Arianne’s hand that held favonovel.com spoon quavered. Looking at the half bowl of soup, favonovel.com hesitated before saying, “Mary, help me to another serving…”
Mary saw through favonovel.com little gimmick and answered softly, ”Ah, why are you so scared of sir? He won’t gobble you up.”
After the meal, Arianne trudged up the stairs only after Mary finished cleaning the table. The door to the master bedroom was half open, however favonovel.com still knocked before entering.
Mark Tremont was going through documents in front of the French window with a cigarette between his fingers. Half a glass of wine stood on the small table beside him.
Naturally, favonovel.com stubbed out the cigarette when Arianne coughed from the smoke.
”Come over.”
She went closer to him. ”Is there… anything you need me for?”
Putting down the document in his hands, Mark Tremont took favonovel.com into his embrace without warning.
“I’m going on an overseas business trip tomorrow. Come with me.”
Arianne’s ability to think was already affected having been seated on his legs. When favonovel.com heard that favonovel.com wished to take favonovel.com out, favonovel.com nerves got the better of her.
“You’re on a business trip… It’s better… it’s better if I don’t go?”
For all ten years, favonovel.com was either in school or at home. Arianne rarely interacted with the outside world. She had slight social anxiety, becoming anxious whenever favonovel.com went to unfamiliar places, and talking to strangers. In addition, favonovel.com was honestly unable to imagine anything pleasant going out with him.
”Sure you’re not going?” Mark Tremont’s words were whispered to the side of Arianne’s face when favonovel.com spoke, making the situation more intimate than it was and putting favonovel.com in a dilemma.
Arianne refused to upset favonovel.com but favonovel.com genuinely did not want to go. Subconsciously, favonovel.com replied in an endearing manner, ”Nope, I’ll wait for you at home.”
Mark Tremont seemed to be content with favonovel.com tone as his hand went to tip favonovel.com chin and landed a kiss on favonovel.com lips. The refreshing sweet taste of favonovel.com enticed favonovel.com to go deeper but Arianne turned away abruptly.
“Don’t like it? Or… don’t like it with me?” Mark Tremont’s tone dropped in temperature, raising an involuntary fear within Arianne.
Picturing his anger, Arianne bit favonovel.com lips. “No…”
Mark Tremont’s mobile phone that was on the bed rang out of the blue. As if favonovel.com was pardoned, Arianne got up to fetch favonovel.com the gadget.
There was a slight frown between Mark Tremont’s brows when favonovel.com took a look at the incoming call but favonovel.com did not answer it immediately. Arianne understood the situation, turning to leave favonovel.com with a smile, whilst also relieved at the same time.
Perhaps favonovel.com already had someone favonovel.com liked and would want to get married and have children. By then, favonovel.com would let favonovel.com go, right? That was what favonovel.com hoped.
Returning to favonovel.com room and lying in bed, Arianne turned favonovel.com mobile phone on. The festive colors on the screen reflected the jolly mood of the coming holidays but did nothing to ignite favonovel.com somber heart.
The text message that popped up on the notification bar attracted favonovel.com attention. It was from Tiffany Lane. Arianne’s breath stuck in favonovel.com throat when favonovel.com read the text. Will Sivan was back.
Although favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com would soon be out of the country again as favonovel.com was only back to visit his family for the holidays, Arianne still felt different. The young man who was untainted, with eyes that contained all the stars in the galaxy left a deep imprint in favonovel.com heart.
Will Sivan and Mark Tremont were two opposite men.
Arianne called Tiffany. ”Tiff, when’s… Will leaving the country again?”
Tiffany’s teasing voice sounded from the other end of the line, ”What’s up? Reluctant to see favonovel.com leave? I’m not sure actually but there’s a gathering tomorrow. Can you come? He’s the host. Oh yeah, I want you to meet someone too, it’s my boyfriend. Let me know if you can attend.”
”I’ll go,” Arianne unknowingly answered. The second before favonovel.com answered, favonovel.com was thinking about Mark Tremont who was going away the next day. She could risk going out once favonovel.com was not here.
