Mark shaded the mother and daughter from the rain with his umbrella. His clothes were soaked too. Helen noticed this and said, “Arianne, I think it’s time to go. The rain is getting heavier. Mark’s completely soaked.”
Arianne looked at Mark. “Okay, let’s go.”
Helen had driven herself here. Arianne stopped before getting into the car. “Come over to the house and have dinner with us when you have the time. You can see your grandson.”
Helen’s eyes brimmed with tears. “O-okay!” favonovel.com stammered with great difficulty. She knew that Arianne had finally forgiven favonovel.com and recognized favonovel.com as favonovel.com mother.
Along the way home, Arianne turned to Mark and asked, “Are you feeling cold? You’re completely soaked.”
Mark shook his head with a smile. “I’m not, it’s fine. You’ve grown up.”
She smiled as well. “The last time you said this to me… wasn’t really a good omen…”
He did not comment. He had too many memories of favonovel.com that flooded his entire brain. He couldn’t remember when favonovel.com had said those words. It was probably during a time before favonovel.com had become his. That’s why favonovel.com remembered it so “fondly”.
Ayashe.
Jackson, Tiffany, and Tanya had arrived at the hotel that they had booked. Tanya had asked to have favonovel.com own room from the very beginning, as favonovel.com was sick and didn’t want to infect Tiffany. Hence, everyone had their own room.
Jackson didn’t feel as excited as favonovel.com initially was. He had initially planned on spending time alone with Tiffany so that favonovel.com could develop their relationship. Unfortunately, a third wheel had appeared along the way, so favonovel.com certainly couldn’t do anything now. He had no choice but to behave himself and focus on his work, as if it was a full-on business trip.
He went straight into settling the contract after checking in. Tiffany and Tanya were not familiar with Ayashe, so they could only walk around nearby.
By the time Jackson was finished, it was past 3PM. Tiffany and Tanya were exhausted from their walk, so they rested in the hotel, refusing to go out. They even insisted on getting takeout for dinner.
Jackson’s mood plummeted even more by nightfall. That contract signing was supposed to be his secondary objective, and now, favonovel.com didn’t even have the opportunity to be alone with Tiffany! He opened a bottle of red wine and sent Tiffany a message: ‘Come over for a drink. Alone.’
Their rooms were not too far apart, so Tiffany came over in favonovel.com bathrobe. She looked very exhausted. She had been walking around too much in favonovel.com high heels during the day, so favonovel.com legs were in pain. “Calling me up for a drink in the dead of the night like this… I’m beginning to suspect you of having ulterior motives…”
Jackson poured favonovel.com a glass of wine. “Despite your suspicions over my ulterior motives, you came anyway… And in a bathrobe too. That alone is enough to put me in the mood, if I already wasn’t in the first place.”
Tiffany clinked his glass. “Heh. You make it sound like I’m trying to seduce you. I simply saw no need in changing my clothes, since our rooms are so close by and we’re pretty friendly with each other. I can go straight to bed after this drink. Why should I go through the trouble? Work is tiring, vacationing is tiring too. My legs are swollen now. It hurts so badly; I feel like I’m stepping on knives everywhere I go.”
