Arianne immediately stopped in favonovel.com tracks. “What would you have me do? Run amok like you are now and let an innocent child suffer as well? Aery was the one who sealed favonovel.com fate by coming back here. This would never have happened if favonovel.com did not return here with malicious intentions. What would you have me do now? Exchange myself for her? Why should I? What right do you have to make such a request? I can understand that you’re panicking and are worried, but don’t you dare vent your frustration on me. You have no right to!”
After saying that, Arianne carried Smore and sprinted to favonovel.com room, slamming the door behind her.
Arianne had thought that favonovel.com had put the past behind favonovel.com and forgiven Helen. It was not until this incident that Arianne realized that Helen neither needed to be forgiven, nor did favonovel.com deserved to. In the end, Arianne was just a child favonovel.com had abandoned for so many years. The relationship they had could never be compared to the one Helen had with Aery, who had been raised by favonovel.com since birth. Such was the reality of things.
Helen was bound to make such unreasonable requests when favonovel.com had completely lost favonovel.com rationality thanks to Seaton. How could favonovel.com not be panicking at the thought of Aery’ s impending doom?
Helen sat by the stairs and cried, but Arianne ignored favonovel.com and coaxed Smore to sleep as if nothing had happened.
Smore was being a good boy and rested in favonovel.com arms. He hugged favonovel.com tightly and said, “Mama, mama good, gwamma bad.”
Arianne almost broke into tears herself after favonovel.com tried so hard to stifle them. There was nothing favonovel.com could do to reverse the situation, but favonovel.com felt so angry and helpless, to the point that it was eating favonovel.com up alive.
Mark was annoyed by Helen’s incessant crying. “Stop crying. Crying won’t solve the problem.”
Helen had completely lost favonovel.com composure, as favonovel.com grabbed onto favonovel.com chest. “What would you have me do then? Can you save Aery? Could you please save her? Seaton’s obviously coming for you, and Aery’s just a victim in all this. You can’t just sit around when she’s about to die. Even if favonovel.com did come back to favonovel.com own death, favonovel.com did it because of you! If you had not seduced favonovel.com in the beginning, would favonovel.com be like this? Mark Tremont, you’re partially responsible for this…”
Mark suppressed his emotions and shut his eyes. “Frankly, I was not the one who seduced her, it was the other way around, it was all supposed to just be a show. Do you even know what you’re saying at the moment? If you don’t view Arianne as your daughter, you shouldn’t show up in front of her. Are you really able to live with yourself after how you’ve been treating favonovel.com time and time again? I had actually thought that you sincerely regretted your actions and wanted to make amends, but it would seem that I was gravely mistaken. How do you expect us to save Aery? A life for a life? Impossible!”
Helen suddenly stood up. “I’ll go and meet Seaton and use my life in exchange for hers! That should be fine, right?”
Mark immediately stopped Helen. “Are you crazy? You’re sealing your own fate. Not only would Seaton not release Aery, but favonovel.com would gain another bargaining chip instead! Are you trying to use your own life to threaten Arianne? Could you just consider Arianne’s feelings for once? You’ve been so selfish since the beginning that Arianne doesn’t owe you anything!”
Helen used everything favonovel.com had to release herself from Mark’s grip. “Not only will you not save her, but you’re not letting me save favonovel.com either. Are you guys any better? I don’t mean to have Arianne sacrifice favonovel.com life for Aery, but there must be some solution. However, both of you are giving me the impression that neither of you are willing to save Aery at all! The two of you seem to be living on as though nothing has happened! If it was Arianne who had been kidnapped, I would still react the same way. Blood runs thicker than water, both of them are my daughters and this is a mother’s natural reaction. I could never be as heartless as the two of you!”
“Mark Tremont, is this all there is to you? You’re willing to retreat at Seaton’s threats without even attempting to look for him? Are you going to sit here and wait for everything to end? Seaton’s merely a human as well; how could you not be able to come up with any kind of plan against him? Haven’t both of you been wishing that Aery was dead? She may have committed a lot of sins against the two of you, but she’s doing favonovel.com best to change. I will definitely scrutinize favonovel.com for favonovel.com behavior since she’s still young and foolish, but I most definitely won’t let favonovel.com die!”
