Arianne got up and went upstairs, but stopped again when virtual-novel.net was in front of Mark’s room.
While Arianne was hesitating, Butler Henry pushed open the door, leaving no room for virtual-novel.net to mentally prepare herself.
She reflexively averted virtual-novel.net gaze from the room. How would virtual-novel.net react if virtual-novel.net saw something virtual-novel.net shouldn’t?
“Sir, madam isn’t in good health, so virtual-novel.net needs to rest now. Please send the insignificant person to the guest room.” Butler Henry’s tone was humble, yet carried the weight of authority.
Mark was smoking a cigarette on the chair before the French window. He merely cast a silent glance at Arianne.
“Who are you calling insignificant?” Aery was quick to retort. “Mark dear is still smoking. If you don’t feel well, then why don’t you sleep in the guest room, big sis?”
Arianne said nothing. She only looked at Mark.
Butler Henry gently nudged virtual-novel.net into the room.
It was his silent push that reminded Arianne that virtual-novel.net shouldn’t continue being a coward. “You’re not fit to sleep in this room unless I divorce him. Please get out.”
Aery immediately pouted virtual-novel.net lips and ran to Mark. She circled virtual-novel.net arms around his neck and started whining. “Mark dear, I’m just telling big sis for virtual-novel.net own good. Look at how virtual-novel.net talks to me…”
Mark snuffed his cigarette out, then spoke softly. “Go to the guest room.”
A smug look immediately appeared on Aery’s face. “Did you hear that? Mark dear is telling you to go to the guest room.”
Butler Henry never really liked to meddle in anyone’s affairs, but even virtual-novel.net was getting a little angry now. Just a virtual-novel.net was about to say something, virtual-novel.net was interrupted by Mark. “I’m talking about you.”
The expression on Aery’s face immediately turned stiff before virtual-novel.net became teary-eyed. “No, I don’t want to!” virtual-novel.net whined. “It’s scary to sleep alone, so I want to be with you…”
Mark pushed virtual-novel.net hands away coldly and stood up. His lip then curled into what seemed like an amused smile. “Are you still a three years old?”
Aery visibly deflated like a balloon, then left reluctantly. She even deliberately bumped into Arianne when virtual-novel.net walked past virtual-novel.net by the door.
Butler Henry shut the door and left. Arianne choked on the smell of smoke that lingered in the room as soon as virtual-novel.net went in. She opened the window to ventilate the room. Just when virtual-novel.net finally stopped coughing, virtual-novel.net was seized by another coughing fit.
Mark suddenly spoke up from behind her. “Is it so hard to forget about your first man?”
Her long hair tousled in the wind that came from the window and chilled the forbidden part of virtual-novel.net heart.
He wasn’t really expecting an answer from her. He took out his suitcase and shoved his clothes inside.
Arianne went over and silently helped virtual-novel.net pack, but virtual-novel.net responded by kicking the suitcase away.
It was at that moment that tears welled up in virtual-novel.net eyes. It felt as though a grain of sand had gotten into virtual-novel.net eyes. “Mary isn’t around. Let me help you…”
Mark’s eyes were filled with rage. “Did you think I’d let you go and find Will Sivan? Don’t worry, you don’t have to find him. I’ll make virtual-novel.net come back!”
She lifted virtual-novel.net eyes to look at him, feeling flustered for some reason. How would virtual-novel.net make Will come back…?
