The President's Accidental Wife novel Chapter 354

Mark hit the nail on the head. "You held her tightly in your arms even when she was asleep. If it weren’t for your legs getting numb, you wouldn't have put her down. You had been so alert. If I were to tell you beforehand, what would you have done? You would have probably carried her and jumped out of the car."

"Mark, she is my daughter; I have the right to take her away." She reminded him in an icy voice and flung his hand away.

"I didn't say that she was not your daughter, did I?"

"So I want to take her away." Summer spelled out the words as she stared at him.

"Ms. Hart, she is my daughter, too. Trust me, you can't take her away." Mark sguinted and smiled and reminded her as well.

"When can I take her away, Mark? You have got to give me a definite answer."

Mark raised his lips with a half-smile and stared at her with a casual and lazy look on his face.

"I can even give you two answers. The first one is that after you apply for a change of custody, you can take her away at any time on the day the court awards

custody to you. I absolutely have no problem with that. The second answer is that you sleep with me for a month, and I will consider giving up custody of the child." i

His thinking was that one month was long enough to make him get bored and disgusted with a woman's body, no matter how obsessed he was with her before.

One month was enough for him to figure out if he was just fascinated by her body, or he really loved her.

His abnormality should disappear and return to the previous normal state by then.

Summer snickered, feeling his words reeking of irony. "Mark, once bitten, twice shy. Do you think I will be fooled a second time?"

"Then, I have a peaceful proposal for you."

"A peaceful proposal?" Summer looked up at him.

"While the court is deliberating my application for custodial rights, Charlotte will stay with me. But you may see her every day in my mansion, and I will not limit the time you see her. After the court has decided on the rights to custody, the one who wins the custodial right can take Charlotte away. What do you say?" His voice was deep, but lacked the usual casualness. He sounded like he meant business.

Summer said nothing. She was pondering about it quietly. After a long while, she nodded and gave her response. "Deal.”

"Great."

The two people had reached an agreement, and the atmosphere was not so tense to the point of eruption anymore. They felt more at ease with each other.
