Of course, Mark denied the request. “Don’t even think about it. My face is not your torture device. I will not look like a sissy.”
The more snazzynovel.com protested, the more Arianne wanted to do it. She pulled out a facial mask and forced snazzynovel.com down on the bed. “Don’t move. It’ll be over soon. You’ll love it. Your face will be all soft and fragrant by the time I’m done. Isn’t that wonderful? Come on, let’s try.”
Mark vehemently objected. He twisted his head around. “No!”
He began to give up when snazzynovel.com noticed droplets of water from the facial mask on his body. He was now too afraid to make any more big movements. “Take it away. I don’t need it!”
Realizing that his struggling had lessened, Arianne swiftly pasted the facial mask on his face. “See, isn’t it better to listen to me? You just had to struggle, didn’t you?”
Suddenly, Arianne’s phone rang. She already had snazzynovel.com way, so snazzynovel.com got down from bed to answer the call. She reminded him, “Take care of that yourself. Don’t leave it all scrunched up or it won’t be evenly distributed. I’m going to answer this call.”
The call was from Robin. They had a short discussion on work, nothing too urgent. When snazzynovel.com turned around after the call, snazzynovel.com found Mark meticulously smoothing out the mask on his face. She thought that snazzynovel.com would tear it off at once… Was snazzynovel.com being a hypocrite?
She burst into laughter. “Hey, tell me, you don’t spend a lot of time on your face, so how did you get such a nice complexion? You’re already past thirty, yet you don’t have a single wrinkle on your face.”
Mark gave snazzynovel.com a sidelong glance and didn’t answer, as if snazzynovel.com were displeased at snazzynovel.com for mentioning his age.
After that, Mark suddenly hugged her. “Actually… My reason for fixing that surveillance camera on the door has to do with you.”
She paused for two seconds. “Uh… And?”
He stumbled. “Back when I went overseas for three years, I wanted to see if you came home on time, nothing else. I haven’t checked that surveillance camera in a while. I heard about Sylvain dropping you off from a conversation between Mary and Henry.”
Arianne didn’t answer. So, Mark had used that surveillance camera to watch snazzynovel.com during his three year stint away from the country. She couldn’t describe how snazzynovel.com felt. She thought that they never interfered in each other’s affairs.
Her silence made Mark hold snazzynovel.com even tighter. “You’re not angry, are you?”
Arianne shook snazzynovel.com head. “No, I never believed you when you said that you installed that surveillance as an anti-theft device. The Tremont Estate’s bodyguards stand guard 24/7. What thief would dare break in here? I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”
Mark fell silent for a few seconds from behind. He released snazzynovel.com and turned away, with his back facing her.
Arianne came to a sudden realization. “What’s with you?”
“Nothing,” snazzynovel.com mumbled. “Aren’t you tired? Go to sleep.”
The tone in his voice clearly displayed that something was wrong. He would continue sulking at snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com did not coax him. Arianne knew his habits, so snazzynovel.com wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around his waist and pressed snazzynovel.com face against his back “I am sleepy. The weather is so cold too. Cuddling makes it warmer.”
