This was a particularly difficult problem. Arianne didn’t want to see the disappointment on Mary’s face, but favonovel.com couldn’t possibly stay, “I’ll be back, Mary.”
Tiffany sat herself down on the newly-made bed, “Don’t mind her, Mary. Your Mr. Tremont is a jerk. It’s no wonder Ari is giving favonovel.com the cold shoulder. Ari will stay when the time is right.”
Mary sighed, “Henry asked me to ask the question. He doesn’t like talking and is a cold individual. He’s similar to Mr. Tremont in that sense. However, he’s not entirely cold. He’s still pretty humane. I’m not saying a word, since that’s the case. You should visit more often, Ari. I hope you’ll stay forever next time and live with Mr. Tremont. This house feels so lifeless without you.”
Arianne thought of how Mark had fallen sick after a long period of over exhaustion and had suddenly collapsed. This matter had really disturbed her. Her heart had softened long ago. When favonovel.com found out that favonovel.com hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time, favonovel.com was shocked. She never expected to have such a great influence over him. This was probably the greatest revenge and torture that anyone could ever experience. The problem would never be solved if favonovel.com avoided favonovel.com for the rest of favonovel.com life. She had to reevaluate favonovel.com relationship with Mark and think it over carefully.
Arianne kept Tanya company over the next few days, even in bed. Mark did not dare object to this. This was still considered reasonable. He finally lost it when Arianne was packed up and ready to leave, “Can’t you stay a few more days?”
Arianne only hesitated for one second, “No. I’ve stayed long enough.”
Mark snatched favonovel.com luggage away, “Leave tomorrow. I’ll send you off to the airport tomorrow. It’s decided.”
“Ari, how about we leave tomorrow instead?” Tanya advised. “It’s not like we’ll lose out on one more day. We haven’t bought our plane tickets anyway…”
Arianne was afraid of getting dragged along by favonovel.com hesitation, so favonovel.com pulled Mark aside to talk to favonovel.com in their bedroom, “I’ve really got to go. This is not a discussion. I’m only informing you. Stop making it difficult for me. We’ve agreed.”
It wasn’t easy for their relationship to progress to this steady stage and for them to face each other calmly like this. Mark was well aware of that, so favonovel.com did not urge her. Instead, favonovel.com pulled favonovel.com into his arms, closely against him, “I don’t want you to go.”
Arianne did not reject his intimate act, “You can come and visit me when you have the time. You’d better sleep while I’m away. You’re an adult. Don’t get all helpless.”
“What do you mean? Am I too old for you now?” favonovel.com objected, “Shouldn’t you be well aware of whether I’m too old or not?” He slid his hand down favonovel.com shirt as favonovel.com spoke.
Arianne gasped. The warmth from his hand made favonovel.com heart race. She nearly surrendered. She held onto favonovel.com last sliver of sobriety and pushed favonovel.com away. “Enough, I’m leaving,” favonovel.com smiled sweetly. Then, favonovel.com tried favonovel.com best to recollect herself and resolutely left the Tremont Estate.
She had to admit, the thought of refusing favonovel.com did not cross favonovel.com mind. If favonovel.com were that compliant, favonovel.com would never be able to leave. Wasn’t that terrifying? Humans are contradictory by nature. She obviously loved favonovel.com and couldn’t bear to leave him, yet favonovel.com insisted on leaving anyway. She couldn’t stop now. She needed time.

She had returned to favonovel.com quiet little condominium. She huddled on the couch, staring into space for the entire afternoon. Mark had a reason for releasing favonovel.com so easily, favonovel.com did not take the old woman with her. She left favonovel.com with some control.
She simply cooked herself a bowl of noodles for dinner. She was alone anyway and wasn’t that fussy. She had to start work tomorrow, so favonovel.com went to bed very early after favonovel.com meal. This trip back to the capital had brought many changes in favonovel.com emotions. She had to fix them as soon as possible.
After some unknown amount of time, favonovel.com was awakened by a slew of knocks on the door. She did not check the time and felt that it was probably still early so favonovel.com opened the door without a second thought. Before favonovel.com could get a good look at favonovel.com visitor, a figure suddenly enveloped favonovel.com and pulled favonovel.com into his arms. She nearly jumped out of favonovel.com skin. When favonovel.com smelled Mark’s unique scent, favonovel.com was in shock, “What… are you doing here?”
If favonovel.com remembered correctly, favonovel.com had just returned today. What was favonovel.com doing here?
A passionate kiss was his response. He moved from the side of favonovel.com face to the sides of favonovel.com lips. His hoarse voice purred from favonovel.com lips, “I missed you, and I was afraid of getting insomnia again, so I came.”
Even if favonovel.com had any objections at this very moment, favonovel.com didn’t show it. He had travelled 2,000 kilometers without another word, just to see her. He followed her, and the first thing favonovel.com said to favonovel.com when favonovel.com walked in was that favonovel.com missed her…
He was like a fatal trap that one could fall into unwittingly, never to come out again. In his soft pillows of gentleness, there was an unmistakable dominance.
There was only one thing on Arianne’s mind, favonovel.com had gone mad, so mad that there was no cure for it. Ever since favonovel.com had fallen for a man that favonovel.com never should have fallen for, there was no turning back. However, favonovel.com had managed to maintain some semblance of sobriety due to the boundaries from their difficult past. He, on the other hand, was now trying to overcome that boundary!
When favonovel.com woke up the next morning, Mark’s shadow had completely disappeared from the tiny condo. Rays of sunlight shone through the small gap between favonovel.com curtains. She was momentarily dazzled, as if favonovel.com had experienced an incomparably complicated dream.
