Aside from what happened to Sherman, which exhausted her, this New Year wasn’t at all bad...
The next morning.
Raine woke up early and was strolling in the back garden at 6:00 am. In fact, she had a sleepless night.
Her insomnia had kept her awake even though her eyes were closed.
Lifting her head, she saw a stout figure approaching.
He had a habit of jogging around the back garden at 6:3 0 am every morning, and it had been ever
since the last ten odd years.
Mark was jogging along the winding track of the garden. He exhibited the vigor and gracefulness as Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
those of a lion.
Raine observed him secretly as he approached from afar, drawing closer to her.
Yet, he did not seem to notice her. There was not the slightest change in his expression. As he was
about to pass by her, she called out, "Mark!"
His attention shifted onto her, and he responded calmly, "Yes, Raine?”
His gaze made Raine anxious, and she was jeering at
herself.
She was at a lost for words, her arms tightened, and she felt that she had made a joke out of herself.
A while later, feeling uncanny and anxious, she spewed out some words, "Happy New Year...”
Mark stared at her without blinking as if he saw through her, yet he didn't utter a word.
With him staring at her in such proximity, Raine became unusually panicked and looked away,

Seeing her at a loss, he retracted his gaze and replied profoundly, "Happy New Year, Raine..."
Unknowingly, as he spewed out her name, his tone intensified.

became calm as she watched his figure disappear from her sight.
She sat there without moving a muscle; she was in deep thought as if it was something very

It was the second day of the New Year. After breakfast, they prepared to visit her parents.
Summer packed her luggage, and Mark changed his clothing. As they were preparing to leave, he
looked at her. "Let's go..." "Do you know where we are going?” Summer frowned.
"Do I look like an oblivious person to you, huh?" His voice pitched at the end as he wrapped his arms
around her and ushered her out.
The engine was already warmed up as they got on the car, and the gifts they had prepared were
stashed neatly in the backseat.
Summer couldn't resist looking at him, 'this man knows his stuff...'
But never did she imagine that he would accompany her home...
She turned her head slightly and searched his face carefully.
"It's been a while, what have you observed from this face of mine?" His left hand was on the wheels as
he smirked.
"Pretty good, easy on the eye." Summer felt her heart racing and flushed. She tried to hide her
embarrassment with a light cough.
"What, just that? I thought that in your eyes, I had a very alluring face..."
