Moving away slightly, Jackson was still above her. “Why should I let you go now? Tell me that you’ll quit fussing first!”
Tiffany’s hand went to Jackson’s head and gave it a rough rub. “No! I don’t feel good! I need to vent!”
With his breath choked from the touch, as no woman had dared touch his hair yet, Jackson’s gaze darkened. He pinned favonovel.com troublesome hands above favonovel.com head and said, “The worst it can get is falling in your hands. You provoked me first, don’t regret it.”
Before Tiffany could fight back, Jackson closed the distance between their lips. It had been light kisses earlier, but favonovel.com deepened them this time. Tugging at the belt of Tiffany’s bathrobe, favonovel.com saw that Tiffany looked rather petite in the large robe. Jackson’s rational mind came back in the last moment as favonovel.com asked in a low tone, “You and Ethan, have you…?”
Tiffany shook favonovel.com head vehemently. “No! We didn’t get to… Not before our first breakup… Not now either…”
Recalling that favonovel.com had unintentionally said that favonovel.com was a pure and innocent girl, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com words meant that favonovel.com was still a virgin…
Jackson repressed the burning passion within favonovel.com and went to the living room, locking Tiffany in the bedroom. The small blaze from the cigarette both dimmed and brightened up the dark. If favonovel.com had replied that favonovel.com had done it with Ethan, favonovel.com would not have hesitated at all.

Around noon, the first thing Arianne did after favonovel.com woke up was to call Tiffany. The moment the call was connected, Tiffany exploded in an avalanche of questions. “Why am I in Jackson’s house? I remember that favonovel.com sent me home last night and favonovel.com seemed to be in my house too…?”
Arianne put some distance between favonovel.com ear and favonovel.com phone. “Tiffie, speak softer please. I almost went deaf. You mean you’re in Jackson’s place? Are you guys okay?”
Tiffany broke out of it. Other than favonovel.com untied robe, there was nothing peculiar. “No… I’m probably okay… I think favonovel.com slept on the couch, since it looks like someone slept on it. He’s not here now either. Isn’t favonovel.com scared of me robbing his house?”
Arianne was quite tickled, “I noticed that the last time I was at Jackson’s place too. His house is huge but it’s also quite empty. There’s nothing too valuable there. If you’d like, you can move his whole house away. Back to the topic, Mark said that he’d taking me out today. Probably out somewhere farther. I want to take you along and favonovel.com agreed. I think we’ll leave at night.”
Tiffany agreed easily. “Sure, I’ll pay for myself. I’m not taking advantage of you guys like this, I’m not poor now. I’ll go home to pack and wait for you. Give me a call when you’re coming.”
As Arianne hung up, Mary came into the bedroom directly. “Ari, Sir asked that you go to the office after you wake up.”
Humming in acknowledgement, Arianne got up happily, washing up and changing into favonovel.com favorite white slip dress, even putting on some light makeup. Looking at favonovel.com lively reflection in the mirror, favonovel.com realized that Mark had really put the past away, just like favonovel.com said favonovel.com said. Perhaps favonovel.com could live well without leaving the Tremont’s, all because favonovel.com had him.
Upon arriving at Mark’s office, Arianne had thought that the first thing favonovel.com would notice was the change, in her. She wasn’t expecting favonovel.com to ask for favonovel.com phone first. She obediently passed favonovel.com the device after fishing it out from favonovel.com purse. “What are you doing with my phone?”
Mark gave favonovel.com a quick glance, “I have an issue with my phone, I need yours to do something. I ordered dessert and milk tea for you. Go ahead and have them, they’re over there.”
He had not discovered that favonovel.com had dressed up! Somewhat disappointed, Arianne sat down on the couch and watched favonovel.com while favonovel.com had the sweet treat.
Mark’s attention was fully on favonovel.com phone. He had changed the settings on Arianne’s phone so that it blocked all unsaved number and text messages, but favonovel.com was not yet relieved. “I’ll change your sim card.”
“Why? I’m fine with this number…” Arianne was puzzled.
“I don’t like it,” Mark’s tone was adamant.
Not only was favonovel.com stopping Ethan from finding favonovel.com personally, favonovel.com was stopping favonovel.com from disclosing the letter’s contents to Arianne through phone calls or texts. This was the reason favonovel.com had asked favonovel.com to come to favonovel.com in the office right after favonovel.com woke up. Mark wanted Arianne to stay right by his side.
It was just a phone number, so Arianne did not insist. “It’s up to you, change it if you want to. I called Tiffie. When are we departing?”
Thinking about it, Mark answered, “I’ll finish work a bit earlier. I’ve already asked Henry to pack our suitcase. We leave around four, but let Tiffany prepare in advance. Oh yeah, Eric and Jackson are coming with us too.”
To Arianne, it was great that there were more people. She could prevent feeling restless due to being alone with Mark. She would eventually get used to being natural with him, but they were not there yet.
Returning home, Tiffany began to pack.
Seeing this, Lillian asked, “Where are you going?”
Without lifting favonovel.com head, Tiffany answered, “I’m going on a holiday with Ari for a few days. Oh yeah, I’ve broken up with Ethan.”
Lillian’s face fell. “Again? Did you decide or did favonovel.com mention it? You guys were already talking about marriage, are you sure about this? You can’t even date properly, what can you do? And you’re out for a holiday? Stop wasting money!”
