Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt a hand placing itself gently on virtual-novel.net tummy. Her sensitive mental state caused virtual-novel.net to jolt and immediately wake up. She opened virtual-novel.net eyes and was greeted by Mark’s intensive gaze.
Realizing that they were much too close together, virtual-novel.net pushed herself away from him, “What are you doing home so early? It’s not three yet. It’s the end of the year, so shouldn’t it be pretty busy at the office?”
Mark frowned at virtual-novel.net reaction, “You don’t want to see me? I came home because I couldn’t stop thinking about you in the office and bought the books you wanted. It is busy at the office, but staying with you is most important. Did I wake you?”
She was surprised at Mary for tasking virtual-novel.net with buying virtual-novel.net books. She shook virtual-novel.net head, “No… I had enough sleep. I won’t be able to sleep tonight if I sleep any longer. I’m going for a walk. Rest if you’re tired.”
As virtual-novel.net got up, Mark pulled virtual-novel.net back down and plonked virtual-novel.net accurately into his embrace, his arms wrapping firmly around her, “Lie with me for a while… I went to visit Granny on the way back. I know that you want to go too, but you can’t. So I visited virtual-novel.net for you.”
He didn’t tell virtual-novel.net how the old woman was doing, for virtual-novel.net was waiting for virtual-novel.net to ask. He knew that virtual-novel.net would ask. She wouldn’t react if virtual-novel.net said it all at once. He didn’t like it whenever virtual-novel.net was quiet with him.
As expected, Arianne immediately asked, “How is Granny?”
He paused, “Not bad. She was coughing, wasn’t she? Your aunt probably hasn’t taken virtual-novel.net to a doctor since virtual-novel.net moved back, so it’s gotten worse. Granny was alone when I visited. I left in less than a few hours. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with us anymore.”
Arianne listened quietly, but a raging flame burned in virtual-novel.net heart. She would have Tabitha stay by virtual-novel.net side, no matter what, but the old woman couldn’t accept it and was afraid of being a nuisance to her. That’s why virtual-novel.net had insisted on leaving. Now, the old woman was living a difficult life. How could virtual-novel.net not worry?
Mark planted a soothing kiss on virtual-novel.net cheek, “Don’t worry. I’ll do what’s best for granny and try to bring virtual-novel.net home. We’ll take care of virtual-novel.net for the rest of virtual-novel.net life. After all, I don’t have any relatives anymore, and it would be a good idea to have an elderly person around. As for your aunt and uncle, I’m not afraid of trouble. Let me handle it.”
Arianne nodded in his arms, suddenly realizing that having someone to rely on felt pretty good…
Thinking of the day the old woman had left and remembered the things virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt like asking him, “Is there anything I don’t know about that plane crash? You told granny, but why can’t you tell me?”
