Thinking up to this point, she went to the end of the corridor and called Ethan. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Ethan answered indifferently. “What’s up?”Tiffany didn’t really care about his attitude anymore. She could accept someone who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. “Thank you.”Ethan was glued to his computer screen and didn’t really pay any attention to her words. “For what?”Her lips curled into a smile. “Stop pretending. It was you who donated money to my dad, right? Why did you choose to remain anonymous? I’m sorry for making you feel lonely lately. There’s just so much going on with my family now. Don’t be mad at me. I’ll find you when I’m free.”Ethan frowned. He wanted to deny it but didn’t say the words that reached his lips. His attention was on his computer, and he didn’t feel like explaining himself. “I’m busy, I’ll hang up now.”......It was after midnight by the time Mark returned to Tremont Estate, and Arianne was alrea

Tiffany bit her spoon, looking like a deer in the headlights. She shifted her gaze between Will and Arianne, then chose to remain silent. This wasn’t something she could solve.Will frowned at her. “How did you know I was here?”Wendy smiled and took a seat beside him. “Would you believe me if I told you I was just passing by?”Will didn’t say anything, but Arianne spoke up instead. “Have you eaten yet? If you don’t mind, you can join us.”Wendy threw a smile at her then ordered the waiter to bring her a plate and a set of cutlery. “You all don’t have any plans after lunch right? I’m thinking of shopping with Will. Would you girls like to join?”Arianne was the first to answer her. “I have to continue with my job hunt later.”“I gotta return to the hospital and take care of my dad. You two just go enjoy!” Tiffany quickly followed.A look of pity appeared on Wendy’s face. “Alright, guess it’s just Will and I then.”Shortly after that, Will set his cutlery down. “I’m done.”Whil

Mary paused, then suggested, “You can call him and ask if he will come back for dinner or something. Husband and wife should communicate more, you can’t go on living your own lives like this. I know both of you got married in the first place for a reason… To be honest, based on sir’s personality, the fact that he can forget about the past and still marry you means that he really loves you. You can’t act so indifferent toward him. You know how he is, so why can’t you just listen to him? As long as two people can live together in harmony, does it matter who is the one that lowers their head?”Arianne felt as though she had just heard the most absurd advice. “Are you kidding me, Mary? He loves me? I was only eight when I entered the Tremont family, and he was already eighteen. He probably already had girlfriends back then. I was still a child. How could he have possibly fallen in love with me? We only got married due to the incident from three years ago… It isn’t even an exaggeration to

Mark Tremont took a card out of his wallet and tossed it onto the coffee table. He then ignored her presence and picked up a magazine to read.Arianne took the card, thanked him, then turned around and went upstairs. She specifically informed Mary that she wasn’t going to eat dinner. For now, all she wanted to do was sleep. Her eyelids felt extremely heavy, as though someone was pulling them shut.By the time food was served onto the table, Mark was a little unhappy to find that Arianne was nowhere in sight. “Where is she?”“She’s not feeling well and informed me that she won’t be having dinner. Sir, madam has been feeling nauseous lately. And… her… period is late. I have urged her to go for a checkup at the hospital,” Mary replied.Mark’s pupils suddenly dilated. “What did you say?”Mary thought back on her own words. After ascertaining that she hadn’t said anything wrong, she continued speaking without any worries. “That’s what’s going on. Why don’t you accompany her to the hosp

Eric was in disbelief. “What is there to think about? If you come back, I’ll forget about your resignation in the first place and consider this break as a paid leave. How about that? Let me make it clear to you first, I am not keeping an eye on you for Mark. I simply need a highly talented designer like yourself working under me.”Truth be told, Arianne was slightly conflicted. To be able to receive a salary over the period when she didn’t work was definitely an attractive offer. However, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that Eric was hiding something else from her.She was clearly aware of her own capabilities. Eric definitely didn’t lack employees like her. “Tell me the truth… Are you doing this because you have another ulterior motive?”Eric was stunned by her question. “What motive can I possibly have? I’ve been friends with Mark for decades, it’s not like I’m going to flirt with his wife. I’m just inviting you back on board since you can’t seem to find another job elsewhere.
