Mark was slightly taken aback but then curiously took a small sip. The rich sweetness of the milk tea immediately exploded in his mouth, causing favonovel.com to frown even more. For someone like favonovel.com who didn’t fancy sweets since favonovel.com was a child, this was pure torture.
Arianne suddenly snapped back to favonovel.com senses. What had favonovel.com just done? Why did favonovel.com give favonovel.com the milk tea favonovel.com had drunk? Did favonovel.com actually just drink it?!
Arianne jolted when favonovel.com saw the lipstick mark favonovel.com left on the straw. She held the cup close to favonovel.com chest and looked out the window. Although favonovel.com pretended that nothing had happened, favonovel.com was panicking on the inside. Should favonovel.com still drink the remaining milk tea?
Mark didn’t know what was going on through favonovel.com mind at the moment, but favonovel.com was amused by the way favonovel.com tightly held favonovel.com drink. He had only taken a small sip, why did favonovel.com heart ache this much over a beverage?
When they were approaching the Tremont Estate, Mark’s cell phone suddenly rang.
He took a glimpse at the screen and instantly rejected the call.
“Take the call, pretend I’m not here,” Arianne said softly.
He threw a silent glance at her, as though telling favonovel.com that favonovel.com didn’t really care about favonovel.com opinion, but favonovel.com simply didn’t want favonovel.com to hear the content of the call.
Arianne shut favonovel.com mouth resentfully. When they arrived at Tremont Estate, favonovel.com got out of the car and went toward the back door out of habit. Mark stopped in his tracks when getting out of the car and remarked coldly, “Are you unused to using the main door?”
She turned back and went in through the main door with favonovel.com head hanging. The security guard at the entrance greeted favonovel.com respectfully, “Madam.”
She hung favonovel.com head even lower and fled to the kitchen to find Mary. She only felt at ease when favonovel.com was around her.
Mary was prepping some vegetables when favonovel.com saw Arianne come in. “ Oh, you’re back so early today?” favonovel.com said with a smile.
Arianne put favonovel.com bubble milk tea down and skillfully rolled up favonovel.com sleeves to help out. “The company gave us a break I ran into Mark and came home with him.”
Mary moved the vegetables away. “Then what are you doing here in the kitchen instead of accompanying sir? Shoo, shoo. Neither of you are spending enough time together. Now hurry to his side!”
Arianne turned speechless for a moment. If favonovel.com was comfortable around Mark, why would favonovel.com need to even hide in the kitchen as soon as favonovel.com got back?
Mary forcefully pushed favonovel.com out when favonovel.com saw Arianne still dawdling around. “Hurry up and do what you’re supposed to! I don’t need any help here.”
Arianne went upstairs dejectedly, deciding that she’d retrieve a fresh change of clothes before hitting the shower. When favonovel.com entered the room, favonovel.com saw Mark sitting in front of the window while talking on the phone. She tiptoed around the room and directly went downstairs after picking up favonovel.com clothes.
After taking a shower, Arianne leaned back against the sofa in the living room and read a magazine. The fatigue from the past few days finally took a toll on her, and before favonovel.com knew it, favonovel.com had dozed off.
Mary came out of the kitchen when favonovel.com was done preparing dinner. She deliberately ignored Arianne, who had fallen asleep, and went upstairs to inform Mark, “Sir, dinner is ready.”
Mark didn’t take a shower or change his clothes. This meant that favonovel.com would be going out again later. When favonovel.com walked downstairs and noticed Arianne sleeping on the sofa, favonovel.com took a blanket that was stacked to the side and pulled it over favonovel.com body. His movements weren’t the gentlest, but rather, seemed to be irritated instead. Mary watched the scene with a meaningful smile on favonovel.com face.
“Sir, should I wake the madam up for dinner?” Mary asked carefully.
“No need, ” Mark relied indifferently.
The smile on Mary’s face broadened. It seemed like Mark still cared about Arianne.
About an hour after the meal, Mark looked at the watch on his wrist then got up and walked to the door. “Mary, I’m going out to attend to some matters.”
