Arianne was at a loss. She had suddenly left the Tremont Estate and was now unsure of where to go, “I… I don’t know what to do… Just drop me off at a hotel. I’ll grab my luggage bag from Tiffany’s and stay at a hotel for the time being.”
Jackson pursed his lips. He paused in thought then suggested, “Stay at my place. It’ll be risky for you to stay in a hotel all by yourself. This doesn’t really seem appropriate either, but it’s the best idea we have, given the circumstances.”
She nodded. She didn’t want to give Jackson any more trouble at a time like this. If anything were to happen to favonovel.com in the hotel, Jackson would end up worrying about favonovel.com too.
In the Tremont Estate, Mark stood in front of the French windows in the living room, watching Arianne as favonovel.com followed Jackson into his car then disappeared from view. His gaze lingered for a long time. At a time like this, favonovel.com was the only one who wasn’t allowed to be near her…
After a lengthy moment, favonovel.com took out his phone and sent a message to Jackson: Take care of favonovel.com for me.
Suddenly, something soft and furry brushed against his leg. He lowered his head. It was Rice Ball rubbing against his trouser leg, fishing for his favor.
He slowly bent down and stroked its furry little head, “From now on, it’s just you and me.”
Mary, who had just arrived in the living room, saw this. Her eyes glistened with tears, “Mr. Tremont… It’s time for breakfast. You haven’t slept the entire night. Not even the strongest man can hold out that long. Have something to eat, then rest for today. Don’t dive into work. I may not be aware of what’s happened between you and Mrs. Tremont, but you’ve been together for so many years. How can it end like this? Have a good rest then bring favonovel.com home.”
Mark closed his eyes ever so slightly, “I’ve lost her. I can’t bring favonovel.com home.”

Plain Mountain Creek Villa
Tiffany was startled awake from a nightmare. She curled herself up into a ball in bed in silence. Regardless of how pretty the scenery outside the window was, favonovel.com was in no mood to look at it. She was dressed in a black satin nightgown, which set off favonovel.com fair skin and made it look even paler. It also brought out the bruises all over favonovel.com body, making them even more obvious.
Soon, the room door was pushed open. She stared at the visitor. Her eyes naturally clouded over with hatred, “How long do you plan on keeping me here?”
Ethan placed a bowl of oatmeal on the cabinet next to the top of the bed, “I just think.. that it’s been a while since we’ve really spent some time together. I really miss times like this.”
He could use the most deep and affectionate words in the universe, but favonovel.com would still consider them a joke and feel utterly disgusted, “You miss it? Don’t make me puke. What the hell do you want?”
His expression showed no signs of hurt. At this stage, favonovel.com no longer expected favonovel.com to be amiable to him, “I know that you hate me. if love isn’t possible, then hate isn’t so bad. I’ll release you in half a month on one condition, you have to get along with me during this period of time.”
His words made favonovel.com feel uncomfortable from top to bottom, “Are you sick?”
He didn’t seem to be bothered by favonovel.com choice of words. He pulled out a medical balm from the drawer underneath the bedside cabinet, “Come closer, I’ll apply some ointment for you. This will help speed up the healing process of your wounds. Otherwise, you might end up staying here for longer than half a month.”
All Tiffany wanted was for favonovel.com to leave this place. After a bout of hesitation, favonovel.com agreed to apply the medicine. However, favonovel.com did not want favonovel.com touching her, “Give the medicine to me. I’ll do it myself.”
Ethan handed the medical balm over to favonovel.com but showed no signs of leaving. Feeling annoyed, favonovel.com frowned and said, “Are you going to just sit here and watch?”
“It’s not like I haven’t seen it,” favonovel.com replied calmly. Then, his expression sank. He suddenly remembered everything that favonovel.com had encountered in that shack. He had seen favonovel.com body, they did not go through with the final step. In the end, unfortunately… Humans are fortune’s fools.
Seeing how reluctant favonovel.com was in applying the medicine, favonovel.com sat down on the side of the bed, “I’ve told you. Live with me in harmony for half a month and let go of all the conflict you have against me, or I will never let you go!”
Tiffany gritted favonovel.com teeth, endured his gaze, and began applying the medicine from favonovel.com cheeks to favonovel.com neck, then to favonovel.com collarbones and arms. When favonovel.com finally arrived at favonovel.com thighs, favonovel.com was forced to pull up favonovel.com nightgown. However, favonovel.com couldn’t do it. “Could you not stare at me? Or are you going to make claims, saying that you don’t find me dirty at all and that you still have those kinds of urges towards me?”
Her eyes brimmed with tears as favonovel.com said those words, but favonovel.com forced herself to hold them back.
A hint of guilt flashed across his face and favonovel.com turned his head to the side, “I don’t think that you’re dirty at all. I don’t mind whatever happened to your body…” Furthermore… He would always be with her, just like this, if favonovel.com wanted. However, favonovel.com couldn’t bring himself to say these words. He knew favonovel.com very well. She would never be with him. It was impossible now.
She smirked, “Yes, that’s right. You don’t have the right to call out my filth because it’s all your fault!”
He didn’t object. It was true, even though favonovel.com didn’t mean for it to happen.
He waited for favonovel.com to finish applying the medicine, then picked up the oatmeal on the bedside cabinet and pushed it towards her, “Here, have something to eat.” She stared at the fine, mushy, light brown oatmeal in the bowl. Suddenly, favonovel.com covered favonovel.com mouth, leaned forward on the bed, and retched, “Get out! I’m not eating!”
He seemed to have realized something. He turned towards the door and bellowed, “Take this oatmeal away. Change it to something else!”
