Not only did Arianne manage to hold back virtual-novel.net tears, virtual-novel.net even managed a smile. She was afraid that virtual-novel.net tears might bring bad luck to Will’s engagement party. Hence, virtual-novel.net tried virtual-novel.net best to smile…
At least his fiancée was very pretty. She was an appropriate match for the Sivan family. She hoped that virtual-novel.net would live a happy life.
As if drawn by some sort of invisible force, Will’s gaze landed on Arianne. His smile instantly faded. The starry sparkle in his eyes was immediately awash with sadness.
They locked eyes for two seconds before Arianne hurriedly looked elsewhere. She didn’t have the courage to look virtual-novel.net in the eye.
“Ari,” Tiffany gritted virtual-novel.net teeth angrily, “Unless I’m mistaken, the bridal gown on Will’s fiancée is one of your designs. Mark Tremont is just… too cruel!”
Arianne finally noticed this once virtual-novel.net pointed it out. It was true. She had initially thought that Mark had purely brought virtual-novel.net to the fashion show because virtual-novel.net design would be on display. Incidentally, virtual-novel.net brought virtual-novel.net to have dinner at White Water Bay Café. She was even naive enough to think that it was simply because it was their anniversary. Now it seemed… That virtual-novel.net wanted virtual-novel.net to remember virtual-novel.net wedding dress design, and that dinner was simply out of convenience.
It was just like Mark Tremont… His tactics were as brilliant as ever-making virtual-novel.net design a wedding dress for Will Sivan’s fiancée and forcing virtual-novel.net to see it with virtual-novel.net own eyes.
Unbeknownst to her, Mark’s plan didn’t stop there. Everyone was well-informed of virtual-novel.net affair with Will that year, even Will’s fiancée was not kept in the dark. Not only did virtual-novel.net not reject the wedding dress, but virtual-novel.net even “generously” invited her, the wedding dress designer, up on stage to give a speech to the happy couple.
Tiffany was close to exploding. “Don’t do it, Ari… Let’s leave right now!”
Arianne lowered virtual-novel.net head and took a deep breath. When virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net head again, a flawless smile was plastered on virtual-novel.net face.
She had put on virtual-novel.net most hypocritical mask in the face of the crowd that was anticipating a good show.
She leisurely stepped forward and accepted the microphone from Wendy Galena, Will’s fiancée. She did not look at Will. “I’m honored to have seen my design here. Will, as your old friend, I wish you happiness.”
Will suddenly pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms, condensing too many of his sentiments into this one hug. “I wish you happiness too…”
Wendy was very closeby and had the clearest view of the agony in Will’s eyes. How could virtual-novel.net not feel tortured by this?
That hug lasted a mere five seconds and was as ordinary as any other hug. Arianne handed the microphone to the priest, then walked back into the crowd without hesitation.
Mark’s eyes followed virtual-novel.net the entire time. He pursed his lips and stayed completely silent.
Jackson, who was next to him, said in a half joking manner, “Mark, I’ve come to realize that Arianne has suddenly become a lot like you, a skilled actor, unfathomable.”
Mark didn’t respond and walked straight to Arianne.
Jackson was a little worried, so virtual-novel.net followed virtual-novel.net with Eric in tow.
Tiffany noticed the trio heading towards them. Her expression promptly turned into a horrible shade. She immediately stood in front of Arianne, shielding her. “Are you quite done, Mark Tremont? You’ve gotten what you wanted. I was wondering why Ari had to suffer so much in school with a ‘brother’ like you… And now I know, your gentleness will only be given to every object in the world, but her. You’re not fit to be virtual-novel.net ‘brother’ and certainly not fit to be virtual-novel.net husband!”
