When Arianne returned to the Tremont Estate, virtual-novel.net quietly took a shower in the bathroom downstairs. By the time virtual-novel.net came out, Mary had cooked a bowl of noodles for her. “Ari, come have a bite. You must be tired from working so late.”
Arianne was a little touched. “Mary… I’ll be working overtime the next few days. It’s already so late now, don’t wait for me to return next time. I won’t be hungry.”
Mary smiled at her. “It’s an order from sir. He didn’t word it very nicely, so I will spare you the details. But the point is, virtual-novel.net cares about you. Come eat and rest early after you’re done.”
Arianne knew what Mark said without even guessing. It was probably along the lines of how virtual-novel.net would need to spend money to treat virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net overworked to exhaustion, or virtual-novel.net was worried that others would say that virtual-novel.net was abusing her.
After Arianne was done with virtual-novel.net noodles, virtual-novel.net crept upstairs into the room like a thief. She didn’t even turn on the lights out of fear of waking Mark. However, virtual-novel.net still flipped over the moment virtual-novel.net got into the bed, causing virtual-novel.net to freeze in a sitting position for a few minutes. She only laid down cautiously after making sure that virtual-novel.net wasn’t moving anymore.
She adjusted virtual-novel.net posture and fell asleep very quickly. After an exhausting day, virtual-novel.net was already fighting to keep virtual-novel.net eyes open.
Mark slowly opened his eyes in the darkness. Perhaps virtual-novel.net soft hair had tickled the tip of his nose. He could smell the light fragrance on virtual-novel.net body.
Women out there wore all types of perfumes, yet virtual-novel.net hadn’t found any particular scent that virtual-novel.net fancied. She was the only one who carried this unique scent on her…
Arianne woke up half an hour earlier than usual the next day. Seeing that Mark wasn’t awake yet, virtual-novel.net boldly started changing virtual-novel.net clothes on the edge of the bed as virtual-novel.net planned to arrive at the office early today.
She shyly undressed with virtual-novel.net back to the bed but when virtual-novel.net turned around to take virtual-novel.net clothes, virtual-novel.net suddenly discovered that Mark had opened his eyes at some point. Not only that, his eyes were bloodshot. Seemed like virtual-novel.net slept well last night? Or at least, better than her.
Their eyes met, and Arianne averted virtual-novel.net gaze anxiously as virtual-novel.net pretended to put on virtual-novel.net clothes nonchalantly. “I I’m leaving first… Don’t forget to eat your breakfast.”
Of course, virtual-novel.net didn’t get a response from him. She hurried downstairs with virtual-novel.net cheeks burning.
Mary shoved a sandwich to virtual-novel.net with matching speed. “You have to eat something no matter how busy you are! Why is your face so red? Are you sick?”
“No… I’m just feeling a little hot!” Arianne gave a vague reply.
“It’s a cold morning, why is virtual-novel.net feeling hot…?” Mary mumbled in concern as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net leave.
It was ten o’clock and Mark still hadn’t gotten up. Mary got worried again and whispered to Butler Henry, “What’s wrong with sir today? He usually gets up early, but he’s sleeping in today. Something doesn’t seem right with the both of them today… One is saying that she’s feeling hot on a cold winter morning while the other one is suddenly sleeping in despite usually being disciplined.”
Butler Henry had a look of incredulity on his face. “How can you not get it despite living so many decades?”
Realization suddenly dawned upon Mary. “Oooooh… I get it now! Stupid me. It’s nice to be young and energetic in the morning. I’m guessing that they had a busy night yesterday too. I’ll have the kitchen prepare something nutritious for Ari and sir. Hopefully they can have a baby soon…”
Mark happened to hear the conversation from the top of the stairs. His face soured a little as virtual-novel.net silently descended the steps. Mary quickly shut up in surprise.
