Tiffany glared at Mark. Feeling a gaze on him, Mark looked up just as Arianne quickly pushed Tiffany into the kitchen. “Go help out!”
Suddenly, Jackson’s phone, which was on the living room’s coffee table, rang. Mark picked it up for him, Summer’s loud voice came through the speaker. “You brat, what did you do with $150,000? I didn’t hear about the company needing funds recently, what did you spend it on? You aren’t up to no good, are you?”
Mark pulled the device away from his ear, feeling his eardrums crying a little. “Mrs. West, it’s me, Mark. Jackson’s busy. I know about this. He isn’t spending it unnecessarily, so don’t you worry. He’s not a kid either, and $150,000’s not a lot.”
When Summer heard Mark’s voice, favonovel.com tone became much gentler. “Oh, it’s you, Mark… Sure, I’m at ease with you watching out for him. Isn’t favonovel.com with Tiffany now? I’m just worried that he’s out with questionable women again. I can’t keep my rein on favonovel.com usually. You’re his bro, help me out. You’re already married while he’s still like that. I’m worried. I don’t usually keep an eye on his expenditure.”
After the exchange, Summer hung up in delight. When Mark put down the phone and looked up, favonovel.com met gazes with Arianne’s gentle one and was surprised. “Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?”
Arianne shifted favonovel.com gaze away awkwardly. “No, just thinking about how you can lie through your teeth while facing an elder. You didn’t even bat an eye…”
With elders mentioned, Mark asked casually, “Did your mother look for you recently?”
“No.” Arianne’s expression turned chilly subconsciously. She then made favonovel.com way into the kitchen.
After a while, favonovel.com was pushed back to the living room by both Tiffany and Jackson. “Take a break. We’ll take care of dinner.”
Arianne did not know what was up with the two of them. Tiffany was thinking about letting favonovel.com and Mark resolve the ‘baby’ issue, but why was Jackson going along with it too? She did not want to sit by Mark and chat with him. Considering favonovel.com options, favonovel.com cleaned the house. When favonovel.com got to mopping the floor in front of Mark, favonovel.com lifted his legs naturally. “Can’t you just take a break?”
She glanced at him. “I can’t sit down quietly. The laundry in the washing machine still needs to be done. I’ll go hang it. Wash the mop for me and put it back.”
Mark looked slightly affronted. He had never done chores like this, yet Arianne was ordering favonovel.com around! Nonetheless, his physical response was honest. Without even a word of complaint, favonovel.com picked up the mop and went to the washroom obediently. Until favonovel.com finished what favonovel.com was told to do, favonovel.com still had yet to figure out if a spell was casted on him…
Each of them minded their own business ‘happily’ until it was time for dinner. The first thing that Jackson did when favonovel.com picked up his cutlery was to scoop dishes into Tiffany’s plate. “Here, your favorite. Try it.”
Tiffany tasted it happily. “Not bad. Your cooking is still great. Now I’m worried that you’ll despise me after making me fat.”
Jackson was unabashed with his sweet talk, “I won’t. My goal is to make you so round and plump that others will not even look at you. Then no one will fight over you with me. I won’t dislike you. I’ll feel a sense of accomplishment to be able to feed you into a little muffin!”
Arianne and Mark shuddered simultaneously, goosebumps racking through them. They had not even started to eat, but already they had lost their appetites from the blatant display of affection.
Noticing the ‘disgust’ in their eyes, Jackson kicked Mark under the table with indignation. Understanding what favonovel.com meant, Mark copied Jackson and scooped some dishes for Arianne; however, favonovel.com could not bring himself to say anything sweet. Arianne froze and stiffly began to eat, but favonovel.com did not touch what Mark had given her, earning a frown from the latter. “It’s not like I’m poisoning you…”
Jackson thought that favonovel.com was hopeless. People said that one would be influenced by what they saw and heard. He had already demonstrated so wonderfully, but why was Mark unable to emulate it?
When Tiffany was done eating, Jackson seized the chance and pushed favonovel.com into leaving. “It’s late now. We’re going back to the hotel. Mark, clean up for Arianne. It’s a menial chore, so it won’t be a challenge for you!”
Tiffany did not manage to catch on. “What are you doing? We’re leaving when it’s not even eight yet. Let me chat with Ari…”
Her voice was soon blocked outside the door as Jackson lowered his voice and said, “Why isn’t your brain working? Let them talk in private, we shouldn’t act as the third wheel. Let’s just go.”
Tiffany finally understood. “Oh, oh… I see now. Could have told me earlier. You didn’t even notify me in advance. How am I supposed to know what you’re thinking?”
Jackson wanted to say that even if favonovel.com made eyes at favonovel.com blatantly, favonovel.com would not have understood it. Her intelligence was only enough to understand what was said explicitly. She could not catch any hints or signals. He did not dare to say this out loud, however. He would definitely be beaten up if favonovel.com did.
On the way back to the hotel, favonovel.com texted Mark. “Mark, I created the opportunity for you. You’ve got to hold tight. To catch the heart of a woman, you must first own favonovel.com body, you know? I believe that you can do it!”
