Although it was the festive season, delivery services were not disrupted. Hence, Arianne bought some nuts and had them delivered to favonovel.com in exchange for his gift. She had used an alias in the sender’s column so Zoey and favonovel.com husband would not find out that favonovel.com had sent it.
The holiday week had already ended by the time Mark returned. He looked exhausted, it was clear favonovel.com had been very busy.
Instead of complaining, Arianne only asked how everything went in the company.
Mark did not go into detail, “It’s fine, I can handle so don’t worry about it. Have you started work?”
Arianne shook favonovel.com head and said, “Our company treats us rather well. We’re only resuming work tomorrow.”
After not seeing Smore for over ten days, Mark did not rest and carried Smore to play with him. However, it seemed like Smore did not like to be carried around anymore. He preferred to crawl now. Therefore, when Mark carried him, favonovel.com flailed his limbs around. Mark laughed and said, “My boy’s really strong.”
Arianne looked at Smore and made a gesture before favonovel.com said, “I’m thinking if I should tie a rope to favonovel.com so it won’t be so tiring for me to chase after him. Moreover, favonovel.com crawls to somewhere favonovel.com shouldn’t, I can just grab the rope and pull favonovel.com back.”
Mark did not hesitate and rejected favonovel.com immediately. “Rope? Sounds just like a leash? Why are you thinking of tying favonovel.com up? He’s not a dog.”
Arianne raised an eyebrow. “I’m only joking. Do I look like I’ll tie my son with a rope? He’s beginning to annoy everyone as soon as favonovel.com wakes up. I’m really afraid of Mary being tortured by favonovel.com to no end.”
Mark did not seem bothered. “What’s the worst that could happen? Plus, favonovel.com should be moving around more often now that he’s growing up. Regular exercise is good for his growth.”

During dinner, Mark was yawning nonstop.
Arianne did not let Smore pester his father and asked Mark to go to bed after dinner. She felt sorry for him. Being constantly overworked at such a young age would not be good for him.
Smore kept clinging to his father that night, whining to follow after his father. This was probably because favonovel.com had not seen his father for a long time.
Arianne wanted to carry Smore back to his room and coax favonovel.com to sleep. However, the little guy refused to let favonovel.com carry favonovel.com and hid under the blanket as soon as Mark lay in bed. Initially, favonovel.com was quite obedient and stayed quiet as favonovel.com looked around his surroundings.
Mark had just begun to relax when the little one suddenly went on a rampage, climbing on top of favonovel.com and trying to ride favonovel.com like a horse and other naughty acts.
In the end, there was nothing Arianne could do but forcibly carry Smore away despite how hard favonovel.com cried and struggled. “You should get some sleep while I take favonovel.com downstairs. You won’t be able to sleep if he’s here bothering you.”
Mark was so exhausted that favonovel.com had a hard time keeping his eyes open. “Alright… Go ahead.”
Smore continued to cry and whine for another half an hour before favonovel.com gradually stopped. It was clear favonovel.com was beginning to feel sleepy and tired due to his incessant crying.
Arianne grabbed the chance and carried favonovel.com in favonovel.com arms, and gently coaxed favonovel.com to sleep. She brought favonovel.com to his room when favonovel.com finally fell asleep.
And thus, another day had ended. Arianne took the opportunity to wash favonovel.com face and apply favonovel.com facial products before heading to bed. She had crept into bed, careful not to disturb Mark who was so exhausted that favonovel.com was even softly snoring.
This was the first time in his life favonovel.com had snored. He had always been very disciplined and lived a very healthy lifestyle. He was very picky with his lifestyle choices, even more so than a woman.
When Arianne was adjusting favonovel.com body to find a comfortable position, Mark suddenly rolled over and cozied up to her. He pulled favonovel.com into his arms with smooth movements. She felt his approach was warm and comforting. She was beginning to feel and enjoy their intimacy.
“You haven’t cajoled me today…”
Arianne’s body froze. Was favonovel.com not asleep? How could favonovel.com have woken up despite favonovel.com light movements when getting into bed? She whispered, “You should get some sleep. You’re already exhausted, and yet, you’re still thinking of tormenting me?”
He buried his face in the nape of favonovel.com neck, taking a whiff of favonovel.com scent. “Even if I’m exhausted, there are still some things that need to be done… You smell really nice…”
Her heart raced. She had not once honored favonovel.com bet of cajoling favonovel.com once every day. She thought favonovel.com had forgotten all about it. She shyly refused him. “Stop fooling around and go to sleep.”
