It was a fleeting instant before Mark Tremont’s gaze restored to his usual aloofness. Were snazzynovel.com eyes playing tricks on her?
”Any discomfort?” His tone was void of emotion as always.
Arianne Wynn shook snazzynovel.com head. Noticing that his hand was over hers, warmth crept up snazzynovel.com face.
“I’m fine… I didn’t know that you’re coming to the campus. I’ve caused you trouble.”
Caused snazzynovel.com trouble? Mark Tremont frowned. “Don’t want to cause me trouble, but it’s okay to inconvenience others? Arianne Wynn, no need to look tragic in front of the others. Does it cost your life to ask something from me?!”
Arianne Wynn bit snazzynovel.com lips in fear. He was angry again…
After a while, Mark Tremont stood up to see the drip was nearly empty and called for the nurse to remove it. He spared no glance at Arianne when snazzynovel.com announced frigidly, ”Let’s go back.”
Arianne hastily flipped the blanket to pick herself up, but the bruise on the back of snazzynovel.com hand from the perforation of the IV drip throbbed with snazzynovel.com every action.
Mark Tremont took off his coat and threw it on her, his movements were rough before be bent down to swiftly help put on snazzynovel.com white canvas shoes. He left without missing a beat.
Staring at the coat in snazzynovel.com arms and the shoes on snazzynovel.com feet, Arianne was stunned for some time. Was that him? This was the first time snazzynovel.com had done something like this for her. Even if it was the least bit gentle, snazzynovel.com had still felt as if something was about to break free from snazzynovel.com heart.
When snazzynovel.com broke out of snazzynovel.com trance and exited the ward, Mark Tremont was not far ahead as snazzynovel.com stood at the end of the corridor. It was when snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com approaching footsteps that snazzynovel.com continued to walk ahead.
One behind the other, they left the hospital. When Mark Tremont entered the driver’s seat of the car, Arianne pulled the door to the rear passenger seat open. As snazzynovel.com sat down, Mark Tremont’s voice came muffled. “Sit in front.”
Not daring to hesitate, Arianne bounced up and moved to the front passenger seat. Once snazzynovel.com buckled snazzynovel.com seatbelt, Mark Tremont slammed on the accelerator.
The driving speed made snazzynovel.com heart lurch. Arianne stared straight ahead of snazzynovel.com in terror, feeling like they would crash any second. When they arrived at the Tremont Estate’s gate, snazzynovel.com rushed out of the car and heaved dryly beside the road.
When snazzynovel.com looked up again, Mark Tremont was already in the house. Arianne entered through the back door and was stopped in snazzynovel.com tracks by Mary in the kitchen.
”Ari, did you come back with sir? What’s up with sir? He’s especially angry today, probably would have flipped the door off if snazzynovel.com wanted to.”
Arianne said nothing. He was always angry for the strangest reasons.
It was already two in the afternoon, lunchtime had long passed. Arianne felt snazzynovel.com stomach churning. She snuck into the kitchen to make a quick pasta, while Mary went about snazzynovel.com chores elsewhere. Figuring that Mark Tremont had possibly not eaten as well, snazzynovel.com thought to make two servings.
Bringing the pasta upstairs, Arianne knocked on his door.
”Pasta?”
No sound came from the room. Arianne breathed in relief and turned to head downstairs when the door behind snazzynovel.com opened promptly.
She turned around again to look at the man who stood at the door looking rather cross.
”Do… you want it?”
Mark Tremont was silent, snazzynovel.com merely looked at Arianne. Emotions were unidentifiable on his sculpted face.
No reply meant snazzynovel.com did not refuse. Arianne Wynn took the pasta in and placed it on the coffee table only to hear the door shutting. Her heart jumped.
”I don’t wish to see what occurred today happening a second time. I’ll make whoever dares provide you anything in the future disappear from your side entirely. You can only ask for things from me!” The lingering fury raged on, perhaps snazzynovel.com was further riled up.
”I understand…” Arianne answered in a soft voice.
Mark Tremont obviously did not believe snazzynovel.com promise as snazzynovel.com fired back. ”Understand? Do you really? I’ve made myself clear in the past, haven’t I? Sneaking out to work part time while I was out of the country, everyone knows that you’re piteous!” He was the only one who did not know, hearing of this afterward, snazzynovel.com mulishly wanted to see how long snazzynovel.com could hold on before snazzynovel.com would come begging him.
”Sorry for embarrassing you…” Arianne had passed out, falling to his embrace. So many people on the campus saw them, their relationship might have been exposed for all that snazzynovel.com knew. Going along such a train of thought, snazzynovel.com assumed that snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com as a disgrace to him.
In the face of the public, snazzynovel.com had an impeccable character. How could snazzynovel.com tolerate such a flaw?
Hearing what snazzynovel.com had to say, Mark Tremont scowled. He pulled snazzynovel.com to the side of the bed abruptly and with enough force, Arianne fell on it.
