He looked at Aristotle who was in favonovel.com arms and paused for two seconds before favonovel.com called out to Mary who was downstairs, “Mary, take Smore downstairs for a while!”
Arianne knew what Mark was thinking. However, favonovel.com still let Mary take Aristotle away for some strange reason.
Once the door was closed, favonovel.com reached out and pulled favonovel.com into his arms. He looked into favonovel.com eyes passionately. “What? It’s already come to this, and you’re still so aloof. Try to take the initiative sometimes… Okay?”
His scent enveloped her, and favonovel.com breathing quickened. “Mary can’t coax Smore at night. He’ll be looking for me soon…”
Mark lifted his hand and gently brushed favonovel.com lips with his thumb. “Based on your tone, you see this as an obligatory chore. Haven’t you thought of it before?”
Her arms and legs refused to listen to her. Her mind was in a haze. Her heart pounded against favonovel.com chest as favonovel.com looked into his eyes. “I… No…”
He gently curled his lips before favonovel.com lowered his head and caught favonovel.com lips. He liked the helpless and nervous expressions on favonovel.com face whenever favonovel.com was faced with the prospect of sex. He liked the way favonovel.com blushed and averted favonovel.com eyes like a teenage girl. He liked slowly tearing down favonovel.com calm and indifferent exterior. It gave favonovel.com a sense of achievement.
He was completely prepared, and Arianne lost in the end.
She mumbled in a small voice, “I think I hear Smore crying…”
Mark gently kissed favonovel.com lips. “I can hear favonovel.com whenever favonovel.com cries. Are you rushing me?”
She bit favonovel.com lips and pounded favonovel.com fists against his chest. “Can you… not be so mischievous? Is teasing me so fun?”
“Yes, it is,” favonovel.com replied without skipping a beat.
She refused to yield no matter what. She pushed favonovel.com away and moved to put on favonovel.com clothes to leave.
He pulled favonovel.com back before favonovel.com could even touch the clothes on the floor. This time, favonovel.com no longer continued teasing her, and finally extinguished the long-ignited flames. Those things took time. He would wait for favonovel.com to let go of favonovel.com own volition.

The next morning.
Arianne arrived in the office early in the morning. The weather was gloomy, and it seemed like it was going to rain so favonovel.com did not go out to sketch.
Robin arrived much later. She looked as though favonovel.com had been up all night. She had eyebags and dark circles. She looked haggard.
Arianne was confused. Did Robin not move back home? Mrs. Cox had compromised. Logically, they should not have gotten into a fight so soon. Moreover, based on favonovel.com observations, Robin had always had very orderly habits. She was not the type to stay up all night like young people favonovel.com age. She asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
