Chapter 468


    The intensity of Mark’s gaze dug deep into her. It stared through her soul, consuming her whole. His


    tone of voice was low, but humble and pleading.


    He was wearing a dark-colored suit over a white shirt and a silver-gray tie at the neckline. The


    extravagance that radiated from him was extremely elegant, and it was in stark contrast to his imploring


    words. He was not the kind of person who''d lower his voice.


    But when it came to love, who would not be humble?


    Her heart was trembling and beating fast, but the words that came out were still the same. "Mark, you


    cannot act this way anymore. We can''t do this anymore."


    "No matter what, as long as you say it, I will make it happen. Summer, I''m not kidding..."


    Mark''s words could not have been more serious; even his sunken eyes became deeper. His


    seriousness made people feel a little flustered.


    Summer''s heart was messed up, panicked, moved, and even, just a little bit, she might impulsively say


    yes to him. She was terribly frightened of him being so focused and serious.


    She just forced herself to shake her head in silence.


    "Just onest time, is it really impossible between us? " He gazed into her eyes a little deeper, and his


    voice became hoarse.


    Summer nodded her head as she sounded in a low and dull voice.


    His arms around her tightened further as he was struck by her words, they were like sharp, thin silver


    needles, piercing the tender flesh of his heart; It felt hurt as the pain spread out.


    His embrace was so strong that Summer felt as if he were trying to embed her in his own body. After a


    long, silent wait, she heard him respond. "Okay..."


    A word that was ordinary yet significant. It signified the end of their rtionship.


    Afterward, he got up and tidied up his suit. His Adam''s apple bobbed as he said, "Since this is what you


    truly desire, I will grant your wish. From now on, I will no longer pester you, nor will I see you again.


    Even if we meet, we will be strangers..." His tone was polite yet cold and distant.


    At that moment, what Summer felt in her heart was not a sense of relief but a weight heavy as rock


    pressing on it.


    Mark strode on his long legs to exit the room. As soon as his hand reached the doorknob, he stopped.


    A thought came to his mind so he asked, "I have onest question. Whether it was four years ago or


    four yearster, have you ever had any feelings for me?"


    She was taken aback; her heart was pulled like a string that was about to be broken. It was tight and


    painful.


    "I''m willing to give up Charlotte''s custody right for you and evenpromise to let go of you. From now


    on, I won''t disturb you anymore. I just want the true answer from the bottom of your heart. I believe my


    request is not too much..."


    This time, his voice was a bit more hoarse.


    ''Now that both of us have finally decided to stay away from each other''s life, I should not say things that


    may stir his heart.’


    Summer’s eyes were narrowed. With her hands at her sides clenching her wedding dress tightly, she

    said slowly, "Not at all."


    "Thank you..." Mark thanked her politely. After a pause, he added, "I will ask the driver to escort you


    back to the hotel."
