Arianne was afraid that Tiffany might accidentally spill the beans, so virtual-novel.net quickly interjected. “I’m fine. I won’t stop worrying if I don’t help you either.”
Will smiled. “Wait for the. I have to go to the toilet.”
Tiffany grabbed Arianne’s hand after Will left. “Your hands are so cold. The doctor told you yesterday to be on bedrest for a week, yet you’re still running around. Will can help me out. Why don’t you go home?”
Since Arianne was already here anyway, of course, virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to leave now. “Alright already. Don’t spout nonsense in front of Will. I’m fine.”
On the other end, Will had arrived at the door to the toilet when virtual-novel.net paused in his footsteps. His gaze met with a pair of cold eyes. After a brief silence, virtual-novel.net spoke up, “Don’t tell me that you followed Ari all the way here?”
Mark’s gaze darkened. “Ari? Looks like you’re pretty close to my wife.”
Will felt a pang in his heart when virtual-novel.net heard the word ‘wife’. “Mark Tremont, I don’t care how you managed to force Ari into marrying you, but you should be good to virtual-novel.net or someone else might replace you.”
Mark curled his lips into a sneer, “Who do you think you are to speak to me like that? Her ex boyfriend? Or… someone who’s waiting to replace me? How I treat virtual-novel.net has nothing to do with you, Sivan. Do yourself a favor and disappear from virtual-novel.net life completely. Just because I’ve allowed you back into the country, doesn’t mean that you can brazenly try to rekindle your old flame.”
Will balled his hands into fists. For the first time in his life, the insufferably arrogant man in front of virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net the urge to lunge at virtual-novel.net and punch him. “Are you threatening me? Yes, it’s easy for you to crush the Sivan family. On the surface, you may look like you have everything under control, but you still have to carefully watch out. How sad…”
“If you don’t love her, please let virtual-novel.net go. I can see right through you. You’ve been tormenting virtual-novel.net all this time! Otherwise, why would you invite virtual-novel.net to my engagement party and not care if Wendy was dressed in the wedding dress virtual-novel.net designed? You even arranged for virtual-novel.net to give a speech!”
Mark narrowed his eyes and released a dangerous mien. Yes, virtual-novel.net made sure that someone recommended Arianne’s wedding dress design to Wendy; virtual-novel.net had ascertained that Wendy would choose that particular wedding dress. He had also brought Arianne to the engagement party on purpose and arranged for someone to put virtual-novel.net on the spot to give a congratulatory speech…
“Heh… Will, I’ve given the Sivan family a chance, but you’ve refused. Furthermore, whether Arianne is treated well or not, or if virtual-novel.net lives or dies, isn’t the Tremont family’s business. You are not fit to have any woman that I’ve touched, even if I’ve thrown virtual-novel.net away. So what if you slept with each other three years ago? It must feel awful to love someone that you’ll never have, right? Perhaps you should make a choice—the Sivan family or continuing to dream about a woman you’ll never have.”
Mark left after virtual-novel.net had finished his speech, with a terrifying smirk on his face. His Italian handmade leather shoes brushed against the cold, hard floors, creating dull, depressing thuds, just like the sound of Will’s heartbeat.
Will clenched his fists tightly. His mind reconsidered his idea from three years ago and festered madly. He wanted to abandon everything and whisk Arianna away to a place where no one knew them. As long as virtual-novel.net nodded virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net could abandon everything… Couldn’t he?
Could virtual-novel.net really do it though? Family pressure constantly reminded virtual-novel.net to look at the big picture. He would obediently follow the life that his parents had mapped out for virtual-novel.net forever. Should virtual-novel.net ever go against them, his entire family would fall into an abyss. Three generations of the Sivan family’s fortune would be destroyed in an instant, and virtual-novel.net would be the culprit behind it all.
Having to face a woman virtual-novel.net did not love was gradually turning the warm blood in his veins to ice, only for it to be melted away again whenever virtual-novel.net was around Arianne…
After the matters at the hospital were settled, Arianne, Tiffany, and Will left together. When they arrived at the hospital gate, Tiffany exclaimed in a half joking manner, “What’s up with you two? It’s my dad who’s gone. Why are you two so sullen? Ari’s always been like this, but what’s up with you, Will?”
