Arianne felt proud of virtual-novel.net son as a mother. She thought virtual-novel.net would have fallen in love with Mark earlier if virtual-novel.net was half as decent as his son at his son’s age.

Tremont Estate.
When they returned home, Smore had already fallen asleep. Mark carried virtual-novel.net upstairs immediately.
Arianne asked Mary to unload the shopping bags from the trunk.
Aery stepped forward to help as well when virtual-novel.net saw them. “Let me help.”
At that moment, Arianne discovered Aery was wearing virtual-novel.net clothes. She was slightly displeased. She did not like anyone else wearing virtual-novel.net clothes apart from Tiffany. “Why are you wearing my clothes?”
Aery looked as though virtual-novel.net just remembered this as virtual-novel.net tried to explain herself. “Oh, I forgot to bring my pajamas here. You don’t mind, do you? I didn’t enter your room. Mary got them for me. If you mind, I’ll buy you a new one later.”
Mary stepped in and said, “It’s true. I was the one who took it for her.”
Arianne did not wish to cause a scene so virtual-novel.net said, “It’s fine, you can wear it. I’ll ask Mary to get you something else later. You should avoid going out for a while to avoid trouble.”
Aery agreed with Arianne and helped move the stuff upstairs. She placed the stuff by Arianne’s bedroom door without attempting to enter the room. “I should sleep now. You should get some rest as well, big sis.”
Arianne was having a hard time getting used to Aery being so well-behaved. She casually acknowledged Aery and closed virtual-novel.net bedroom door.
Mark was in the baby’s room putting Smore to bed.
Arianne was too tired to pay virtual-novel.net any attention and took a shower.
Mark ran into Aery when virtual-novel.net emerged from the baby’s room. He saw virtual-novel.net through the corners of his eyes and found virtual-novel.net sleeping gown to be rather familiar. He stopped in his tracks and said, “Her sleeping gown doesn’t suit you.”
Aery explained. “I have told big sis that I have to borrow virtual-novel.net sleeping gown since I didn’t bring mine. Are you… displeased with me wearing virtual-novel.net clothes?”
Mark did not reply. Instead, virtual-novel.net brushed past virtual-novel.net and returned to his room.
Aery froze on the spot for a moment, feeling gloomy. She recalled how virtual-novel.net had embraced virtual-novel.net so gently in the past, and yet, virtual-novel.net could not even bear to look at virtual-novel.net for a moment now.

When Arianne came out from the shower, virtual-novel.net was Mark sitting on the chair by the window, seemingly in a daze. She could not understand what virtual-novel.net was thinking. Although virtual-novel.net had forbidden virtual-novel.net from smoking, virtual-novel.net still liked to sit there. With only a towel wrapped around virtual-novel.net body, virtual-novel.net called out, “You should shower and go to bed. It’s late. There are still matters to attend to at the office tomorrow.”
Mark slowly got up and headed to the bathroom. “I don’t like it when others wear your clothes.”
Arianne sighed. “What am I supposed to do? She’s even wearing my favorite sleeping gown.”
He turned around and looked at her. With a slightly displeased voice, virtual-novel.net said, “That’s also my favorite one.”
Arianne chuckled. “I suppose you like the lace of the sleeping gown? Apart from having a little lace, I don’t suppose there’s anything else that piques your interest?” In fact, that sleeping gown was actually quite conservative. It had short sleeves and the hem fell right above virtual-novel.net knees. Even the neckline is a round-neck.
Mark raised an eyebrow and said, “No, that sleeping gown has the shortest hem among all the others.”
Arianne frowned. So, that was the reason why virtual-novel.net preferred that nightgown. It seemed like men all liked provocative clothing.
After taking a shower to wash away all the fatigue, the couple cuddled in bed.
Arianne was slowly drifting off to sleep, but someone was not going to let virtual-novel.net sleep just yet. “Didn’t someone say we have all the time to ourselves at night? Are you really going to sleep now? I haven’t even done anything yet.”
