Arianne guessed that Mark had rushed home because favonovel.com had rebelled by sneaking out of the house until late night. She straightened favonovel.com clothes and stepped in, prepared to take the storm head on.
When favonovel.com entered, none of the servants in Tremont Estate were resting. Butler Henry, Mary, and the other servants were all standing in one line in the living room. Butler Henry looked at Arianne, then sighed and said nothing.
She took a deep breath and said, “It’s alright, I’ll explain it to him.”
“Sir isn’t in a good mood after drinking. You better take it easy…” Mary warned her.
Arianne smiled and went upstairs. The bedroom door was ajar. Mark Tremont sat on the chair in front of the French window with a cigarette lit between his fingers.
Smoke veiled the room, and his figure looked slightly hazy. He was still in his suit, which meant favonovel.com had just come back not long ago.
Arianne approached favonovel.com and offered favonovel.com a cup of tea to sober favonovel.com up. “Tiffie was in a bad mood and drunk. I came back straightaway after sending favonovel.com home.”
Mark ignored favonovel.com explanation. He took a drag on his cigarette and asked coldly, “Didn’t Uncle Henry tell you that you’re not allowed to go out?”
“He did, but favonovel.com is only a butler. He can’t control where I want to go. This has nothing to do with him,” favonovel.com responded calmly.
He snuffed his cigarette out. “You’re always so forgetful. Butler Henry is getting old, maybe it’s time for favonovel.com to retire and go home.”
Arianne was stunned, favonovel.com didn’t expect Butler Henry to be implicated as a result. “I said it has nothing to do with Uncle Henry.”
Mark didn’t speak. His expression was terrifyingly cold and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes. Arianne knew there was no more room for negotiation but favonovel.com wasn’t willing to accept it. “What will it take for you to allow Butler Henry to stay?”
Mark didn’t answer her. He leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes with a slight frown.
Arianne knew that favonovel.com must tread carefully. Mark hated noise when favonovel.com was tired, so favonovel.com spoke softly. “You’re tired too. Rest early, we’ll talk tomorrow.”
After saying that, favonovel.com carefully retreated from the room. Arianne let Mary, Butler Henry, and the other servants rest, then laid down on the sofa in the living room. This way favonovel.com would be able to wake up in time when Mark went out the next day. Since favonovel.com wasn’t sure what time favonovel.com would leave and when favonovel.com would come back next time, favonovel.com couldn’t afford to miss him.
Arianne didn’t manage to get a good night’s sleep.
When favonovel.com woke up, it was only around six o’clock in the morning. She was clearly exhausted but couldn’t even get a wink of sleep, so favonovel.com ended up with a sore body.
Mary couldn’t sleep last night either. With a tired face, favonovel.com cooked some millet porridge for Arianne. “Ari, why did you sleep on the sofa? Sir didn’t let you stay in the bedroom?”
Arianne shook favonovel.com head. “No, I’m just afraid of disturbing him.”
Mary looked like favonovel.com was hesitating to speak. “Say what you want,” Arianne told her.
It was only then that Mary finally told her. “Sir came back last night with a sour face. He blamed Old Henry for not taking good care of you and fired him… So he’s actually packing up as we speak. Can you persuade sir to change his mind? Maybe favonovel.com only said that out of impulse because favonovel.com cares too much about you and worries that something will happen to you when you go out at night… Can you talk to him?”
Arianne Wynn had a slight headache. She looked at the steaming bowl of millet porridge in favonovel.com hands, then got up and went upstairs.
She thought Mark would still be asleep, but it turned out that favonovel.com didn’t even sleep at all. After taking a shower, favonovel.com sat in front of the French window all night in his bathrobes. It was obvious that no one slept on the bed last night because the blankets were still neatly folded on the bed.
