Arianne gently stirred a bowl of steaming porridge with a spoon, virtual-novel.net didn’t respond to Mary’s suggestion.
Did Mark go looking for virtual-novel.net for so long last night because virtual-novel.net felt responsible? She never felt that virtual-novel.net could influence his behavior. If Mark wasn’t willing to come home, then virtual-novel.net would only feel disgusted even if virtual-novel.net got on virtual-novel.net knees and begged him.
The news continued brewing on the Internet, but Mark never directly responded to it. He even donated to an elementary school on New Year’s Eve.
Arianne accidentally discovered the latest article while virtual-novel.net was flipping through the news. It was a photo that was taken secretly when virtual-novel.net was in the hospital. She was lying on the bed, looking pale and lifeless. The content of the article was questioning whether virtual-novel.net had been hospitalized due to domestic violence and if Mark Tremont’s gentle nature was nothing more than a façade. Now that virtual-novel.net thought about it, the person outside the hospital ward must’ve been the one who snuck a shot of her.
She subconsciously refuted these claims in the comment section, but virtual-novel.net comment was very quickly swallowed among the comments from other netizens.
Perhaps Mark had never been publicly criticized in the past, so the comments were very mixed. Most of the criticisms were quite salty though, spoken out of jealousy.
One of the usernames caught virtual-novel.net attention. It was tirelessly flaming the ones who were talking shit in the comment section. Compared to those haters, this person was a lot cuter even though virtual-novel.net or virtual-novel.net was swearing too.
If Arianne wasn’t mistaken, this was the username that Tiffany usually used. Although virtual-novel.net hadn’t contacted virtual-novel.net since the news broke, virtual-novel.net action spoke for itself.
Arianne’s mind wand cred while virtual-novel.net helped Mary with the decorations at the main door. Mary took the decoration from virtual-novel.net and said, “Here, let me do it. You’re still sick. Go rest up and don’t catch another cold. Give sir a call if you have the time.”
Arianne didn’t say anything. She didn’t really know how to communicate with Mark. Their age gap of ten years was like a wide ditch that separated them.
She went back to virtual-novel.net room, took out virtual-novel.net phone, and called him. To virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net call was immediately received. She calmed herself down and asked, “Are you coming back tomorrow?”
Mark sounded like virtual-novel.net was mumbling in his sleep on the other end of the call, “Hmmm.”
Then, just like that, the call ended.
During dinnertime, Mary said, “I have to go home tomorrow. Old Henry will still be around, along with the kitchen helpers. If sir comes back tomorrow, you must find a way to make virtual-novel.net stay, got it?”
Arianne nodded. “He told me he’s coming back, but virtual-novel.net could change his mind at the last minute.”
Mary consoled her. “Don’t worry. Sir will surely come back since virtual-novel.net has promised you.”
The next day, the decorations outside the main entrance were particularly eye-catching. The atmosphere was brimming with the joy of another year.
Mary had gone back to virtual-novel.net hometown, and Butler Henry, as usual, didn’t talk much. He would only inform Arianne to take virtual-novel.net meals when virtual-novel.net got up and remind virtual-novel.net to take virtual-novel.net medicine on time.
She had no idea what time Mark was coming back so virtual-novel.net sent a greeting to Tiffany and chatted with virtual-novel.net for a while. She felt a little sleepy after taking virtual-novel.net medicine, so virtual-novel.net got some shut-eye on the sofa.
By night time, it was still very quiet in the Tremont Estate and virtual-novel.net was bored to death. Other houses were brightly lit, celebrating the joyous occasion. She hadn’t experienced that for so many years now.
By seven o’clock in the evening, Butler Henry came to virtual-novel.net and said, “Madam, do you want to make another call to sir?”
Before Arianne could even reply, Aery Kinsey’s cutesy voice came from the door. “Mark dear, won’t my sister be upset if I spend New Year’s Eve here?”
Arianne caught virtual-novel.net breath. It was New Year’s Eve today and Mark Tremont actually brought Aery Kinsey here?
