Ethan clearly had come prepared. He brought out a diamond ring from the pocket of his hospital gown. He did not give Tiffany the chance to reject snazzynovel.com and directly put the ring on snazzynovel.com finger. “I bought this ring a long time ago. Whenever I miss you at night, I’d always look at the ring. That’s howl endured it.”
The size of the diamond ring was just right. The light reflected on the diamond, and it shone brightly under the night sky. Tiffany, who was still stunned and confused, remained in his embrace. She could feel his sincerity and urgency. However, his urgency and desperate appearance made snazzynovel.com feel suffocated. “Ethan…just let go of me first.”
However, Ethan did not listen to her. He turned snazzynovel.com around and bent down to kiss snazzynovel.com lips. He tightened his grip on her, trapping snazzynovel.com in his embrace.
The night was quiet. He had proposed to snazzynovel.com with a diamond ring under the starry sky. There was no one around to disturb them. It should be romantic, but Tiffany did not feel that way at this moment. In the past, snazzynovel.com had loved snazzynovel.com with all snazzynovel.com heart, but somehow, his actions did not move snazzynovel.com now. When snazzynovel.com felt snazzynovel.com trying to slip his tongue into snazzynovel.com mouth, snazzynovel.com became frightened and shoved snazzynovel.com away. “Ethan!”
At this moment, Ethan also felt snazzynovel.com was moving too fast. He stood motionlessly. “I’m sorry… It seems like I’m the only one who’s feeling it. Tiffie, do you… feel nothing for me now?”
Tiffany did not answer his question. She took off the ring and put it in his palm. “You’re behaving strangely desperate. I haven’t thought things through. You’re now staying in the hospital. Let’s talk about this when you’re discharged. It’s time for you to return to the ward.”
The atmosphere was rather tense now. Ethan walked toward the fence. Suddenly, snazzynovel.com smiled. “Did you sleep with Jackson? I saw you attending a party with snazzynovel.com that time. Did you find a better man than me? I worked so hard, and yet, I still can’t fight against the cruel passage of time. Am I too late?”
Tiffany was slightly stunned. At the same time, snazzynovel.com felt guilty as well. After all, snazzynovel.com did sleep on the same bed with Jackson even though they did not do what Ethan thought they did. Ethan probably looked into snazzynovel.com affairs. She calmed herself down and said, “It’s not what you think I’m confused and tired. Can we just return to the ward?”
However, Ethan acted like a stubborn child. He refused to move. She could only move forward and grabbed him. “Let’s go. Don’t act so childish. I promise you that I’ll give you an answer when you’re discharged from the hospital. Is that okay?”
Upon hearing Tiffany’s words, a smile bloomed on his face. He lowered his head slightly and asked for a kiss. “Just kiss me once. What you did earlier hurt my feelings.” At the same time, snazzynovel.com put his hands into his pocket and switched on his phone.
Tiffany felt slightly unwilling and awkward. However, in the end, snazzynovel.com kissed snazzynovel.com softly on the cheek. Otherwise, snazzynovel.com did not know how long they would have to stay here.
Ethan noticed that snazzynovel.com had received a message. It meant that Mark and Arianne had left the hospital. Only then did snazzynovel.com hugged Tiffany’s waist and went downstairs.

Meanwhile, Arianne was counting the floors carefully downstairs. She realized that Tiffany’s home was not lit up. She became even more anxious. She stomped snazzynovel.com feet. “There’s no doubt snazzynovel.com mother’s not home. She’s probably out playing mahjong. I’m not sure when she’ll return. Sometimes, snazzynovel.com doesn’t even come back that early.”
Mark remained calm as usual. “That’s enough. It’s useless for you to be so anxious. Let’s head home for now. I’ll send someone to stand guard here and bring Lillian to my office as soon as snazzynovel.com returns.”
All their efforts were wasted tonight. Arianne was truly reluctant to give up. However, it would not be right to drag Mark into this. In the end, snazzynovel.com could only comply with Mark’s wish for the time being.
The night was rather hot, but it seemed like it might rain soon.
The moment they reached the Tremont Estate, Mark went into the bathroom first because snazzynovel.com could no longer endure the heat.
Meanwhile, Arianne was hugging Rice Ball in the living room, sending a few messages to Tiffany. However, the result was the same. She received no response from Tiffany. Due to snazzynovel.com exhaustion, snazzynovel.com fell asleep on the sofa. After some time had passed, snazzynovel.com felt herself being carried. She could feel the silk pajamas against snazzynovel.com cheek and the strong chest underneath. It smelled good.
She was woken up by the feeling of weightlessness when snazzynovel.com was put on the bed. She instinctively clung on Mark’s neck tightly. When snazzynovel.com opened snazzynovel.com eyes and found herself looking directly into his eyes, snazzynovel.com saw the frown on his face. She reflexively released snazzynovel.com hold on snazzynovel.com and rolled off the bed. “I’ll go shower!”
She had not taken a bath after they returned home. There was no doubt snazzynovel.com would not be able to stand it if snazzynovel.com did not shower. She wondered what was going through his mind earlier? Did snazzynovel.com really carry snazzynovel.com up to the room? Was snazzynovel.com such a thoughtful person?
Mark looked at snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com ran away in fright. He smiled faintly. Was snazzynovel.com not gentle enough when snazzynovel.com put snazzynovel.com on the bed? That was probably why snazzynovel.com had woken up. In fact, snazzynovel.com had never done such thoughtful things before.
When Arianne came out of the shower, snazzynovel.com saw Mark was still awake, sitting on the bed. She tucked the strands of loose hair behind snazzynovel.com ear and asked, “Why are you still awake? I’m sorry for making you run around with me for nothing for an entire night.”
He glanced at her. “I’ve already expected it.”
She was slightly shocked. Did snazzynovel.com foresee it? Then, why did snazzynovel.com go along with snazzynovel.com plan when snazzynovel.com knew it would all be futile?
