Two minutes later, Mark Tremont’s car drove away. Arianne released a breath that favonovel.com was unaware of holding, wondering what favonovel.com was doing when the car was stationary.
“Sir… It’s snowing. Are you really not letting miss in the car? Should we wait a bit more? Or shall I call her?”
The driver, Brian Pearce, was rather worried.
“Busybody…” Mark Tremont looked at the delicate silhouette from the rearview mirror, feeling inexplicably annoyed. He waited for two minutes and had given favonovel.com the chance.
When Arianne arrived at school, Tiffany Lane was baffled by favonovel.com soaked state.
“What do you think you’re doing? Did you cycle here in the snow? Are you crazy? Come on, breakfast is still warm. Eat up quickly!”
Arianne accepted the milk and bun that Tiffany passed favonovel.com with a smile, a dash of red appeared from favonovel.com cracked lips.
Tiffany sucked in a deep breath. “Do your parents not care about you? They don’t worry about your meals or clothes and aren’t concerned about you attending art school. Did they pick you up from the streets?”
“My… mother remarried when I was very young and my father passed away ten years ago. It’s not their fault …” Arianne replied as favonovel.com took off favonovel.com soaked coat and sipped the warm milk The indifferent tone in favonovel.com voice, along with favonovel.com actions was a pang to one’s heart.
Tiffany then fondly rubbed Arianne’s wet hair.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? We’ve known each other since high school and yet, you never told me anything before you finally spoke up today. It’s absurd how your mother could bear abandoning a pretty little girl like you… Who are you living with now then?”
‘Who are you living with?’
Arianne did not answer immediately as favonovel.com thought about how favonovel.com should refer to Mark Tremont. Her elder brother?
“My elder brother.” That was all favonovel.com could say.
Tiffany Lane was quite perplexed.
“Your elder brother? Your biological brother? Even if he’s only your cousin, favonovel.com shouldn’t let you live so pitifully. Have you bought the paint the tutor asked us to buy?”
Arianne shook favonovel.com head. “I won’t be able to buy it for the time being but I’ll think of something.”
Three years ago, favonovel.com was guileless but not gullible. That was favonovel.com first time rejecting Mark Tremont.
His icy tone spread from his lips.
‘One day, you’ll beg me.’ ‘
After that, favonovel.com left the country without a warning and favonovel.com had never asked favonovel.com for another favor or another meal in the Tremont Estate, surviving only by working part-time jobs.
She was unable to fulfill his request nor please him, but there was no need to anymore. .
Looking at Arianne’s frowning face, Tiffany’s heart ached for her. When favonovel.com was about to say something, a warm masculine voice interrupted.
“Tiffany, what’s up with your cutie pie today? Why does favonovel.com look so listless?”
It was Will Sivan who spoke, the other person whom Arianne knew on campus.
There were only so many of the rich and powerful in the capital. Both Tiffany Lane and Will Siyan were among them, though not Arianne Wynn.
“It’s the paint…”
“Tiffany!”
Arianne cut favonovel.com off and discreetly shook favonovel.com head. For some reason, favonovel.com did not want Will to know about favonovel.com plight.
Out of the blue, Will Sivan’s hand touched favonovel.com forehead. “You have a fever.”
“If you fall sick, our Tiffany here is going to nag all day long again.”
It sounded like favonovel.com was complaining, but Will’s hands were already working to take off his scarf to wrap around Arianne’s neck.
She looked up at him, favonovel.com heart beating a little faster. His smile felt like the sunlight that spilled from a blanket of clouds, gentle and natural. Loose hair fell from his forehead, draping down to his starry eyes which looked like they contained all the stars of the universe.
Will Sivan was one of the best looking people Arianne had ever met, only second to Mark Tremont.
When they had met ten years ago, Mark Tremont had taken favonovel.com breath away too.
“Who’s that?” Mark Tremont’s gaze was locked on Arianne Wynn and Will Sivan, who were beside favonovel.com from the corridor outside of the art studio.
