Mark did not respond. He just stared deadly at Summer as if he wanted to pierce her with his gaze.
Summer did not back down and stared back at him." The marriage started as a deal. Ending it would
not be difficult. If Mr. Valentine thinks a divorce would tarnish your reputation, we can divorce a year
after the baby is born. I do not want any of your fortunes. The only thing I want is this baby. The
relationship progress between the two of you is none of my business. You can do whatever you want.”
He responded coldly through his gritted teeth as he said, "You must have taken your time to think about
this. Everything seems well thought out.”
"Of course." Summer nodded as she continued, "I can't help it. I really hate the situation I am in right
now. I also really, really hate her. You could even call it resentment. I don’t even want to see her face; I
would lose my appetite just by looking at her."
Of course, Summer was referring to Raine. But she was just exaggerating. She did not hate Raine to
such a n extent.
'Isn't Raine the one he loves? He should be infuriated b y my degradation and insults towards her. He
might even agree to divorce on impulse." "Also, I have grown to hate you after spending so
much time with you. If I could choose, I don't want to see you as well. This is because the both of you
are really that unlikeable!"
Mark laughed out of anger, his lips curled into a smile as he glared at her coldly. “Do you really hate me
that much?"
"Of course. I'm a teacher; I rarely lie," Summer responded. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
His cold smile grew wider as he clenched his jaw once again. His eyes were dark as if he wanted to
swallow her whole. "Then I don't mind being hated..."
"It doesn't matter if I hated it or not. You could put that aside. But what about her? Are you okay with
me calling her a homewrecker every chance I get?"
The atmosphere between the two was suffocating and tense. Their cold standoff was like a ticking
timebomb ready to explode.
On the other hand, Baine just stood there quietly, realizing that she will never be a part of their
conversation. In their eyes, there were only the two of them in that space. There was no space for her,
even when they were in such a tight situation.
"Summer Hart!" Mark’s eyes were burning with flames. The more he hated the topic, the happier
Summer got.
Mark rarely calls her by her full name. Whenever it happened, Summer knew that he was completely
enraged.
"Everything I said is a fact. I will only refer to her as a homewrecker, and she will forever be stuck in
such a shameful place. As for you, my hatred for you will only grow until I hate you to the bones!”
Every sentence she said contained the word 'hate'. Mark had never met a woman who could cross his
line this much. At that moment, his patience was worn out and Summer had crossed his line
completely. Every inch of his body was burning in fire and rage. Even his fingertips felt hot.
Mark was so angry that he could only laugh. But his laugh felt ominous, cold, and chilling. "Since Mrs.
Valentine wants a divorce so badly, I shall allow it..."
“Good," Summer responded as the corner of her lips lifted.
She was waiting for this moment all this while. It had been such a long day for her. All she wanted was
this ending.
However, her heart stung when she heard what she thought she wanted to hear. It felt like someone
had rubbed salt into an open wound. The pain was agonizing.
The pain that she felt could not be compared to those she experienced before. It brought pain not only
to her heart, but her whole body.
She was using all the energy she had left to keep her cool and stay in character, standing there with a
smile on her face!
Her response did not please Mark the slightest. He gritted his teeth as he glowered at Summer with
rage and cracked his knuckles.
His cold gaze was fiercely fixated on her as he grabbed her shoulders with his big hands.
