Summer quickly waved her hand. "Why don't you guys just play with me."
Grace tugged at her best friend’s sleeve. "What are you afraid of? Isn’t your husband sitting behind
you? He has the money. Am I right, Mark?"
Mark put his hands on Summer’s shoulders to sit her back down. "Of course."
"Look, your husband throws his support behind you. What more are you worried about?"
Summer's face was smitten upon hearing what Grace said. She had never called Mark as her
husband.
Her heart pounded uncontrollably when she heard that intimate address, even if it was someone else
who said it.
On the contrary, Raine’s hands on her sides pinched her thighs as she reflexively looked at Mark.
There was a gentle smile on Mark's good-looking face. But he was looking at Summer and teaching
her how t o play poker. 1
Yvette was sitting on the settee, throwing glances at the poker table occasionally.
Charlie bragged and blustered to demolish the other
three right from the beginning.
Mark shot a cold glance at him. "Don’t worry, mate. I will leave you a pair of underwear."
It turned out later that Charlie had a streak of bad luck; he lost in every game and did not get his money
back.
Grace glanced at him. “You deserve it."
Raine let out a faint smile, her book more or less balanced. Charlie lost the most, while Summer was
the ultimate winner.
Summer had been getting good cards, not to mention she had an advisor behind her. She won so
much that money was stacking up on her side.
Mark sat behind Summer, extending a long arm as he reached for the card. It looked as if he was
embracing her in his arms, as he tilted his head a little to whisper into her ears.
It gladdened Grace to see the intimate interaction between the two of them. It looked like they were NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
getting along well.
But it was another story with Raine. She could not help stealing glances at Mark while trying not to be
noticed. She was so jealous that her body trembled involuntarily.
If she stayed on this way, she knew she would go crazy. She could not bear to see the lovey-dovey
couple any longer.
She thought maybe she should make a decision instead of letting things go on like this.
They stopped the game after a while. Charlie, who lost all his money, followed Mark upstairs to discuss
some business.
Raine, whose facial expression was not exactly revealing, went upstairs, too.
Grace and Summer were still sitting in the living room, chatting away. They talked about Sherman, and
Summer asked with concern. "How is Sherman doing now?"
"She is still the same. That jerk Billy had better not repeat the same mistake. If he gets caught again, I
will surely castrate him!" Grace could not hold back her anger and cursed when talking about it.
Yvette overheard what Grace said and took it all in.
Birds of a feather flock together. She raised her eyebrows and despised them even more.
"I am not talking about this. I was asking if she is still sad."
"How can she not be sad? She caught him with his pants down. It must have hurt her dearly."
Summer knew what Grace said was true. If she were t o be in Sherman's shoes, she would probably
never forget. "How is the relationship between them now?"
Grace fiddled with her hands. "It has been tense ever since. Billy is apologetic, groveling at Sherman's
feet, while Sherman cannot get over it and is sullen all day."
