Arianne was greatly moved, yet felt something amiss. This didn’t seem like something Mark, a block of ice personified, would say. She let go of his hand. “Eyes on the road. I know that Jackson taught you those words.”
The corners of Mark’s eyes twitched. She saw through that? Was it that obvious? However… these words came from his heart too. Jackson had taught virtual-novel.net the right tactics.
Arianne settled Aristotle when they returned to the Tremont Estate. Then, virtual-novel.net massaged virtual-novel.net arms, which had grown sore after carrying Aristotle for too long and said, “You can use the shower first. I need a short break It’s pretty exhausting to go out with a kid.”
Mark gazed at Aristotle, who was sleeping to his heart’s content, and huskily suggested, “Let’s shower together. It saves time. It’s already so late, by the time I’m done with the shower and you go in, you won’t be able to wake up the next morning.”
A few PG-13 scenes flashed across Arianne’s mind in an instant. “No no no, you can shower on your own. I’ve been holding Smore for a long time in the car. My arms are tired. I’m going to take a break.”
He pulled virtual-novel.net towards him, lowered his head, and touched virtual-novel.net forehead against his. His eyes sparkled. “If you’re tired, I can wash you. It’s not like I haven’t seen you. Why should you feel embarrassed?”
The look in his eyes made virtual-novel.net knees turn into jelly. “I’m not embarrassed… I’m just not used to showering with someone else.”
He mercilessly saw right through her. “You used to shower with Tiffany when you stayed with her. Why won’t you do it with me?”
Arianne was stunned. How did virtual-novel.net know about that too? She panicked. “Did you install some sort of listening device on me?”
Mark reached out and lifted virtual-novel.net chin with a half smile on virtual-novel.net face. “Who do you think I am? It’s not like I can’t find out these things through other sources. What makes you think I’d resort to such measures? You’ve misunderstood me. As compensation, you have to take a shower with me.”
He carried virtual-novel.net into the bathroom before virtual-novel.net could react. This time, virtual-novel.net couldn’t be bothered to put on an act. He immediately showed his true colors. He didn’t even turn on the water. Her breathing turned into urgent gasps as virtual-novel.net stared at his handsome face, inches away. She was suddenly reminded of Tiffany’s words: ‘Sex is an essential glue that holds a husband and wife together’.
That was undeniable…

Soon, the day arrived when Tiffany made a full recovery. She happily took a shower and excitedly put on makeup, virtual-novel.net hands shaking. She invited Arianne for a shopping trip and a delicious lunch. She had been dreaming of this for a month, as if virtual-novel.net had just completed a prison sentence.
Having endured for an entire month, virtual-novel.net had been waiting for this day. Summer wanted virtual-novel.net to get some fresh air too, so virtual-novel.net volunteered to take care of the baby. Jackson would officially go back to work that day. This was probably a form of release for virtual-novel.net too. After all, facilitating Tiffany’s recovery period was both tiring and not a lot of fun.
