Lillian glared at Tiffany. “You won’t even eat what you’ve made, and you want me to eat it? It tastes horrible… You get to dine in a restaurant, but you want to leave me at home? I thought about you every time I had something good to eat in the past, wishing that you’d get to taste it too. You ungrateful brat. Arianne, don’t you think so?”
Arianne had an awkward smile on favonovel.com face. “It’s okay, Auntie Lane. Order what you want.”
Lillian smiled contentedly. “Arianne’s more sensible. Marrying a good husband, not having to worry about food and clothes. Her bread is already buttered in life. Tiffie, learn from Arianne. Look at the kind of boyfriend you found for yourself. I get angry whenever I think about Ethan. Forget how much we lost because of him, but what about your youth? In the end, we didn’t get anything.”
Tiffany pulled a long face. “Mom, you didn’t use to speak so uncouthly. Even if we’re poor now, you’re Mrs. Lane. Can you watch your words? Eat if you want. Ari is my best friend, I don’t mind being embarrassed in front of her. She won’t mind as well. However, I hope no thing like this happens again.”
Arianne quickly mediated the situation. “It’s fine, Tiffie. Don’t be like that. We’re so close, there’s no need to be concerned about trivial matters. It’s rare that we get to sit together for a meal. Let’s enjoy it.”
Not wanting to quarrel with Lillian in public, Tiffany held it in and said nothing.
When the dishes were served, they actually occupied the entire table. Lillian enjoyed herself while Arianne plastered on a smile since there was company. Tiffany was the only one who could not bring herself to smile.
Arianne honestly felt bad when favonovel.com looked at Lillian. From not having to worry about favonovel.com meals and clothing, within a night, Lillian did not even have a roof over favonovel.com head. Lillian had to spend favonovel.com days in a rental house and worry about favonovel.com meals. It was really tough.
When they finished their meal, there were still plenty of dishes on the table that were left untouched. Without hesitation, Tiffany called for the server to pack them up.
Lillian said, “What are you doing? Isn’t this embarrassing?”
Tiffany did not expect Lillian would stop her. She had no energy to argue with Lillian. When the leftovers were packed, favonovel.com handed them to Lillian and said, “Take them back. You ordered them so you can’t waste them. If you refuse, I won’t give you your allowance.”
With a flushed face, Lillian left in a hurry with the packed leftovers as though favonovel.com was scared of being seen.
Arianne said with a smile, “It’s okay, Tiffie. It’s normal that your mom still can’t get used to it. She’ll be fine as time passes. I’m here mainly to hang out with you. Eric’s company has been handed over to his second elder brother, and he’s setting up a new company. I’ll report there next week, and it’s located farther from Glide. New companies are usually super busy or super free in its beginning phase, but I don’t think Eric’s company belongs to the latter. When we get started, I won’t have the time to hang out with you anymore.”
Tiffany suddenly grabbed favonovel.com hand. “Ari, take me along with you. Eric must need more manpower in his new company. As long as his pay is similar to what Jackson is giving me, I’ll take it! You don’t know how awkward it is for me to face Jackson now in the office… Talk to Eric for me?”
“Sure, I don’t think it’ll be an issue. I’ll contact Eric tonight. Walk around with me. I plan to buy some clothes. The weather’s getting warmer, and I don’t really have anything to wear.” Arianne agreed to Tiffany’s request immediately. She had an ulterior motive after all. She wanted Tiffany to stay further away from Jackson. What happened previously was a complete mess. To prevent awkwardness and possible consequences, it was the best for Tiffany to leave Jackson’s company.
Arianne was covered in sweat when favonovel.com finally returned to the Tremont Estate after shopping. She took a shower and kept favonovel.com new clothes in the wardrobe. She was taken by surprise when favonovel.com saw that Mark actually had ten times more clothes than her. The exaggerated difference baffled her. Did women not have more clothes than men usually? Why was it different when it came to her?
