Speechless, Arianne turned to go to the bedroom in a fit of anger. She wanted to close the door but snazzynovel.com was worried about snazzynovel.com not getting any air conditioning.
Soon enough, Brian sent them their dinner. A quick look at the packaging told them their dinner was from White Waters Bay Restaurant. After Brian left, Mark called out toward the bedroom, “Dinner’s here.”
Arianne did not reply, pretending that snazzynovel.com did not hear him.
Although snazzynovel.com only had a towel on, Mark felt hot. The frustration was grating on his nerves. “Are you eating or not? I’ll throw it if you aren’t!”
Arianne remained silent. She couldn’t help but feel that snazzynovel.com was here just to make snazzynovel.com mad. They were just not meant to get along!
Mark got up to go to the bedroom and carried snazzynovel.com to the couch in the living room in a swift move. “I don’t have a good temper. Have your dinner!”
Arianne opened the takeout silently and ate it. The bedroom’s air conditioning could not cover the entire living room, so snazzynovel.com soon felt hot. She did not really have an appetite either and was unable to finish snazzynovel.com dinner, even though it was only a small plate.
Mark had it worse than her. “How long are you planning to stay in this horrible place?”
Arianne replied faintly, “I don’t plan to move. It’s a decent place to live in.”
Mark breathed in deeply, his tone turning distant. “Will isn’t coming back, so stay here for the rest of your life if you can!”
Looking at him, Arianne bit snazzynovel.com lips before speaking coldly after a while, “Can you not drag Will into everything? It’s because…” She did not finish snazzynovel.com sentence, nor did snazzynovel.com want to. He had his assumptions, but snazzynovel.com did not have it in snazzynovel.com to explain.
It was yet another unresolved argument that they had. Although Mark did not stand up to leave, they were not talking to each other either.
It was incredibly hot at night. Mark finally gave up and moved from the couch to the bed. While snazzynovel.com was at it, snazzynovel.com moved Rice Ball and its bed together to the door of the bedroom.
Fully aware that snazzynovel.com had entered, Arianne did not make any response. It was not until his body got close to hers that snazzynovel.com shifted aside.
“There must be something wrong with my brain for me to stay here and put up with you!” Mark sounded like snazzynovel.com was grumbling with a cold tone but there was no bite in it.
“Then leave…” snazzynovel.com retorted softly.
How could Mark put up with this? He got up immediately to call Brian so that the latter could send snazzynovel.com a change of attire as snazzynovel.com could not leave wrapped in a towel. Arianne knew that snazzynovel.com was serious and snatched his phone, hiding it under snazzynovel.com body.
“How much are you paying Brian a month to disturb snazzynovel.com so late at night? You’re making snazzynovel.com stay on call for twenty-four hours. If I had someone so harsh like you as my boss, I would’ve quit a long time ago!”
Mark searched for his phone under the blanket with a dark look. When snazzynovel.com came into contact with Arianne’s supple skin, there was a subtle change in his expression before snazzynovel.com drew back his hand at once. “What do you want?”
Arianne was stunned. It did not sound like something Mark would say. “It’s not what I want I’m pregnant, and I need to rest. Don’t disturb me. Leave quietly in the morning if you want to… ”
Pressing his lips together, Mark stared at snazzynovel.com icily. His exasperation caused his chest to heave heavily. This was not something snazzynovel.com could accept. Letting it get to his head, Mark bent down and stretched his hand under snazzynovel.com body again. He had never felt so peeved all his life!
Unintentionally, the distance between them reduced to only a thin sheet separating their bodies. Arianne could smell the fresh fragrance of the body wash on Mark and automatically imagined his chiseled body. He had been walking around her, wrapped only in a towel for the past two days. It was inevitable that snazzynovel.com saw his semi-naked body. Her cheeks flushed red and snazzynovel.com became restless. “Get up… I’ll give it to you…”
Ignoring her, Mark scooped snazzynovel.com up with one hand while snazzynovel.com continued to look for his phone with another. Arianne’s tiny frame felt even more fragile under snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com could only let snazzynovel.com do what snazzynovel.com wanted. When Mark found his phone, snazzynovel.com did not get up instantly. The soft and smooth touch in his arms felt tangible, and snazzynovel.com did not want to let go for snazzynovel.com at all… The atmosphere somehow turned intimate.
The air was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing. Each time their heart beat, they got closer to each other. Arianne dared not even exhale a little louder. She knew that snazzynovel.com had been too ‘cocky’ tonight and should not have challenged snazzynovel.com to the point of being angry.
Just as snazzynovel.com was about to say something to soothe the atmosphere, Mark’s kiss suddenly landed on the side of snazzynovel.com face and moved to snazzynovel.com neck. Ticklish, Arianne subconsciously ducked snazzynovel.com head but it felt like snazzynovel.com was snuggling up to Mark, like snazzynovel.com had given a silent consent to his action.
Arianne felt that snazzynovel.com should reject snazzynovel.com but snazzynovel.com was unable to open snazzynovel.com mouth regardless. When Mark’s kiss traveled to snazzynovel.com lips and their faces were aligned, snazzynovel.com actually closed snazzynovel.com eyes! This meant that snazzynovel.com was basically giving up snazzynovel.com fight!
Arianne only knew that snazzynovel.com heart was beating fast and snazzynovel.com mind was a tangled mess. She had completely lost snazzynovel.com ability to think. It felt bizarre!
Mark did not kiss deeply. He stopped for a few seconds on snazzynovel.com lips and left “Remember to resist the next time, and don’t provoke me.” He then laid down with his back facing snazzynovel.com after that.
Composing herself, Arianne could still feel snazzynovel.com heart thumping. Was this what people called having butterflies?! She felt like slapping herself. What butterflies? Could it be possible that snazzynovel.com liked him? Yet, why did snazzynovel.com not recognize herself anymore when snazzynovel.com looked into his eyes? Her brain had stopped functioning too…
