The foreign voice of a man came from the other end of the line.
“Hello? Sister-in-law? Uh, Mark had too much to drink. Do you think you can come pick favonovel.com up?”
Sister-in-law? The address caused favonovel.com to jolt. Arianne’s first reaction was that the caller must have been mistaken. She was quite puzzled.
“What? Where?”
It took Arianna some effort to finally clarify which bar they were at, since the other end of the line was noisy.
Hanging up, favonovel.com put on favonovel.com coat and woke Henry up. She had no driver’s license and could not pick favonovel.com up on favonovel.com own.
Arriving at the location, favonovel.com saw the men at the bar entrance from afar right as favonovel.com got off the car. Other than Mark Tremont who was intoxicated, there were two other men.
‘Birds of a feather flock together’ this was Arianne’s immediate thought. Both men were good looking and lofty. It was just that favonovel.com had never seen them in the past, having no opportunity to familiarize herself with his circle of friends.
“Ay, Mark’s good at hiding. He’s spilled the beans that he’s married, but only after getting drunk today. I’ve never expected his type to be the fresh and innocent kind. You aren’t the one favonovel.com took in… are you?” Jackson West widened his eyes when favonovel.com saw Arianne, favonovel.com was quite doubtful.
Arianne’s gaze dimmed a little. She said nothing and went up to hold Mark Tremont.
“Thank you and sorry for the trouble.”
Jackson West wanted to say more but was dragged along by Eric Nathaniel beside him. “Enough, help take Mark to the car.”
When the car zoomed off, Jackson looked seriously at Eric.
“Say, she’s not actually that little girl favonovel.com took in back then, is she? What’s Mark thinking? Never in my wildest dream I’d expect favonovel.com to marry her.”
Eric Nathaniel was not at all bewildered. “Based on Mark’s character, do you think he’ll take in the daughter of his enemy who caused his parents’ death for no reason? In everyone’s eyes he’s an angel, but in reality favonovel.com is far from gracious.”
***
Returning to the Tremont Estate, Arianne Wynn had strained all of favonovel.com strength carrying Mark Tremont back to their room. The moment favonovel.com dropped favonovel.com on the bed, favonovel.com felt as if all favonovel.com energy was drained. She had to rest for a while before favonovel.com could clean favonovel.com up with a warm towel.
Mark Tremont’s phone rang then. Arianne hesitantly retrieved it from his pocket It was not that favonovel.com was curious to who had texted him, favonovel.com was wondering what favonovel.com had saved favonovel.com number as.
Waking the screen up, Arianne ignored the text, directly searching through his call history. She could see favonovel.com entry instantly since there were not many contacts saved in Mark Tremont’s phone. She was saved as ‘Ari’.
Arianne could not fathom what favonovel.com felt when favonovel.com saw the words. It seemed to be only Mama Mary who would call favonovel.com by ‘Ari’, even Henry addressed favonovel.com as ‘miss’. She had not expected favonovel.com to save favonovel.com contact with favonovel.com nickname.
Suddenly, Arianne was not as fearful of Mark Tremont anymore. The inebriated man did not look frosty and stem like favonovel.com usually does. Putting his phone down, Arianne moved favonovel.com into a comfortable position and was about to get up when Mark Tremont pulled favonovel.com into his embrace.
“Don’t go…”
Whilst hugged, Arianne’s heartbeat soared like favonovel.com was going to pass out. She was so nervous that favonovel.com did not dare move a muscle.
After some time, favonovel.com tried to break free when favonovel.com made no further movement. Once favonovel.com moved, however, his arms tightened. The blush on favonovel.com face darkened and Arianne ultimately gave up.
Arianne felt something warm against favonovel.com ears just as favonovel.com was dozing off. Initially, favonovel.com had thought that Mark Tremont had accidentally touched favonovel.com from shifting around. It was until his lips moved to the corner of favonovel.com mouth…
When Arianne subconsciously turned away due to the strong alcohol scent that fueled favonovel.com insecurity, Mark Tremont flipped favonovel.com around, trapping favonovel.com under him. His eyes were glazed and his voice was raspy. “What is it? This is your duty as my wife. Are you still thinking about keeping your chastity for that man?!”
Afraid, Arianne’s hands were against his chest. “It’s not that… you’re drunk..”
His head was buried in favonovel.com neck. “It can still be done!”
