She was fascinated by his gentle laughter and his relaxed eyebrows. He was elegant and handsome.
Summer was speechless. ‘Alluring? Did he think he was the woman of the century? What a bold
statement! I
"Didn't you know that only women were described as alluring?"
"Nope, it doesn't sound bad at all for a man. How about we say that you were charmed by my allure,
and stuck with me forever?"
'how can he be so arrogant?'
They knocked at the door and were greeted by Amara. She called out to the living room when she saw
Mark," Mom, dad, it’s Mark."
Summer frowned at Amara's words and her behavior. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
But Amara wouldn't be bothered and took over the gifts from Mark as she smiled, calling out his name
affectionally along the way.
Solomon and Daisy were preparing the room. When they saw them, they immediately stopped what
they were doing.
"Coming..."
Solomon first looked at Summer, then Mark, and greeted them with a smile, but awkwardly.
On the other hand, Mark acted casually and naturally, and politely he greeted, "Dad, mom."
Everyone was nervous as they never had a TV celebrity as their guest.
Daisy acknowledged them and signaled them to take a seat.
Although he was her son-in-law, it was only their second meeting; thus, it was naturally impossible to
have a normal conversation.
A few of them sat on the sofa; besides faking a smile, n o one had any idea how to start a
conversation.
Mark scanned through the living room and noticed the souvenirs-Summer's parents bought from
different places-placed around and smiled. "Mom and dad must like traveling a lot."
Those words touched Solomon's heart. He nodded and responded enthusiastically, "We love traveling
the best; especially a free and easy tour where we get to visit every place..."
The ice was broken, and the conversation was neverending. Solomon began recalling the exciting
stories from all their travels which he and Daisy were passionate about.
As they aged, they loved to travel to places, but no one was at home to listen to their stories. Everyone
was busy at work. Having someone to listen was a rare opportunity, thus the spark of enthusiasm.
The unfamiliar, awkward, and unnatural feelings were already nowhere to be found.
As for the purportedly exciting stories, Summer had already heard them three times and was naturally
not interested in the conversation.
Amara reacted similarly. She was bored. From time to time, she glanced at Mark and felt enthralled.
Solomon and Daisy exchanged turns to share their experiences, forgetting about when to stop.
Yet Mark remained seated uprightly; he listened attentively and occasionally smiled and sipped away a
t the cup of tea that he held in his hands.
Summer frowned as she watched them and pursed her lips. 'He’s a good listener...’
Meanwhile, the ice had completely been broken down. Gentle laughter could be heard.
Looking at the time, Daisy got up. She was brimming. " I'll get lunch ready.”
In such a short time, her impression of Mark had changed drastically; her eyes were full of joy.
Upon hearing, Summer got up too. "I’ll help too."
’’There's no need, you stay with them, I’m fine doing it alone." Daisy gestured with a hand, afraid that
the momentum would be lost if she left the scene.
Mark turned and looked toward Daisy. He uttered in his deep voice, "We're doing great here, why not
let Summer help out..."
Smiling, Daisy replied, "Okay."
