The President's Accidental Wife

Chapter 45

"Hello, Ms. Atkinson," greeted Mark as he tucked his phone away.

Rushing to stand, "Hello there, Mr. Valentine," Nancy responded with her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Where’s Summer?"

Nancy was stunned to hear him calling Summer by her first name, ‘Since when were they on a first

name basis?'

"She went to get coffee," Nancy replied. What she had heard made her extremely curious, so gathering

up the courage, she asked him, "Is it fine for me to say that you seem close with Summer?"

"Yes. We are indeed very familiar with one another," with his eyebrows raised, his lips moved again as

he continued, "In fact, we're married."

Nancy's expression turned tense as her face darkened. Feeling as if there were thousands of needles

pricking on her heart, making her bleed uncontrollably, she felt out of breath.

As she thought of Summer's reply saying she wasn't close with Mr. Valentine, she felt furious. She

clenched her hands tightly to the point that the print o f her nails remained on her palms. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Just as Nancy was thinking about how Summer could be having fun watching her fall into despair,

Summer came back holding two cups of coffee in her hands. Noticing Mark there, she froze as she felt

surprised. Then, she asked, "What brings you here?"

She immediately eyed Nancy warily and thought, 'Oh n o. Has she found out about the truth of Mark

and me?'

Nancy noticed her glances, and while repressing her pain and the betrayal she felt, she forced herself

to say, "My dear Summer, why didn't you share this good news with me? I could've celebrated with

you."

Upon hearing this, Summer knew that Nancy had found out, and it was apparent to her that Mark was

the one who had told her.

Examining Nancy's expressions, Summer thought she didn't look too shocked or hurt from the news,

'Thank god she seems fine.' And knowing that her friend was okay, she felt a little less worried.

Holding Nancy’s hand, Summer looked sincere and apologetic as she told her, "I'm sorry, Nancy. I

didn't mean to hide it from you. There were some complications."

Nancy scoffed in her head, 'Complications? What complications could she possibly have when she

gets t o be married to a man like Mr. Valentine? Is she trying to mock me?’

Despite feeling otherwise, Nancy still plastered on a forgiving smile.

"Silly you, there's no need to apologize at all.

Congratulations, and you have my blessing. I'm sure there's an emergency, seeing as he came all the

way here for you. Go to him.”

After shooting Nancy a relieved smile, she turned towards Mark. He was watching her with a slight

playful gaze in his eyes. With his lips curving to a smirk, he teased, "I’m also curious to know what

were the complications you've mentioned just now. Do enlighten me."

Gritting her teeth, Summer glared at him as she knew he was teasing her on purpose to get on her

nerves.

"Billy and Sherman just came back from their honeymoon, and they want to meet up with us."

Mark replied without teasing her further. As his eyes swept over Nancy, he politely invited, "Ms.

Atkinson, you should come along as well."

Nancy bit her lip as she hesitated, "Would it be an inconvenience, though?"

"It's fine. It's just a simple meet-up anyways. Let's go," Summer said as she held Nancy's hand in hers

and led her to the car.

The meet up was held at Club Nightshade.

Billy and Sherman were relaxing on the couch while Charlie and Grace were playing billiards in a

private suite at the club.

The one who garnered the most attention in the room was Grace, as she was wearing a tight bodycon

dress and four inched heels.

Tsking, Sherman snickered, "Have you seen yourself with that outfit? You look as if you're insatiable

and just asking for it."

Without saying anything else, Grace just sneered at Sherman's comment.

Charlie's brows raised, and he looked as if he had something to say.
