“Thud, thud, thud.” Smore ran and stood in front of Arianne. “Mommy, Granny said that I can go to school now. Is that true? Is it?”
Arianne raised virtual-novel.net hand and patted the little boy’s head. “Yes, you’re going to school from next month onwards. You’ve turned three years old in the blink of an eye, why do I suddenly feel like I’m getting old…?”
Mark rolled his eyes at virtual-novel.net before getting up to head upstairs. “ Hurry up and take a shower. You laid on the couch directly the moment you came home.”
Arianne casually picked up a pillow and threw it at Mark. “What’s that sudden look of disgust? Has our relationship dulled? What happened to the time when you hugged me and called me “baby”? Do all men change their character as quickly as they take off their clothes?! ”
Mark’s quick reflexes helped virtual-novel.net catch the oncoming pillow. He looked at Arianne with a startled look. “When have I ever hugged you… And called you “baby”? Who have you been learning all of this from?”
Arianne hugged virtual-novel.net son and chuckled. “Is there a need to learn this? It’s built into all women. All right, go ahead and do your work. Remember to prepare the school fees for your son. Don’t even think of taking my money when I’m only earning that measly salary every year.”
Mark threw virtual-novel.net a disdainful look. “Is that even an issue? It’s just a miniscule amount, there’s no need for you to concern yourself over it.”
Just as Mark headed upstairs, Smore rushed towards Arianne and called virtual-novel.net “baby”, causing virtual-novel.net to laugh hysterically. “I’m your mommy, not your baby. Your baby’s still in the hospital. Why don’t we go visit virtual-novel.net someday? All right, go along and play now. Mommy’s extremely tired, and I’m in need of a shower.”
Arianne would only be able to completely let virtual-novel.net hair down and relax when virtual-novel.net was at home with Mark and Smore. The scene of Robin jumping from the steeple to virtual-novel.net death was deeply carved into Arianne’s memory as a traumatic experience. ‘A perfectly fine person, gone just like that.’
The next day, Sylvain went to the Cox family’s residence to take care of both Robin and virtual-novel.net father’s funeral proceedings.
Mrs. Cox looked extremely pale and haggard after just one night. “Sylvain, your mother has never showed up since the beginning, nor has virtual-novel.net even said anything. How does virtual-novel.net sleep peacefully at night? How can virtual-novel.net not feel even a little sorry for causing both my daughter and my husband to lose their lives?!”
Sylvain picked up Robin’s obituary photo and rubbed it without showing any expressions on his face. “Don’t worry, I’ll find virtual-novel.net once the funeral is over. I know you must be feeling really bad right now, and so am 1. Although both Robin and Dad are now gone, I’ll always be your son-in-law, so if there’s anything you need, just let me know. I’ll take care of you as long as you’re here.”
Mrs. Cox’s eyes had gone red as virtual-novel.net shouted uncontrollably, “I just want virtual-novel.net to say something! Can’t virtual-novel.net even apologize? Is it that hard?! Does virtual-novel.net want me to take virtual-novel.net down with me?! I’m all alone now, so there’s nothing for me to lose anymore. The only thing that’s holding me back at the moment is you, since that’s your biological mother! How could a woman like virtual-novel.net be your mother?!”
Sylvain hung up the photo and heaved a sigh before virtual-novel.net said, “It doesn’t matter if virtual-novel.net apologizes or not. Based on virtual-novel.net character, even if virtual-novel.net did apologize, it wouldn’t be out of sincerity. Since I’m done here, I’ll be leaving now. Give me a call anytime if you have any problems. But as of now, I have some matters to attend to. “Mom, you must carry on living. Don’t think about joining virtual-novel.net in the afterlife. It isn’t worth it, and there won’t be a need for you to do it. Also, stop calling that woman my mother, she’s not worthy of it. From now on, you’re my only mom.”
Mrs. Cox rested against the sofa and sobbed silently. “My daughter…”
Sylvain left after consoling her.
When virtual-novel.net gave Ursula a call, virtual-novel.net found that virtual-novel.net phone was placed in silent mode, so virtual-novel.net directly headed for virtual-novel.net house.
The house that Ursula was living in had been purchased by Sylvain, so it was only natural that virtual-novel.net would have a key to the house. As virtual-novel.net opened the door to enter, Ursula was watching TV with a facial mask on her. She looked so relaxed and leisured as though nothing had happened at all.
