On the other side
In the bar
There were many lakes on the seashore, so even the bar was built by the lake, literally beside the mountain and the water.
Charlie took two shots of spirits and passed one to Mark, who was reclining on the sofa. "Mr. Valentine, please."
Mark's eyes flitted over the spirits, his left hand resting on the side of his temple, kneading gently. "I'm not interested. What brought you here?"
"It's very difficult to hear from Mr. Valentine that he's not interested in liquor. I came to bring you a wedding invitation card." Charlie sat down with his legs crossed, looking debonair.
"Yours?"
"Yup..."
"With Grace?” His tall body bent slightly, as he reached out for a glass of warm water and took a sip.
"How do you know?"
"The way you and Grace look into each other's eyes is s o hot that it almost burns each other to death. You've
always said that marriage is the grave of love. What happened now?"
Charlie’s lips curved upward and said, "I am now willing to die in the grave. Is there a problem?"
"You can do whatever you want. How about Billy?"
"He's half-dead. Sherman caught him giving money to that junior, and now he’s asking me to transfer the money for him. I won't do it."
The muscles in Mark's handsome face moved slightly and his jaw rose with ego as he gulped down the rest o f the water from the glass. "Ho..."
Last night, he did plan to ask her, but after hearing her answer to Dean, he actually backed away, afraid of hearing her cruel answer.
"Does Ms. Hart know how you feel about her?" Then Charlie said to himself, "I wouldn’t expect you to say anything. What the hell are you doing?"
Mark kneaded his forehead and didn't answer, slightly irritated.
"I think it's a miracle Ms. Hart didn’t chase you away. You’re in love with your aunt, yet at the same time hovering around her like a fly-"
The next second, the windbreaker had covered Charlie’s head directly. Mark frowned and said, "You know, regarding Raine, I don't-"
"You don't love her, do you? Mr. Valentine, do you have any idea how big the news is about you and your aunt? The entire Santabaca knows that you're in love with Raine, okay? More importantly, you didn’t deny i t." 1
