The woman in red was shocked. She stood behind Ethan, too afraid to speak. She was only a secretary, and the necklace was supposed to be for a female client.
Tiffany did not expect for Ethan to buy something for favonovel.com like that. She sneered, “I’ve already eaten the Chinese-style omelet wraps that you previously bought. Forget about the necklace. I can’t afford it, and I certainly can’t afford having you buy it for me.”
Arianne pulled out favonovel.com black card from favonovel.com bag, “Swipe it on mine. I’m buying it.”
Ethan insisted on swiping his card, completely unaffected by Tiffany’s rejection and icy words.
He pointed at another necklace as favonovel.com swiped the card, “Wrap that one up for me as well.”
Tiffany seemed to have been completely upset. She threw the wrapped up necklace onto the ground, “Ethan, are you trying to showcase your superiority to me? Do you find this entertaining? It’s because I used to spend money on you, isn’t it? You saw it as an insult, right? So you’re trying to get back at me?”
Ethan pursed his lips and stared at her, “I am not. You’re overthinking it. You like it, so I’m giving it to you. It’s that simple.”
That humiliating feeling was still fresh in favonovel.com mind, the scene of their break up playing vividly before favonovel.com eyes. Tiffany took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, “No need. You’ve already paid me everything you owed me. We’re done. Stop showing off your wealth extravagantly. I’m now a penniless girl. There is nothing between us now. Take this necklace and give it to someone else.” Then, favonovel.com turned around and walked away. Arianne quickly rushed after her.
“Mr… Connor, are you alright?” the woman in red asked carefully.
“I’m fine,” Ethan picked up the necklace from the ground and stared after Tiffany as favonovel.com left and sighed, “Don’t you know who that was?”
He was speaking to the saleswoman.
The saleswoman was confused, “Huh…?”
“The pregnant one is your boss’s wife, Arianne Wynn. Everything here belongs to her. Next time, don’t judge someone based on their clothes. Superficial.” Then, favonovel.com took the necklace that was meant for Tiffany and headed towards the shopping mall entrance.
The woman in red called out after favonovel.com from behind, “Mr. Connor, shall I send the other one over to Miss Sanders?”
Ethan did not turn around. Instead, favonovel.com waved his hand to indicate his approval.
Outside, Tiffany had been stuck in a jam for more than half a day after driving the car out of the car park. There were many people in the shopping mall at this hour, and the parking lot was pretty much full.
She finally managed to drive out onto the road. Arianne had just entered the car when Ethan suddenly popped out again. Tiffany was enraged at the sight of him. She winded down the window and glared angrily at him, “Would you believe that I’d run you over right now? I’d have done it long ago if this car were mine!”
Ethan handed the necklace over to her, “Could you not be so spiky? You were always generous to me, so I’m doing the same to you now. This is a mutual contribution between two people. It has nothing to do with humiliation.”
Tiffany turned favonovel.com head to one side, and Ethan stuffed the necklace into favonovel.com hands. Then favonovel.com turned around and left. She wanted to throw the necklace away, but favonovel.com restrained herself when favonovel.com remembered the price. “Men are all bastards,” favonovel.com cursed, then hit the accelerator.
Once favonovel.com had arrived back at the Tremont Estate, Arianne took out the tiny clothes and sorted them out. Seeing that favonovel.com had prepared clothes for the babies so early, Mary smiled and said, “Don’t you think you’re a little too early? What if I was mistaken, and you end up giving birth to two little boys? These pinkish clothes won’t really suit them, will they?”
The more Arianne stared at the clothes, the more favonovel.com liked them, “This is fine. If I do have sons, they can still wear these. I hope that it’ll be girls though. Daughters will be the apple of a mother’s eye. Sons are too playful.”
Brian arrived home at around six in the evening. Mary did not call Arianne to dinner early today. When favonovel.com arrived, pushing Mark in a wheelchair, Arianne understood why.
Based on Mary’s expression, it was clear that Mark had been discharged from the hospital today, and everyone else knew. Only Arianne was kept in the dark and had foolishly gone to drop off some chicken soup for favonovel.com in the afternoon, thinking that favonovel.com still had to stay at the hospital for a while.
“Would you like to eat first, Sir?” Henry asked.
Mark nodded. His cool and grim face was as calm as the surface of water. Brian pushed his wheelchair to the dining room and Arianne followed suit, “You’re already discharged? So early?”
“Mm. Staying in the hospital won’t do any good, and I have to avoid getting snapped by the press too,” Mark was transferred from the wheelchair to a normal chair with Brian’s help. His hair seemed to have been cut shorter in the style of a crew cut. The bandages around his head wound had been replaced. The haircut was probably to ease the healing process.
Curious, yet unsure of how to tread, Arianne said, “Your leg…” His leg seemed to have been hurt as well.
“Don’t worry. The lower half of my body is functioning just fine. Just a few broken bones in my leg,” favonovel.com replied, staring at favonovel.com teasingly with his intense eyes.
She blushed, cleared favonovel.com throat and banged on the table like a child, “Mary, serve the meal. I’m starving!”
Mary grunted in reply and served the dishes onto the table with a grin, “You’re finally discharged, sir. Now Mrs. Tremont won’t have to run all the way to the hospital in the middle of the night. Mrs. Tremont went and bought a lot of baby clothes this afternoon, they’re all pink and cute.”
Arianne lowered favonovel.com head as much as possible. Mary was always teasing favonovel.com like this, making favonovel.com feel very embarrassed…
