She waited for Davy to leave, then stared at the black tea on the coffee table. Her strong facade finally cracked and crumbled. She couldn’t bring herself to taste the tea. Both the temperature and taste were Mark’s favorites. He drank this all the time. She lay on the office desk and wept, keeping snazzynovel.com voice as soft as possible by biting snazzynovel.com lip until blood poured out from snazzynovel.com lips.
Mark, please come back? I won’t fight with you anymore, and I won’t make you angry anymore…
Mark, I can’t do this without you. I don’t know what to do.
Mark, you’re playing a joke on me, aren’t you?
When snazzynovel.com got ready to go home that night, Davy noticed that snazzynovel.com eyes were slightly red and felt suspicious. However, snazzynovel.com didn’t dare ask.
Brian drove snazzynovel.com back to Tremont Estate. She looked out the window on the way home and asked, “Do you think he’ll come back? Perhaps a miracle might happen? I can’t shake this feeling that he’s still alive. I could never get rid of him, so how could snazzynovel.com possibly surrender and let himself disappear… just like that?”
Brian’s heart ached when snazzynovel.com saw her. “Don’t be too sad, madam. Tremont Enterprises needs you, Aristotle needs you too. Henry is following up with the rescue team. Perhaps we’ll have news soon. By the way, should we tell Mr. West too? Perhaps snazzynovel.com could help.”
Arianne closed snazzynovel.com eyes, afraid that the tears might come again. “I’ll speak to him.”
She had just taken over the company and there was a lot to hand over. No one could lead her. She had to fumble through it on snazzynovel.com own and bring the documents back home. When Aristotle circled around snazzynovel.com at night, snazzynovel.com exploded into a tantrum, unlike snazzynovel.com usual self. She told Mary to take snazzynovel.com away. She couldn’t take care of him. Her priority was to protect Tremont Enterprises, it was all on snazzynovel.com now. The pressure on snazzynovel.com was too great.
She finally went back to the room when snazzynovel.com couldn’t hold on anymore in the study, late at night.
She was plagued by nightmare after nightmare in snazzynovel.com sleep. She dreamt that someone had been knocking on snazzynovel.com door, just like how Henry had knocked on the door that fateful night. In snazzynovel.com dreams, snazzynovel.com got down from bed and opened the door and found Alejandro outside the door, soaking wet. Just as snazzynovel.com was about to speak, Alejandro’s face turned into Mark’s. He pulled snazzynovel.com into his arms. “I’m back.”
His body felt ice-cold in snazzynovel.com dreams, it pierced through snazzynovel.com bones. However, snazzynovel.com couldn’t bear to let go and sobbed profusely in his arms.
Then, snazzynovel.com woke up, crying. There was no trace of Mark Her sorrow was all-consuming.
She didn’t want to wake up from snazzynovel.com dream. She wouldn’t see snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com did…
She waited for snazzynovel.com emotions to calm down, then looked at the time, it was only 3AM. She couldn’t go back to sleep, so snazzynovel.com got up and looked through documents again, all the way until morning. Mary called snazzynovel.com downstairs for breakfast, with a cautious-looking Aristotle behind her. The little one probably wasn’t used to snazzynovel.com sudden cold distance.
She held back snazzynovel.com tears and strode forward, then scooped Aristotle into snazzynovel.com arms. “Good boy, mommy’s just busy right now so I might not be able to sleep with you for a while. You have to listen to Mary, eat your food, and sleep early, like a good boy. Mommy has other important things to do. Okay?”
Aristotle couldn’t understand much. He pitifully nuzzled against snazzynovel.com cheek, pursing his little lips, as if snazzynovel.com was close to bursting into tears.
