Jackson truly couldn’t bring himself to smile at all. He pulled favonovel.com into his arms, “It’s alright. I’m not angry at you. Don’t overthink it. I knew that my mother called him, but I never expected for favonovel.com to actually show up and so soon too. I was kind of hoping that he’d never come back, I’ve always treated favonovel.com as if favonovel.com were dead. It wouldn’t be too bad if favonovel.com really did come back to live a peaceful life with my mom, but favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to take it if favonovel.com leaves again.”
Tiffany was at a loss for words, “I’m not really good at comforting people. You should probably try to calm down though. I’ll go and wash off my makeup and get showered. Since you haven’t slept since yesterday, you should get an early night in. I still have to search for a job tomorrow.”
She had just gotten up when Jackson pulled favonovel.com back, “Let’s shower together…”
Tiffany blushed from his advances, “What I’m not used to that. Let’s shower separately. I’ll be done very soon.”
Jackson refused to comply. He carried favonovel.com into the bathroom, turned on the shower head, and pushed favonovel.com up against the smooth wall.
The gradually warm water trickled down from both their bodies then slid all the way down to the ground. Soon, a white mist engulfed the bathroom mirror, which reflected a blurry image for their intertwined bodies…
He never spoke to favonovel.com about anything that upset favonovel.com and always displayed a frivolous look on his face, as if nothing really mattered to him, acting as if everything was just fine. Who knew how much pain weighed on his mind?
The pair finally collapsed on the bed, late in the night.
“Let’s have a baby.”
Tiffany shivered, “Isn’t it a little too early? I’m only twenty. Everything will change once we have a baby. My world would revolve around the kid, and I won’t have any free time. Did you lose control, just to get me pregnant? Let me tell you this, I’m not done with living my life. No way!”
Jackson lowered his head and kissed favonovel.com on the lips, “Don’t worry. You can focus on giving birth, I’ll take care of the baby. If it’s freedom you want, you can have it….”
At the end of the matter, Jackson got up and realized that Tiffany had fallen asleep. That explained why favonovel.com hadn’t made a sound, no matter what favonovel.com said. He pinched favonovel.com plump cheeks indulgently and got down from the bed gently to smoke in the living room. He unlocked his phone and found a new message, it was from the DNA department.
He hesitated for just a short moment. After a bout of hesitation, favonovel.com decided to open the message. He heaved a sigh of relief when favonovel.com saw the paternity results, favonovel.com was not the father of Georgina’s baby. That $180,000 that favonovel.com had given really was used to get rid of a nagging problem. He couldn’t be bothered to get that money back and considered it his bill for his preposterous past.
He deleted the message and sent a message to inform Mark of the results. Mark was still awake when favonovel.com received that message. He did not reply to the message and simply smiled.
When Mark lifted his gaze and looked out the window, favonovel.com saw the tree that happened to be placed right outside his bedroom window. Its leaves seemed to have yellowed. Had the tree aged, or had autumn arrived? This winter, Arianne was far away from him, once again. He wondered if favonovel.com had received the package favonovel.com had sent her.
***
The next morning, Arianne was woken up by a call from the express delivery man. She yawned as favonovel.com walked to the door to sign for the package. When favonovel.com saw the mid-sized package that came from the capital, favonovel.com knew that it was from Mark. However, favonovel.com did not know what was inside the package…
He had stopped sending favonovel.com flowers, so favonovel.com thought that favonovel.com had finally begun to listen to her. Then, what in the world was this?
She opened the package to find an exquisite black gift box that was wrapped with a ribbon. However, there was no brand on it. This couldn’t be an expensive item, could it? She opened the box hesitatingly, ready to refuse the item if it turned out to be expensive. However, favonovel.com was perplexed when favonovel.com saw the gift inside, it was a dreamcatcher, delicately laced with white feathers, with a transparent crystal around the size of a thumb hanging in the middle of its weave. There seemed to be some kind of fine white-grey powder sealed in the crystal.
She held up the dreamcatcher and scrutinized it. This would be a nice decoration to hang above favonovel.com bed. However, favonovel.com wasn’t sure if it was expensive. As favonovel.com closed the box, favonovel.com found a card at the bottom of it, with Mark’s handwriting: ‘I’m sorry, it’s my fault that Rice Ball’s left you. It’ll always be with you from now on, catching all of your nightmares. I believe that it will be very happy to be able to stay by your side forever.’
