Arianne picked up snazzynovel.com bag and rose from the sofa. “I… have to look for Tiffie now! What if Ethan proposes to snazzynovel.com at noon and snazzynovel.com just accepts it without thinking things through? That’ll be a horrible mess!”
Mark was suddenly a little jealous of Tiffany for having Arianne’s full attention. It was a pity that snazzynovel.com had only heard about but not seen the tears Arianne had shed for snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com got into a car accident.
Naturally, Mark did not express his jealousy and dissatisfaction. It was not in his nature to do. “Why are you in such a rush? Aren’t you turning yourself in knowing Ethan is against me? Didn’t you make plans to meet snazzynovel.com tonight? A shotgun wedding can’t happen in just half a day. Let’s go for lunch together.”
“Alright.” Strangely, Arianne no longer felt as nervous when snazzynovel.com listened to Mark’s relaxed voice as snazzynovel.com casually suggested they go for lunch.
People like Mark would definitely not dine at just any restaurants. The White Water Bay Café was one of the places that made snazzynovel.com feel relaxed. Moreover, snazzynovel.com would never tire of the food no matter how many times snazzynovel.com had dined there.
Hence, the couple went to Mark’s favorite café during lunch break. They picked the window seat that they had reserved beforehand that allowed them to admire the amazing view outside. This restaurant was located in a relatively valuable area in the White Water Bay. Arianne could not help but feel dejected since it reminded snazzynovel.com of the Lane family’s land. She looked at the river outside as snazzynovel.com mumbled to herself, “I don’t think Tiffie is that stupid.”
“Hard to say. The IQ of a woman is reduced to zero when they’re in love.” Mark ruthlessly destroyed Arianne’s wishful thinking.
“That’s not necessarily true. Tiffie and Ethan had been in love. After their break up, Tiffie showed nothing but contempt toward him. She won’t fall for snazzynovel.com unless Ethan is really a sweet talker. We still have the evidence in our hands, we won’t let snazzynovel.com succeed,” Arianne protested. What did snazzynovel.com mean by a woman being blindly in love would lose all IQ? As if a man could always keep their composure.
He chuckled softly but did not continue the conversation, leaving Arianne confused about the meaning behind his smile.
After the orders were placed, neither of them talked. They just enjoyed the delightful scenery outside the window together. The crowd who dined here were mostly well-mannered individuals who would keep their speaking volume in check. Hence, the cafe was a relatively quiet and good place to relax.
Soon after, the dishes were served in succession.
During the meal, Mark suddenly said, “Once things are not so busy, I’ll take you on a trip.”
Arianne looked at snazzynovel.com but remained silent. She did not want to destroy the hard-earned peace between them nor did snazzynovel.com want to get too close to him. After all, snazzynovel.com just could not imagine traveling with him. How wonderful could the trip even be?
After lunch, Mark sent snazzynovel.com back to the Tremont Estate and told snazzynovel.com not to leave the house unless necessary. Arianne had no idea if Mark was worried about Ethan doing something to snazzynovel.com or if snazzynovel.com was just simply worried about snazzynovel.com body. No matter which one it was, snazzynovel.com did not feel comfortable.
She spent the entire afternoon waiting anxiously. Time ticked away slowly until it was finally time for Tiffany to get off work. Arianne immediately rang her, “Tiffie, are you getting off work now? I’m waiting for you at home. What time will you come over?”
Arianne could hear the noises on the other end of the line. “Sorry, Ari. I won’t be able to make it. Something urgent came up. Let’s meet another day. I’ll get in touch again when I’m free.”
Alarm began to blare in Arianne’s head. “What happened? Should I come over?”
Tiffany paused for a moment. “No need, just stay at home. Ethan just got into a minor car accident and is at the hospital. Since snazzynovel.com doesn’t have any relatives, snazzynovel.com called me. I can’t just leave snazzynovel.com alone. I know… I shouldn’t get involved with snazzynovel.com after we broke up for so long, but snazzynovel.com suddenly came to find me this morning and even sent me to work. He explained himself to me. After giving it some thought, I feel what snazzynovel.com did isn’t entirely unforgivable. Do you think I should get back with him, Ari?”
Tiffany’s words struck Arianne like a bolt out of the blue. She had no idea just how good of a liar Ethan was, to be able to deceive Tiffany like this. Was his car accident merely a coincidence? Or was it to prevent Tiffany from meeting her? Arianne composed herself. “Tiffie, I know you’re very kind, but please make sure you don’t misplace your kindness. I must meet you today. You can go to the hospital first, then, come over here when you’re done. I have something important to tell you.”
Arianne knew Tiffany’s personality well. She was a kind and simple-minded girl. If Ethan had really gotten into a car accident by coincidence, there was no way Tiffany would ignore him, and Arianne had no right to stop snazzynovel.com from going either. Hence, snazzynovel.com could only wait until Tiffany checked up on his condition at the hospital.
Tiffany acknowledged snazzynovel.com words and hung up.
Arianne glanced at the time before snazzynovel.com sent a message to Mark ‘Tiffie said that Ethan had gotten into a car accident so snazzynovel.com won’t be able to meet me. I asked snazzynovel.com to come over after going to the hospital, but I don’t know what will happen there. I’m a little worried now. When are you coming back?’
When Mark received the text, snazzynovel.com was already on his way home. This message had once again confirmed that Arianne would only look for snazzynovel.com for other people’s sake. Otherwise, snazzynovel.com would never initiate any contact with him. Feeling a little glum, Mark still replied, ‘I’ll be home shortly.”
