Arianne straightened virtual-novel.net back and asked bluntly, “What do you hope to achieve by telling me all this? You’re only acquainted with Mark through both of your fathers. I don’t think it’s your place to say any of this. Our marriage doesn’t concern you. You are being too much of a busybody, Miss Moran.”
Nina smiled then headed back to virtual-novel.net room without saying another thing.
Arianne pushed open the door and entered the bedroom. Mark seemed to be sound asleep so the room was quiet.
She laid down quietly with a chaotic mind. Every time someone mentioned the plane crash, virtual-novel.net would feel suffocated by an overwhelming pressure. It fanned virtual-novel.net desire to find Mr. Sloane as soon as possible so that virtual-novel.net could uncover the truth.
Early next morning, Mark got ready to go out.
Nina rushed out of virtual-novel.net room in a hurry. “Mark, I’m going out too! Give me a ride! I’m too lazy to drive.”
Arianne, when hearing this, reflexively jumped out of the bed and cracked the bedroom door open a bit to carefully observe the situation.
Mark didn’t refuse but said, “Where are you going? I’ll see if it’s in the same direction. If it’s not, then it’s better for you to drive yourself. I’m in a hurry.”
Since Nina didn’t know virtual-novel.net way around here, virtual-novel.net couldn’t really find a valid reason. In the end, virtual-novel.net just said, “I’ve seen the map, it’s near your office. Definitely along the way, so you can just drop me off there.”
Mark said nothing this time. Arianne only went downstairs after they left. Mary brought a bowl of millet porridge to the table. “Here’s your breakfast, Ari.”
Arianne hummed in response then sat down at the table. Gently stirring the steaming porridge in the bowl, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net didn’t have much of an appetite. “Mary… Nina told me some strange things last night. Since you know people better, help me analyze it.”
Mary pulled out a chair and sat down. “Go on, I’m all ears.”
Arianne repeated Nina’s exact words to virtual-novel.net last night Without missing even a single detail and Mary instantly rolled virtual-novel.net eyes. “I think she’s trying to tell you that she’s the best match for sir. She should look at herself in the mirror! You’ve been my sir’s side for more than ten years; how could virtual-novel.net possibly compare? That reminds me, I think I’ve seen virtual-novel.net before. But virtual-novel.net was only an ugly child back then… To be honest, I thought virtual-novel.net was lucky to be born into a good family because, otherwise, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be able to find a husband in the future. Little did I expect virtual-novel.net to change so much after growing up.
“At the time, Nina’s father had the intention of giving sir his daughter’s hand in marriage, but sir didn’t accept it. Sir wasn’t even an adult back then and Nina was four years younger than him. His father said that virtual-novel.net would let the children decide for themselves in the future, but who knew something would go wrong after that… It’s been so many years. Since Nina came to find sir as soon as virtual-novel.net returned to the country, I’m guessing that virtual-novel.net still had that intention in mind. Given how ugly virtual-novel.net looked when virtual-novel.net was young, I didn’t think virtual-novel.net would grow up into the dashing lady virtual-novel.net is today. It’s most likely plastic surgery. Rest assured, Ari, sir isn’t that kind of person.”
Arianne felt a little uncomfortable. “I’m not worried… I was just asking casually. Why would I worry about it? Alright Mary, please return to your work now. I’ll help you out again when I feel better next time.”
Mary shot virtual-novel.net a glare. “No way. Do you have short-term memory? Sir will never approve of letting you work with the servants all day long. Didn’t you notice that he’s been treating you better after that incident? If you’re still going to insist on helping me with my work, I don’t know how I’ll explain myself to him. You better rest up so you can do whatever you should soon. Hopefully, you can bear a child for the Tremont family soon. Having a child can naturally bring a married couple closer together.”
Arianne’s face turned pale at the mention of a child. The miscarriage had not only damaged virtual-novel.net physically, but even moreso, psychologically. She was ashamed that virtual-novel.net had ever even considered an abortion… Who would have guessed that Aery would end up making the decision for her…
