She hit virtual-novel.net lips, keeping quiet. Then, with great difficulty, virtual-novel.net revealed the painful truth, “I… I’m pregnant… Y-you b*stard! You know I can’t have kids. Why do you have to do this to me? Do you know how much pain I’m in? Tiffie is aching to get pregnant… She should be the one going through this. Why me? I hate you!”
She ended the call immediately after wailing and shouting at him. After that, virtual-novel.net rejected all his calls and did not reply to all his messages. She had completely broken down at this moment and needed some quiet time on virtual-novel.net own.
***
Tremont Tower, the CEO’s office.
Mark smashed his phone angrily. His secretary, who was sitting outside, trembled in fear. He knocked on the door tentatively. “Mr. Tremont? Is everything alright?”
The intense and vicious aura around Mark was terrifying at this moment. He narrowed his eyes behind glasses. A mess of complicated emotions could be seen swirling in the depths of his eyes.
It was too late for regrets now. He was not in the best state when virtual-novel.net climbed on top of Arianne that night, completely forgetting about protection. Later, when virtual-novel.net regained his senses, virtual-novel.net did not dwell on it too much since it was just one time. Moreover, virtual-novel.net thought it was unlikely virtual-novel.net would get pregnant. Who knew fate would play a trick on them? Their relationship was already on thin ice, if virtual-novel.net ended losing another baby, virtual-novel.net would never turn back again. He would lose virtual-novel.net completely.
He called Davy into the office once virtual-novel.net had calmed down. “Reschedule my plane tickets. Get me the earliest flight out today. One more thing, get me a new phone.”
Davy was unaware of what had happened. All virtual-novel.net knew was his boss was capable of swallowing virtual-novel.net whole at this moment. He quickly mumbled a reply before rushing out to complete the tasks that were given to him.
This was the first time Mark had ever felt so uncertain. Arianne refused to answer all his calls and reply to his messages. He really wished virtual-novel.net could sprout a pair of wings so virtual-novel.net could fly to virtual-novel.net now. She must be petrified. He wanted to give virtual-novel.net the best, but virtual-novel.net always ended up shooting himself in his foot. He was always hurting her!
By the time virtual-novel.net arrived in Arianne’s city, it was almost six in the evening. This was the earliest flight virtual-novel.net managed to catch. He directly went to virtual-novel.net condominium. When virtual-novel.net knocked on the door, and the door was opened, it revealed a haggard-looking Arianne. The guilt in his heart intensified that virtual-novel.net was rendered speechless.
Arianne did not speak as well. She turned around and lay back down on the couch. She had been curled up on the couch the entire day and had not eaten anything. She was exhausted and depressed. It was as though life had been sucked out of her.
Mark stepped forward. He hesitated for a moment before virtual-novel.net asked, “Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”
She sniffled. She had finally managed to stop crying with great difficulty, but upon hearing virtual-novel.net speak, virtual-novel.net began to weep again. “You still have the appetite to eat? Don’t you feel upset at all? I don’t mind suffering… but… but this child will never be born. Can’t you at least pretend to be upset?”
He inhaled deeply before virtual-novel.net said, “It’s not that I’m not upset… It’s just that… We have a problem to solve now. I’m sure you haven’t eaten at all. Have a meal, and we’ll think of something.” He wanted to tell virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would do everything in his capability to ensure virtual-novel.net could safely deliver the child. However, virtual-novel.net was afraid of giving virtual-novel.net too much hope. Hope was a very cruel thing. The worst thing one could do was snuff out a person’s last ray of hope.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to order takeout, Arianne stopped him, “I don’t want food from a restaurant. I’m not in the mood for that. There are some ingredients in the refrigerator. Just make a bowl of ramen for me. You can make one for yourself while you’re at it. Otherwise, you won’t have anything to eat tonight.”
Make ramen? Mark hesitated momentarily. He put down his phone and walked into the kitchen. When had virtual-novel.net ever cooked? However, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to fulfill virtual-novel.net wish. He would do anything as long as virtual-novel.net could make virtual-novel.net happy.
He stared at the pots and pans in the kitchen and felt as though virtual-novel.net was going to have a meltdown. He was someone who could not even differentiate between sugar and salt, this was not even an exaggeration. He was invincible in regard to business. Who knew virtual-novel.net would feel defeated in a tiny kitchen one day?
After mulling it over for two seconds, virtual-novel.net called Jackson for help. He deliberately closed the kitchen door so Arianne would not hear him. This was absolutely humiliating.
Jackson and Tiffany were on their way to the West residence. His voice sounded sullen on the phone when virtual-novel.net answered the call. “Mark, what is it?”
“How do you cook ramen? ” Mark asked in a hushed tone, “Like, the kind that looks good and tastes delicious…”
Not even in Jackson’s wildest dreams did virtual-novel.net imagine Mark would ask virtual-novel.net for help in regard to this kind of thing. He was in shock. Did Mark take the wrong medication today?
Tiffany who was next to virtual-novel.net simply wanted to watch the world burn. “Is the sun rising from the west from wherever Mark is? Why are you trying to learn how to cook ramen? Don’t your servants know how to cook ramen?”
Mark was already embarrassed by his non-existence cooking skills, virtual-novel.net did not dare to say a word against Tiffany. He could not afford to bicker now.
Jackson returned to his senses and said, “Listen carefully, I’ll teach you the steps. I know that you’ve never cooked in your life. First, fill a pot with water and heat it on the stove. Add a little more water so that the noodles won’t be too starchy later. Once the water is boiled, put the noodles into the pot. It should be cooked in five minutes. Within these five minutes, take a bowl, put salt and all available seasoning into the bowl. Once the noodles are cooked, transfer them into the pot and add the broth.”
