The President's Accidental Wife

Chapter 174

Summer let out a soft sigh. "You can swallow vinegar t o get rid of the thorn in your throat. But what do

you need to swallow when it is a thorn in our heart?"

"I don't know, but the only thing I know is that I will swallow anything as long as I can get rid of the

thorn. Come, drink with me."

"It is his birthday today. I can't go right now. Once it's over, I will find you, okay?"

She coaxed Sherman like a child, with patience and a soft voice.

As sad as Sherman felt, she was still sensible. "Sure, Summer."

After hanging up, Summer let out a long sigh. She knew how Sherman felt, and she felt sorry for her.

But how could she help her?

She collected her thoughts and glanced toward the dining hall before heading to the washroom.

She knew she would tense up again as soon as she returned to the dining hall. She wanted to relax her

mind. Besides, she had nature's call to answer.

When she came in front of the washroom and was about to push the door open, she heard voices

coming from the inside.

Stopping and tilting her head, she listened in. She froze on the spot like boulder when she recognized

the voices.

The voices belonged to Raine and Mark, respectively. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

It gave her the chills. She held her breath, standing there without making a sound as he peeked in from

behind the door.

Raine and Mark were facing each other, only one step apart from each other.

"I thought you had something to say? Why don’t you speak now?" Mark looked at Raine and asked in a

deep voice.

There were signs of dilemma and internal struggle on Raine’s face. She closed her eyes. A few

moments later, she opened her eyes. "Do you know how long it took me to find a suitable present for

you?"

"I don't know. What I know is that I may do whatever I want with the present. Don't I?"

Raine’s face stiffened, her voice reeking of bitterness." You weren't like this last time. You kept and

cherished all the things that I gave you."

He raised his eyebrows, his expression deepening further. "As you said, it was last time, three years

ago. Things have changed. Don’t you understand?"

Things had changed in the past three years; Raine forced a smile. "Yeah, three years on and you are

no longer the person you used to be."

Mark sneered, his eyes locked on her as he called her b y name, "Raine, is it you or me who have

changed?"

"We have all changed. Time and reality have changed us. Things are no longer as they used to be. I

am sorry for my recklessness. You may go now."

"Raine, I have been at your beck and call all this while. But for how long do you think you can still do

that?"

His voice was as cold as ice, as if it could freeze her to death. Mark gave her a few cold glances before

he turned around and walked straight out.

'I have been at your beck and call all this while. But for how long do you think you can still do that?'

These words sent Raine into a panic. She lunged forward and wrapped her arms around Mark's waist

from behind.

She had seen the interaction between Mark and Summer, and she took that all in.

It panicked her. She was afraid that Mark would grow a feeling for Summer, and if that happened, he

would never come back to her.
