Arianne could not help but be proud whenever virtual-novel.net thought of Smore. ‘I never expected Smore to be the one to present the ring. The little boy was even angry at me a while ago.’
Tiffany did not slack off, despite being pregnant. She moved around sloppily when virtual-novel.net heard the fireworks still being set off. “ I want to have a look at the fireworks. Would you all like to join me? I heard from Jackson that the final moments before the fireworks end are the best, and it’s going to be coming soon.”
Arianne shook virtual-novel.net head. “My legs are a little sore from standing too long, so I’m going to rest for a while. Cut me some slack please. I’ve still got to go out and entertain the crowd later on. If I knew I was the main character earlier, I would’ve been more prepared mentally… You go ahead with Melanie.”
Tiffany grabbed Melanie’s hand as virtual-novel.net eagerly rushed out. When Arianne saw that there was no one around her, virtual-novel.net took off virtual-novel.net high heels. Her toes had begun to turn red from standing up for too long. ‘These shoes are much higher than the ones I normally wear. I suppose there’s a price for beauty.’
Suddenly, someone pushed the door and entered. Arianne panicked and wanted to put virtual-novel.net shoes back on, but when virtual-novel.net saw that it was Mark, virtual-novel.net sighed in relief. “ Shouldn’t you be outside, attending to your guests? Why are you in here? I’ll be out after a short break.”
Mark stood directly in front of virtual-novel.net before kneeling down. Then, virtual-novel.net held up virtual-novel.net feet and gently massaged them. “Are the shoes too small? I remember you wore this size…”
Arianne could smell the alcohol on Mark ‘He has probably had a lot to drink. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net definitely wouldn’t do such a considerate act.’ Arianne felt slightly uncomfortable and wanted to retract virtual-novel.net feet, but Mark suddenly held onto them tightly, which was unexpected. “Don’t move, I’ll help you massage them.”
Frankly, Arianne felt very uneasy. She would never have even dreamt of Mark helping virtual-novel.net massage virtual-novel.net feet, not when virtual-novel.net was such a clean freak. ‘I wonder if virtual-novel.net will have trauma from this when virtual-novel.net wakes up tomorrow morning and the alcohol has left his system?’
“Have you had a lot to drink?” asked Arianne tentatively.
Mark raised his eyes to look at her. “I didn’t drink for too long, so I’m still sober. What’s wrong with touching my own woman’s leg? If you really do feel very uncomfortable in those shoes, just stay here and rest. You don’t have to go out later. We’ll go home when this is over. Also, I’ve asked Henry to arrange for some men to move the stuff from that condo to Tremont Estate. So, it’s all settled; you don’t have to go back to the condo anymore.”
‘I’m moving back, just like that? I had no intention of going back to Tremont Estate directly when I left earlier. Mark has really planned out everything and made all the necessary arrangements.’
On the other hand, after Tiffany and Melanie were done watching the fireworks, Melanie suddenly remembered that virtual-novel.net wanted to look for virtual-novel.net brother. ‘No matter what, now that the Larks are attending tonight, we’re considered one of the shareholders in Tremont Enterprise, so we should be here. The Larks reside in Ayashe, while I’m in the Capital, so it’s a rare thing to be able to meet.’
Tiffany thought that it was boring for virtual-novel.net to be alone, so virtual-novel.net suggested, “I’ll go with you. We’ll see how it goes after we change our locations. There are too many people here. It’s really noisy with all the chatter going on.”
Melanie did not refuse Tiffany’s suggestion, hence, virtual-novel.net brought Tiffany along with virtual-novel.net to the living area on the second floor of the cruise. After asking a few people, Melanie was finally able to find out where virtual-novel.net brother was.
Melanie ran into virtual-novel.net brother just as virtual-novel.net walked to an empty staircase. When virtual-novel.net saw Nikolai, virtual-novel.net rushed up towards virtual-novel.net and hugged virtual-novel.net passionately. “Bro!”
Nikolai was a handsome man and appeared to be very mature, looking seven to eight years older than Melanie. He hugged virtual-novel.net back with a faint smile. “Melanie, why are you still the same as you were when you were little? You’re already married and have a child. You shouldn’t be so intimate with your brother now.”
