Chapter 490


    Silence returned in the kitchen. The only thing that was audible was the intecing breathing sounds of


    the two.


    Mark''s eyes locked unto the woman in his arms. They were filled with concern, as he was afraid that


    those nasty words would hurt her. "Are you okay?"


    "About what?" Summer looked at him.


    "Don''t listen to what they say and don''t take what they have said to heart. Do you understand?”


    "Sure." The corner of her mouth curled up, and she shook her head. "I didn’t take it to heart."


    Those in the Valentine family, except Jazz and Ms. Moore, hated her. She had realized this four years


    ago.


    When she agreed to be with him again, she was mentally prepared for this situation. After all, Yvette


    hated her too much.


    He tightened his grip on her, and she fell against his broad, warm chest, letting her lean against him as


    he looked at her affectionately. "Leave everything to me. I will handle it. Don''t think too much and don''t


    be bothered by it, lest you will get more crow''s feet."


    Sheughed. Just when she was about to speak, he suddenly leaned over and gave her fervent kisses


    on


    the lips.


    The sound of the ttering of slippers came just at this moment, as Charlotte stood at the doorway and


    rubbed her eyes. "Mommy, I have been sleeping for a long time, and I am hungry. Is the food ready


    yet?" She walked in as she spoke. "What are you doing with Daddy?"


    "Charlotte!" Summer called out to her immediately. "I sprained my ankle, and Daddy is taking a look at


    it. Could you please help Mommy get a bottle of water from the refrigerator?"

    Charlotte nodded and shuffled out of the kitchen.


    Summer gave Mark a push. "Hurry up!"


    The two of them hurriedly brushed down their clothes. It was another embarrassing moment.


    "This is the second time around." Mark sounded listless, his maic voice hoarse. "We will be caught


    with our pants down literally if she suddenlyes again.”


    Summer''s face was still red. She pinched the soft flesh on his waist. "It was all your fault. You have got


    t o be mindful of the venue and time."


    He hugged her again. “She probably timed it just right. She didn''t make a sound when my parents


    came in, yet she appeared right at the moment we were about t o make out. She must be my little


    nemesis."


    "Don''t be so mean. Clean the things up. Little Nemesis i s hungry." She pushed him out of the kitchen


    with a


    smile.


    Mark was not satisfied. He leaned over and pecked and kissed her on the lips for a while before he left


    the kitchen.


    When she brought the dishes out of the kitchen, she heard Charlotte screaming in the bathroom. Mark


    must be fixing her.


    Summer poked her head in and saw Mark tossing Charlotte in the air, again and again.


    Yvette''s and Ronald''s remarks had not affected her today.


    Before this, she had no ns to be with him again, so she did not mince her words when talking with


    Yvette. There was no need to put up with Yvette''s constant usations.


    Now, since she was thinking of being with Mark again, and Yvette was Mark''s mom, she would tolerate


    Yvette to some extent. She did not want Mark to get caught up in the crossfire.


    But she could only tolerate Yvette so much. Not wanting Mark to be caught in the middle did not mean


    that she would keep putting up with Yvette’s insults.
