Summer reached out to snatch back the diamond ring, but Mark took a step forward and clutched her lower jaw with his hand. "Who was this diamond ring bought for, whose finger was it intended for, and who was the one rejecting it? I think you have probably forgotten all about it. I was merely asking a few questions, and you lost your temper so quickly. You are unconscionable."
She used her tongue to moisten her dry lips, but she said nothing.
"I heard about the marriage proposal of you and Dean. Were you the one proposing it?" Mark was fiddling with her hair leisurely as he spoke.
"Why ask when you already know about it?"
Mark started to tighten his hand on her lower jaw and said snappishly, "Can't you learn to be demure as a woman and teacher? I can't believe that you have proposed to a man. Where have all the propriety you have learned so far gone?"
Summer remained silent, stopping short of rolling her eyes. "What does proposing have to do with propriety?”
"Okay, why don’t you propose to me, then? Come on." H e raised his brows, his lips upturning as he stared at
her and waited.
She looked at what he did and blinked. "I don’t have time for this.”
"Since you have proposed once, you should have more experience for a second one. Come on.” The pitch of his voice increased toward the end of his sentence as he waved to her.
She smacked his hand away and put up a halting hand at him, looking annoyed. "I am in the midst of cleaning up the room. Go away if you are not helping."
Mark was not too happy with her cavalier attitude." What harm can it do by proposing one more time?”
"It would do no harm." She threw the rag on the table." But are you trying to find fault right now?"
Mark panicked slightly upon hearing that. She proposed to Dean, but not to him. Right now, he wished he could smack her butt a few times to vent his spleen.
He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around, so that they were eye to eye. His eyes lit up like torches as he gazed at her. "Then let me do the honor instead." 1
But before his deep voice could leave his mouth, Summer put her hand to his lips. "It is not the time yet."
He stared at her solemnly, his magnetic voice flying out of his lips. "You have rejected this diamond ring once. Do you think you can still throw it away a second time? I tell you what, no way.”
Summer chuckled and wrapped her arms around his narrow and muscular waist while burying her face in his neck. "Hey! Has anyone ever said that you look cute when you are jealous?”
"Are you making fun of me now?” His face darkened, unsurprisingly. He looked down at the top of her head.
