How could Mark possibly bring himself to believe virtual-novel.net words? Mark only wanted to fill up the void of insecurity that was quickly enveloping him.
After a long while, the storm finally stopped.
Arianne put on virtual-novel.net nightgown and tidied up virtual-novel.net closet. She easily found the beige coat that virtual-novel.net had spent a long time trying to find just before. It was hard for an agitated person to stay focused, something that was obviously so close to virtual-novel.net had suddenly seemed to disappear from virtual-novel.net sights.
She held up virtual-novel.net coat and threw it at Mark. “I told you that I was just trying to find my coat. There you go, do you see it?”
Mark laid sideways in bed and lazily glanced at the coat. “Did you have to take so long just to find a coat? Did you have to rummage around so much? It was just in plain sight, who’re you trying to bluff? I admit that I was in a bad mood yesterday, as too much has happened recently and it’s really hard for me to keep a straight face as though nothing has happened. I’m sorry.”
Arianne sighed. “Come on, get up and let me clear up all of this away. I’ll accompany you in your search, so stop lying in bed already. You’ve already filed a police report and your men are already tirelessly searching for her. Aunt Shelly truly knows how to hide herself. Didn’t you say she’s unfamiliar with the local area? The capital has gone through so many changes over the past years, and I’m sure virtual-novel.net would find it strange to maneuver around, despite growing up in the capital for so many years. Where could virtual-novel.net have gone to? She hasn’t got any money with her, nor does virtual-novel.net have any identification with her. The weather is so cold now that it’s hard not for others to be worried about her.”
Mark stared at virtual-novel.net for a few seconds. “Are you really willing to accompany me and look for her?”
Arianne frowned as virtual-novel.net glared at him. “What do you mean? I dislike your aunt as much as virtual-novel.net dislikes me. She’s too stubborn to even listen to anything that others say. Plus, she’s deeply delusional about me being out to harm you. I don’t think I can ever live on good terms with her, but… she’s still your aunt, at the end of the day. I don’t wish for something bad to happen to virtual-novel.net because I don’t want to see you sad.”
Mark’s lips curled into a smile as virtual-novel.net reached out his hand towards her. Arianne approached virtual-novel.net whilst kneeling on the bed. He kissed virtual-novel.net on the forehead as virtual-novel.net got closer. “Thank you, thank you for enduring so much for me and being so generous.”
Arianne blushed at Mark’s words. “Enough, you. Weren’t you desperately looking for your Aunt Shelly? Hurry up and get up now.”
The couple tidied themselves and brought Smore along with them before they headed out, driving around the area as they searched around. They drove around through every nook and cranny within the capital, as long as the road could fit their car. Although it was a very silly method for them to use to search for a missing person, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would not miss it. What if Shelly suddenly appeared in a corner somewhere?
Smore laid against the window and watched as different sceneries passed by him. A child’s curiosity was easily piqued when they had yet to experience many things.
Suddenly, Smore pointed at a car that was parked by the roadside and said to Arianne, “Mama, car car nice. Papa buy!”
Arianne looked towards the direction Smore pointed. It seemed that both father and child loved the same things, Mark used to love cars in the past as well. Smore spotted a Lamborghini supercar, which was the same model as the one Shelly had, except that the color was different. The one Smore spotted was red.
Mark was in a good mood, which was rare, as virtual-novel.net turned to look at Smore. “Alright, Papa will buy it for you. I’ll buy it for you when it’s your birthday, which is just a few months away. It won’t be long now, so wait for it.”
