She took advantage of the silence in the night and crept to the door of the guest bedroom. “Jackson… Are you asleep?”
Less than two seconds later, the room door opened. Jackson appeared, barefoot and staring at her. “What?”
She buried herself into his arms. “We’re back together again. Aren’t you happy? Why aren’t you reacting?”
He pursed his lips. “What reaction did you expect from me? What kind of reaction could I possibly have at a time like this? That’s enough, go to bed. Get an early night’s rest. It’s late. Staying up like this would be bad for the baby.”
Tiffany was extremely disappointed. It was as if the fire in favonovel.com loins had been doused by a block of ice. “Fine, I’m going. I hate you!”
Jackson rubbed his eyes as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com go back into favonovel.com room. In reality, favonovel.com was wide awake from excitement. He leaped off the bed to open the door and forgot to put on his slippers when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com voice. Except… He was too afraid to sleep with her. Only god knew how much favonovel.com was suffering.
The next morning, Mark headed to the office for work. Arianne snuck out with Aristotle later on. She didn’t dare ask Henry to drive her, afraid that favonovel.com might inform Mark. Hence, favonovel.com hailed a cab along the street. She arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed meeting time at the coffee shop. She had initially thought that Alejandro would arrive later. To favonovel.com surprise, favonovel.com had arrived earlier than her.
“Mrs. Tremont, please have a seat. Would you like something to drink?” Alejandro seemed like the perfect gentleman. He even smiled gently at the sight of Aristotle.
“Just a glass of cold water will do. Mr. Smith, I’m sorry for taking up your time today. I think… You might have an idea of why I’ve asked you here today,” Arianne sat down and spoke calmly.
“For land?” Alejandro asked, after some thought.
She nodded. “Right. No one can say much about your attitude in the business world, but I was hoping that you could consider making some allowances. When it comes to land, if one makes a purchase at too high of a price and fails to rake in profits… Well, we’re all intelligent adults, so there’s no need to… Give yourselves extra losses for the sake of rivalry, right?”
Alejandro laughed. “Haha… Rivalry? No, you’re overthinking it. However… Since you’ve asked, I’ll do as you say. Your baby is adorable. Don’t forget to tell favonovel.com to call me ‘uncle’ once favonovel.com starts talking.”
He agreed? So easily? Arianne felt slight suspicion. However, on second thought, Alejandro had moved here from Ayashe to expand his business. His opposition against Mark was undoubtedly a way to establish authority. Mark was considered number one in the capital.
Mark certainly wasn’t going to ask for land. Only she, Mrs. Tremont, could handle matters concerning his dignity. To Alejandro, this was all the same. Alejandro probably felt very pleased with himself and felt that the Tremonts had conceded.
She had not noticed the last part of Alejandro’s sentence. She thought that favonovel.com was teasing the baby.
After some thought, favonovel.com said, “Could we please keep this from Mark? I did not tell favonovel.com about my meeting with you today. If not, then let’s pretend that I was never here.”
