Chapter 489


    This woman must have used some disingenuous means to bewitch Mark. Otherwise, Mark would not


    have behaved this way.


    It was as if ayer of ck cloth was wrapped around his eyes, blinding him. That woman had


    bewitched him.


    Yvette would not listen to his reasoning at all, as anger had consumed her. "All this notwithstanding,


    you were the reason for the scars on Raine''s face. How could you treat her like this?"


    Raine felt so hurt, as if a sharp weapon had pierced into her heart.


    Ronald stepped forward, held Raine by her shoulders, and let out a soft sigh.


    "I feel guilty for Raine. But guilt is not the same as love. I will try my best to make up for it, in some


    other way," Mark said, as he looked at Raine and then at Yvette.


    "I will never ept her, not in this life. She will never get to be part of the Valentine family, unless I am


    dead." Yvette banged her hand on the table.


    "I want her." Mark spelled out his words, and then repeated himself. "I really want her."


    His every word hurt Raine like salt being sprinkled onto her wound, which festered and was


    indescribably painful.


    "I respect you as my mom, but you can''t control me about who I should love. No one may decide that


    for m e."

    Summer raised her head and looked at Mark''s sharp-featured, sculpture-like face, her heart fluttering


    and melting.


    When Mark got serious, he meant what he said, more than anyone else.


    Raine chuckled with sarcasm, her eyes welling up. She turned around and walked out of the


    apartment.


    "Raine, Raine!" Yvette called out to her.


    Raine seemed to have not heard it. She quickened her pace and ran out staggeringly.


    "Are you happy now? Is this not what you want?" Yvette red at Summer. "I hope karma will catch up


    o n a woman like you soon."


    Summer''s eyes flickered, but she remained silent.


    Yvette then chased after Raine while Ronald remained here, looking at Mark with a stern look in his


    eyes. "You shouldn’t treat Raine like this, Mark."


    Mark looked him in the eyes. "I know what is best for her." "But your best is not what she wants.”


    "I can''t give what she wants. There are no two ways about it."


    "I would not ept her, either. Since when did you be so unfeeling?" Ronald still had that stern


    look on his face.


    Mark cocked a brow, his lips twitching before words flew out of his mouth. "I can''t give Raine what she


    wants. Does this mean I am unfeeling? If this is your interpretation of unfeelingness, then you are


    shallow.


    I know what I am doing."


    "Perhaps not so in your heart, but that is what I think. Just think about what you and Raine have gone


    through four years ago, and look at it now. What else d o you want me to say?" Ronald snorted. Before


    he left, he shot a nce of displeasure at Summer.
