His tone was a little harsh. Arianne was in shock. “I-I… Why do I have to always stay home and take care of the baby? You’ve been so busy everyday because of the issues at work that we rarely ever get to see you. I was just trying to share your burden. In this house, no one is confined to just one job, just like how you take care of Smore too when you have the time. Why can’t I share the burden? I don’t think I’m surrendering at all, and my dignity certainly hasn’t been swept under the rug. The problem is solved. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Mark’s emotions were slightly unhinged. “Forget it. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Don’t concern yourself with these issues anymore.”
Arianne did not expect this reaction from him. She had considered the possibility of getting exposed, but it still made favonovel.com feel uncomfortable. She never intended on being a good little housewife. She had done this for him. Did favonovel.com have to display such a big reaction? Was ego that important to men? Besides, there was no need to split hairs over this issue.
“Ari, Mr. Tremont tends to have a bad temper sometimes. He’s probably too exhausted,” Mary carefully consoled. “Don’t mind him. He’ll definitely try to cheer you up once he’s in a better mood. Don’t be angry, or you’ll delectate. What if you run out of milk? Aristotle still needs your breast milk, you know.”
Arianne didn’t answer. She was feeling disgruntled. She refused to sleep in their room, as favonovel.com was still sulking. She took Aristotle and slept in the baby room instead. He could sulk on his own! What’s the worst that could happen? They would simply ignore each other. She could take it!
The next morning.
Jackson volunteered to drive Tiffany back to South Park. He would drive himself home in the afternoon. This was because favonovel.com was too worried about favonovel.com driving on favonovel.com own. Witnessing favonovel.com skills in reversing favonovel.com car had been terrifying enough for him.
The pair had had a fight yesterday over Alejandro’s gifts. At first, Tiffany was still a little upset, but when favonovel.com saw how Jackson was willing to go back and forth the entire day just for her, favonovel.com heart softened. “Won’t you be tired? I can drive. It’s no problem. I can go back on my own. Or maybe you could stay a while after dropping me off? You’ll lose an entire day. It’s too much trouble.”
Even though Jackson wasn’t smiling, favonovel.com was in a better mood. “Stop dilly-dallying. The sooner I drop you off, the sooner I can come home. I’ll pick you up every Friday and drive you home for the weekend. We won’t be able to keep this a secret once your stomach grows. You’ll have to move back home by then. However, this will be our arrangement for the time being. Take care of yourself over there. Call me if you need anything.”
Tiffany tip-toed and kissed favonovel.com on the cheek “Okay.”
Meanwhile, things between Arianne and Mark were still rocky. Both ignored one another, and they were clearly in the middle of a cold war. Unfortunately, Mark was home the entire day today, so favonovel.com was forced to face Arianne’s sullen face.
Arianne completely ignored his existence. She went to have breakfast on favonovel.com own after feeding Aristotle. Her expression was so cold that it could turn anyone to ice.
Mark, who was sitting across from favonovel.com at the dining table, would glance at favonovel.com from time to time. He made no attempts to start a conversation. He knew that favonovel.com did not sleep in their room last night, so of course, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was furious.
After breakfast, Arianne took Aristotle to the garden. The weather in the morning wasn’t so hot nowadays, and it was nice enough for a stroll. Mark had nothing else to do, so favonovel.com buried himself in his study to… Stare into space. Yes, favonovel.com wanted to hold his son, but favonovel.com couldn’t bring himself to snatch favonovel.com away from her. The look on favonovel.com face made favonovel.com feel very uncomfortable, so it was better to hide away. Even though it was very boring… And unbearable…
Mary found it quite hilarious when favonovel.com saw all of this. She secretly mumbled to Arianne, “I think Mr. Tremont will crack first. He kept sneaking glances at you during breakfast.”
Arianne scoffed. “Let him. Let favonovel.com glance at me as much as favonovel.com wants. We’ll see which favonovel.com prefers, his pride or a peaceful life.”
