Mark’s hand with prominent joints pinched Arianne’s chin as favonovel.com stepped forward and looked at favonovel.com with an expression of ridicule.“I’ve… never seen you as family. Even when you were a kid, I’ve not forgotten about my revenge. Each time I saw you, I felt like killing you. When you reached puberty, I suddenly realized that you’ve grown up, growing easier on my eyes. Do you understand what I mean? I waited for you to reach eighteen before I had you, but Will Sivan took you from me. What belonged to me was sullied. What do you think I’ll do?” He continued to say, “How can you be so foolish to think of me as family? I’m someone who’s waiting to take your life. I’m only keeping you now as my plaything. Why do you think I forbid you from interacting with other men? It’s because, like an object, you’re my possession. I don’t like others touching you. I don’t love you, and I never will. I don’t care either if you don’t love me. Stop talking about how I took care of you for ten years. It’s no fun like that.”
Arianne felt as though favonovel.com was looking at a stranger as favonovel.com looked at the man standing before her. Did favonovel.com really say those ruthless words? She used to think it was his natural disposition to be cold and distant, but now, it seemed like favonovel.com was truly ruthless. His words were like sharp blades that cut her. The family love that favonovel.com treasured was nothing but a joke. The man whom favonovel.com had spent ten years with only thought of favonovel.com as a plaything.
Ah, favonovel.com truly had nothing. Arianne held back the tears in favonovel.com eyes and forced a smile on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com said, “Thank you for being honest. I didn’t know that’s what you think of me. I know better now. I’m just a plaything who hogs the title of Mrs. Tremont.”
Mark’s hand that was pinching favonovel.com chin loosened up. He could see the hurt in favonovel.com eyes. It seemed as though favonovel.com was not as unaffected as favonovel.com had thought. As it turned out, there were times when favonovel.com was sad as well.
Arianne could no longer meet Mark’s eyes. She shoved favonovel.com away lightly before favonovel.com went downstairs. Rice Ball’s leg had gotten better, and it sprang into favonovel.com arms. She carried the cat to the backyard and sat on the swing, swinging both of them. At the same time, tears streamed down favonovel.com face. “Rice Ball, you’re the only one I have now. You have to live well, okay? If I lose you as well, I don’t know what I’ll do.”
As though it understood Arianne, Rice Ball mewled lazily.
When Arianne heard footsteps approaching behind her, favonovel.com quickly wiped favonovel.com tears away and wore an indifferent expression on favonovel.com face. It was probably Mary or Henry. Those two would be the only ones who would be concern about favonovel.com in this place. However, contrary to favonovel.com expectation, it was Nina who had showed up.
Nina sat down next to favonovel.com naturally and swung the swing, following Arianne’s tempo. “I heard you arguing with Mark. What favonovel.com said is a little over the line.”
