As Arianne thought of ways to cover for virtual-novel.net slip of the tongue, Mark had already lay down next to her. He took virtual-novel.net phone away before virtual-novel.net said, “Then what kind of tone do you want me to use with you?”
Arianne’s face felt a little hot when virtual-novel.net caught a whiff of the manly scent that belonged uniquely to him. “Give me back my phone… I’ll sleep after replying to Tiffany.”
Mark raised his hand that was holding the phone high up. There was no way virtual-novel.net would be able to reach it. “Answer my question first.”
Bracing herself, Arianne replied, “I’m not your daughter… What tone do you think you should use?”
“Teach me?” Mark looked at virtual-novel.net with gleaming eyes.
Arianne felt as though doing that was akin to going on a suicide mission. She punched his chest softly and said, “Let’s sleep.”
Lo and behold, Mark suddenly swooped down to kiss Arianne’s forehead. “You don’t even know how to act cute. Are you even a woman?” After that, virtual-novel.net returned the phone to virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net adjusted himself into a comfortable position.
Arianne’s heart was racing so fast that virtual-novel.net felt as though it was going leaped out of virtual-novel.net chest. She hastily replied to Tiffany, switched virtual-novel.net phone off, and went to sleep.
Mark’s temperamental attitude toward virtual-novel.net put virtual-novel.net on edge. She could hardly compose herself and found it hard to adapt to his fluctuating moods. Although they had more interactions now, virtual-novel.net still felt nervous most of the time. It was as though virtual-novel.net had returned to virtual-novel.net childhood when virtual-novel.net had lived by keeping an eye on his ever-changing mood.
Early in the morning the next day, Arianne applied light makeup on virtual-novel.net face before virtual-novel.net packed virtual-novel.net things. She headed downstairs excitedly.
Mary was glad to see Arianne in a happy mood. “Madam, you’re prepared to go back to work? This is how youngsters should look like. You look amazing with just a little effort.”
“Mama Mary…” Arianne was bashful from the compliment.
Mark called out to virtual-novel.net from the dining room. “Eat up. Come with me later. I’ll send you there. Hail a cab if you’re late.”
Arianne carried Rice Ball that had walked up to her. She ruffled its fur before reluctantly eating virtual-novel.net breakfast. She was startled when virtual-novel.net saw Nina had woken up early as well.
Nina lost virtual-novel.net appetite when virtual-novel.net saw how high-spirited Arianne was. The latter looked sickly before this without much color on virtual-novel.net face. Although virtual-novel.net was pretty, virtual-novel.net visual was nowhere near as stunning as Arianne. Now that Arianne had dressed up, virtual-novel.net thought it was no wonder Mark had fallen for Arianne.
Contrary to the thoughts in virtual-novel.net mind, Nina asked lightly, “Arianne, where are you working?”
“Fashion design at Eric’s company.” Arianne did not look like virtual-novel.net minded. After all, the other party was being friendly. She could not possibly ignore her.
“You look sickly before this, and I didn’t dare to bring you out to have fun. Let’s hang out when you get off work. Perhaps, we can go shopping and have dinner? I don’t have many friends here since I’ve just returned. Being alone is too boring,” Nina said.
“Sure,” Arianne said and swiftly finished virtual-novel.net breakfast before turning to look at Mark. “I’m done.”
Mark looked at his barely-touched breakfast and shifted his gaze to Arianne’s small mouth, unable to fathom how virtual-novel.net had eaten so fast. He could only hasten his speed.
