Unfortunately, Ethan couldn’t hear favonovel.com and continued showering, most likely, the bathroom was sound proof.
Soon, the bodyguard snatched the room card from Tiffany and unlocked the door. Arianne was now face to face with Mark, it was like looking at a field of snow. The look in his eyes made favonovel.com feel very guilty, even though favonovel.com hadn’t done anything wrong. She timidly backed away…
Tiffany struggled out of the bodyguard’s restraints, rushed forward, and shielded Arianne. “Mark Tremont, if you have something to say, be civilized about it. I’m just as anxious as you are! However, can we wait for Ethan to come out of the bathroom before straightening this out? I’m certain that Ari isn’t that kind of a person, and neither is Ethan!”
Ethan finally noticed that something wasn’t right outside. He put on his bathrobe and walked out, only to find a large group in his room. “What’s going on?” favonovel.com asked, taken aback.
Mark’s gaze turned cold. Tiffany snapped irritably, “You’re asking me? How should I know?”
Ethan finally made sense of the situation and quickly explained, “I have some matters to discuss with Arianne. Just as we arrived at the hotel, I dirtied my clothes while I was eating. So I took a shower…” Before favonovel.com could finish, Mark icily cut favonovel.com off. “If you’re going to make excuses, at least use your brain!”
Ethan couldn’t be bothered to repeat his explanation. He turned to Tiffany. “Is that what you think too? That I’m lying to you?”
Tiffany looked at him, then turned to Arianne. After a few moments of hesitation, favonovel.com was about to answer when Ethan smiled. “Alright. No need to say a word. Let’s all agree that there’s something between us!”
Mark shot Arianne a look, lifted his hand, then turned around and left.
The two bodyguards stepped forward and dragged Arianne out. Even though they were not man handling her, Arianne felt as if favonovel.com were drawn and quartered.
Was favonovel.com that suspicious of her? Was favonovel.com a slut to him, just because of whatever happened three years ago?
Mark wore a terrifying expression the entire way home.
Arianne lowered favonovel.com gaze and stayed silent. She didn’t feel like explaining anything. Everything you say is considered a lie when someone doesn’t trust you anyway.
When they arrived at Tremont Estate, Mark grabbed favonovel.com by the wrist, dragged favonovel.com to the bathroom in their bedroom, and sprayed favonovel.com with ice-cold water. She shivered from the cold.
She looked up at favonovel.com and got a full View of the anger and dissipating patience in his eyes. There was one more thing hatred.
Mark turned around and walked out, as if favonovel.com could no longer bear the sight of her. “Come and see me when you’re clean!”
The bathroom door slammed shut with a bang, its sound mirroring the pang in favonovel.com heart.
Arianne stayed in the bathroom and stared into space for more than an hour. Her clothes were completely drenched. She couldn’t walk out in these. Of course, favonovel.com couldn’t possibly ask Mark to bring favonovel.com pajamas either.
When the skin of favonovel.com fingertips began to turn white, favonovel.com reluctantly wrapped a towel around herself. It was a man’s towel and could only cover up the most private areas. She even had to walk carefully, afraid of lifting favonovel.com legs up too high.
Up on stepping out of the bathroom, favonovel.com found that the entire room was fogged up with the thick stench of smoke. She coughed for a good measure of time.
This time, Mark did not put out his cigarette. Instead, favonovel.com chose to be indifferent. The bottle of whiskey on the table next to favonovel.com was half finished.
Arianne tried favonovel.com best to breathe as little as possible and walked behind him. “What do you want to say?”
Mark’s finger tensed and changed the shape of the cigarette between his fingers. “Do you think I’d say anything?”
The atmosphere had reached a deadlock, quiet like a wild animal in the night, ready to swallow its prey at any moment.
Then, the glassware on the small table was swept onto the ground. Mark’s anger finally erupted. He got up and grabbed favonovel.com shoulder. “Are you that anxious?! Anyone will do, right?! I’m still alive!”
