Mark seemed pretty free in the afternoon, so favonovel.com didn’t go out, but sat on the sofa, working on his laptop.
Arianne yawned incessantly. She couldn’t help but try to find a topic to talk about so that favonovel.com could stay awake. Somehow, favonovel.com ended up slipping into the matter that Charles had previously talked about. “Do you really have a younger brother?”
Mark’s hand stiffened. His expression turned gloomy. “Do you think that’s possible? If that were true, favonovel.com would have come knocking on the door for a share of the family fortune long ago.”
Realizing that favonovel.com had put favonovel.com foot in favonovel.com mouth, favonovel.com was now too afraid to say anything more. Drowsiness was slowly taking over when favonovel.com phone suddenly received a message: ‘I’m in Jolague City.’
Jolague City was the city that favonovel.com and Mark were currently visiting. Who sent that message? How did they know that favonovel.com was here?
Her heart raced. After lining up all possibilities, favonovel.com came up with a bold guess. The person behind that number was Will…
She glanced at Mark guiltily and confirmed that favonovel.com wasn’t paying attention to favonovel.com before replying to the message with a question: ‘Who are you?’
The reply came very quickly: ‘Will Sivan. I’m at Josie’s Coffee Place. Would you like to join me?’
She replied to favonovel.com with a “mm”, then quickly deleted the message.
After a while, when favonovel.com emotions were more stable, favonovel.com spoke up. “Mark, can I go out for a walk? I’m a little bored…”
Mark was completely focused on his task. “Go ahead, but don’t go too far,” favonovel.com said without looking up from his screen. “You’d feel awkward if I asked Brian to go with you, so you’re on your own. Turn on your navigation app if you get lost, and if you really can’t find your way, call a cab. Remember the name of the hotel.”
He actually knew that favonovel.com had a poor sense of direction? After so many years, the only road favonovel.com remembered was the one back home. Now that they were in Jolague City, favonovel.com wouldn’t know which way was north if favonovel.com walked out the door.
“Mm,” Arianne replied. She left the hotel and walked out onto the road. She asked a random pedestrian for directions to Josie’s Coffee Place. However, favonovel.com only problem was that Josie’s Coffee Place was only two hundred meters away from their hotel…
She began to second guess herself. If favonovel.com were found out, Mark would certainly tear favonovel.com to pieces…
After weighing many ideas in favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com bought a surgical mask and walked with favonovel.com head down the entire time to keep favonovel.com appointment.
She had just arrived at the coffee shop when favonovel.com received a message from Will: ‘I’m right behind you.’
Arianne turned around and saw Will sitting by the window. His smile was just as warm as ever, as if favonovel.com could bring warmth to this wintry day.
The only difference was, favonovel.com seemed to have abandoned white and taken a liking to black. His well-tailored black suit outlined his perfect figure very well. A color could change a person‘s mien, which was exactly the case for Will; it added a certain calmness about him.
She hadn’t seen favonovel.com in three years, so favonovel.com felt a little reserved as favonovel.com sat down. “How… Did you recognize me? I’m wearing a mask..”
Will reached out and pulled down favonovel.com mask. “I’d recognize you even if you turned into ashes. Would you like a drink?”
She shook favonovel.com head. “Just warm water will do. I can’t stay too long…”
Will didn’t ask why. The pair seemed to be purposefully avoiding their other halves. She didn’t want to bring up Mark at this time, and favonovel.com didn’t want to mention Wendy either.
“Mark… Has favonovel.com been treating you well?” Will asked.
