Two minutes later, Mark Tremont’s car drove away. Arianne released a breath that wp4webnovel.com was unaware of holding, wondering what wp4webnovel.com was doing when the car was stationary.
“Sir… It’s snowing. Are you really not letting miss in the car? Should we wait a bit more? Or shall I call her?”
The driver, Brian Pearce, was rather worried.
“Busybody…” Mark Tremont looked at the delicate silhouette from the rearview mirror, feeling inexplicably annoyed. He waited for two minutes and had given wp4webnovel.com the chance.
When Arianne arrived at school, Tiffany Lane was baffled by wp4webnovel.com soaked state.
“What do you think you’re doing? Did you cycle here in the snow? Are you crazy? Come on, breakfast is still warm. Eat up quickly!”
Arianne accepted the milk and bun that Tiffany passed wp4webnovel.com with a smile, a dash of red appeared from wp4webnovel.com cracked lips.
Tiffany sucked in a deep breath. “Do your parents not care about you? They don’t worry about your meals or clothes and aren’t concerned about you attending art school. Did they pick you up from the streets?”
“My… mother remarried when I was very young and my father passed away ten years ago. It’s not their fault …” Arianne replied as wp4webnovel.com took off wp4webnovel.com soaked coat and sipped the warm milk The indifferent tone in wp4webnovel.com voice, along with wp4webnovel.com actions was a pang to one’s heart.
Tiffany then fondly rubbed Arianne’s wet hair.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? We’ve known each other since high school and yet, you never told me anything before you finally spoke up today. It’s absurd how your mother could bear abandoning a pretty little girl like you… Who are you living with now then?”
‘Who are you living with?’
Arianne did not answer immediately as wp4webnovel.com thought about how wp4webnovel.com should refer to Mark Tremont. Her elder brother?
“My elder brother.” That was all wp4webnovel.com could say.
Tiffany Lane was quite perplexed.
“Your elder brother? Your biological brother? Even if he’s only your cousin, wp4webnovel.com shouldn’t let you live so pitifully. Have you bought the paint the tutor asked us to buy?”
Arianne shook wp4webnovel.com head. “I won’t be able to buy it for the time being but I’ll think of something.”
Three years ago, wp4webnovel.com was guileless but not gullible. That was wp4webnovel.com first time rejecting Mark Tremont.
His icy tone spread from his lips.
‘One day, you’ll beg me.’ ‘
After that, wp4webnovel.com left the country without a warning and wp4webnovel.com had never asked wp4webnovel.com for another favor or another meal in the Tremont Estate, surviving only by working part-time jobs.
She was unable to fulfill his request nor please him, but there was no need to anymore. .
Looking at Arianne’s frowning face, Tiffany’s heart ached for her. When wp4webnovel.com was about to say something, a warm masculine voice interrupted.
“Tiffany, what’s up with your cutie pie today? Why does wp4webnovel.com look so listless?”
It was Will Sivan who spoke, the other person whom Arianne knew on campus.
There were only so many of the rich and powerful in the capital. Both Tiffany Lane and Will Siyan were among them, though not Arianne Wynn.
“It’s the paint…”
“Tiffany!”
Arianne cut wp4webnovel.com off and discreetly shook wp4webnovel.com head. For some reason, wp4webnovel.com did not want Will to know about wp4webnovel.com plight.
Out of the blue, Will Sivan’s hand touched wp4webnovel.com forehead. “You have a fever.”
“If you fall sick, our Tiffany here is going to nag all day long again.”
It sounded like wp4webnovel.com was complaining, but Will’s hands were already working to take off his scarf to wrap around Arianne’s neck.
She looked up at him, wp4webnovel.com heart beating a little faster. His smile felt like the sunlight that spilled from a blanket of clouds, gentle and natural. Loose hair fell from his forehead, draping down to his starry eyes which looked like they contained all the stars of the universe.
Will Sivan was one of the best looking people Arianne had ever met, only second to Mark Tremont.
When they had met ten years ago, Mark Tremont had taken wp4webnovel.com breath away too.
“Who’s that?” Mark Tremont’s gaze was locked on Arianne Wynn and Will Sivan, who were beside wp4webnovel.com from the corridor outside of the art studio.
