forward with her eyes closed, led by her instincts, and replied, "Not yet, he''s still


    recovering. I''m helping him with his daily leg strengthening exercise. I’ll let dad and you know if there’s


    any progress."


    "Okay. So, how are you and Dean getting along?"

    Summer steadied her hand on the phone, her eyes


    remained closed, and she answered, "I''ve discussed with Dean, we decided to get married, but we


    haven''t decided whether to have our wedding in Nokoc Bay or Santabaca. Could you help us


    choose a date? Then w e can work out the other details. It doesn''t have to be too grand, and... it would


    be great if dad can help too..."


    As she spoke, she sat down on the sofa instinctively. Nevertheless, she felt something warm and soft


    beneath her hips and suspected something was amiss.


    She had obviously forgotten about Mark, who had been sleeping on the sofa. At that moment, she was


    sitting directly on top of his chest.


    Summer opened her eyes to check her surroundings. Mark, who was on the sofa, wriggled. His dark


    pupils were like those of a beast, and they were burning with mes. Even though it was dark and the


    lights were off, his eyes were clearly visible.


    Because he suddenly wriggled, she shrieked. Daisy, who was on the other end of the call, asked


    worriedly," What happened?”


    A frightened and palpitating Summer steadied herself and patted her chest. When she was about to


    give the man below her a piece of her mind, she heard her mother''s voice through the phone. So, she


    quickly replied, "it’s nothing, mom. The lights were off, so I bumped into a chair. I''ll hang up first, we can


    talk again tomorrow. Uhm. Goodbye."


    She hung up and gripped the hand that wrapped around her waist. In a low voice, she said, "let go!"


    Both Charlotte and Dean were in the house. She could not ascertain if they had heard her. Thus, she


    could only lower her voice.


    His blood was boiling and burning and about to gush out. He growled in a deep and low voice, "You''re


    going t o marry Dean?”


    "Yes," Summer responded, her palms pressing on his chest as they wrestled and wriggled.


    They looked, however, somewhat intimate.


    Had Charlotte or Dean walked out of the room, they would surely witness the scene, and the situation


    would only be more awkward.


    "Why marry him?” he gnarled as he maintained a vice grip around her slender waist while the mes in


    his pupils were still burning.


    He was too strong that Summer could not free herself after trying her best to wriggle till her face was


    puffing red. She ended up huffing and puffing and gasping for air.


    In the end, she gave up struggling and breathed slowly.


    He raised his hand and adjusted her hair that fell beside her cheek. Although he was still in a rage, his


    actions were very gentle.


    "Why are you marrying him?” he asked again in a low and deep tone and stared at her.
