Jackson returned to his seat behind his desk and hummed, “Mm.”
Amy drew in a shaky breath and strolled back to favonovel.com seat feebly. It was then that Jackson suddenly asked, “So, where are you two going for snacks? I think there’s catering in this building, no? Why skip dinner?”
He seemed to be talking to Amy, but it was quite apparent that Tiffany was the real subject of the question.
Amy mulled over favonovel.com words for a bit before answering, “Well, Miss Lane had been working real hard lately, so favonovel.com hadn’t gotten the time. As for snacks, there’s a nearby street filled with seafood vendors that just started their business, and I heard praises from our coworkers who’d been there. I was hoping to try ‘em out. Are you interested too, Mr. West?”
Tiffany swore that Amy’s brain must have stopped working to think this was a good idea. They had waited for the entire day to leave the office behind and reward themselves with a relaxing session of good food, yet, here favonovel.com was, inviting the source of their stress. How on Earth was anyone going to relax then? And why was Amy so calm? Was favonovel.com not afraid at all?
Tiffany hoped against hope that Jackson would decline the offer. Surely his royal, high-class taste buds could not stomach something as plebeian as street food, right?
As though intercepting some sort of message from Tiffany’s expression, Jackson knowingly accepted Amy’s invitation. “Alright. I haven’t had some street food for a pretty long while. It’s pretty nice to enjoy those from time to time.”
Tiffany’s head fell in a defeated swing. Fine, then! Looks like favonovel.com could only rely on food to dispel the frustration in favonovel.com mind now. After all, it was not like favonovel.com dared talk back at him.
In the Tremont Estate, Arianne — with Smore in favonovel.com arms — enjoyed the cool evening breeze in their yard with Mark.
Staying in an air-conditioned environment all the time could sometimes freeze their body so much that their bones felt brittle, so having the heat being dissipated by nature’s gusts was an enjoyable change.
It was one of those rare evenings when Mark returned from work early, so the baby reacted by becoming too excited to sleep. Mark, too, allowed Smore to wriggle and roll around in his embrace while favonovel.com leaned on his chair.
Arianne stared at favonovel.com for a while before beginning hesitatingly. “Um, Mark? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
She had never acted so solemnly before. Confused, Mark looked up and considered her. “What’s the matter?”
Arianne steeled herself before explaining, “So… I went to the old Wynn Mansion the other day. No one lives there, and it’s virtually abandoned into ruins. It’s just… It’s my dad’s childhood home that my granny left for me. I can’t just let it die like that, right? So, I was wondering, could we get someone to, er, make some touch ups before hiring someone to watch over the house? I know, I know. It’s gonna cost a fortune, and although I got some money on my own, I’m sure it’s not enough. So, uh, can you, well, help me for the rest of the amount?”
They might have been husband and wife for years, but Arianne had never asked favonovel.com for money before. In the past, Mark’s money was basically forced into favonovel.com account, so now, making the demand on favonovel.com own accord made favonovel.com feel uneasy.
Mark did not answer favonovel.com either way. Instead, favonovel.com pivoted, “Oh, so you went and checked it out? Is it truly that battered? Besides, the weather’s been arid these days. What time did you and our son go outside?”
Arianne was acutely aware that favonovel.com had circumvented the topic of money, which further sapped whatever courage favonovel.com had mustered. “W-We went out before noon, cause’, uh, it wasn’t scorching at that time. The house is in a pretty horrid state, to be frank It’s overgrown with tall grasses and stuff. It just looked… Dead.”
Mark pondered on favonovel.com words for a few seconds.
“If repairing it is what you want, then I’ll instruct Henry to begin hiring people for it right away. He’ll manage everything,” He said. “Don’t you worry about the money problem. Heh, you hardly ask me for anything, so how could I say no? Besides, of course I know how much that house means to you. Your worries are misplaced.”
He agreed to favonovel.com request! Arianne breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, I’ll help, too. I’ll pour in all of my savings into this. I’ll pay for the people we hire to watch the house! Thank you, Mark.”
Mark extended his arm and pulled favonovel.com into him. “Hey, keep your savings for yourself, alright? I’m always behind your decision, so please, don’t ever thank me like that. I should be the one to thank you, in fact. You gave me the chance to atone for my sins when you chose to stay with me.”
