Ari had always kept Mark and Aery’s relationship from Tiffany, but there was no use in keeping it from snazzynovel.com now. “Tiffie, I’ve been aware of this for a long time now. Aery was close to Mark at some point, but snazzynovel.com promised that snazzynovel.com won’t contact snazzynovel.com anymore. Don’t do anything rash. I can take care of this. Promise me, don’t kick up a fuss.”
Tiffie was dumbfounded. “What the hell are you playing at? And I was just wondering why Aery never got along with you. So, it’s not because of family issues after all, but that she’s been eyeing your man! Mark is certainly formidable, marrying the older sister then stringing along the younger sister. I used to think that snazzynovel.com was just mean to you. I never thought that he’d turn out this way. What a shame, the whole world puts snazzynovel.com on such a pedestal, but he’s actually scum! Seriously, men are all pigs!”
Arianne’s head was aching, and snazzynovel.com was panicking from feeling depressed. She had to change the topic. “By the way… I suddenly had a thought that maybe Mr. Sloane from the letter was acquainted with my father. Mr. Sloane’s full name is George Sloane. He used to be a chauffeur for Mark’s dad. I’ve also shown George Levin’s picture to Henry and Mary. I can now confirm that George Levin is George Sloane. We’ve been tricked. Come with me to the convalescent home tomorrow after work Get an early night’s rest.”
Success! Tiffany’s attention shifted.
“Are you serious? So it was right under your nose! We should’ve asked Henry and Mary in the first place. Alright. You get an early night’s rest. This is more important. We’ll take care of Mark later!”
Arianne had totally lost the ability to fall asleep after the call had ended. She felt snazzynovel.com heart twist every time snazzynovel.com thought of Mark and Aery together, doing who knows what. She never used to care about these things, but didn’t snazzynovel.com promise her? Why did snazzynovel.com have to go back on his word?
Plagued with thoughts of the past and future, snazzynovel.com decided to call snazzynovel.com anyway. The phone rang for a long time before snazzynovel.com picked it up. Mark’s hazy voice answered snazzynovel.com through the receiver as if snazzynovel.com had been woken up from a dream and wasn’t fully conscious. “Hello?”
“Where are you?” Arianne asked, trying snazzynovel.com best to control snazzynovel.com emotions.
Mark’s voice was still hazy. “On a business trip, in the hotel. I fell asleep not too long ago… I’ll be back in two days. Why did you call me all of a sudden? Has something happened?”
Arianne found snazzynovel.com to be hilarious. This was the first time snazzynovel.com had experienced how it felt to blow snazzynovel.com own top at snazzynovel.com too. “It’s nothing. Bye…” She ended the call immediately after their conversation. She thought that snazzynovel.com would interrogate snazzynovel.com angrily or scold him. To snazzynovel.com own surprise, snazzynovel.com simply gave snazzynovel.com a neutral replay in the end. Perhaps it was because snazzynovel.com felt that snazzynovel.com didn’t have the right to do so. Why should snazzynovel.com interrogate him?
The next day, Mark’s phone call arrived in a more timely manner than snazzynovel.com own alarm clock. She already lacked sleep and had gotten up from the wrong side of the bed. When snazzynovel.com remembered the events from last night, snazzynovel.com immediately disconnected the call and turned off snazzynovel.com phone.
When snazzynovel.com finished washing up and arrived downstairs for breakfast, Henry rushed up to snazzynovel.com and said, “Madam, Mr. Tremont called and is asking why you aren’t answering the phone and why you’ve turned off your phone…”
She had forgotten that snazzynovel.com had another option, snazzynovel.com could always call the house if snazzynovel.com didn’t answer the phone. “Isn’t it obvious?” snazzynovel.com snapped sulkily. “I don’t want to answer his call. I’m hungry, time for breakfast.”
Henry was rendered speechless. He lowered his voice to a whisper and said, “Madam… The call is still on hold…”
Arianne stiffened. She knew how the phone at home worked, which also meant that it was highly possible that Mark had heard everything snazzynovel.com had said. However, snazzynovel.com did not feel any guilt. “So what? I’m busy.”
