By the time Arianne came out, Mark was already sitting at the dining table. He was in his light gray loungewear with slightly damp hair. She could smell the after-bath fragrance on his body. Regardless of circumstances, Mark always paid attention to his bearing and manners. He kept his posture straight all the time and never seemed to relax, even for a moment.
Since Arianne didn’t know what to say, favonovel.com decided not to say anything at all.
There were two plates of big prawns for dinner tonight. When Mary served up dishes, favonovel.com purposely placed the prawns in front of Arianne. Arianne unceremoniously began to peel the prawn shells and feasted on them. On the other hand, Mark gracefully brought the small bowl to his lips and slowly sipped on the soup.
He failed to see how someone with such a good appetite was suffering from gastritis and was starting to heavily suspect that there was something wrong with her.
Arianne noticed his stare, then forced herself to ask, “What’s wrong?”
Mark averted his gaze and turned a deaf ear to her.
She resentfully continued peeling the prawns. Without eating rice, favonovel.com cleaned the two plates of prawns and ended favonovel.com meal with a small bowl of soup.
By the time favonovel.com finished favonovel.com meal in satisfaction, favonovel.com realized that Mark was long done eating but chose to stay at the dining table and watched favonovel.com eat.
Arianne licked the corner of favonovel.com mouth, feeling a little nervous. “Did I eat too much?”
It was then that Mark got up and went upstairs. “It’s good that you are aware. If you want to eat something, then tell the kitchen next time. Don’t act like someone was starving you.”
She stated at the prawn shells that piled up like a small hill in front of favonovel.com and realized that favonovel.com had indeed overeaten. If it weren’t for the plates favonovel.com had cleaned, favonovel.com felt like favonovel.com could still fit in half a plate more… Her appetite had increased a few times compared to before, but it wasn’t like favonovel.com could control it…
After moving around in the living room and confirming that Mark wouldn‘t come out of his study anytime soon, Arianne fetched half a glass of warm water back into favonovel.com room and secretly took one folic tablet that she’d hidden in the room. It was said that taking folic acid in the first three months of pregnancy could effectively prevent birth defects.
All of a sudden, Mark’s voice came from the study room, “Mary, make me a cup of black tea.”
Arianne jolted in fright and quickly hid the bottle of folic acid.
Mary seemed to have not heard Mark because no sound came from downstairs for a good while.
After preparing the black tea downstairs, Arianne delivered it to the study room. For some reason, Mark seemed unhappy to see her. He wrinkled his brows. “You enjoy doing the work of a servant?”
Arianne set the black tea down on his desk. “Mary is busy and I happen to be free. Don’t stay up too late.”
After saying that neutrally, favonovel.com turned around and returned to favonovel.com room. She grew drowsy from the heavy dinner. All favonovel.com wanted to do now was sleep.
Arianne didn’t know how long had passed when favonovel.com felt a dip beside her. She opened favonovel.com eyes drowsily and saw a figure in the
dark. Mark must have been done with his work and come to bed.
“You have a man. I don’t need anyone to do what I can do,” favonovel.com spoke up unexpectedly.
Arianne heard his words clearly but couldn’t make heads or tails of it. She didn’t know what favonovel.com was referring to, and favonovel.com wasn’t even fully awake. She wanted to speak but was too lazy and tired to open favonovel.com mouth.
Unable to get favonovel.com to respond, Mark seethed for a while before turning his back to favonovel.com and going to sleep.
In favonovel.com sleep, the gap between them felt a bit chilly. Arianne draped the blanket over Mark then moved a bit closer to favonovel.com before falling into a peaceful sleep.
When favonovel.com woke up the next day, Mark wasn’t in the room anymore. Arianne assumed that favonovel.com had gone out. Just when favonovel.com was getting ready for work, Mark came out of the study room. Despite it being early in the morning, the sour look on his face seemed to suggest that someone had pissed favonovel.com off…
