Noticing that both Mary and Mark were staring at her, Arianne looked up at them. She was slightly confused. “Why are you staring at me?”
Mark chuckled. “Nothing. I just noticed that your complexion seems rosier now, and your body has become healthier. I’m happy about that. Go ahead and enjoy your meal. Do eat more.”
Mark smiled and remained quiet. It made Arianne lose favonovel.com appetite. She felt like favonovel.com was being guarded there, being forced to increase favonovel.com weight like a pig in the pigpen. Mary even claimed that favonovel.com body had become much healthier and plumper now. She frowned and pushed the lunchbox aside. “I don’t want to eat anymore. I took my weight yesterday, and I’m 20 pounds heavier than I was a month ago. If I don’t control myself now, I might suffer from high blood pressure.”
Mark frowned. “You’ll slim down after you give birth to the baby. The doctor mentions nothing about it. You won’t get high blood pressure. Just eat more. Are you used to Jackson’s food now, so you’ve got no appetite toward others’ cooking? If favonovel.com is free, I’ll ask favonovel.com to cook for you again.”
Arianne became annoyed now. She refused to take another bite. “I don’t want to. It’s favonovel.com who helped to increase my weight indirectly. It’s quite ugly to have stretch marks. How could I bear it if I become plump? If we want to have a healthy baby, it’ll not do to feed the pregnant lady more food until favonovel.com becomes a fat lady. What I need is a healthy diet. I don’t want to eat anymore. Mary, give me an orange. Eating fruits won’t make me fat, and it’s good for the baby’s skin.”
Mary and Mark could not persuade her, so favonovel.com could only prepare a fruit platter for Arianne; as long as favonovel.com was willing to eat, even if it was only fruits.
On the other hand, Tiffany drove the car and reached favonovel.com apartment. Downstairs, favonovel.com saw Alejandro’s car. She left in the middle of a meal with favonovel.com the last time. She even promised to treat favonovel.com to a meal, but favonovel.com did not manage to pay the bill in time, so favonovel.com was rather sorry about it. She got out of the car and walked toward his car. She said in a joking manner, “Are you here to block me again? I’m sorry for what happened last time. It’s quite late today. Why don’t I treat you to a meal tomorrow? Let’s go to some fancy restaurant and enjoy a great feast. The restaurant we went to at that time was not fancy enough. It didn’t match your style. Let me compensate for it.”
Alejandro looked at favonovel.com through the window nonchalantly. “So you do know that you’re sorry for it. You left in a hurry, and you didn’t even reply to my message. It’s not late now. Come to my manor for a while. A new set of red wines just arrived. I’ll let you try it.”
Tiffany was slightly hesitant. Alejandro looked at favonovel.com car, and favonovel.com seemed to be troubled by it. “Don’t worry. I won’t take up a lot of your time. You’ll be able to reach home before 11pm. Just drive your own car. It’s not bad.”
Tiffany nodded. “Fine, I’ll go there for a while. Besides, it’s not my car. It’s my… friend’s.”
Alejandro smirked slightly. “Is it Jackson’s? You don’t have to explain yourself. People who know about it could easily guess the rest.”
Just when Tiffany was about to start the engine of the car and go with Alejandro, favonovel.com spotted a car from across the road all of a sudden. Was that not Jackson’s car? Why was favonovel.com here?
When favonovel.com returned home just now, favonovel.com was not there. He must have reached that place while favonovel.com was talking to Alejandro just now.
He once doubted that there was something going on between favonovel.com and Alejandro. She became slightly guilty. Alejandro’s car was just there right in front of her, but favonovel.com did not dare to get out of the car and speak to Alejandro. Hence, favonovel.com called him. “I’m sorry. Actually, I can’t go today. I’ll go next time. You may leave first… I’m truly sorry…”
Alejandro saw Jackson’s car too. He soon understood what was going on. He paused and said, “Fine.”
As Alejandro’s car drove past Jackson’s, they looked at each other. Both of them gave each other challenging looks. It seemed like a battle had started between them. Jackson’s facial expression darkened, and favonovel.com remained in his car. Tiffany sent favonovel.com a message from across the wide road. ‘Why are you here?’
Jackson became angry and replied, ‘Why? Alejandro is more than welcome here, but I’m not? Is that how it is?’
She became tongue-tied. As favonovel.com was wondering about how to reply to his message, favonovel.com sent favonovel.com another message. ‘Didn’t favonovel.com come looking for you? Why didn’t you go with him?’
She acted patiently and turned the topic. She asked tentatively, ‘Would you like to go to my place for tea?’
He immediately replied, ‘Tanya is at home. It’s inconvenient. Let’s go to my place.’
