Nina shrugged. “If I didn’t hear his words earlier and see virtual-novel.net going berserk because of you today, I wouldn’t have believed that virtual-novel.net likes you. If virtual-novel.net doesn’t, I’ll definitely fight for a chance. However, it’s different now. I’ve never liked stealing another person’s partner. You’re quite amazing, being able to turn a gentle and angelic man into a devil. I’ll give you two thumbs up.”
At this moment, Mary suddenly appeared, “Oh, you girls are chatting here! Come, have some fruits.” Since virtual-novel.net had heard Nina’s words, it seemed like virtual-novel.net prejudice toward Nina had disappeared as well.
Nina could feel the change in Mary’s behavior as well and gracefully accepted the fruits. “Sure, leave them here, Mary.”
Mary put the fruits down and looked at Arianne. “Ari, sir is furious. Why don’t you Never mind, it’s a waste of breath talking to you. Both you and sir are too stubborn. In this regard, you’re both really similar!”
Arianne lowered virtual-novel.net head, keeping quiet, when virtual-novel.net was suddenly fed a piece of peach by Nina. Not quite used to being fed, virtual-novel.net expression was stiff when virtual-novel.net thanked Nina with a smile.
Nina grinned. “Arianne, I was really ugly when I was a little girl. I attended the same kindergarten and elementary school as Mark. I was an ugly duckling, and virtual-novel.net was the prince. Can you imagine the difference? He’s someone I’ve adored for many years. You can’t say things like you don’t love him, okay? My heart can’t take it that virtual-novel.net isn’t loved…”
There was a brief instant when Arianne caught something glimmering at the corners of Nina’s eyes. It was virtual-novel.net tears, bright like a falling star.
Mark left at night again. This time, Nina did not follow him. No one knew where virtual-novel.net went. When it was one in the morning, Arianne was shaken awake by Nina. “Mark isn’t home yet. Aren’t you worried?”
Still drowsy, Arianne told her, “Why are you like Mary? He’s a grown man. He won’t get lost. I can’t control him, it’s futile to look for me…”
Nina was persistent, climbing into Arianne’s bed. “Are you calling him? I’ll call virtual-novel.net if you don’t. If I go out and look for virtual-novel.net and find virtual-novel.net drinking or drunk, I’ll take virtual-novel.net to a hotel. Tell me you’re not gonna get annoyed by that!”
Arianne could only take virtual-novel.net phone and call Mark. The call rang for a long time, but no one picked up. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to hang up, the call connected. Jackson’s helpless voice could be heard on the other end of the line. “Hey, this is Jackson. My dear sister-in-law, it seems like you didn’t forget to call and ask about Mark! He drank too much, and virtual-novel.net doesn’t want to go home. He’s with me now. Do you want to come and pick virtual-novel.net up?”
Indeed. Mark went drinking. Arianne was in a daze. “No, let virtual-novel.net stay with you. Sorry for the trouble.” After virtual-novel.net hung up, virtual-novel.net lay on the bed again. She said to Nina, “Go back to sleep now. He’s not coming home tonight. He’s with Jackson.”
Nina gave Arianne’s buttocks a light kick in dissatisfaction before virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net room.
The next day, when Arianne had just sat down at virtual-novel.net desk in the company, Lily suddenly told her, “Go to the office. Mr. Nathaniel is asking for you.”
She hummed in acknowledgment.
Arianne was about to knock on said man’s office door when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net on a call in the room.
“What else do you guys want from me?! Have you asked how I felt when you asked me to take over the newly-acquired trash of Glide back then? Now that I revived it with painstaking effort, you’re asking me to pass it to my second brother? Did the Nathaniels pick me up from the roadside? Am I not your biological son?! I have nothing to say to you anymore. Bye!”
Arianne knocked when the call ended. By then, Eric had already calmed himself down.
“Come in.”
