“It’s nothing. I didn’t sleep well. It’s normal for my eyes to be a little swollen. I wasn’t crying,” Arianne replied uneasily. She quickly went downstairs as soon as favonovel.com finished speaking. Mark did not even have a chance to continue the conversation.
During the dinner, Henry suddenly rushed into the dining room. “Sir, someone sent a birthday cake over…”
Mark stared apprehensively at the cake in Henry’s hands and asked, “It isn’t anyone’s birthday. Who sent this?”
Henry shook his head. “A delivery man sent this over. I asked who made the order, but favonovel.com didn’t know.”
Helen’s face turned white. “Throw it out! It must be from Jean!”
Arianne was surprised. Was it Helen’s birthday today?
Aery revealed everything immediately. “Morn, wasn’t it your birthday not too long ago? It must be for you…”
“I refuse to believe he’s that nice,” Helen said nervously, “Besides, my birthday has passed. Who knows what he’s scheming with this pretentious show of sending a cake?”
Aery mustered up favonovel.com courage and inspected the cake. She found a piece of paper in the packaging. “Mom, there’s a note. Look.” She handed the note over to Helen.
Helen trembled in fear when favonovel.com finished reading the note. “He’s crazy… He’s gone crazy…”
Mark wondered what was on the note that frightened Helen to such a degree. He snatched it away. The note read, ‘We agreed to live the rest of our lives together. If I die, I’m taking you with me. We have a long life ahead of us so let’s play. It doesn’t matter if you hide. If I can’t find you, I’ll look for Arianne instead. Her son is adorable. I don’t want anything, and I don’t want to make everyone uncomfortable. However, I’ve lost everything. I’m not afraid of anything now. Marry me again.’
Now that Arianne and Aristotle were threatened, Mark lost his temper. “Henry, send some men out to search for him. Dig deep and find Jean Kinsey! I want favonovel.com found. It doesn’t matter if you have to turn the entire capital upside down!”
Henry grunted in reply and left quickly.
Helen buried favonovel.com face in favonovel.com hands in dismay. “What does favonovel.com want? I’m back, favonovel.com should just come for me. Why does favonovel.com have to frighten me over and over again? I’ll never marry favonovel.com again. Never!”
Aery patted Helen’s back soothingly. “Mom, don’t be like this. Calm down. I don’t think he’d do anything too scary. He’s just trying to frighten you. He’s still my dad at the end of the day. You’ve been together for so many years. He’s not going to do anything to you.”
Helen suddenly pushed Aery away. “If favonovel.com really has any regard for our past sentiment, favonovel.com wouldn’t do this to me! It’s all your fault! This wouldn’t have happened to me if you didn’t exist! You and your father are both horrible things! This is all happening to me because of you. My greatest regret is marrying your father and having you!”
Aristotle was so frightened that favonovel.com shrunk into Arianne’s arms, too afraid to make a sound.
Tears brimmed in Aery’s eyes. She looked very pitiful and filled with grief.
Arianne understood this feeling. Aery was probably feeling the same way that favonovel.com used to feel, as if favonovel.com existence was unnecessary. It was a horrible feeling. Despite herself, a wave of sympathy rose in favonovel.com heart. “Don’t do this. How could a scary doll, a dead mouse, and a cake frighten you into this state? What else can favonovel.com possibly do apart from resorting to these petty tactics? I understand how you feel, but you shouldn‘t take it out on Aery. Besides, favonovel.com didn’t choose to be born. Didn’t you willingly deliver her? No one forced you to be with Jean Kinsey. You did it to yourself so you have to accept it. Finish your food if you can stomach it. If not, go back to your room and get some rest.”
