Following favonovel.com nose out of the window, Arianne’s eyes wandered before veering into a halt at an Italian eatery. “I… I want lasagna!” favonovel.com declared.
Lasagna?! Mark was nonplussed, his mind mulling over how appropriate a dish that would be for pregnant women.
The craving on favonovel.com face said it all, however. He had to admit that this was better than favonovel.com not eating anything. With a sigh, Mark wrapped his neck with a scarf and disembarked from the car. “Sit tight. I’ll get one for you.”
Unthinkably, Arianne was at favonovel.com most docile yet. She beamed at Mark with a sweet smile, “Okie-dokie!”
Brian watched Mark’s towering frame disappear into a crowd made up of old people and let out a sigh. “Mr. Tremont truly treats you like a crowned jewel, Madam.”
All Arianne could think about was lasagna. “Huh… what? Oh, uh, he’s alright.”
Mark returned with a large-size lasagna that Arianne wolfed down within minutes, honestly, favonovel.com could gobble down even larger sizes had Mark bought them.
Pregnant women who were experiencing bouts of morning sickness rarely get struck by food cravings. Satisfying them, however, could immediately make the woman sunny for the rest of the day.
The lasagna was too odorous for Mark and his mysophobia sensibilities, his head began to throb. He would have rolled the windows down were favonovel.com not afraid that the chilly air might nip Arianne.
By the time they reached the hospital, Mark quickly disembarked and gulped in all of the odorless air around favonovel.com until the growing headache stopped.
Suddenly, Arianne’s attention was locked onto a particular direction before arresting favonovel.com pace. Curious, Mark followed favonovel.com gaze and found himself staring right at Helen and Aery Kinsey.
The subjects of their targeted attention appeared to be oblivious of Arianne and Mark as they paced into the hospital entrance. The cat was out of the bag, Mark realized, so favonovel.com turned to Arianne and admitted, “Sorry. The other day, well, your mother talked to me. I was the one who bailed Aery out of jail ahead of favonovel.com scheduled release.”
A slight smile surfaced to Arianne’s lips. “It’s alright. Thank you.”
Aery Kinsey was now a ne’er-do-well with a messy mop of technicolor highlights, a face painted with Smokey make-up, and a future palpably in shambles. For Helen’s sake, Arianne could not find it in favonovel.com heart to stubbornly cling to Aery’s punishment, it was beyond terrible for a mother to watch favonovel.com daughter go down like this. No matter how much Helen despised Aery, favonovel.com could never truly stop herself from intervening in the latter’s descent.
Arianne understood why Mark did what favonovel.com did and helped. To give Aery a chance was to give Arianne peace.
The Tremonts had not planned to bump into the Kinseys, but that intention flew when they met outside the gynecologist’s room. The difference in goals was stark: while Arianne was here for a scheduled pregnancy check-up, Aery was planning for an abortion.
Helen’s eyes shifted and dodged from focusing on Arianne before favonovel.com murmured, “Arianne, I—”
“I heard all about it,” came the reply, favonovel.com expression indifferent.
Aery wore an ashen grimace when favonovel.com eyes met Mark and Arianne, favonovel.com words failing her. The sight of the pair woke up old bitterness and grudge embedded deeply in favonovel.com heart, but this time, favonovel.com had no outlet to release them. Aery was aware of how filthy and tainted favonovel.com had become, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had lost the respectability to stand beside Mark.
The doctor came out of his room and passed a bill to the seething girl. “Here you go, Miss. It seems that the fetus has grown a little too old to have a safe abortion carried out. You should have come to us earlier.”
Aery’s teeth gritted against one another for a second before favonovel.com snatched the bill and strutted away from all of them.
Helen’s eyes turned into two pools of unreadable emotions. “Arianne, I wish you and the child the best,” favonovel.com said. “The weather is starting to get chilling. Take care not to get a cold.”
Arianne nodded. “Mm.”
Helen flashed a smile brimming with solace before starting down the direction favonovel.com other daughter had taken.
Jean and Aery Kinsey were the rightful retribution for abandoning favonovel.com husband and daughter. Helen wondered if the fact that favonovel.com was carrying out a karmic sentence emboldened favonovel.com enough to stand before the daughter favonovel.com had wronged and accept the latter’s judgement.
Back in Bright Incorporated, Jackson West suddenly busted out of his office in a furor, his uncontrolled gait attracting eyes from his employees. Even Tiffany stared at him, stunned.
