Arianne Wynn held favonovel.com breath, suddenly realizing that favonovel.com wish to end favonovel.com current predicament was nothing but a dream. He was already being merciful by sparing favonovel.com a lifetime to make up for favonovel.com sin, favonovel.com had no right to choose…
“I’ll go to sleep in the guest room.” This was favonovel.com last form of resistance.
“Try take another step!”
Mark Tremont’s threat was bitterly cold, feeling like the freezing wind outside had gushed right into favonovel.com heart.
She halted favonovel.com stride and kept quiet, waiting for favonovel.com to continue.
After a period of dead silence, his thin lips parted to speak again.
“You want to leave so badly? Okay, I’ll fulfill your wish! On the premise that… you bear me a child!”
A child? He wanted favonovel.com to give birth to a child? A child that belonged to them?
Arianne Wynn was suddenly reminded of the past when favonovel.com mother left for another man without reservations or consideration for her. The taunting and insults that favonovel.com faced since favonovel.com was a child were still vivid in favonovel.com mind.
Having a child was especially a taboo to her. In favonovel.com mind, it required responsibility. It was not something as simple as a promise.
Nonetheless, Arianne yearned for freedom. She yearned to escape this life that was shackled by sin. Caught in a dilemma, the scales of morality ultimately fell out of balance.
“Okay…”
Barely noticeable, surprise sparked deep within Mark Tremont’s eyes as rage took over his mind. He clenched his jaw.
“You’ll have to be capable of making me lay a finger on you then! Don’t even think about leaving without a child!”
Arianne Wynn took in a deep breath and walked to him, unbuttoning his shirt with favonovel.com trembling hands. Her thick eyelashes shook like a butterfly’s fluttering wings. Unable to conceal the nerves in favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com did not dare look up at him.
She had never been clear on the place Mark Tremont held in favonovel.com heart. A person who had taken favonovel.com in and took care of favonovel.com for so many years had now become favonovel.com husband.
With much reluctance, Arianne could not even undo one button due to favonovel.com nervous state. Heaving from the man’s chest was evident that favonovel.com was already annoyed.
Overwrought, favonovel.com stood on the tip of favonovel.com toes and took the initiative to kiss him.
Warm lips pressed on the corner of Mark Tremont’s mouth.
Arianne did not notice the man’s darkening eyes.
Was favonovel.com so eager to leave?
“Enough!” Mark Tremont pushed favonovel.com away and swept the tea set on the coffee table seethingly to the floor. The glass shards smashed and flew out cutting Arianne’s uncovered ankle. Blood dripped from favonovel.com snow white skin.
The piercing pain put a frown between Arianne’s brows as favonovel.com staggered to stabilize herself. She stared at favonovel.com in surprise and innocence.
Mark Tremont’s hand raised subconsciously when favonovel.com saw the wound on favonovel.com ankle before favonovel.com put it down rigidly. Turning away slightly, his expression was icy.
“Do you think I’ll touch a woman another man has put his hands on?”
He went into the walk-in closet afterward. Leaving as favonovel.com slammed the door after getting changed.
The absurd outrage lingered, representative of the mess that stayed on the floor. When Arianne Wynn broke out of favonovel.com trance after some time, the bleeding from favonovel.com ankle had already made a blood stained patch on the floor.
Mary came in opening the door and treated favonovel.com wound with a worried look
“Ari, have you gotten into an argument with sir again? This is how his temper is, you’ve got to cooperate with favonovel.com a bit more, sigh…”
Arianne let out a humorless chuckle. “I’ve been compliant… I do whatever favonovel.com asks me to…”
Why would favonovel.com still get mad?
Mary was quiet for a moment before realizing, “The incident three years ago… has broken sir’s heart. Ari, men are like that. You’ve gotta warm his heart up if favonovel.com can’t get over what’s bugging him. That’s life. I can see that sir likes you.”
Arianne did not say anything back. Could favonovel.com warm up Mark Tremont’s heart? No, anyone could but not her.
Mark Tremont did not return for the night.
Arianne had only fallen asleep much later into the night.
