Chapter 614


    "I want to be by your side at this moment as I don''t want you to face it and bear it alone, do you


    understand?"


    Summer nodded. "But she will get emotional whenever she sees you. You must not appear in front o f


    her."


    "Yes, I can''t appear in front of her, but I can in front of you. Open the window if you want to see me."


    Her brows were knitted together tightly as she walked over, opened the window, and poked her head


    out. There she saw the silhouette of a tall guy.


    He was wearing the windbreaker he just bought earlier today, leaning against the car, holding a mobile


    phone with his left hand to his ear and an umbre in his right. The raindrops falling from the night sky


    made a constant pitter patter on his umbre. He was looking up at her, squinting his eyes, as if he was


    gazing into her soul.


    "Are you seeing me?"


    "Mm." She could hear the thumping of her heart.


    "Can you bear with her?" he asked, his long fingers clenching the phone harder without him


    consciously knowing.


    She used her fingertip to trace his outline. It hurt her." Yes,” she replied.


    "Even if you can''t, you will persevere for me. You miss me, and you won''t give up on me, will you?"


    His voice was mixed with the pitter patter of the rain, carrying a hint of dreaminess and confusion, just


    like how he felt right now. He was afraid that she would buckle under the pressure from her mom and


    choose t o let go. He was panicking even at this moment.


    She heard and understood the pitter patter of the rain and the rising pitch of his slightly trembling voice


    toward the end of the sentence. Was he scared? He was a graceful yet arrogant man with an inborn


    sense of dignity in him. Everyone in Santabaca was fearful upon seeing him. But his tone of voice told

    her that his heart was heavy and humble. Even the surrounding atmosphere became tense and


    suppressed.


    She did not like him this way, nor did she like the suffocating air at this moment. She put up a smile and


    teased him to ease the tension. "Are you begging me, M r. Valentine?”


    "I am begging you." He said word by word, his voice deep but gentle, open but not embarrassed.


    His serious tone of voice transfixed her. Her eyes welled up and her nose became runny. She choked


    back her emotion, fearing that he would discover it.


    Mark spoke again, but his voice became softer. "So,


    you won''t let me down, will you?"


    She nodded instinctively before realizing that they were on the phone. She quickly responded with a "M


    m."


    "You won''t abandon me, will you?"


    "Mm, you are not a three-year old. How do I abandon you?"


    "What about Charlotte?"


    "She is sleeping in the car."
