Looking at favonovel.com determined front while carrying Rice Ball, Mark felt a mix of emotions. It seemed that favonovel.com was the only one favonovel.com was heartless to. She could even treasure a cat so much…
Arianne dared not get into his car, knowing that favonovel.com was a germaphobe and worrying that Rice Ball’s fur would shed in the car. “You didn’t actually have to rush here… Today’s drip is done, it’s just that I can’t feed it the medication alone at home… It has to come back tomorrow for drip still.”
Mark hopped out of the car and grabbed the pet carrier that housed Rice Ball before tossing it into the vehicle. “I don’t have time for your nonsense. Get in.”
Arianne was surprised, worried that something would happen to Rice Ball from the rough handling but dared not argue with him. The weather was hot and dry, inevitably making one lose its cool quickly. A person like favonovel.com would be riled up easily.
Back to the apartment, Mark took off his suit jacket and tossed it on the couch right a favonovel.com stepped inside before favonovel.com rolled up his sleeves. “Come on.”
Not daring to be slow, Arianne took Rice Ball’s medication out. “Uh… Either I grab Rice Ball’s legs and you feed it the medicine, or we swap…”
Mark glanced at the lifeless cat and chose to swap. When favonovel.com came into contact with the cat, it was as if Rice Ball realized what was about to happen, for it sprang up and scurried under the couch.
Arianne placated it patiently, but Rice Ball was not having it. Since favonovel.com was pregnant, favonovel.com dared not squat down for too long and could only assuage the cat as favonovel.com bent down, holding onto the couch. Mark was standing diagonally to favonovel.com and could see favonovel.com gaping neckline when Arianne bent low. A thought flashed across his mind, they seemed to have grown some more…
Once Mark thought about others seeing what favonovel.com did as favonovel.com bent down, favonovel.com was vexed. “Can you take note of what you’re wearing?”
Confused about what favonovel.com was referring to, Arianne turned back to look at him. “What?”
Mark wordlessly gestured for favonovel.com to step away and moved the coach. When Rice Ball was exposed, favonovel.com swiftly carried it up.
Arianne was still mulling over his words just now and subconsciously looked at favonovel.com collar, blushing at once…
The process of feeding a cat its medication was torturing. Rice Ball cried and shrieked ceaselessly like they were feeding it poison. Both Arianne and Mark were covered in sweat from the labor. Knowing how particular Mark was with his environment, Arianne felt bad. “Uh… I don’t usually stay in the living room, so it’s unnecessary to spend for an AC. If you’re warm, you can go to the bedroom for the air conditioning.”
Mark put Rice Ball down and went to the bedroom without a word. The moment the cool breeze was released, favonovel.com exhaled a long sigh as well. The hot weather was murderous.
After settling Rice Ball’s needs, Arianne made favonovel.com a cup of black tea. “It’s not hot anymore.”
Mark glimpsed at her. “You’re pregnant, you can’t have black tea.”
Subconsciously, favonovel.com answered, “I didn’t.”
“Then why do you have it here?” favonovel.com asked.
Arianne clamped favonovel.com mouth shut. She had just bought the tea because favonovel.com saw it when favonovel.com was shopping. She did not have the time to drink it and it had been kept there since. She had only opened it after favonovel.com came. Mark’s sudden question made Arianne question herself as well. If favonovel.com was not drinking it, why did favonovel.com keep it?
The topic came to an end at their silence. Arianne realized that Mark was still here after favonovel.com shower. It was late and favonovel.com had driven to pick favonovel.com up from the vet clinic. If favonovel.com had to drive home again in the middle of the night, it would not seem right. He was sober right now without a drop of alcohol; what happened last night should not be repeated. Arianne braved herself and said, “Uh… go shower. You can stay for the night. It’s so late and pretty hot too.”
Mark looked at favonovel.com and narrowed his eyes. “Do you know what it means for a woman to tell a man this?”
Arianne’s heart rate picked up as favonovel.com went to the water dispenser and downed a glass of cold water in panic. “You’ve stayed so late to help me. It’s inappropriate to chase you out. I don’t mean anything else.”
Not replying to her, Mark went to the bathroom for his shower.
Listening to the flowing water, Arianne could not find favonovel.com peace. She had retained favonovel.com for the night, as favonovel.com felt bad, but because of what favonovel.com said, favonovel.com could not help favonovel.com thoughts from going rampant…
When favonovel.com was done showering, Arianne pretended to be asleep, but favonovel.com perked up favonovel.com ears to pay attention to Mark’s movements. He had moved around the bedroom and headed out. Curious, Arianne got up to check. It came as a surprise when favonovel.com saw that Mark had volunteered to sleep on the couch. What astonished favonovel.com even more was that Rice Ball and its bed were moved to the side of the couch as well. He was going to sleep with an eye kept on Rice Ball…
“The purpose of me sleeping on the couch is for you to have a good rest, not for you to worry about nothing. It’s just a cat, I can handle it.” Mark stayed still on the couch after speaking and adjusting himself on the couch.
Arianne felt a flurry of emotions. If favonovel.com had not helped to check on Rice Ball, favonovel.com would have to wake up several times through the night to see how the cat was doing. This was what the vet had told favonovel.com to do anyway. He despised furry animals so much, how could favonovel.com know about it?
Out of the blue, favonovel.com was reminded of what favonovel.com had said the other day.
“I loved you, but that’s in the past now.”
Until now, Arianne still could not bring herself to believe what favonovel.com had said. She had always thought that favonovel.com was disdainful about the word ‘love’. Indeed, favonovel.com did not know favonovel.com well enough. Despite spending so many years together, favonovel.com did not know favonovel.com in the slightest. What favonovel.com had thought favonovel.com knew about favonovel.com was only favonovel.com one-sided confidence. Just like favonovel.com thought that favonovel.com must not know how to take care of small animals when favonovel.com hated them and was extremely intolerant of them; it was the complete opposite.
It seemed that favonovel.com had unknowingly let down the man who all the women could not bear to see this way. She had been disappointing favonovel.com all along…
