He hesitated for a short while. He then stretched his arms out and pulled virtual-novel.net into his embrace. “I don’t know how to console people. If you’re sad, just cry.”
Tanya was stunned. Soon, a sob escaped from virtual-novel.net throat gradually. She wanted to hold it back, but virtual-novel.net failed to do so no matter what. “I’m sorry… He’s dead… I’m deeply grieved…”
‘He?’ Jett did not know who virtual-novel.net was referring to. ‘Is it Jackson? That’s impossible. I heard nothing about that. But doesn’t virtual-novel.net like Jackson? Other than Jackson, who could make virtual-novel.net so utterly sad?’
He did not manage to ask virtual-novel.net that at the end. They were put together because of their fates. They could only console and warm each other when it was necessary, but they could not afford to fall in love with each other.

After a few days, another thunderstorm came down on the capital. It seemed like the hot and dry weather before was just something before the thunderstorm. The rain seemed to want to wash away every last piece of dirt of the entire city.
They were almost done dealing with Eric’s funeral. They chose to put his tomb beside Arianne’s grandmother since Tiffany claimed that they could accompany each other. Her grandmother liked to nag, so Eric would not feel so bored after all.
They heard that Mr. Nathaniel had gone to Eric’s tomb alone, but no one cared about that, since they did not have to. They just had to pretend that they knew nothing about it.
Mark seemed to be quite dispirited recently. Arianne did not find faults with virtual-novel.net either. She was just being responsible, and virtual-novel.net took up the roles of a good mother and wife.
However, the sadness that engulfed them did not seem to disappear for a long time. It was just like the heavy clouds in the sky of the capital.
During weekends, Mark went no place else and stayed at home. He would occasionally play with Smore. Other times, virtual-novel.net would just lock himself up in the study. He only left the study during meals. Arianne took up the excuse of sending virtual-novel.net water and snacks just to see what virtual-novel.net was doing. He was lost in a daze. He did nothing else there.
In the evening, the rain became slightly softer, but it did not seem like it was going to stop any time soon. Butler Henry came home and put away the umbrella, putting it near the wall. “Madam, someone’s looking for sir. She said that she’s here to deliver the document for the company. She’s now standing at the door. I didn’t let virtual-novel.net in directly.”
Arianne responded slightly and handed Smore to Mary. She then went to the garden outside and saw through the gate that it was Janice, who held an umbrella. As a woman who was sensitive toward those things, virtual-novel.net started to become vigilant.
One should really be vigilant toward another person when you start to mind virtual-novel.net very existence and virtual-novel.net constantly appears in your life.
She walked toward Janice slowly. “Are you here to deliver the document? Just give it to me then.”
Janice hesitated and said, “I need to wait for Mr. Tremont to sign it and bring it back to the company. I’m still working overtime now.”
Arianne smiled softly. “Are you working overtime on Saturday? It’s indeed hard work.”
Both Janice’s shoes and silk socks were slightly drenched. But virtual-novel.net protected the document well, and it was not stained by even a drop of rain. “No, it’s not hard work. The entire staff of the company is working overtime today. We can take a rest tomorrow. Is Mr. Tremont home? I called virtual-novel.net just now. May I come in?”
