Chapter 232
Summer would not have believed it if he were to say it was just a coincidence.
She thought, 'There are so many number sequences he could’ve used, but yet he chose '1225'. Isn't
that just too suspicious?'
As she thought so, she was certain that the passcode h e had set was definitely the digits of Raine's
birthday.
She lost the appetite to eat as she looked at the perfect scrambled egg paired with pearl white grains of
rice o n her plate. She responded softly as she dropped her head, covering the expressions in her
eyes.
But as she thought of how furious he had been when she wanted to loan money from him, her heart
wavered and softened.
She had believed that a man must have some feelings for a woman if he got angry at her for not
wanting to use his money.
But now, a part of her deeply felt that such a thought she had was ridiculous.
'Back then, if there was a reason why I didn’t want to use his card, it would be because of what he had
said,' she thought.
'But now, it would be because of Raine that I would not even think of using that card. Ever.'
With her head hung low, the expressions shown on her face could not be seen. The only part of her
that was visible was her pale and slender neck.
Possibly due to her pregnancy and the 'pregnancy glow', her already fair skin seemed to glow even
brighter, and it looked soft and smooth like a freshly peeled egg.
Mark's Adam's apple was slightly bobbing. His eyes were profound as he recalled her tenderness and
warmth.
Summer had felt his intense gaze on her, but she refused to look up and face him. Instead, she
continued to keep her head low as she finished up her meal slowly.
"Do you have any plans this afternoon?” he asked in a gentle voice. Leaning close, his defined hands
brushed her hair that was tucked in her collar away.
"I'm heading home for a bit." His hand was filled with warmth when he accidentally brushed against her
neck. She shivered as though she felt an electric shock passed through her body.
Instantly, his eyes darkened. His body tensed up with his voice as he said, sounding hoarse, "Don’t
seduce m e now, dear wife. Or else."
Shifting her body to the right, she evaded from brushing his hand, and she defended, "I'm not trying t o
seduce you. Don't you need to head to the office in the afternoon?"
"Are you chasing me away right now, my dear wife?" h e asked as he raised his perfectly shaped
eyebrows. A faint look of displeasure and resentment appeared.
"No, I'm not chasing you away. It’s just, I have to go now. It's already 3 pm," she replied as she pushed
and got up from her seat and moved to pack before she left.
With her petite frame turned against him, he stared as he said, "I'll send you there.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
"No, it's okay. I’ll just take a taxi there. Since you have the time, you can go and wash the dishes. I
don't feel like washing them later when I’m home," her voice rang from the room.
Upon hearing so, his defined brows twitched and slightly furrowed as he stared at the dishes in front of
him.
'There isn't much to bring anyway,' she thought. When she walked out of her room, there was no sign
of him i n the living room, but sounds of water splashing resonated from the kitchen.
She leaned slightly to the side, and her eyes easily fell upon his tall figure. He was wearing a pair of
rubber gloves, and foams of bubbles covered them as he washed the dishes. His movements looked
awkward and out of place, which made it obvious that he had never done something like that before.
After taking a few glances, she retracted her gaze, then picked up her bag and left.
