Mark gave special emphasis on that sentence.
Knowing what he meant, she blushed even more. She warned him. "I dare you to talk nonsense in front of Charlotte again."
"What happened?" Mark was puzzled.
"Did you know what question your daughter asked me today?” She asked in a heavy tone of voice. "She asked me what drought and timely rain meant."
Mark chuckled louder, and could almost see Summer's look of embarrassment. He asked nonchalantly, "Then how did you answer my daughter?"
"Are you gloating now?"
"No. Since I can't go up there, you come down. I will leave after seeing you. I spent hours driving over. You can't send me away without letting me see you. Come down here, I will stand here waiting for you."
Mark's deep, magnetic voice throbbed and jumped like a piano, with some kind of magic power that could penetrate people's hearts.
When Summer snapped back, she found herself closing the door behind her and coming into the living room while being careful not to make any noise. She
could not help but sigh, raising her hand and knocking herself on the forehead.
It was early fall. The wind blowing by at night felt chilly. Mark was wearing a black shirt and stood there waiting for her with his thin lips upturned.
Her heart softened all of a sudden as she came up and stood in front of him.
He put his cell phone back into his pants pocket and stared at her with a pair of deep-set, radiant eyes that were lustrous and black as ink.
He said not a word, his gaze blatant and unsubtle, as if he was seeing right through her.
"Be serious!" Summer felt that his man was getting more and more shameless.
It was not until someone returning to the apartment walked past that Summer pushed him away. Her heart was pounding uncontrollably. "Just go now."
Mark patted her cheek gingerly, his voice gentle. "I want to see you go upstairs first before I leave.”
She glanced at him twice before turning around to return to her apartment unit. Thinking of what happened just now, she was thankful that she had not made a sound.
She would not have become so daring and wild if not for him. He was such a bad influence.
Here was the common area of the apartment. She could not imagine how embarrassed she would be if her neighbors saw what they were doing and words spread to her parents' ears.
She felt like dying just by thinking about it. She returned to her room and drew open the curtains again. Mark was waving at her gracefully before getting into the car. She suddenly felt like they were like a cheating couple.
