Tomorrow, virtual-novel.net would finally get to clear up things with ‘Mr. Sloane’ who sent the letter. Perhaps after that, virtual-novel.net would finally be able to sit with Mark and enjoy a peaceful meal together…
After dinner, Arianne strolled around the garden before virtual-novel.net went back and laid down in virtual-novel.net room. Since the pregnancy made virtual-novel.net easily fatigued, Arianne turned in early for the day. The quality of virtual-novel.net sleep was better than ever, so virtual-novel.net didn’t even realize that Mark had come back and taken a shower. It was only when virtual-novel.net stirred awake in the middle of the night that virtual-novel.net realized that Mark had been sitting in front of the French window all this while.
“You’re back…?” virtual-novel.net asked in a daze.
Mark didn’t respond but virtual-novel.net didn’t care. She only wanted to take care of virtual-novel.net personal business as quickly as possible so that virtual-novel.net could return to virtual-novel.net warm blanket.
As virtual-novel.net headed toward the door, his cold voice suddenly rang out. “Why did Ethan give you money?”
Arianne stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks as virtual-novel.net mind suddenly became clearer. “You were having me watched?”
She didn’t expect Mark to be so ‘free’ as to have a firm grasp on virtual-novel.net every move.
Mark didn’t reply to her, so virtual-novel.net took his silence as admission. “The money is for Tiffie. Something like compensation for their breakup. I was only passing it on,” virtual-novel.net explained.
Without waiting for virtual-novel.net to speak, virtual-novel.net went straight to the washroom downstairs. Up until now, virtual-novel.net still kept things separated clearly between them. Under normal circumstances, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t use the washroom in the bedroom, especially when virtual-novel.net was home. To be more precise, virtual-novel.net felt uncomfortable using it, as virtual-novel.net was living on his charity.
By the time virtual-novel.net returned to the room, Mark was gone. She guessed that virtual-novel.net must have gone to the study room.
Arianne made a cup of black tea and sent it to the study room. Neither of them spoke.
Early next morning, virtual-novel.net tidied herself up and went out to meet Tiffany at the station. They bought the tickets for a three-hour train ride according to the address on the envelope.
On their way there, Arianne felt a wave of unspeakable excitement. The fog that had been clouding the sky for many years was about to be lifted. She had been waiting too long for this moment…
Since Tiffany was born with a silver spoon in virtual-novel.net mouth, virtual-novel.net had never taken a train in virtual-novel.net life. She was quite excited for virtual-novel.net very first experience. “Ari, after we settle everything about your dad, we should take another trip back there and enjoy ourselves. We need a weekend getaway to relax our minds!”
Enjoying herself wasn’t on the list of Arianne’s priorities right now. She kept virtual-novel.net head lowered as virtual-novel.net carefully studied the letter in virtual-novel.net hands. “Tiffie, I’ve never believed that my father was the one who caused the incident back then. The accident killed so many people and virtual-novel.net had to shoulder the blame… He’s probably been unable to rest in peace under his grave… Wait until I get to the bottom of things, I’ll have the whole world know that my dad is innocent.. I’ll clear his name…!”
Tiffany grabbed virtual-novel.net hands. “We’ll definitely get to the bottom of things. We’re getting closer and closer to the truth. You should enjoy the scenery along the way instead of getting lost in your own world. lt’s so beautiful! After this, you can throw the evidence in Mark’s face! If you choose to continue living with him, then make virtual-novel.net treat you better!”
Arianne cheered up at the mention of Mark She had never even dreamed of clearing away virtual-novel.net sins in the past. Now, virtual-novel.net wanted to be able to stand up in front of virtual-novel.net and look virtual-novel.net in the eye…
