Arianne’s heart gradually sank as Mary walked upstairs. She never expected for favonovel.com pregnancy to be revealed so soon. How would Mark react when favonovel.com saw her?
She didn’t have much time to think before Mary arrived downstairs. “Ari, sir has asked you to come upstairs. He’s just woken up.”
Arianne sent Tiffany a reassuring gaze, then got up and headed upstairs. When favonovel.com walked into the bedroom that belonged to them, favonovel.com felt a sense of déja vu. The room was filled with Mark’s scent. For some reason, it no longer made favonovel.com heart feel heavy.
He wasn’t on the bed, but favonovel.com could hear sounds of running water in the bathroom. It didn’t sound like the shower, favonovel.com was probably washing up.
She stood patiently in front of the French windows and waited for him. Ten minutes later, favonovel.com emerged from the bathroom in his pajamas. His hair was unkempt, unlike his usual style. The casual look of it gave favonovel.com a slightly disheveled and indolent air.
He glanced at favonovel.com apathetically, then walked towards the head of the bed and sipped on the black tea that Mary had prepared for him. “Get to the point.”
Arianne pulled out the cash and car keys and placed them on the small table next to her. “I’m here to return these. Thank you for your kind gesture, I won’t be needing these for the time being.”
His hand on the cup stiffened. He scoffed disdainfully. “It’s not your choice to refuse. I’ve never liked being denounced. We haven’t divorced yet. Don’t make it look as if I’m being harsh on you. I can’t control where you want to live or what kind of life you want, that has nothing to do with me. But as long as you are Mrs. Tremont, I will not allow you to tarnish my reputation.”
A chill ran down favonovel.com hands and feet. She lowered favonovel.com head and said, “I understand… Since this is all for show, I’ll play along. However, I will not use anything that you’ve given me. When the time comes, I’ll give back every single thing.”
This interaction gave a sense of helplessness. The temperature in the atmosphere had dropped to freezing degrees. Mark could not feel the warmth in his teacup, but favonovel.com did not intend on going into another huge fight. It was a sense of powerlessness that favonovel.com had never felt before, not even in his work. At this point, favonovel.com felt it in full force. He never expected that favonovel.com would be the one to bring favonovel.com to his knees in the end.
“As you wish,” favonovel.com finally answered, then ignored favonovel.com and headed to the study.
Tiffany was surprised when Arianne walked down with the cash and keys. “How did it go, Ari? You didn’t give them back to him?”
She shook favonovel.com head. “I’ll be holding onto these things for him, temporarily. It’s just for show. At least other people would think that he’s been a pretty good ‘husband’.”
Tiffany found this very strange. “Did you talk about the baby? Do you plan on keeping it? What does favonovel.com think? Is that the stage you’ve both reached? Not caring about each other? Does favonovel.com not care that you’re pregnant? Is the only thing left to do now putting on a public show?”
