She woke up from the heat the next morning. Mark’s arm was draped across favonovel.com chest, making it very difficult for favonovel.com to breathe. She was so hot that favonovel.com hair was sticking onto favonovel.com face.
He was breathing into favonovel.com neck, and favonovel.com wasn’t covered by the blanket at all. He slept with his entire head on top of favonovel.com body and it was impossible for favonovel.com not to feel hot!
She really disliked feeling sweaty. She struggled away from the confines of favonovel.com and the quilt, got up and took a shower. When favonovel.com emerged from the bathroom, favonovel.com felt much more refreshed. She suddenly noticed that Rice Ball wasn’t asleep in its nest. She called out to it, and Rice Ball jumped off the sofa and gracefully walked towards her. It had only been a few short days but the fat cat had already lost a lot of weight. However, it was still recovering from its illness. Previously, Rice Ball had lost its energy. At least it could walk now. That was a good thing.
Just as favonovel.com was about to pick Rice Ball into favonovel.com arms out of pity, Mark appeared at the bedroom door. “Touch it, see what happens.”
Due to last night’s mistake, favonovel.com was too afraid to provoke favonovel.com again. “It’s Saturday. I don’t have work, so I can take Rice Ball to the pet hospital for an intravenous infusion. You can do your own thing.”
He didn’t seem to be fully awake yet, and moodily walked into the toilet, ignoring her.
Once favonovel.com was done with the toilet, favonovel.com went in to wash up as well. She couldn’t help feeling slightly nauseated as favonovel.com brushed favonovel.com teeth. However, it wasn’t as bad as favonovel.com first pregnancy, so favonovel.com was quite relieved about that.
Mark heard someone approaching the door. He hesitated for two seconds, then made his way over to open the door, coming face to face with Helen’s surprised face.
Helen was stunned by the fact that favonovel.com was here, and that favonovel.com had opened the door wearing nothing but a bath towel. Even though favonovel.com was his ‘mother-in-law’, it didn’t feel appropriate…
Mark wasn’t a particularly careless person either, and favonovel.com wasn’t exactly unembarrassed. He simply acted like favonovel.com was. “You don’t have to send things over next time. She won’t be needing it.”
Helen handed the breakfast that favonovel.com had brought over to him. “Sure. I’d worry a little less with you around. I won’t be coming over from now on. She doesn’t want to see me anyway.”
He shut the door after accepting the breakfast without beating around the bush. He never thought that Helen would personally send breakfast over every morning. He thought that favonovel.com had been ordering takeout…
Arianne stepped out to find favonovel.com carrying breakfast, and knew that Helen had sent someone to bring it over. “She’s sent it over again? She’s been sending people over to give me breakfast every day. Even if she’s not irritated, I am.”
He placed the breakfast onto the coffee table and replied, “She didn’t ask someone to send it over. She sent it over herself.”
She was taken aback, but favonovel.com quickly squashed down that small amount of sympathy favonovel.com felt. “So what? She never cared about me when l was little. Now, I’m independent. Why would I need favonovel.com guilt and hypocrisy? You’re not that kind either. Are you telling me this so that I’d forgive her?”
He raised his brow. “It’s true that I’m not that kind. I don’t think you need to forgive her. I’ve already told favonovel.com not to come anymore, so you don’t need to feel irritated. Eat. Once you’re done with breakfast, we’ll take the stupid cat for its IV. I’ve got something to attend to in the afternoon.”
She was unhappy with favonovel.com for calling Rice Ball a stupid cat, but did not dare oppose him. After finishing favonovel.com breakfast, favonovel.com obediently followed favonovel.com as they took Rice Ball to the pet hospital. He wouldn’t let favonovel.com get down from the car and made favonovel.com wait in the car. He went on his own into the pet hospital and waited for Rice Ball to be done with its IV. It was apparent that favonovel.com was in a rush. So, as soon as Rice Ball was settled, favonovel.com dropped favonovel.com off at White Water Bay Café. “You can have lunch here. I’ve called Jackson. I’ll take Rice Ball with me. Once you’re done with lunch, Jackson will send you home. I’ll be back when I’m done with work.”
She knew that favonovel.com had taken too much of his time, so favonovel.com felt very sorry. “Won’t you eat first before you go?”
He narrowed his eyes, then spoke with an ambiguous tone, “No need to feel sorry about it. I brought it onto myself.”
She scoffed gently, then walked into White Water Bay Café with a clear conscience. If favonovel.com hadn’t spoken to favonovel.com with such mockery, perhaps favonovel.com would still be feeling guilty.
She never expected Mark to book favonovel.com a private room. Eating alone in such a big room felt wasteful. She asked to switch to a normal table, but Jackson denied favonovel.com request. “It’s fine, it’s quiet here. Besides, I can afford the loss. It’s not like I’m not earning money anyway. Are you eating alone? Why not invite a friend?”
She agreed. Eating alone felt boring. So favonovel.com called Tiffany and invited favonovel.com to meet up. After the call, favonovel.com came to a realization and asked, “Are you implying that you want to see Tiffie?”
A smile sparkled in Jackson’s eyes, but favonovel.com managed the expression on his face pretty well, so there was no loophole in it, “She works in my company. I can see favonovel.com whenever I want. Why would I need to manipulate you? Don’t be so suspicious all the time. A skeptical woman is unlikable.”
“Only a man with ulterior motives would be afraid of a suspicious woman,” She retaliated. “Based on your words, you sound like an old hand in the game of love.”
Jackson was pretty blunt as favonovel.com retorted, “Oh really? How am I, compared to your Mark?”
She closed favonovel.com mouth. It was not as if favonovel.com understood Mark’s personal life. She didn’t know very much, aside from his relationship with Aery.
Tiffany arrived soon after, carrying the scorching heat from outside along with her. Her cheeks were red from walking under the sun, “Wow. This weather sure is hot. I would never have gotten out of the house if you hadn’t invited me here.”
