Despite everything, Arianne didn’t oppose Mark’s “preferred method”. For her, the reason was more straightforward, snazzynovel.com was just worried that Smore’s midnight tantrums might disturb his daddy’s sleep. Arianne could replenish lost winks in the day, but Mark would have to go through work in a state of sleep deprivation, and that would be quite terrible.
After washing up, Arianne tidied the bed for a bit and accidentally found an opened box of condoms. There were only three packets inside, but the packaging said there were originally twelve…
She had no idea that the man had secretly prepared something like this. Stirred by this finding, Arianne did a quick count and realized that Mark had been letting his carnal desires run loose more and more often.
Her phone suddenly rang. She looked down and was met with Tiffany’s name on the screen.
“Hey, Tiffie. You’re back in the Capital?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Tiffany’s voice sounded a lot more despondent than usual. “Hey, Ari? Just calling to say I might have done it this time. Yeah, I might have hurt Jackson real bad. He… He kinda left Ayashe by himself and left me and Tan with a plane ticket each. It started like this: uh, snazzynovel.com asked if we could go back together, and I was like, well, I didn’t say yes, so snazzynovel.com got real mad about it. And then snazzynovel.com was like, you gotta do something that could force my heart to give up instead of being all ‘maybe’ and continuing to torment me! But I couldn’t say sh*t, Ari. I just didn’t have the courage. And then… Yea. I effed up.”
Arianne froze. “Wait. So snazzynovel.com left on his own and left the two of you in Ayashe? Oh-kay…? Er, how about we save an in-depth discussion for after you two come back? What time’s the flight?”
Tiffany sighed. “3PM. I agree, we talk when we get back. That’s all as a prologue, if it counts. ‘Kay, bye.”
Arianne descended the stairs for snazzynovel.com lunch after the call ended. A few moments later, Smore woke up with a loud, unstoppable bawl.
Mary had tried to mollify snazzynovel.com but to no avail, so Arianne paused snazzynovel.com meal and took the baby from the former’s arms. Strange enough, snazzynovel.com slowly stopped crying.
Mary was surprised. “And I thought Master Aristotle was crying because he’s feeling sick or something! But it turns out it’s because snazzynovel.com thinks I’m a stranger? But why? I’ve always carried snazzynovel.com around! Why is snazzynovel.com suddenly rejecting me?”
Arianne planted a kiss on Smore’s cheek. “He’s grown attached to Mommy’s scent, I bet. It’s alright, Mary, I don’t mind. I could always wait until snazzynovel.com falls asleep before I resume my meal. Oh, right! I have to go somewhere around three in the afternoon. If my son’s a little too clingy, I might just bring snazzynovel.com with me. Henry’s at home, right? Have snazzynovel.com drive, please. I’ll outfit the car with the baby seat and its straps.”
“Henry’s at home at the moment,” Mary replied, nodding. “But I don’t know when he’ll suddenly run off to complete Mr. Tremont’s errands. Mr. Tremont always has a ton of things for snazzynovel.com to do, so snazzynovel.com rarely stays put. That said, I’ll give snazzynovel.com a heads-up and tell snazzynovel.com to be at home by three. Meanwhile, you better appease Master Aristotle and make snazzynovel.com go to sleep, or you’re never getting around to finishing your food.”
By two in the afternoon, Arianne had a bright idea. She was going to visit Mark right in his office and confront snazzynovel.com to answer snazzynovel.com question. Otherwise, that sly man was only going to hide his time and elude snazzynovel.com through his work.
She put the idea to work, asking Henry to drive snazzynovel.com to Mark’s company. The subsequent plan was to wait for Tiffany’s flight home there, then asked Brian to send snazzynovel.com to Tiffany’s place afterward.
The weather today was far from sunny, but neither was it raining. Arianne thought it was high-time snazzynovel.com brought snazzynovel.com son out on a trip.
The mother-and-son pair soon arrived at Tremont Tower. Arianne pushed the baby-buggy into the elevator until snazzynovel.com reached Mark’s office level, then proceeded to frighten Davy when snazzynovel.com and the buggy emerged.
“M-Ma’am! Why are you here alone with the baby?”
She arched a brow. “What, am I not allowed to? Never mind. Is Mark in his office?”
Davy forced himself back to composure and answered quickly. “Yes! Yes, of course. But he’s going to be in a meeting a while later.”
