With the addition of Sylvain and fall approaching, the company was busy as it always was during the start of every season. Mark returned home later than usual and worked overtime during the weekends.
Feeling bored, Arianne brought Aristotle along and invited Tiffany on a shopping spree.
Tiffany pushed Plato on the baby stroller as virtual-novel.net complained about Jackson’s lack of intimacy with his child.
“Isn’t it good enough that he’s good to you?” Arianne asked jokingly, “The baby has always been secondary to him. He had no intention of getting married, but you somehow managed to trick virtual-novel.net into marrying you. Can’t you give virtual-novel.net some time to adjust? Plato is his biological son, he’ll learn to like virtual-novel.net sooner or later. Why are you so worried? I used to think that Mark didn’t like Smore as well, but look at virtual-novel.net now, he’s holding Aristotle every day, reluctant to let go.”
Tiffany snorted. “Jackson is different! Every time we visit the baby at his mother’s after work, virtual-novel.net refuses to carry him. He says I can do it. What’s that supposed to mean? Am I the only parent of this baby? He’s nothing compared to Mark, that big block of ice!”
When they arrived at the fashion department, Arianne noticed the design that Sylvain had previously sold to Mark was on the market now. The actual piece was even more exquisite and inspiring than the sketch. It was as though it had a life of its own.
Tiffany followed virtual-novel.net line of sight and smiled. “I’ve heard this is a design by that big-shot fashion designer, Sylvain. Didn’t Mark hire him? Only the Tremonts would have the balls to take on such a huge headache and turn it into a headliner. Any other company would be finished.”
Arianne smiled confidently. “Nothing goes bad in Mark’s hands.”
Tiffany clicked virtual-novel.net tongue. “Oh, showing off now, are we? Your man is awesome, your man is the best. I remember someone who’d get a headache at the very sight of Mark and ran away to open up a dessert shop just to avoid him. Who was that? Luckily, you had Smore. Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t be together now. You’d probably torture Mark even into his ripe old age until virtual-novel.net can’t move anymore and give up on you. How unfortunate that you can’t escape from eating your words. You used to run away, but nowI don’t think you will even if you’re asked to.”
Only a best friend would have the guts to say such frank words without any reservations.
Arianne was indignant, but virtual-novel.net did not vocalize it. “That’s enough, stop bringing up the past. My makeup is almost finished. I need to get some.”
When Arianne arrived at the sales counter, virtual-novel.net paused in virtual-novel.net tracks. Now, virtual-novel.net was really having a headache. She did not expect to see Alejandro here. Jett was here as well. It seemed like Alejandro still needed a special cane to move around. His left leg seemed to have sustained a more serious injury since virtual-novel.net held the cane on his left. However, virtual-novel.net looked no different from a normal person when virtual-novel.net stood still.
Tiffany, on the other hand, stepped forward and greeted virtual-novel.net as though nothing was wrong. “What a coincidence! Are you shopping for Melanie? What cosmetic brands does virtual-novel.net like?”
Alejandro glanced at Arianne. He forced a smile on his face as virtual-novel.net said, “The same ones you like, I think. She told me. You’ve been secretly communicating, haven’t you?”
“That’s right,” Tiffany replied with a smile. “I heard that virtual-novel.net has returned to Ayashe. She’s pregnant, why isn’t virtual-novel.net with you?”
Alejandro answered without skipping a beat, “She’s not used to this place. She grew up in Ayashe, after all. She should be as comfortable as possible during virtual-novel.net pregnancy. It doesn’t matter as long as she’s happy.”
The sight of the pair happily chatting away was an eyesore to Arianne. Damned Ethan, using Alejandro’s identity to weasel his way back into Tiffany’s life. Tiffany was even stupid enough to see treat virtual-novel.net like a friend. How long more did virtual-novel.net plan on torturing Tiffany before virtual-novel.net would be satisfied?
