Arianne’s phone received a flurry of messages ever since Tiffany walked out. Just as the pair plunged into a heated discussion over text, Mark suddenly said, “Focus on your food.”
Arianne swiftly sent Tiffany a “Shhh” emoji, then put virtual-novel.net phone away. She picked up virtual-novel.net cutlery and obediently focused on virtual-novel.net meal. Her movements were so smooth that there wasn’t a single flaw, very similar to how virtual-novel.net reacted whenever virtual-novel.net scolded virtual-novel.net during meals or whenever virtual-novel.net was playing with toys.
He was slightly entranced by the sight of virtual-novel.net reaction…
The memories of his past with virtual-novel.net seemed to be solely filled with hatred…
Arianne noticed Mark’s gaze and grew wary. “What is it …?”
Mark turned away and poured virtual-novel.net a glass of wine.
She was shocked. He never drank wine with her…
After two seconds of hesitation, virtual-novel.net clinked virtual-novel.net glass with his.
Just as virtual-novel.net was sipping on virtual-novel.net wine, Mark suddenly asked, “Do you know what day it is?”
Having learned virtual-novel.net lesson from the last time virtual-novel.net had forgotten his birthday, Arianne quickly racked virtual-novel.net brain and soon had an answer. “Our wedding anniversary?”
She still held some suspicion when virtual-novel.net gave the answer. Why would Mark be discussing this with her? Topics that were exclusive to loving couples never crossed virtual-novel.net mind. She strongly suspected that the reason why virtual-novel.net had set aside his sharp edges and treated virtual-novel.net so amiably was because they were having a meal in public.
Mark seemed satisfied with virtual-novel.net reply and poured virtual-novel.net another glass.
Arianne knew that virtual-novel.net was a lightweight, so virtual-novel.net didn’t dare drink too much, virtual-novel.net was afraid of getting rip-roaring drunk and spoiling his mood. However, virtual-novel.net was also too afraid to refuse. After weighing the pros and cons, virtual-novel.net downed virtual-novel.net glass.
Her vision grew blurry throughout the meal. Her mind was fuzzy too. Her cheeks were as red as fully ripened fruit, ready for harvest.
Of course, Mark, whose liquor capacity was well-seasoned, was not even tipsy. He called the waitress over to settle the bill.
“Knowing that you’ve come to dine with us, our boss has waived the bill,” the waitress replied politely.
He smiled. “Tell Jackson that I’ll buy virtual-novel.net a meal next time.” White Water Bay Café was a business that Jackson West had started up for fun. He had grown used to the cooking style here and was their regular customer.
When virtual-novel.net saw Arianne getting up shakily, Mark stepped forward and pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms. “Let’s go.”
Her drunkenness granted virtual-novel.net drunk courage. Arianne had completely forgotten who the man in front of virtual-novel.net was. She raised virtual-novel.net hand and slapped virtual-novel.net right across the face. “You’d better hold onto me properly. I’ll make you pay if you drop me!”
A look of confusion appeared on Mark’s stern face. Was this virtual-novel.net true personality?
He helped virtual-novel.net into the car, grinning and bearing it the entire way. It was a chilly winter’s night but virtual-novel.net insisted on winding down the windows and enjoying the cold air. He had tried to shut the car windows but failed many times.
“I have motion sickness. Did you have any idea?!” She told virtual-novel.net in a stern and forceful voice. “I’ve always had to put up with it… Well, I don’t want to anymore!”
After so many years, virtual-novel.net really had no idea that virtual-novel.net had motion sickness…
Seeing how virtual-novel.net was suffering from the cold, Brian softly asked, “Sir… Perhaps we should just shut the windows?”
Mark massaged his temples, which were aching from the cold winds. “Just drive!”
