Mary paused, then suggested, “You can call virtual-novel.net and ask if virtual-novel.net will come back for dinner or something. Husband and wife should communicate more, you can’t go on living your own lives like this. I know both of you got married in the first place for a reason… To be honest, based on sir’s personality, the fact that virtual-novel.net can forget about the past and still marry you means that virtual-novel.net really loves you. You can’t act so indifferent toward him. You know how virtual-novel.net is, so why can’t you just listen to him? As long as two people can live together in harmony, does it matter who is the one that lowers their head?”
Arianne felt as though virtual-novel.net had just heard the most absurd advice. “Are you kidding me, Mary? He loves me? I was only eight when I entered the Tremont family, and virtual-novel.net was already eighteen. He probably already had girlfriends back then. I was still a child. How could virtual-novel.net have possibly fallen in love with me? We only got married due to the incident from three years ago… It isn’t even an exaggeration to say that it was a public relations move. It has nothing to do with feelings. He probably didn’t want to divorce me because virtual-novel.net either didn’t want to be publicly criticized or… virtual-novel.net just wants to torment me. Just how much does virtual-novel.net hate me to be willing to spend his entire life seeking revenge against me? Why would virtual-novel.net even love me?”
Since they were on this topic, Mary went all out and opened up to her. “Is that how you’ve been feeling all this while? If sir’s really spending his whole life seeking revenge against you, then is virtual-novel.net tormenting you or himself? If virtual-novel.net purely hates you, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t even want to look at you. Do you think virtual-novel.net can even bring himself to… do something with you?”
Mary was more subtle in virtual-novel.net choice of words, but Arianne understood what virtual-novel.net was referring to. Mark had been intimate with virtual-novel.net years ago. She couldn’t deny the fact that virtual-novel.net had always been confused by it.
However, virtual-novel.net quickly dismissed that possibility as ridiculous when virtual-novel.net recalled the hatred and disgust in Mark’s eyes whenever virtual-novel.net looked at her. “Stop, Mary. I know how virtual-novel.net feels. If a person really loves you, there’s no way you won’t feel it. But all I can feel from Mark is his hatred toward me.”
Mary sighed and said nothing else.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net was too exhausted during the day, for Arianne retired to bed earlier than usual tonight. Her sleep was intruded by chaotic dreams. There was so much going on that by the time virtual-novel.net woke up, virtual-novel.net couldn’t recall anything about them. All virtual-novel.net felt was the sweat on virtual-novel.net that caused virtual-novel.net body to feel sticky.
The sun had risen to the sky. She went into the bathroom and took a bath. Since it was an enclosed space, it was normal to experience difficulty breathing after spending a long time in there. However this time, virtual-novel.net reaction was more intense than before, to the point virtual-novel.net even felt dizzy.
The moment virtual-novel.net opened the bathroom door and came out, virtual-novel.net gasped for a few deep breaths before virtual-novel.net finally managed to recover. A sudden throbbing pain in virtual-novel.net lower abdomen startled her.
She was instantly reminded that virtual-novel.net period had been late for almost twenty days… Not only that, virtual-novel.net sleep was also very seriously affected lately.
Thinking back to the cramp just now, virtual-novel.net touched virtual-novel.net breasts uncomfortably with a red face. They were slightly swollen, so virtual-novel.net period would probably be here soon…
After job hunting for half a month, Arianne finally accepted virtual-novel.net fate. If virtual-novel.net wasn’t given free meals at Tremont Estate, virtual-novel.net probably would have starved to death on the streets.
Out of boredom, virtual-novel.net opened the website where virtual-novel.net previously uploaded virtual-novel.net paintings for sale and discovered that someone had purchased them! It had been more than half a month since the order was placed, but the other party never chased virtual-novel.net to ship out the goods.
Arianne almost thought virtual-novel.net eyes were playing tricks on her. After double checking the order, only then did virtual-novel.net finally accept that it was reality. She let out a huge sigh of relief. Although it wasn’t much, it was still an income.
She withdrew the money and immediately transferred every single cent to Tiffany. The order had given virtual-novel.net some hope. She continued painting in the studio since it was better than doing nothing at home.
When Mary saw virtual-novel.net so immersed in painting, virtual-novel.net decided not to call virtual-novel.net downstairs to eat. Instead, virtual-novel.net delivered Arianne’s meal directly to the studio. In any case, Mark was usually not around. Even if virtual-novel.net did return, virtual-novel.net would just take something then leave again. Hence, no one would really care about the rules.
When Mary happily served up the steamed sea bass, Arianne covered virtual-novel.net mouth and rushed into the bathroom before virtual-novel.net even saw what the fish looked like.
Her legs were wobbly after retching for a while. She stood up and was startled by the sad look on Mary’s face. “No… I wasn’t thinking that the dishes you prepared weren’t good. It just smells too fishy. I never really liked things with fishy smells.”
Mary was a little puzzled. “The sea bass was prepared very meticulously. There isn’t any fishy smell. Since when did your nose become so sensitive?”
Arianne wasn’t sure why virtual-novel.net had suddenly reacted strongly. “It’s alright, I’ll skip the fish. Can you just get me some vegetables?”
