"He is still sleeping,” Summer said.
As she walked into the bathroom, she heard voices speaking from the living room.
"Mark is still asleep. Let's wait for him to have breakfast together," Solomon said.
"Alright. Keep your voice down. Don't wake him up." Daisy's voice was not any softer, though.
Listening on, Summer shook her head in an I-can't-even fashion while her mouth was filled with toothpaste foam. 1
When she came out of the bathroom, Amara was lying on the settee, whining about her hungry stomach.
"Mom, let's have breakfast. Just keep a small portion for Mark," Summer said.
"That’s not very gracious. Just wait a little longer. We will have breakfast when Mark is here," Daisy said.
While they were talking, Mark just woke up and walked out of the room, his eyes barely open. He was buttoning his shirt as he emerged, his bare chest exposed, revealing his sexy and charming wall of muscles.
Amara looked on, wide-eyed as she was treated to
such rare eye candy in the morning.
Mark came to his senses when he sensed the stare. Without looking up, he quickened his motion to finish buttoning his shirt.
He then raised his head with a smile at the corners of his mouth. "Good morning, Dad, Mom."
"Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?” Daisy asked with a smile.
"Fantastic, and I even had a good dream,” Mark smiled and said gently.
"That is good. Go wash up. We will have breakfast in a while." Daisy was very satisfied with her son-in-law.
Meanwhile, Summer was making breakfast: traditional Esthainian and French breakfast.
Summer gritted her teeth and glared at him. Thinking of last night, she felt blood rushing up her ears. "Not everyone is as thick-skinned as you are."
It gratified Daisy to see Mark and Summer flirting with each other. "Don't mention it, Mark. We are family. Drive safe."
He nodded in acknowledgement, and then started the engine of his black Land Rover as Summer gave Daisy her goodbyes. She then got into the car and they left.
Summer figured that Yvette must have discovered that they did not return home last night. She let out a soft sigh of helplessness, expecting to get an earful when they arrived at the Valentine mansion.
Yvette would surely not give a damn if she was the only one staying overnight there.
But Mark was with her and did not return home. This would not please Yvette, she thought.
Mark gave a sideways glance at her when he heard her sighing. "Seems that you really don't feel like going back to the Valentine mansion, Mrs. Valentine."
"No, I am just thinking about something else-”
