Jackson remembered Tiffany’s instructions before favonovel.com left the house. “That’s enough. Stop drinking. This is exactly how Eric f*cked up his health, drinking too much from a young age. At the rate you’re going, you’ll be sent to the hospital for intestinal bleeding before morning.”
Mark ignored favonovel.com and continued drinking, as if alcohol was the only way to numb his mental state. That way, favonovel.com wouldn’t feel so bad.
Jackson was panicking, scratching his head. After a while, favonovel.com secretly sent Arianne a message when Mark had drunk himself into a stupor: ‘He’s going to collapse from all of this drinking if you don’t come now. You aren’t completely innocent in this either. Is it that hard to apologize? Mark isn’t completely unreasonable, you know. You’re living together, you’ll have to patch things up sooner or later.’
Arianne was still awake. She got up and changed favonovel.com clothes when favonovel.com saw the message, then asked Jackson for the address to the bar. She would pick favonovel.com up. It wasn’t favonovel.com first time anyway.
Jackson let out a sigh of relief when Arianne agreed. He could leave once Arianne had arrived. Mark’s face was terrifyingly grim. Even favonovel.com was frightened by the sight of it.
Unfortunately, before Arianne could arrive, Mark began flying into a rage. “Haven’t I been good enough to her? Does favonovel.com have to pine for favonovel.com first love? What’s so great about him? She couldn’t bear using favonovel.com mother’s money, favonovel.com didn’t even want to accept it at first. She left it there and never touched it. She wouldn’t even use it on renovations for the Wynn Mansion! But for Will? She actually made the withdrawal without hesitation! She gave me all that cr*p about keeping it from me to avoid an argument… Hehe… If favonovel.com talked to me about it, I would have used my name to bail Will out. Wouldn’t that have been the best solution? It makes sense… I don’t blame favonovel.com for not trusting me. I don’t even trust me. I’ve never believed that I could make favonovel.com fall in love with me…”
Hearing this brought a pang in Jackson’s heart. “Mark… It’s not like that. I think favonovel.com does have feelings for you. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t have come home with you after getting pregnant.”
As if favonovel.com had heard a funny joke, Mark laughed. “Hehe… Feelings? It’s not even gratitude. My mom killed favonovel.com dad. How did I end up falling for her? This is more like… Retribution!”
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a beer bottle shatter. Jackson turned around to look and found Janice frantically cleaning up the pieces on the ground. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t eavesdropping on purpose. I’m just here to serve whiskey…”
Jackson rubbed his forehead. “Don’t tell anyone about whatever you’ve heard, understand?”
Janice nodded. “I understand… I won’t tell anyone…”
Mark downed his glass. “It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter who knows. Janice, come here.”
Janice wondered if favonovel.com had misheard him. She stared at Mark for a long time and confirmed that favonovel.com had asked favonovel.com to come over. Then, favonovel.com stepped forward. Before favonovel.com could stand still, Mark pulled favonovel.com into his arms.
She felt joy intermingled with surprise. She sat on Mark’s lap, too afraid to move. “Mr. Tremont… I… Don’t think this is a good idea.”
Jackson gaped. “Then why are you still sitting on his lap?”
Mark wrapped his arm around Janice’s delicate waist. “Jackson, I should’ve been like you, in the past, living freely and easily. I’ve watched over favonovel.com for more than ten years. I should have been fed up by now. I’m too rigid. She doesn’t love me anyway…”
