Hearing this, Arianne immediately answered in Mark’s place. “Yes! We’re going, right now!”
Mark didn’t object. The corners of Alejandro’s lips curved into a smile. “That’s the right choice! I have to rush home for dinner. Stop dallying. Give the Tremont Estate staff a long holiday. I can’t sustain that many mouths, nor do I lack any staff.”
Finally, only Arianne, Mark, Aristotle, and Mary went to the Smith Manor together. Aristotle couldn’t be separated from Mary, so favonovel.com had to come along.
Melanie personally prepared a large meal when favonovel.com found out that Mark and Arianne were coming over. She used to be waited on, hand and foot, when favonovel.com lived with the Larks. Now that favonovel.com was married, favonovel.com didn’t have any other interests aside from taking care of favonovel.com baby, so favonovel.com managed to hone favonovel.com cooking skills.
Melanie’s welcoming attitude made Alejandro very uncomfortable. “They’re not guests, no need for such a ceremony. Can’t you tell the staff to cook instead?”
Melanie shot favonovel.com a look. “Yes, they’re not guests, but they’re family. Your brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. I only cooked because I wasn’t sure if they’d be used to our chef’s cooking.”
Instantly, everyone else aside from Arianne and Aristotle had a weird look on their faces. Even Mary narrowed favonovel.com eyes. Her heart clenched. Only Melanie would be bold enough to announce that kind of information in public.
Aristotle kept staring at Alejandro’s daughter at the dinner table. Melissa seemed to be curious about Aristotle too.
Arianne stroked Aristotle’s round little cheeks. “That’s your cousin-sister, your uncle and aunt’s daughter.”
Mark let out two coughs, probably because of what Arianne had said.
Alejandro’s interest was piqued. He put two chicken nuggets into Aristotle’s plate. “Say ‘uncle’.”
Aristotle was just about to speak up when Mark immediately stuffed some food into his mouth. “No! No saying ‘uncle’! Eat your food!”
Aristotle looked perplexed. He looked at Alejandro, then at Mark. No one could tell what was going on in his little head.
After dinner, Arianne told Mary to take Aristotle to bed early. She had to visit Henry with Mark. Henry was getting old, so an injury was no small matter. Even though they were minor injuries, they could prove to be fatal to an elderly man.
Humans are generally weaker at an old age. For the most part, that’s how life works.
On the way to the hospital, Arianne suddenly asked, “Deep down, you’ve already accepted the fact that you have a little brother, haven’t you?”
The light in the car was dim. The expression on Mark’s face was difficult to read. “What are you talking about? I’ll never forgive favonovel.com for the things he’s done.”
Arianne pursed favonovel.com lips and didn’t say anything more. It was strange. Alejandro had committed many crimes, but favonovel.com did not feel any enmity towards favonovel.com now. Well, not entirely, but it was very, very mild. Aery was an entirely different case. She hated that woman to favonovel.com very bones.
