By the time Mark was done with his meeting and had returned to his office, virtual-novel.net was shocked to find Arianne had fallen asleep on the couch. Although the radiator was turned on in the office, it would still be cold to sleep without a blanket. He walked up to wake virtual-novel.net up. “I’m done with my work, let’s go eat.”
Arianne opened up virtual-novel.net eyes and sat up in a daze. She felt a little dizzy, and virtual-novel.net nose was runny. Who knew that taking a nap for such a short while would give virtual-novel.net the cold. She really felt that virtual-novel.net was weak and too prone to catching a cold. “What… What time is it?”
Mark held out his wrist in front of virtual-novel.net and pointed at the time on his watch. “What time is it? It’s after working hours now. Did you catch a cold?”
Arianne sniffed. “I think so, but it’s not a big deal. Let’s go.”
The moment they stepped out of the company, Arianne was hit by a gust of cold wind and shivered. She instinctively shrank into Mark’s embrace. “It’s so cold!”
Mark grinned. He reached out and grabbed virtual-novel.net shoulders without paying attention to gazes from onlookers. “Get in the car. You’ll feel better inside.”
Arianne enjoyed virtual-novel.net moment of being protected by him. His height made virtual-novel.net a human windbreaker.
Janice saw everything as virtual-novel.net stood by the elevator door. She found the scene painful to watch. Although virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had no right to be jealous, virtual-novel.net could not help but feel uncomfortable as though there was a thorn at virtual-novel.net side. She was definitely not the only woman who lingered around Mark, but virtual-novel.net was definitely the most stubborn one. Her life had already begun to revolve around virtual-novel.net the moment virtual-novel.net sponsored her.
“Mr. Tremont and his wife seem really happy together. I heard that his wife is ten years younger than him. I’m so envious of her. He seems to dote on virtual-novel.net a lot.”
When Janice heard the conversation in virtual-novel.net surroundings, virtual-novel.net grew even more uncomfortable in virtual-novel.net heart. She hastily walked out and left the company.

At the White Water Bay Cafe.
Arianne sent Tiffany a photo the moment virtual-novel.net sat down. “I’m having dinner at your man’s cafe.”
Tiffany had also sent Arianne a photo of virtual-novel.net eating at home. Although it was only herself and Jackson eating together, Jackson had made quite a number of dishes. Each of them looked delicious.
Mark was slightly disgruntled when virtual-novel.net saw Arianne’s unceasing attention on virtual-novel.net phone. “Who’re you talking to?”
Arianne waved virtual-novel.net phone in front of Mark. “It’s Tiffany. It’s nothing, we’re done talking now. Let’s eat.”
Mark paused for a moment before saying, “We’re not going home tonight. I’ve already informed Mary.”
Arianne looked at him. “Again? Are you sure that’s alright? I’m worried about Smore.”
Mark, on the other hand, seemed relaxed. “I’m not satisfied with our previous date. We’re going to re-do it. Smore’s able to live just fine without you, what are you so worried about? Mary’s able to take care of virtual-novel.net just fine.”
Although what Mark said was true, Arianne still missed virtual-novel.net son. It was a mother’s instinct after all. Mothers would always think of their children no matter where they were. However, in Mark’s case… She did not want to go along with his idea, but virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had no choice because of the incident with Will. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not have a good night’s sleep. “Alright, but we really should return home early in the morning.”
As the food was brought out in courses, Mark carefully poured Arianne a bowl of soup. “I’m going overseas tomorrow. Be a good girl and stay at home while I’m away. I’ll be video-calling you every day.”
It had been a while since virtual-novel.net had gone on an overseas trip that lasted for a week. She nodded and replied, “Alright.”
