Chapter 277
Raine waited for him to leave before letting out a soft sigh. As she stood there, she felt that the soft rain
had made everything seem brighter. She started to sway her body in the spot and danced in the rain.
Walking around the forest, Summer caught her dancing by accident. The edges of her lips lifted with
bitterness and mockery, to a degree that was ironic, and bitter.
Their lives were as different as chalk and cheese, one was in bliss while the other in misery. This
saying perfectly encapsulated the situation they were in.
Summer’s gaze did not rest on Raine for a long time. She continued her way up the hill after shooting
her a few cold glares.
Although it was called a hill, the paths were not rugged. It was built flat, making it easy for people to
hike. The view from above was indeed pleasurable through the soft rain. At least, it was able to ease
her mind and wash away her weariness...
Of course, Raine too saw Summer. She thought what she did was embarrassing and awkward. She
followed Summer from behind, walking towards the top.
But neither of them noticed the two suspicious men
sneaking behind them, who whispered to each other from time to time. There were menace and danger
lingering behind their eyes!
One behind the other, Summer heard the footsteps behind her, but she did not look back. Towards
Raine, she had always felt disgusted by her presence anyway.
She liked following people, and that was her own business. It had nothing to do with Summer.
Although the hill was not high, it wasn't considered a low one either. Fortunately, the view along the
way was pleasant, clearing her troubled heart as she hiked.
After forty-five minutes or so, Summer reached the peak of the hill. Due to the rain, the air was extra
refreshing. There were also clouds of mists wrapping around the hill.
It was spring rain, which explained why it felt soft on the skin. It doesn't irritate people at all, conversely,
it was actually pleasurable.
The drizzling rain was as soft as smoke, the soft wind was blowing against their face gently. Standing
on top of the hill was definitely an enjoyable experience.
Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Raine clearly, who stood next to her. At some point, she
had also made her way to the top.
However, they were like oil and water, as nothing seemed to be able to bring them together. Even when
they were standing in such close proximity, Summer had no intention to talk with her.
Besides, their relationship only consisted of hatred at that time. There was really no reason for them to
speak with each other.
However, the rain grew heavier over time. It was hard for them to keep their balance. Fortunately, there
was a wooden patio nearby for her to take shelter.
Summer raised her leg and started walking towards the patio. She could hear Baine talking on the
phone, her voice as soft as the wind, "Mark, I'm at the peak now. Yes, I have my umbrella with me...."
Each word that came out of her mouth were like needles piercing through her heart. The stings were
heavy and numbing, yet so sharp.
Baine was sitting opposite her in the patio. Summer treated her like air, ignoring her presence as she
took i n the hazy view of a nearby hilltop.
That was then she heard a string of footsteps. Without looking back, Summer stood up and frowned,
ready to leave immediately.
The villa and the hill were both gated private properties. Other than the maintenance staff and him, no
one else had access to this place.
It was raining like cats and dogs, there was no possibility for the staff to get there. Besides, he just got
off the phone with Baine. If the footsteps didn't belong to him, who else could it be?
But right after she took her first step, she heard Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Raine’s sharp cry echoing the patio. "What are you guys doing?"
She halted and turned around instinctively. In front of her were two staff in their uniform, walking
towards them. They had a knife in their hands, which was unusually keen.
