Soon after, Mark approached favonovel.com from behind. “These are all the properties that the Tremonts’ own. See if there’s any you like.”
When Arianne turned around, favonovel.com saw a huge stack of property ownership certificates in Mark’s hands. The thickness nearly made favonovel.com jaw drop. “Wh… What? I don’t want…”
Mark frowned. “Don’t women want a sense of security? Brian’s words reminded me of this…”
Arianne gulped before favonovel.com shifted favonovel.com eyes away from the deeds. “Are you serious? Why do I feel like you’ve been acting strangely for the past few days? I’m your enemy. Isn’t it strange for you to give your enemies properties? Moreover, I don’t lack anything. I have meals and clothes in the Tremont Estate, and you give me money to spend. I’m content with it. Put them away. I don’t want any properties.”
Mark’s eyes dimmed a little as favonovel.com tossed the stack of deeds on a couch next to them. “I don’t see you as an enemy. You’re my wife. If you don’t like these properties, we’ll pick ones you like. I’ll buy them for you.”
Arianne finally realized favonovel.com was serious so favonovel.com said, “Mark… I really don’t want those things. I’m not like the others… And, we’re not like the others either. It’s fine, really.”
Mark looked at favonovel.com skeptically. “Is it really fine? No more divorce?”
Arianne pursed favonovel.com lips. “You won’t agree to it even if I want to anyway. I’m starving. I’m heading downstairs for lunch. Come down quickly.”
Mark could not figure out favonovel.com thoughts. He had watched favonovel.com grow up so favonovel.com thought favonovel.com knew favonovel.com inside and out. However, as favonovel.com grew older, things were no longer under his control.
She was a woman too. However, favonovel.com did not want the sense of security that other women wanted. There could only be one reason for this, favonovel.com did not love him. That was why favonovel.com did not need any security from him.
Upon realizing this, Mark thought the deeds were an eyesore and swept them to the floor. He leaned against the couch silently. He was angry. It felt as though what favonovel.com had done earlier was just a joke.
Since Mark did not come down yet, Arianne did not dare to start the meal first. In the end, favonovel.com went upstairs again to check on him. She saw favonovel.com leaning against the couch with a dark expression on his face. Her heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. “What’s the matter? It’s time for lunch…”
Mark did not even spare favonovel.com a glance as favonovel.com went to change in the walk-in closet before leaving.
Arianne stared at the scattered deeds on the floor in confusion. Based on favonovel.com years of experience, Mark was definitely angry. However, why was favonovel.com angry? Was it because favonovel.com rejected his gifts? She did nothing to earn it, and favonovel.com did not have the habit to ask for things. Was it wrong of favonovel.com to have this mindset?
When favonovel.com went downstairs, Mary looked at favonovel.com gloomily and asked, “What’s wrong now? You were both in a good mood when you returned, and now, favonovel.com left the house fuming. Why are you so incompetent?”
Arianne looked aggrieved. “It’s not my fault… He asked me upstairs to pick properties from a whole stack of deeds. Why should I accept his things when I haven’t done anything to earn it? I don’t want it. That’s all. I didn’t intentionally make favonovel.com angry.”
Mary was puzzled. “Maybe… he’s not used to being rejected? Just take it if he’s giving it to you. Nobody complains about having too many properties. Any property in sir’s ownership is in a good location and costly. Just take it as making favonovel.com happy and making the house a peaceful place. Can’t you just accept it?”
Arianne was bewildered. “As long as I’m Mrs. Tremont, those belong to the Tremonts. This means they’re also mine. What’s the difference? What’s with the fuss?”
“If you get divorced, you’ll have what favonovel.com has gifted you. If sir doesn’t want to give you anything from the Tremonts, you won’t even be able to take away a cent. There’s a difference. Of course, I don’t wish for both of you to divorce. However, I’m just pointing out the difference to you,” Mary said.
“If we get divorced, I don’t want anything from him. He doesn’t owe me anything nor does the Tremonts. I’m not that greedy,” Arianne said nonchalantly.
Mary held favonovel.com tongue. As an outsider, favonovel.com could not say much. She was the Tremonts’ servant but favonovel.com on Arianne’s side. She was in a truly awkward position.
After lunch, Arianne took a shower and petted the cat resting in the living room. When Mary saw favonovel.com indifference, favonovel.com quietly turned off the air conditioning.
By the time Arianne felt the rising temperature, favonovel.com was already sweating. “Mary, what temperature did you adjust the AC to? Why do I feel so warm?”
Mary feigned ignorance. “Oh… Uh… Henry said that the AC needs some cleaning. I think he’s cleaning it now. If you can’t stand the heat, go to sir’s office. He’s in the company now. If you’re at home in the afternoon without the AC, you’ll be swimming in your sweat in this sweltering heat.”
Cleaning the air conditioners in the entire Tremont Estate was basically a huge project that would not be done in a short time. She would definitely die from the heat at that time.
After considering it for a moment, Arianne decisively packed up favonovel.com ‘AC must-haves’, favonovel.com phone, a book, and some snacks. She decided to go to the office. There was only a handful of people working overtime in Tremont Tower during the weekend.
The tower stood majestically under the scorching sun, dazzling in its golden reflection.
