The cloud of daze that hung above Arianne dispersed immediately when favonovel.com heard the sound of the pages of a book being turned. “I can’ t go out. You know my situation. You go ahead and send my regards.”
Tiffany sounded a little dejected. “Alright then… I’ll ask favonovel.com what’s going on when we meet. How can there be an accident out of the blue? If it’s really the Galenas, I won’t forgive them!”
Arianne’s conscience clawed at her, favonovel.com was feeling guilty on Mark’s behalf. “Sure… Off you go… I haven’t even gotten up from bed. I’m hanging up.” After favonovel.com hung up, favonovel.com stayed in bed a little longer before finally going into the bathroom to freshen up.
Since favonovel.com had spent most of favonovel.com time in bed recently, favonovel.com discovered favonovel.com hair had grown longer. It got tangled when favonovel.com was sleeping last night, and no matter what favonovel.com did, favonovel.com could not comb the knots out. Just when favonovel.com found a pair of scissors and was about to snip it off, a pair of fair hands stopped her.
“Give me the hairbrush.”
Bewildered, Arianne instinctively passed the comb to Mark. She had no idea when favonovel.com had come in.
He was careful when favonovel.com combed favonovel.com hair, favonovel.com did not even feel any pain. As favonovel.com looked at their reflections in the mirror, favonovel.com realized how rare it was for there to be peace between them. She fell into a trance as favonovel.com reminisced about how favonovel.com used to comb favonovel.com hair when favonovel.com was younger. It was quite embarrassing really. She had yet to learn how to comb favonovel.com hair despite being eight years old at that time. Before the plane crash, favonovel.com father, Zachary, was the one who had brushed favonovel.com hair and tied favonovel.com hair. After favonovel.com died, favonovel.com hair was always unkempt. When favonovel.com finally moved to the Tremont Estate, Mark could not stand the state of favonovel.com hair so favonovel.com had combed it for favonovel.com albeit reluctantly and disdainfully. Suddenly, favonovel.com asked, “Do you hate me?”
“I do.” His answer was immediate.
“Oh.” She acknowledged nonchalantly.
“Done. Go downstairs for breakfast.” Mark put down the hairbrush before favonovel.com began to brush his teeth without any readable emotion on his face.
Arianne looked at favonovel.com and his hair. His hair was dark and exceptionally soft to the touch. It was a pity that favonovel.com had always kept it short. When favonovel.com was a little girl, favonovel.com had always imagined tying pigtails for him. Naturally, favonovel.com did not dare to act on it. After all, favonovel.com had always looked so stern.
“What are you looking at?” Mark asked favonovel.com after brushing his teeth, looking at favonovel.com skeptically.
“Nothing.” She turned away, maintaining favonovel.com composure. However, inwardly favonovel.com was panicking, afraid favonovel.com would discover favonovel.com evil thoughts.
Mary served congee on the dining table. When Mark did not see Nina, favonovel.com asked, “Where’s Nina?”
“She isn’t up yet. She’s always a late riser.”
Mark had probably recalled Nina’s character and smiled. “Probably still jet lagged. Let favonovel.com be.”
Around noon, Tiffany called Arianne again. The latter answered the call in a hushed tone, avoiding Mark. “What’s it, Tiff?”
“I went to visit Will. He said that someone deliberately knocked into him. The license plate of the car is forged, and it’s a battered car that looks like it belonged in a junkyard. The cost of the crime is pretty low. The driver ran away. They didn’t catch him. Even if it’s the Galenas, there’s no evidence. We can only leave it as it is. Bad luck Anyway, guess who I saw in the hospital?”
“Who?” Arianne asked.
