Chapter 511


    She never thought that Ronald and Samantha would have such a rtionship.


    On the surface, Ronald was an upright and serious man. Besides, he was the head of and had done a


    lot for Grudin North. The media referred to him as the most outstanding governor and people’s


    representative.


    But at this moment, he...


    Summer could never associate the two together.


    She snapped back and quietly picked up the fork, then sat with her back straightened and quietly


    nced at Ronald with the corner of her eye.


    He was talking to Yvette with a straight face, and then turned around and said something to Samantha


    with the same expression. But what happened under the table was really nasty.


    Summer could not believe that Ronald was such a person.


    She pulled back her eyes away from them. Mark was feeding Charlotte some juice and did not even


    look at the opposite side, so it was impossible for him, less so for Yvette, to notice the appalling thing


    going on under the table.


    Summer nced at Ronald and Samantha, who were sitting directly opposite her and lost her appetite.


    Mark had noticed her expression, his lips twitching. His deep voice, loud enough for the two of them to


    hear, flowed out of his mouth. "Can''t stand it anymore?”


    She nodded. Indeed, she could no longer stand it anymore.


    Mark excused himself and brought Summer and Charlotte to leave.


    Once out of the hotel, Summer breathed in the fresh air and felt much better, both physically and


    mentally. She was no longer tensed up like a stretched rubber band.


    "Does Charlotte start school tomorrow?” Mark asked.


    "Yeah, why?"


    His long brows were raised as he brought Summer into the massive shopping mall across the street


    and went straight up the children''s floor.


    Charlotte was overjoyed, running around in the mall like a wild horse, getting her hands on school bags


    in one minute and stationery in another.


    Summer followed her, putting back what Charlotte took down from the racks, as if the mother and


    daughter were in a tug of war.


    Mark was wearing a simple ck bomber jacket matched with a pair of casual pants, which were


    simple enough yet attracted a lot of eyes on him, as if h e was some kind of exotic animal.


    But he shrugged off those stares and leisurely followed behind the mother and daughter, watching one


    taking out things while the other scrambled to put them back on the racks.


    Summer was teed off. "Stop spoiling her, would you? She has tons of school bags and stationery at


    home, and they are all brand-new. She can’t possibly use them all!"


    The corners of Mark’s lips jerked up as he drew Summer into his arms and looked her in the eyes with


    his deep-set, gentle eyes. "It was you who bought those. Now only I am buying for her this time.”


    "What is the difference?"


    Feeling herself deeply absorbed by his gaze, Summer’s heart pounded and her breathing became

    heavy.


    He walked forward with her still in his arms." Summer, I have missed the first four years of her life. Now


    I just want to make up for it." His voice was gentle.
