Mark turned his head back and looked at favonovel.com with complex emotions running through his eyes. “What if I told you that the past didn’t matter? I’m not really…” Before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, favonovel.com got interrupted by Aery and favonovel.com family. Not only was favonovel.com mother here today, but even favonovel.com father, Jean Kinsey, was here.
“Mark dear, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s been a long while, how are you?” Aery pretended as if nothing had happened and spoke to Mark in favonovel.com usual cutesy voice.
Mark was rather unhappy to be interrupted, so naturally, his feelings were reflected on his face. “Yeah,” favonovel.com replied curtly.
Aery knew how to observe the situation, so favonovel.com stepped aside and stopped talking but continued giving dirty looks to Arianne. Jean and Helen both acted friendly around Mark Speaking of schemes, those two were probably on another level. They even directly addressed favonovel.com as ‘Mark’ instead of ‘Mr. Tremont’ like everyone else. “The weather is nice today, Mark. It’s good that you bought Ari out. She’s never been in good health since young. I’m relieved to see that she’s doing well in the Tremont family all these years.”
Arianne couldn’t stand Helen’s hypocritical behavior. She was literally two-faced! Even so, Arianne suppressed herself. If they weren’t in public, favonovel.com would have really given Helen a piece of favonovel.com mind.
By right, Helen was considered Mark’s mother-in-law. She wasn’t doing anything wrong, so Mark still had to humor her. “There’s nothing to worry about. She’s doing pretty well.”
Seeing that Mark’s attitude toward Helen wasn’t as cold, Aery seized the opportunity. “Why don’t we connect the tables and eat together? It’s rare for the family to gather. What do you think, big sis?”
As soon as the question came out, everyone directed their gaze at Arianne. If it were in the past, Arianne would have accepted out of politeness and even endured the discomfort of doing so. However, favonovel.com no longer wanted to force herself. “Family? Who? Do any of you share the same family name as mine? I’m out of your league and prefer quietness. Please find yourselves a table elsewhere.”
Aery and favonovel.com family were instantly put on the spot. After having several encounters with Arianne, Helen pretty much understood favonovel.com temperament by now. “Then we shall take our leave. Ari, your younger sister has made you upset, but you should be forgiving as an older sister. Don’t argue with her. I’ll get favonovel.com to apologize to you next time.”
Apologize? More like visiting the Tremont Estate under the guise of forming a closer relationship. It seemed like as mother and daughter, it was impossible for favonovel.com to cleanly sever their relationship. Helen was pretty clever for selling favonovel.com daughter out, but Arianne wasn’t going to let favonovel.com have favonovel.com way. “No need next time. Why not now?”
Aery turned green from anger. “Mom!”
Since Arianne had made it clear, there was no getting out of the situation. Helen gritted favonovel.com teeth and dragged Aery in front of Arianne. “Speak.”
Aery pressed favonovel.com lips and refused to say a word, so Helen secretly pinched favonovel.com hard. Her arm hurt, but favonovel.com remained silent because favonovel.com didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of Mark. Arianne smiled at them. “Never mind then. I’m not worthy of the apology.”
Jean couldn’t stand seeing his precious daughter suffer so favonovel.com came forward to mediate the situation. “Forget it. Fights between sisters are very normal. Let’s not further disturb their meal but return to our seats.”
Aery was the first to turn around and leave. Helen, who had a ball of anger burning in the pit of favonovel.com stomach, gave Aery a sour face during their entire meal.
Arianne enjoyed favonovel.com meal and even occasionally chatted with Mark as if nothing had happened. Aery was so angry that smoke was practically coming out of favonovel.com orifices.
After their meal, Arianne took the initiative to hold onto Mark’s arm as both of them headed to the exit together. At the sight of this, Aery finally snapped and went up to them. “Mark dear!”
