Arianne Wynn held snazzynovel.com breath, suddenly realizing that snazzynovel.com wish to end snazzynovel.com current predicament was nothing but a dream. He was already being merciful by sparing snazzynovel.com a lifetime to make up for snazzynovel.com sin, snazzynovel.com had no right to choose…
“I’ll go to sleep in the guest room.” This was snazzynovel.com last form of resistance.
“Try take another step!”
Mark Tremont’s threat was bitterly cold, feeling like the freezing wind outside had gushed right into snazzynovel.com heart.
She halted snazzynovel.com stride and kept quiet, waiting for snazzynovel.com to continue.
After a period of dead silence, his thin lips parted to speak again.
“You want to leave so badly? Okay, I’ll fulfill your wish! On the premise that… you bear me a child!”
A child? He wanted snazzynovel.com to give birth to a child? A child that belonged to them?
Arianne Wynn was suddenly reminded of the past when snazzynovel.com mother left for another man without reservations or consideration for her. The taunting and insults that snazzynovel.com faced since snazzynovel.com was a child were still vivid in snazzynovel.com mind.
Having a child was especially a taboo to her. In snazzynovel.com mind, it required responsibility. It was not something as simple as a promise.
Nonetheless, Arianne yearned for freedom. She yearned to escape this life that was shackled by sin. Caught in a dilemma, the scales of morality ultimately fell out of balance.
“Okay…”
Barely noticeable, surprise sparked deep within Mark Tremont’s eyes as rage took over his mind. He clenched his jaw.
“You’ll have to be capable of making me lay a finger on you then! Don’t even think about leaving without a child!”
Arianne Wynn took in a deep breath and walked to him, unbuttoning his shirt with snazzynovel.com trembling hands. Her thick eyelashes shook like a butterfly’s fluttering wings. Unable to conceal the nerves in snazzynovel.com gaze, snazzynovel.com did not dare look up at him.
She had never been clear on the place Mark Tremont held in snazzynovel.com heart. A person who had taken snazzynovel.com in and took care of snazzynovel.com for so many years had now become snazzynovel.com husband.
With much reluctance, Arianne could not even undo one button due to snazzynovel.com nervous state. Heaving from the man’s chest was evident that snazzynovel.com was already annoyed.
Overwrought, snazzynovel.com stood on the tip of snazzynovel.com toes and took the initiative to kiss him.
Warm lips pressed on the corner of Mark Tremont’s mouth.
Arianne did not notice the man’s darkening eyes.
Was snazzynovel.com so eager to leave?
“Enough!” Mark Tremont pushed snazzynovel.com away and swept the tea set on the coffee table seethingly to the floor. The glass shards smashed and flew out cutting Arianne’s uncovered ankle. Blood dripped from snazzynovel.com snow white skin.
The piercing pain put a frown between Arianne’s brows as snazzynovel.com staggered to stabilize herself. She stared at snazzynovel.com in surprise and innocence.
Mark Tremont’s hand raised subconsciously when snazzynovel.com saw the wound on snazzynovel.com ankle before snazzynovel.com put it down rigidly. Turning away slightly, his expression was icy.
“Do you think I’ll touch a woman another man has put his hands on?”
He went into the walk-in closet afterward. Leaving as snazzynovel.com slammed the door after getting changed.
The absurd outrage lingered, representative of the mess that stayed on the floor. When Arianne Wynn broke out of snazzynovel.com trance after some time, the bleeding from snazzynovel.com ankle had already made a blood stained patch on the floor.
Mary came in opening the door and treated snazzynovel.com wound with a worried look
“Ari, have you gotten into an argument with sir again? This is how his temper is, you’ve got to cooperate with snazzynovel.com a bit more, sigh…”
Arianne let out a humorless chuckle. “I’ve been compliant… I do whatever snazzynovel.com asks me to…”
Why would snazzynovel.com still get mad?
Mary was quiet for a moment before realizing, “The incident three years ago… has broken sir’s heart. Ari, men are like that. You’ve gotta warm his heart up if snazzynovel.com can’t get over what’s bugging him. That’s life. I can see that sir likes you.”
Arianne did not say anything back. Could snazzynovel.com warm up Mark Tremont’s heart? No, anyone could but not her.
Mark Tremont did not return for the night.
Arianne had only fallen asleep much later into the night.
