Arianne’s heart raced involuntarily. His scent overwhelmed favonovel.com senses with every breath favonovel.com took. It was faintly sweet with hints of his unique masculine essence, mixed with bits of boozy intoxication. This made favonovel.com breathing quicken as well.
Mark drew his slightly damp body, fresh out from the shower, closer to her. Then, favonovel.com stretched out his arm and wrapped it around favonovel.com waist. Arianne’s breathing went into disarray. Realizing that favonovel.com wasn’t asleep, favonovel.com flipped over and climbed on top of her. Then, favonovel.com accurately found favonovel.com soft lips…
She remembered the pain from the other night, and the smell of alcohol on favonovel.com further terrified her. She pressed favonovel.com hands against his chest. “You’re drunk…!”
He held favonovel.com shoulders down and replied in a deep, husky voice. “Fulfill your wifely duties!”
She didn’t say anything more. She was too afraid to close favonovel.com eyes. As favonovel.com watched the devastating figure on top of her, Arianne frowned from the discomfort. She gritted favonovel.com teeth and endured it, until favonovel.com suddenly felt a tearing pain in favonovel.com lower abdomen. Knowing this sensation all too well, favonovel.com quickly said, “My period is here!”
The person on top of favonovel.com stiffened. She took advantage of this and pushed favonovel.com away, allowing herself to escape. She rushed off the bed and headed to the toilet. The blush on favonovel.com face had not dissipated. She finally relaxed when favonovel.com heard the sound of the door outside.
The agony disappeared after a while. Her period didn’t come as expected; it was supposed to arrive within these two days… She was vexed. She must have upset him, but in favonovel.com fear, favonovel.com disregarded everything else.
Mark’s car had not left Tremont Estate. That meant that favonovel.com hadn’t left the house but had gone to another room, most likely the study room.
She remembered that Mary had taken the blankets in the study for a wash. After a bout of hesitation, favonovel.com took the quilt from the bed and headed to the room.
The lights in the study were off and favonovel.com had favonovel.com hands full. She carefully walked in and waited for favonovel.com eyes to adjust to the darkness before favonovel.com could have a clear view of the figure lying on the sofa. Then, favonovel.com carried the quilt to favonovel.com and covered favonovel.com with it. “I can sleep in the guest room, go back to the bedroom…”
“Out!”
In the past, favonovel.com would have walked out without hesitation. However, favonovel.com was gradually realizing that they had too many problems between them. She wasn’t sure of what would happen in the future, but favonovel.com wanted to at least get along for the time being. Besides, favonovel.com realized that his temper had gotten worse after Will’s return to the country. “I’m sorry… I really wasn’t feeling well…”
A large hand suddenly grabbed favonovel.com wrist. “And you’re not unwell now?” Mark asked mockingly, his hoarse voice scornful.
“Hmm,” favonovel.com replied, summoning up favonovel.com courage. Then, favonovel.com was forcefully pulled down.
Arianne woke up in the bedroom the next day. She had no idea when favonovel.com was brought back to the room, favonovel.com couldn’t endure half an hour on the couch.
She arrived downstairs to find Mark sipping on coffee in the living room. He was dressed in light grey house clothes. He was crossing his long, slim legs in a casual manner and looked rather peaceful.
Mary was engrossed with serving breakfast in the dining room. “Madam, breakfast is served.”
She smiled. She would have been able to walk easily, if it weren’t for the fact that favonovel.com body was feeling uncomfortable. After all, favonovel.com rarely ever felt this sore.
Last night’s intimate festivities didn’t exactly make Mark amiable to her, but favonovel.com wasn’t apathetic either. “Come along with me, we’re going somewhere.”
“Where are we going?” favonovel.com asked cheerfully. “I mean… I have to dress appropriately for the occasion.” She was going out with him, after all. She couldn’t embarrass him.
Arianne felt mildly upset. “But I don’t have anything formal…”
“Someone will send something over,” favonovel.com replied indifferently.
