When Arianne emerged from the ultrasound room, favonovel.com stepped forward to support her. “How was it? What did the doctor say?”
Arianne showed favonovel.com the report. “Why does the baby look ugly to me? The doctor said that the little one’s developments are normal and that it’s pretty healthy. It’s hitting all the milestones really well… Hands and legs are well developed, but… it really looks ugly. This is a picture from the 3D ultrasound so I guess that it can be considered as the baby’s first picture…”
Mark stared at the 3D ultrasound picture and frowned. “Maybe… it’ll look better once it’s born? Everything probably looks ugly in the tummy, right? Don’t worry. As long as the baby is safely delivered, that’s more than enough. Even if it’s ugly, there’s no way we won’t love it. It’s our baby after all.”
Arianne’s lips twitched. “Although you’re telling me to stay optimistic, the frown on your face says otherwise. Are you feeling disgusted inwardly?”
He was momentarily speechless. He was the product of the Tremont family’s genetics, and Arianne was not bad-looking either. Who would have thought their child would look so ugly in the ultrasound picture? He could only pray that it would look better once it came into the world.
He dropped Arianne off at the entrance of Tremont Estate. For the first time ever since Arianne had gotten pregnant, favonovel.com did not get out of the car. He instantly told Brian to drive favonovel.com to the office.
Zoey’s husband was already waiting for favonovel.com in the office. He was sitting on the couch in Mark’s office looking pompous. He even propped his legs on the coffee table.
Mark’s germaphobe tendencies began to prickle when favonovel.com saw the mud on the soles of Zoey’s husband’s shoes. His expression darkened instantly. “Do you know where you are? Don’t you know basic etiquettes?”
Zoey’s husband simply removed his legs from the table. He looked like a pig, unafraid of boiling water. “I’m close to starving every day. Why should I bother with etiquette? It’s all your fault! That woman, Zoey, is insisting on divorcing me, claiming that I killed favonovel.com mother. I don’t want to lose both money and life. She’s determined to divorce me so you better give me some money. If I have money, it doesn’t matter if favonovel.com wants to divorce me. I’m not foolish like her, refusing money. I want the money. She can act as noble as favonovel.com wants, I’ll take the money and live my life. We can all live our lives.”
Mark forced down the urge to throttle favonovel.com to death. He took a deep breath. “How much do you want?”
Zoey’s husband chuckled insidiously. “I’ve already calculated the bill, and I’ve told you the amount I want. Now… there’s an additional fee for my silence. Give however much you think it’s worth. Arianne’s belly should be pretty big by now. I heard that favonovel.com health isn’t very good. Pregnant women shouldn’t be worried, angry, or sad, right? If favonovel.com finds out of the old lady’s death, I don’t think she’ll be able to take it…”
Davy, Mark’s secretary, was sitting right next to them so favonovel.com heard the entire conversation. Despite being in the dark, favonovel.com could not bear to watch this any longer. “Hang on, you’re just threatening us, aren’t you? Do you have any self-awareness? How shameless!”
Mark lifted his hand. “Davy, the cheque book, please.”
Davy did not expect Mark to comply. However, favonovel.com obediently followed Mark’s instructions despite his misgivings.
Mark put the cheque in front of Zoey’s husband. “See for yourself. I’m hoping this is the last time I’ll ever see your face again.”
That cheque was the only thing that Zoey’s husband could see. He was not even listening to Mark at that moment. Dollar signs flashed in his eyes when favonovel.com saw 750,000 dollars written on the check. “This amount is small potatoes to you, isn’t it?”
