Arianne offered Mark the miller porridge. “Here, have some porridge. It’s good for the stomach.”
Mark didn’t look at her. “Get out.”
She didn’t budge an inch. “Uncle Henry is packing as we speak. Is there really no room to talk this out?”
Mark massaged the place between his eyes, and his voice filled with impatience, “Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Arianne silenced herself but didn’t leave.
Mark directly ignored virtual-novel.net and got up to change his clothes. It was then that Arianne felt pressed. “Mark, the case revolving around Tiffie’s family has been solved. The person who took away the jewelry’s raw materials is dead, and there’s no way the materials can be recovered again. Tiffie was upset by the turn of events. I only went out to comfort her! It was me who insisted on going. This has nothing to do with Uncle Henry! You can direct your anger at me.”
Mark put on his suit and his watch, then conveniently glanced at the time. “I’ll give you two minutes. If you fail to convince me, then the result will not change and you can save your breath.”
Arianne was burning with anxiety when virtual-novel.net blurted, “I’m no longer the little girl that you took in, I’m your wife! This is the fact, no matter what caused our relationship to get to this point. We need to change the way we deal with things.”
Mark cast a cold glance at her. “First of all, you need to act your part as a wife. It’s not good to be out and about late at night. ”
Arianne’s shoulders drooped as virtual-novel.net visibly deflated like a balloon. “It’s my fault…”
“You just mentioned that you want to change the way we deal with things. Don’t try to solve a problem by admitting mistakes like you did when you were a child,” Mark reminded.
While saying that, Mark was already making his way to the door. Arianne blocked his way in virtual-novel.net distress, then tiptoed and pecked virtual-novel.net on his cheek. “It’s my fault… Please don’t be angry at me anymore?”
Her action caught Mark off guard, and his body involuntarily stiffened up in response.
Arianne was a little embarrassed when virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net sounded like Aery Kinsey when virtual-novel.net was acting like a baby. It was repulsive, but virtual-novel.net thought that virtual-novel.net might like this tone.
She watched the changes in his expression while waiting for virtual-novel.net to speak. Finally after a long moment, Mark found his voice. “Don’t do that again. Now, move…”
Arianne obediently moved out of his way, not daring to bring up Tiffany’s family affairs again. It was good enough that Butler Henry’s position was secured.
Tiffany’s family was in a huge amount of debt that amounted to tens of millions. She really had no confidence in convincing Mark to help.
The ‘war’ between the both of them would always end before it even started. No matter how much virtual-novel.net hated virtual-novel.net or how upset virtual-novel.net was, Mark would always wait for virtual-novel.net to lower virtual-novel.net head to virtual-novel.net on virtual-novel.net own accord. The only door virtual-novel.net seemed to be giving virtual-novel.net was the one where virtual-novel.net would need to make virtual-novel.net happy if virtual-novel.net wanted peace.
Sometimes, virtual-novel.net was confused too. Mark obviously hated her, but why did virtual-novel.net enjoy the process of virtual-novel.net submission? Could it be that virtual-novel.net felt the joy of revenge by watching virtual-novel.net beg for mercy..? Maybe that was it…
It was a leisure afternoon. Arianne was bored stiff on the sofa while browsing on virtual-novel.net phone. Tiffany’s family case had already come to the light. From the look of it, it seemed like the Lane family was doomed. Some sympathized with them, some were indifferent, and some were enjoying the drama. No one would lend a helping hand in this kind of situation. It was tens of millions of debt. No one would donate so generously.
She wanted to find Tiffany and do whatever virtual-novel.net could as a friend at a time like this. But virtual-novel.net call couldn’t get through because Tiffany’s phone was off.
That night, Mark didn’t return home. Arianne lost sleep again over Tiffany’s situation. Unable to catch a wink of sleep the entire night, virtual-novel.net looked pale the next day, and dark circles even appeared under virtual-novel.net eyes.
She couldn’t get in touch with Tiffany. Without Mark’s permission, virtual-novel.net couldn’t go out either. She finally took the initiative to call Mark when virtual-novel.net could no longer stand it.
