Arianne gave up on struggling. No matter how much virtual-novel.net struggled, Mark would still insist on having his way…
Mark’s movements were as terrifying as the deafening thunder, finally ending amidst virtual-novel.net sobs.
The rain stopped at some point through the night, the sun that rose with the lingering rain droplets the next day feeling very warm. Arianne was scared for the whole night, barely catching any sleep. She made certain that virtual-novel.net baby was fine, but virtual-novel.net still held a grudge against him.
She did not keep quiet while virtual-novel.net washed up. The fatigue and morning sickness sapped all of virtual-novel.net remaining energy, so much so that virtual-novel.net did not have it in virtual-novel.net to bend down and pick up a fallen cup from the floor. She had not been showing any signs of morning sickness before but look at virtual-novel.net now, after Mark came. She thought that virtual-novel.net must have affected her…
Finally, Mark woke up due to Arianne’s clamoring. Looking at the foreign environment, virtual-novel.net lapsed into a momentary daze. Snippets of last night replayed in his mind but no matter how much virtual-novel.net attempted to recall what happened, his memory refused to return in its entirety. Of course, virtual-novel.net could not remember what virtual-novel.net had said.
In his hungover state, headache raging, virtual-novel.net got up to go to the bathroom with a frown. When virtual-novel.net saw Arianne, virtual-novel.net recalled the previous night… He only remembered fragments of it but his body had still reacted…
Not in the habit of wearing the same set of garments for two days, the towel around Mark’s waist became his only clothing. He turned around and told her, “I want to use the toilet.”
Arianne left without a sound while Mark closed the bathroom door in a pique. With one hand against the wall to support himself, virtual-novel.net took off the towel, unable to help cursing in a low tone, “Damn it…”
Why had virtual-novel.net failed to hold himself together and came to her? Brian didn’t even stop him, just leaving virtual-novel.net here!
Exiting the bathroom, virtual-novel.net called Brian. “Send me clothes. Fast.”
Arianne was already dressed and prepared to head out. She had not wanted to talk to him, but virtual-novel.net felt that it was necessary. “I’m off to work. Lock the door when you leave.”
Mark rubbed his throbbing temples. “You didn’t sleep well last night, did you?” After the question, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net was taking the initiative to give in and could not help but harden his tone. “I drank too much last night. I don’t remember what happened. If you didn’t sleep well, don’t go out today. I’ll inform Eric.”
Arianne puffed up virtual-novel.net cheeks, enraged. “Since you don’t remember anything, just assume that nothing happened. I can space out my time for a break in the office, no need to worry about me.” She walked out after that, and as expected, there was breakfast at the door. Not having any appetite, Arianne put it in the hallway’s closet and entered the elevator.
When virtual-novel.net came downstairs, Tiffany didn’t see virtual-novel.net with breakfast and asked, “Your mom didn’t send you any breakfast today?”
Arianne answered glumly, “She did. Mark’s at my place. I have no appetite, so I left it for you.”
It was as if Tiffany had heard earth-shattering news. “What? Mark’s at your place? What’s the situation? Have you guys reconciled? He’s in such a great mood this early in the morning? Or did virtual-novel.net come last night?”
Arianne did not feel like answering, furious whenever virtual-novel.net thought about last night. Furthermore, Mark had told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net did not remember anything first thing in the morning! Anyone would have been infuriated!
Taking in the ominous look, Tiffany did not press further and returned to driving.
Just as they left, Brian arrived. Once virtual-novel.net saw Mark, virtual-novel.net was reprimanded directly. “Have you gone crazy or was it me? Who asked you to send me here!?”
Brian looked wronged. “Sir… You were the one who made such a big fuss about coming…”
Would Mark admit to the dumb things virtual-novel.net did? He would only be obstinate. “Couldn’t you see that I’d drank too much? How could you do what I said when I was drunk? If I’d asked you to kill someone and burn down a house, would you have done it? You’ve worked for me for years and you still don’t know how to act!”
Brian braced himself and said, “People say that what you say when you’re drunk are your thoughts are their most truthful. You must have missed Madam to be fussing about coming here. You don’t know your temper when you’re drunk. If I didn’t do what you said, you would go at it for the whole night.”
Mark honestly had no idea What virtual-novel.net was like when virtual-novel.net was inebriated. It wasn’t like virtual-novel.net didn’t feel guilty. He gave up arguing with Brian and took the clean change of clothing into the bedroom. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net caught a glimpse of white lace on the edge of the bed. The fabric was obviously wretched apart and torn. Connecting it to his foolish act last night, virtual-novel.net changed and left with a long face. Mark felt even more ruffled when virtual-novel.net saw the breakfast in the hallway’s closet.
“Send that woman something to eat, but don’t say that it’s from me.”
Brian hummed his acknowledgement and dropped Mark off at the company before virtual-novel.net went to send food to Arianne. Breakfast, pastries, cakes, virtual-novel.net bought everything that virtual-novel.net could.
When virtual-novel.net placed the items on the front desk of Eric’s company, the girl stationed there was baffled. “Mister… who’s these for?”
Brian panted from the work “For Arianne. I’m leaving, have virtual-novel.net collect them after I’m gone. Say that… Brian sent them.” Mark had told virtual-novel.net not to mention it was him, virtual-novel.net did not say that Brian could not mention his own name.
After Brian left, the girl swallowed virtual-novel.net saliva looking at all the delicacies. Intending to take a little something for herself, virtual-novel.net took the initiative to send the food directly to Arianne’s desk. “Arianne, someone sent you food again. There’s so much, are you sure you can finish it alone?”
