Arianne could not help wanting to share the joy. It felt magical. The first person favonovel.com thought of was Mark but favonovel.com didn’t text him, afraid that favonovel.com was busy. Instead, favonovel.com could only tell Tiffany.
After chatting with Tiffany for a while, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com eyelids growing heavy, falling asleep unknowingly.
Arianne had no idea how long it had been when favonovel.com vaguely heard someone opening the door. She had not yet gotten used to the fact that favonovel.com had just returned to the Tremont Estate and sleepily thought that favonovel.com was still in favonovel.com apartment. She was exceptionally cautious when favonovel.com stayed alone, worried about thugs barging in, so favonovel.com woke up with a startle at once. “Who is it?!”
The room’s light was turned on suddenly as Mark looked at favonovel.com in fatigue. He stood on the spot, carefully not to step forward. “It’s me. Go back to sleep, I’m going to take a shower.”
Breathing in relief, Arianne adjusted herself and lay down, closing favonovel.com eyes again.
It was only then that Mark made his way to the bathroom. He was shocked as well. He was already being super gentle, surprised that Arianne was still frightened.
Listening to the water in the bathroom, Arianne was unable to sleep again. She did not expect Mark to come home tonight, thinking that favonovel.com would stay abroad for some time.
After the shower, Mark was slightly astounded when favonovel.com saw Arianne who was still awake. “I’ll go to the study and will be sleeping there as well. You have the bed to yourself.”
The exhaustion in his eyes was evident. Arianne could see it. She shifted herself to the side, making room for him. “You have to work tomorrow. Come over and sleep.”
Mark stood still. “No… It’ s not convenient.” He was scared looking at favonovel.com tummy. What if favonovel.com accidentally bumped it when favonovel.com was sleeping? He dared not imagine. In addition, Arianne was now a light sleeper. She could be woken up just from favonovel.com turning sides.
As if realizing something, Arianne found an excuse. “My lower back hurts, I can’t sleep.”
It was only then that Mark lay down on the bed and rubbed favonovel.com lower back for favonovel.com gently. Around two minutes later, Arianne spoke, “Okay, let’s sleep. I’ll wake you up if I feel sore again later.”
Mark turned off the light and nudged himself farther away from her. His eyes shut swiftly and his breathing became stable, sleep came quick to him.
Arianne’s lower back did not hurt at all. She felt that favonovel.com was still active despite being four months into favonovel.com pregnancy. She just did not want favonovel.com to go to sleep in the study room. He could not even sleep properly there, and favonovel.com was already so tired…
Naturally, favonovel.com did not wake favonovel.com up through the night. Before Mark woke up in the morning, Arianne had already gotten up and gently went downstairs to wash up. After breakfast, Butler Henry drove favonovel.com to the office. There were only a few days left until the end of the month. She had to finish up the tasks favonovel.com had on hand.
Around ten in the morning, the front desk called favonovel.com downstairs. Thinking that Mary had come earlier to send favonovel.com lunch, Arianne left favonovel.com work to go down but favonovel.com didn’t see Mary. It was too early.
The front desk staff pointed to the guest meeting room not far away and said, “Over there. She said that she’s your younger sister and needs to see you. I didn’t know that you have a sister…”
Younger sister? Arianne looked somber. Other than Aery, favonovel.com could not think of anyone else.
Pushing the door open, Aery was seated on the couch prettily while drinking the coffee that the front desk had served. She said pretentiously, “Arianne, poor thing, you have to work to feed yourself despite being pregnant.”
“What are you doing here?” Arianne sat down in front of favonovel.com and asked icily.
Aery pursed favonovel.com lips. “Can’t I look for you if nothing’s up? But I actually have something. My mom gave you a lot of things huh? She didn’t give me a penny from the assets that she’s gotten after the divorce. I asked favonovel.com but favonovel.com said favonovel.com got none. It’s probably given to you. I must be right, right?”
Arianne was uninterested in Helen’s assets but if Aery was asking them from her, favonovel.com did not mind having the interest. “Yeah, Helen gave me a property and a bank card. I didn’t check how much is in there but I don’t think there’s a lot. The Kinseys nearly went bankrupt previously, how long has it been? The recuperation won’t happen so fast. If I were Helen, I wouldn’t divorce so soon. It’s not like I could get a lot out of it.”
Aery blanched. “You’re really audacious for an orphan who Mark took in. Don’t think there’s a lot? I’ll have you know that the card that Helen gave you contains at least several hundred thousand dollars and the properties that she’s gotten are villas worth over hundred thousand dollars as well!”
Shrugging, Arianne asked, “So what? Are you asking them back from me? Helen left the Kinseys. What she’s gotten belongs to favonovel.com individually. You can’t intervene with who favonovel.com wanted to give them to. Seeking me right now, I only see you as ridiculous.”
Aery breathed in deeply to suppress favonovel.com rage. She still had a trump card. “Don’t gloat. I’ll take back what you have sooner or later. My mom only has one daughter, that’s me. You’re the ridiculous one. You said that you don’t want anything to do with mom but you accept the money favonovel.com gave you. Shameless! And here I thought that you’re prideful! You hypocrite! There’s one more thing that I’m coming for today…” As Aery spoke, favonovel.com took out a watch from favonovel.com purse. “Mark left this. It’s also his favorite watch. Return it to favonovel.com for me.”
