Mark stared at virtual-novel.net with a half smile on his face. “Would you like me to take a vaccine too?”
The corners of virtual-novel.net lips twitched. “Are you really going to treat me like a cat? You’re the one that scared me first! Who told you to drink and fly into a drunken rage?”
He looked completely innocent. “When did I go into a drunken rage? I was showing my displeasure. I’ve mentioned it to you before, but you didn’t care about the problem! How could I possibly get drunk with that amount of alcohol? I’ve already mentioned your constant neglect towards me, more than once.”
Arianne was immediately rendered speechless. It’s true, virtual-novel.net had mentioned it, but virtual-novel.net didn’t really pay much attention to it. He had always held a lofty and resolute presence in virtual-novel.net eyes. He was loathed to receive anyone’s consoling and also loathed receiving value. He clearly looked down on everyone from the top of the world, but virtual-novel.net actually needed virtual-novel.net attention?
She sighed. “Fine, I won’t do it again. I never thought that you were that kind of a person.”
His sensitive nerves were pricked. “What kind of a person? What kind of a person am I? Why does it sound like you’re scolding me?”
She giggled. “What are you thinking? What I mean is that you’ve always been lofty and beyond compare since I was eight. You were lonely and resolute. You didn’t need anyone and didn’t care about what anyone thought. Receiving anyone’s pity was beneath you, so you really didn’t need my concern. What made you suddenly think that I was neglecting you? It’s just unexpected…”
Mark stared at her. His gaze softened. “I’ve only ever hoped for your attention.”
Arianne’s heart skipped a beat. She widened virtual-novel.net eyes in mild shock. Her long lashes trembled slightly. This answer was too outrageous to her!
He lifted his hand and stroked virtual-novel.net face. “We’ve suffered together from the very beginning, then began relying on each other with our guilt… This world would hold nothing of value to me if you hadn’t appeared. Do you know how it feels to have a glimmer of light appear in total darkness? You are that glimmer of light. The light in my heart.” ‘
She felt as if something just wasn’t perfectly right, as if something was missing somehow. She knew that virtual-novel.net had mentioned this before, that virtual-novel.net was his savior. However, what was missing? She didn’t know. Or perhaps his answer sounded far too romantic and lacked a spark from a normal person.
Furthermore, virtual-novel.net was still keeping something from her. There was still some distance between them.
The next day, Mark collected Tiffany, according to plan. Jackson went to collect the DNA report.
Jackson wasn’t sure of what virtual-novel.net was feeling when virtual-novel.net saw the results. Alejandro and Mark were not related by blood. That also meant that Alejandro wasn’t Ethan. Despite his relief, virtual-novel.net was still apprehensive about Alejandro’s sudden appearance in getting close to Tiffany, especially when Alejandro was willing to give up his life for Tiffany. This made virtual-novel.net very uneasy. Furthermore, there was still what Tanya had said… Three years, Alejandro had loved Tiffany for three years. It seemed far too suspicious.
