Arianne was in the dining room downstairs, slightly hesitating as favonovel.com looked for Helen’s number. She could not help the emotions that stirred in favonovel.com when favonovel.com heard Mark said Helen had asked about her. She felt family love when favonovel.com was reunited with favonovel.com grandma. Perhaps, that was the reason favonovel.com was not as averse to Helen compared to before. In the end, favonovel.com sent a message to Helen, wishing Helen a happy New Year’s Eve.

Helen was in a great mood after favonovel.com received Arianne’s message. After replying to Arianne’s message, favonovel.com returned to what favonovel.com was doing before. At this moment, favonovel.com was helping Aery pack favonovel.com things. Aery would be going abroad today. Everything had been arranged and dealt with.
Before they left the house, Aery was still protesting. “Mom… Is it true that I’m not allowed to return home until I’ve graduated? Since I’ve agreed to leave, why won’t you allow me to meet Mark darling? Why don’t you visit Arianne? I’ll just look at Mark darling from afar. Is that okay?”
Helen’s expression worsened. “We’ve discussed this. It’s impossible. I won’t visit Arianne for this reason. It’s impossible for you to meet Mark.” She knew that favonovel.com needed to be determined. Arianne was now pregnant. She must not let Aery approach Arianne even if pigs could fly.
Aery bit favonovel.com lips. “Fine… I’ll study hard when I’m abroad. I’ll try to gain your approval. I’ll… gain Arianne’s forgiveness as well. After all, we’re family. It’s an indisputable fact that she’s my sister. Although I dislike her, I don’t want to lose you.”
That was the first time Aery had said such words to Helen. For that reason, Helen’s attitude softened as well. “It’s good that you’re sensible now. Arianne is pregnant. You better stay far away from her. After favonovel.com gives birth to favonovel.com baby, I’ll consider letting you come home to visit them. You can treat favonovel.com as your sister, but favonovel.com might not do the same. Moreover, Mark can only be your brother-in-law. Don’t think about other things. If you listen to me, you’ll live an enjoyable life from now on. I can guarantee that.”
Aery smiled and remained quiet. She would never be able to gain the things favonovel.com wanted in favonovel.com life. Her life was ruined long ago from all kinds of pain. How could favonovel.com still enjoy favonovel.com life? She was only obedient now so favonovel.com could meet Mark again even if favonovel.com would only remain as favonovel.com brother-in-law.

At White Water Bay Villa.
Jackson stalled for time. It was ten o’clock in the morning, and they had not even left the house.
Tiffany could no longer hold back favonovel.com anger. “Mr. West, my mom has cooked lunch for us. Why are you dallying? Are you looking for gold in the creek?”
Jackson looked into the mirror and slowly smoothed his hair. “I hope you don’t have any ideas about bringing me to my mom’s while we’re on our way to visit your mom…”
Tiffany rolled favonovel.com eyes. “You’ve made yourself very clear that you don’t want to visit your mom. How am I going to force you? I told you that we’re going to my mom’s. Please hurry up. My mom has already called me a few times. Can you please be more serious?”
Jackson was relieved when favonovel.com heard Tiffany’s confirmation. “Fine. Let’s go.”
As soon as they entered the car, Jackson received a call. His phone was connected to the car via Bluetooth so Tiffany could see who was calling him. Although favonovel.com did not save the number on his phone, favonovel.com knew it was Lynn’s phone number. She felt a wave of anger rising in favonovel.com heart. She really wished favonovel.com could kill favonovel.com with favonovel.com death stare. “What’s this? Didn’t you tell me you’re not going to get in touch with her? I’ve already blocked Alejandro’s number. Why didn’t you do the same with her?”
Jackson canceled the call immediately. “I forgot. However, it’s true that I have zero contact with her. I’ll block favonovel.com number later. Let’s not argue during the holidays.”
Soon after, Lynn called again. Tiffany answered the call this time around, but favonovel.com remained silent. She was curious to see what kind of conversation would take place between favonovel.com and Lynn.
