After getting over virtual-novel.net shock, Mary smiled knowingly, “Yes, yes yes. Mr. Tremont cooking supper for you is nothing compared to what you’ve endured. Now, he’s acting more like a man. By the way, Mr. Tremont has asked you to avoid walking around the garden today, as it might snow. He’s afraid that you might get sick It’s best to avoid getting sick during pregnancy, especially when it’s not advisable to consume medicine.”
“Now that Mr. Tremont has you and the little one in your belly, your family is complete. We’ve been hoping for this day.”
Arianne remained quiet as virtual-novel.net stared at the joy on Mary’s face. She was afraid of speaking up and dashing Mary’s hopes. Everything between virtual-novel.net and Mark only seemed fine on the surface. To draw a comparison, the distance between them was as vast as the Great Rift Valley. Even if it were restored, would anything really be the same? How could there not be a gap?
Tabitha got up surprisingly early today. Usually, virtual-novel.net would sleep until ten in the morning in this weather. The old woman seemed to be in a good mood, but virtual-novel.net cough had not subsided, “Arianne, I’d like to go to your aunt’s house.”
Arianne was surprised, “Are you sure you want to go, granny?” She had chased virtual-novel.net away before, and now, virtual-novel.net was seeking virtual-novel.net out. She was puzzled.
The old woman straightened out virtual-novel.net dark brown woolen sweater and curled virtual-novel.net lips, “She’s called me more than ten times and sent me countless messages. It’s driving me crazy. I’m going back to see her… I probably won’t be coming back I’m not virtual-novel.net real mother, I did not bring virtual-novel.net into this world, but I gave virtual-novel.net a second chance at life, a life much better than most. She’s never repaid me for raising virtual-novel.net after all these years, but only ever making demands. It’s not asking too much for virtual-novel.net to take care of me until the end of my days. I’ve never raised you a day in your life, nor have I ever even held you. You’re not obligated to take care of me.”
Arianne knew that the matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Zoey was very firm when virtual-novel.net dumped the old lady on virtual-novel.net and left. Now, virtual-novel.net was trying every possible means to coax virtual-novel.net into going back. She must have something up virtual-novel.net sleeve.
She wasn’t in the best state to argue with Zoey, “Granny, I don’t think you should go. Even if virtual-novel.net conscience is compelling virtual-novel.net to take you and continue looking after you, you should consider the Tremonts’ dignity. If virtual-novel.net realizes that she’ll never be able to receive any benefits from you through me, virtual-novel.net won’t leave the matter alone. I think you should wait until I’ve given birth. What do you think?”
The old woman acted as if virtual-novel.net had already anticipated this, “Hmph… She shouldn’t try to profit from you. It’s the same with me, I’ve never had a day of peace ever since I’ve moved here. Since I’ve decided to leave, it will cut off virtual-novel.net hopes of establishing a connection with you. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net won’t leave me alone either. I’m old. I can’t put up with this torment.”
The old woman had always been very stubborn. Now that virtual-novel.net had made up virtual-novel.net mind, any advice from Arianne would be futile. She could tell that the old woman was doing it for her, “Alright, I can see that you’ve already made up your mind. Her house is pretty far away. Have you bought your plane tickets? I’ll send you to the airport. I’ll be in the car the entire way, so it’s fine. I can send you off. Also, you shouldn’t feel troubled about staying here, you should have a peace of mind. If you ever want to come back, you’re always welcome.”
Her words did not bring an amiable presence from the old lady. Her mouth was just as sharp as ever, “Actually, there’s nothing really good about this place, aside from the large compound. There’s no one to talk to, I can’t seem to adapt. I don’t want to stay here. Zoey and virtual-novel.net husband are here in the capital. They’ve rented a place and plan on staying here to do business. Their initial business did not take off. Have someone drive me over there. You shouldn’t follow me, since it’s not like we’re that close.”
Mary couldn’t help but butt in, “Mrs. Wynn, you’re not a bad person, you’re pretty nice to Mrs. Tremont. Why must you use such harsh words?”
Arianne didn’t mind. She smiled and said, “It’s alright. I’ve gotten used to it. I’m still going to send you off. Mary, have Henry prepare a car.”
The old woman brought luggage bags before virtual-novel.net left. Arianne knew that virtual-novel.net had no intentions of coming back. She did not point it out and silently got into the car.
Suddenly, Tabitha’s mood changed along the way. She began chattering endlessly, “Arianne, the Tremonts are highly affluent. You’re very lucky to have been able to join the family. Thank goodness Mark loves you. It’s not easy for a woman to meet a man who would give his heart to you. Leave the past in the past. Regardless of the truth, humans should keep moving forward, instead of remaining stuck in the past. Deliver the baby safely and live happily ever after with your family of three. Mark is much better than most men. He would never be unkind to you.”
