Arianne couldn’t seem to see it as clearly as Mark, probably because of virtual-novel.net youth. “I can’t get used to it. This was a huge blow to Tiffie. It gets even more frustrating every time I think of it. I’ve lost my appetite for dinner. You eat. Give me the baby.”
Mark turned to the side, evading virtual-novel.net reach towards the baby. “Eat your dinner. What if you deprive little Smore of his milk? You’re not alone now, as you have a little one to care for. You have to eat. Have a bowl of soup that Mary made in the kitchen. Hurry up.”
She really wasn’t in the mood to eat, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t bear with Mark’s nagging, so virtual-novel.net forced a bowl of soup down virtual-novel.net throat. That was the end of it.
At night, the pair slept together during bedtime. Mark reached out to hug virtual-novel.net as usual. She instinctively thought that virtual-novel.net was trying to initiate conjugal relations and mumbled, “Not tonight, I’m exhausted…”
He laughed. “What are you thinking? Do you think that I’m made of iron, as if I’m not exhausted too? I just want to hold you. Go to sleep, stop overthinking. I understand how important Tiffany is to you, but this is a path in virtual-novel.net life that virtual-novel.net has to experience. Let virtual-novel.net do it on virtual-novel.net own. As virtual-novel.net friend, you can only talk to virtual-novel.net and console her. Alright. Sleep.”

The next day, Tanya went to the office and personally handed Eric virtual-novel.net resignation.
Surprisingly, Eric did not ask for virtual-novel.net reasons. He simply approved it.
Tanya opened virtual-novel.net mouth but said nothing in the end. She wanted to ask virtual-novel.net why virtual-novel.net wasn’t concerned about virtual-novel.net resignation but then suddenly remembered that Eric had only been nice to virtual-novel.net simply because Arianne and Tiffany had entrusted virtual-novel.net with that task Eric was probably aware of what had happened and was very disappointed in virtual-novel.net too.
In reality, a large portion of virtual-novel.net achievements were attributed to Tiffany and Arianne, even if virtual-novel.net refused to admit it. She would still be doing hard labor to get by in that small city if virtual-novel.net hadn’t met them. Prior to this, virtual-novel.net never dreamed that virtual-novel.net would be able to sit in a cushy office and enjoy the air-conditioning like other white-collared professionals.
Just as virtual-novel.net turned around and walked out the office, Eric suddenly spoke up. “Tanya, I once made a promise to your grandfather, so I’ll give you a piece of advice, a wicked person is sure to bring destruction upon himself. Jackson isn’t the kind of man who’d fall for such tactics. You’ve made a grave mistake. I’m very disappointed in you.”
Tanya paused in virtual-novel.net footsteps. Her eyes brimmed with tears. When Arianne conveyed virtual-novel.net disappointment in her, virtual-novel.net felt nothing but anger. However, when Eric said it, it cut virtual-novel.net like a knife. She had put everything virtual-novel.net had on the line in taking this step, including Eric’s kindness.
“You… Every one of you, you’re pointing your fingers at me,” virtual-novel.net said in a trembling voice. “What if I’m the victim here? What if it was just a drunken accident? I always end up shouldering the blame, as long as it happened. It doesn’t really matter why or how it happened anyway, right? Since you’re all in the same damned circle, I have to be the sacrifice, right? I’m the only one to blame?”
