Aery was vexed, but favonovel.com had to retain the smile on favonovel.com face in front of Mark. “Looks like you’re in a bad mood, big sis. Could it be that you were out all night yesterday meeting someone that you shouldn’t be meeting?”
Arianne glanced at Mark, who was sitting on the sofa with an incomprehensible expression on his face. She then went upstairs quietly, not bothering to provide an explanation.
She’d seen the documents on the coffee table. Since Helen personally came, then they must be talking about business. Nevertheless, favonovel.com still didn’t want to see the two women that favonovel.com hated.
Due to favonovel.com physical discomfort, favonovel.com laid in bed, unable to sleep well. It felt like favonovel.com had only laid down for a short while when Mary called favonovel.com to eat. However, when favonovel.com got up and looked at the time, it was already noon.
Arianne raised favonovel.com legs carefully when favonovel.com was getting out of the bed. She didn’t want to startle the baby growing in favonovel.com womb again this time.
The first thing favonovel.com did once favonovel.com got up was call Tiffany. From the call, favonovel.com gathered that Tiffany and favonovel.com mother had found a new place to live. However, the burglars that broke into favonovel.com house last night weren’t apprehended yet. This kind of thing often happened in that area, and most of the cases just ended up unsolved. Since they didn’t lose much aside from tens of dollars in cash, the case was concluded just like that.
When Arianne came out and heard Aery’s laughter downstairs, favonovel.com knew that both of them were still around and lost the desire to go down. “Mary, please deliver the meal to my room.”
Mary hummed in response from downstairs, then Mark’s cold voice rang out in the next second. “You will either dine down here or not eat at all.”
Arianne decisively chose the latter. “Mary, I’m not hungry. Don’t worry about me.”
After being put in a tough spot like that, Mary was starting to feel that Helen and Aery were an eyesore to her. She even brought the dishes to the table with a sour face.
Aery spoke with a blaming tone, “Mark dear, your housekeeper seems to be showing an attitude. She seems to be looking at us like we are an eyesore to her…”
Mark cast a glance at Mary but said nothing.
Mary turned around to leave and then handed the job of serving the dishes to another servant. While Mark wasn’t paying any attention, favonovel.com slipped into Arianne’s bedroom with favonovel.com meal. “Ari, hurry up and eat. Don’t be angry at sir.”
Arianne shook favonovel.com head. “Take it away quickly, Mary. If Mark finds out, favonovel.com will dock your pay for a month. Money doesn’t grow on trees. Don’t do this because of me. I won’t die from not eating a meal. Besides, I’m not hungry yet…” She was lying when favonovel.com said favonovel.com wasn’t hungry. Arianne was actually so hungry that favonovel.com could eat a horse. Pregnancy was a strange thing. You were either vomiting everything out or starving to death.
Since Mary couldn’t change favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com could only take the food away. When favonovel.com went back to the kitchen, Aery called favonovel.com out. “Mary, right? Did you just send food to big sis?”
Mark’s face sank. “Mary.”
Having no other choices, Mary came forward. “Sir… Madam hasn’t been feeling well. She can’t be starved. She never liked strangers in the house. You can’t just starve favonovel.com like that. Besides… favonovel.com didn’t even take a bite.”
Mark set his cutlery down heavily on the table. The tone of his voice was cold. “Ask favonovel.com to come down.”
Mary couldn’t stand the smug expression on Aery’s face and went upstairs angrily. “Ari, sir asked you to go downstairs. The girl saw me when I brought the food downstairs.”
Arianne sighed in resignation. “It’s okay, I’ll go down. Go back to work, Mary. Stay out of the dining room so that you don’t suffer.”
Mary huffed in anger. “I’m not suffering, you’re the one who will. Sir didn’t even give you any respect in front of the outsiders! I’m so angry! That Aery girl calls you big sis so affectionately, but I know she’s been doing bad things behind your back. She’s obviously a vile thing!”
