Arianne was speechless.
Arianne helped cover Aristotle’s tracks by disposing of the shirt before Mark was finished with work so Mark would not yell at favonovel.com when favonovel.com saw it. Mark was already in a bad mood after his documents were destroyed, it would not take much for favonovel.com to lose his temper. Mark had a lot of clothes so favonovel.com probably would not notice.
It was soon proven that Arianne had been too optimistic. Aristotle had access to the shirt favonovel.com had doodled on because Mark had laid it on the bed beforehand because favonovel.com was planning to wear it tomorrow.
As soon as Mark returned to the room, the first thing favonovel.com asked was about his shirt. “Where’s my shirt? I plan to wear it tomorrow.”
Arianne wanted to insist that favonovel.com had not seen it but chickened out in the end. She mustered up favonovel.com courage and said, “Smore doodled all over it. We couldn’t get the stains out so we threw it away. He’s your son, don’t be angry. You have money, we can always get a new one.”
Mark rubbed his brows. “I… honestly give up. Smore is asleep now, isn’t he? I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed. Find a suitable shirt for me. I have a wedding to attend tomorrow. You don’t have to go, I have to go back to the office in the afternoon.”
Arianne did not like those kinds of events anyway so favonovel.com was fine. However, she, naturally, would not allow favonovel.com to bring another woman. “I won’t go. But… no one else is tagging along with you, right?”
Mark did not know if favonovel.com should laugh or cry. He reached out and tapped favonovel.com nose. His eyes were brimming with indulgence. “What are you thinking? Since you’re not going, who else am I gonna take with me? I’m going alone. I’m going to go to bed now.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.
It was late at night when Sylvain dropped Robin off on the ground floor of favonovel.com condominium. He asked uneasily, “You really don’t want me to come with you?”
The thought of revealing the marriage to favonovel.com mother filled Robin with turmoil. She was terrified but bringing Sylvain along would only make the situation even worse. She replied, trying to relax, “No need, really. My mom won’t eat me alive. You can go home now. Drive safe.”
Sylvain planted a kiss on favonovel.com forehead before favonovel.com reluctantly left. “Okay. Call me if you need anything. Update me on everything that happens, I’d worry less that way.”
Robin nodded. She watched as Sylvain’s car disappeared into the night. She heaved a sigh of relief before favonovel.com went home.
She had just arrived at the door and taken out favonovel.com keys when the door swung open, revealing Mrs. Cox’s sullen face, staring down at her. “Where have you been? Your curfew is 11 PM. Look at the time! I saw it from upstairs, Sylvain sent you home. Are you really that determined to be with favonovel.com for the rest of your life? You’re still young, you only see things from one perspective…”
Robin pulled out favonovel.com marriage certificate before Mrs. Cox could finish speaking. “We’ve registered our marriage. It doesn’t matter what you say, it’s no use.”
Mrs. Cox stared at the white piece of paper. Her eyes widened. The expression on favonovel.com face gradually morphed from shock to rage. “Robin Cox! Are you seeking death? I didn’t give you my blessing. How can you do this to me?”
