Arianne gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and stood up as virtual-novel.net looked at Nina. “Well, you can always leave! I am the mistress of this house. I don’t need anyone’s permission to keep a pet, let alone a guest like you. It was my cat’s fault for scratching you, but it would never randomly scratch anyone. I apologize to you on its behalf and will pay for your injection. Fair enough?”
Nina sullenly covered the scratches on virtual-novel.net hand and went upstairs. She proceeded to slam the door so hard that it was clearly audible downstairs.
Mark entered Nina’s room, perhaps after hearing the incident. Arianne had no idea what they talked about, but Nina came downstairs not long after with virtual-novel.net luggage while talking on virtual-novel.net phone.
From virtual-novel.net tone, virtual-novel.net sounded like virtual-novel.net was talking to Charles Moran on the phone.
Mark snatched the phone from virtual-novel.net hand. “Uncle Moran, things aren’t that serious. Ari was just in a bad mood from virtual-novel.net miscarriage. Nina just got scratched by the cat in my house. I’ll bring virtual-novel.net for an injection later. Everything is fine, don’t worry.”
Arianne turned a deaf ear. It was none of virtual-novel.net business what they were going to do. At worst, virtual-novel.net would just admit that it was all virtual-novel.net fault.
It seemed that Nina wasn’t really planning on leaving. After the call ended, virtual-novel.net complained to Mark tearfully, “Is it my fault that I got scratched by the cat? Why did virtual-novel.net have to talk like that? You heard it too from upstairs, right? What did virtual-novel.net mean by saying she’s the mistress of this house? Was that for me? She made it sound like I was trying to fight with virtual-novel.net over that authority! She wasn’t even in the picture when I got to know you! If it wasn’t for my dad asking me to stay with you temporarily after returning to the country, I wouldn’t even come here. The renovation of the house that my dad bought me is barely completed, so I can’t move there yet. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even need to suffer like this!”
Mark’s eyebrows were knitted together out of annoyance, but Arianne wasn’t sure at whom.
Without saying anything, virtual-novel.net helped Nina carry virtual-novel.net luggage back into the room. After that, Arianne wasn’t sure what Mark told her, but Nina ended up following virtual-novel.net to the dining table.
Rice Ball still wasn’t willing to come out under the sofa, so Arianne waited at the side. She had been living while suffering in silence, so virtual-novel.net didn’t want virtual-novel.net cat to live the same way as virtual-novel.net did.
“Arianne, come over here and eat,” Mark called out to her.
“I’m not eating,” virtual-novel.net replied dully.
With forbearance in his eyes, Mark came over and pulled virtual-novel.net up from the ground. “Are you a kid? Come eat!”
Arianne, no longer able to stand his hypocrisy in front of others anymore, brushed his hand off. “You can explode if you’re at your limit. Just treat me like you usually do. You don’t have to pretend just because Nina is here. I know you best!”
His face finally turned cold. “I know you’re dissatisfied with me because of Will Sivan’s matter. We’ll talk about it slowly after dinner. For now, I want you to go eat and don’t make me repeat myself a second time!”
Nina, who was feeling upset earlier, became shocked at the sight of Mark’s sudden anger. She had never seen Mark acting this way. His behavior was the polar opposite of his usual gentle appearance.
The corners of Arianne’s lips curled into a smile, but it didn’t reach virtual-novel.net eyes. “That’s right, that’s more like it. I’m also going to make myself clear. I have no desire to eat at the same table as you because I don’t want to see your face! If you didn’t hear that clearly, I can repeat it for you again!”
Silence immediately ensued. Mary hurriedly rushed between them to stop them. “Madam, please come and eat. You can talk about it after your meal. Don’t always upset sir… Please listen to him.”
