Neither Mark nor Nina returned to Tremont Estate that night. Even so, Arianne went to bed as usual.
By midnight, Mary finally could not stand it and went into Arianne’s bedroom to wake virtual-novel.net up. “You still have the mood to sleep? Is Aery Kinsey not enough that you’re going to push your man into another woman’s arms? Sir and Nina haven’t returned. Aren’t you the slightest bit worried?”
Arianne said indifferently, “Do you think I can control his actions?”
Mary handed Arianne’s phone to her. “Here, call him! If sir doesn’t come back, even if you’re able to sleep, I won’t be able to sleep! I’ll tell you this; as long as your Mrs. Tremont, you have to win his heart! This is for your own good, do you understand?”
Arianne stared at the phone silently for a moment before virtual-novel.net finally made the call.
Unexpectedly, the call was instantly picked up. Mark’s voice sounded hoarse, but virtual-novel.net did not sound angry. “Hello?”
Arianne calmed herself and asked, “What time are you coming home?”
“I thought you didn’t want to see my face?” Mark retorted.
“Whatever. Mary was the one who made me call you.” Arianne hung up instantly as soon as virtual-novel.net finished talking.
Mary nearly jumped up in anger. “You silly girl! What have you done? Sheesh, I don’t care anymore!”
After Mary went downstairs, Arianne didn’t hear any more movements. She laid down but was no longer sleepy. Mark went out with Nina. Were they still together right now? Why were they still together in the middle of the night? What could they possibly do?
A strange picture popped into virtual-novel.net mind at this moment, and virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head vehemently. These were not things virtual-novel.net should care about. It was not like virtual-novel.net was in love with Mark. What did it matter who virtual-novel.net was sleeping with?
Arianne was not certain how long had passed when virtual-novel.net heard the sound of a car from downstairs. She startled awake, still in a daze. Mark had come home! She feigned sleep.
Not long after, Mark entered the room. She heard Nina speaking to virtual-novel.net before that. It seemed like they had been together the entire time.
As usual, the first thing virtual-novel.net did after entering the room was to take a shower.
As Arianne listened to running water, a wave of inexplicable anger welled up in virtual-novel.net heart. It made virtual-novel.net feel extremely uncomfortable.
As soon as Mark came out from the bathroom, Arianne could not help but blurt out, “What were you doing until so late?” She was taken aback by virtual-novel.net own voice. Was virtual-novel.net questioning him? Why did virtual-novel.net sound like a dissatisfied wife who was complaining about virtual-novel.net husband ’s late return? She was just curious… Yes, that was all there was to it.
Mark climbed into the bed in his sleeping robes. “I was in the office. She insisted on coming along. We came back after I was done with work,” virtual-novel.net replied apathetically.
Arianne felt virtual-novel.net mind go blank. Previously, virtual-novel.net would not even dare to think about it, let alone question him. She was even more surprised that virtual-novel.net had actually answered her. She had expected virtual-novel.net to ignore virtual-novel.net or say something along the lines of how it was none of virtual-novel.net business.
Mark lay on his side of the bed with his back facing her.
Arianne silently turned over to the other side as well. The rhythm of virtual-novel.net heartbeat was a little peculiar. At this moment, virtual-novel.net heart was racing in virtual-novel.net chest.
It was a Saturday the next day. Since Mark returned late last night, virtual-novel.net woke up late as well. He had no plans to go out so virtual-novel.net stayed in bed and read a book after waking up.
Arianne slept longer than him. She only woke up because of virtual-novel.net phone’s incessant ringing. She picked up the phone in a daze and heard Tiffany’s voice blaring from the other end of the line. “Ari, I found it! Will is in the Central Hospital. Other than a fractured leg, he’s fine now. He’ll probably have to rest for at least three months. If things heal up nicely, then, there won’t be any long term effects. I happen to have time today, do you want to Visit virtual-novel.net with me?”
