Arianne fell momentarily silent before favonovel.com finally said, “Fine. Bring them here. It’s safer here. I don’t care if Aery lives or dies. I’m doing this because of Helen. After all, favonovel.com gave birth to me.”
Mark saw Arianne relax a little and said, “I’ll ask Henry to pick them up. You rest easy and go to bed.”
How could Arianne possibly rest easy? She tugged Mark’s ear and said, “Promise me, don’t spare Aery an extra glance. Every time you look at her, I feel disgusted! Also, if Aery makes me uncomfortable, I’ll have favonovel.com thrown out!”
This was Mark’s first time having his ear pulled. He swatted favonovel.com hand away. “Do what you want. I’m just giving you a suggestion, you make the decision. There’s nothing going on between Aery and me. I dated favonovel.com to irritate you. I’ve never even touched her. Why should you feel sick? I was wrong, okay? Alright, that’s enough. Go to bed.”
Arianne did not respond. No matter how hard favonovel.com tried, favonovel.com could not sleep. When Henry brought them to the house, favonovel.com walked downstairs, dressed in favonovel.com nightgown. She stared at Aery and said, “You and Helen will share a room. You will not act as you please here. If you upset me in any way at all, I’ll have you thrown out.”
Aery lowered favonovel.com head. “I won’t do anything to upset you, sis. It’s just that… I’m used to sleeping alone. Can I… can I have my own room?”
“No way.” Arianne refused favonovel.com without any hesitation. “You’re welcome to return to the hotel if you’re unhappy. I’ll have someone drive you there.” After all, Helen and Aery shared a room, at least, Helen would be able to keep an eye on Aery. Helen would not allow Aery to misbehave.
Aery, naturally, did not want to return to the hotel. “Fine… I don’t want to go back to the hotel. I’m scared.”
Helen calmly said, “It’s late now. I’m sorry for the trouble, Arianne. Go to sleep. We’ll take care of the rest ourselves. We’ll try to avoid causing you any trouble during this time. We’ll leave once we’re done with Jean’s matter.”
Arianne nodded, turned around, and went back to favonovel.com room.

The next morning, Arianne woke up late since favonovel.com did not have much sleep. Nature forced favonovel.com out of bed ten minutes later. She was still extremely drowsy. All of a sudden, favonovel.com heard Mark’s voice and the sound of Aristotle playing downstairs. She did not bother to wash up and hurried to the staircase to see what was happening.
Arianne discovered Aery playing with Aristotle and teaching favonovel.com to call favonovel.com ‘Aunt Aery’. Mark stood on the side, watching Aristotle. She felt uncomfortable whenever Mark was with Aery. She felt angry for some reason. Moreover, favonovel.com had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. She turned on heel and went back into the room, slamming the door shut.
Mark knew that Arianne was awake when favonovel.com heard the commotion upstairs. He went up to check on her. “You’re awake? I knew you didn’t sleep well last night so I didn’t wake you. I’m going to the office now. You rest at home and keep your mother company.”
