Arianne spotted Mark seated next to Aery. She also noticed that Aery’s arm was coiled around Mark’s. “I’m his wife. It’s my responsibility to determine where wp4webnovel.com goes and to consider his safety.”
The word “wife” put a hateful look on Aery’s face. “You…! He’s already made it clear, wp4webnovel.com doesn’t want to go!”
Out of pretense, Eric disembarked from the car and helped Mark down. “Stop causing trouble, Aery… A member of his family has arrived. Let Mark go.”
Aery, still unresigned, grabbed Mark’s arm. “Mark’s already said that wp4webnovel.com doesn’t want to see her. Quit fooling around, Eric!”
Arianne didn’t give two hoots about whether Mark returned home or not, but wp4webnovel.com also refused to back down at the prospect of wp4webnovel.com following Aery.
Before wp4webnovel.com could speak up, Mark suddenly shook Aery off and demandingly said, “Ari… Come here!”
There was no doubt that wp4webnovel.com was speaking to Arianne. This was the first time Arianne ever heard wp4webnovel.com call wp4webnovel.com by that name, so wp4webnovel.com was a little absent-minded. After a momentary daze, wp4webnovel.com walked up to wp4webnovel.com and supported him. “Shall we go home?”
Mark wrapped his arms around wp4webnovel.com and mumbled into wp4webnovel.com neck, “Go…”
Aery trembled with rage. Didn’t Mark hate Arianne? If wp4webnovel.com hated her, why was wp4webnovel.com following her?! Why was wp4webnovel.com putting on such an intimate display with her?!
Eric heaved a sigh of relief. “Ah, right… Arianne, there’s no one to drive you, right? I’ll do it. Aery, you can wait for Jackson.”
Arianne ignored Aery’s angry glare and helped Mark into the back of the car again. She waited for the car to start up before saying, “Thank you, Eric.”
Eric did not reply, but smiled instead. Mark could do whatever wp4webnovel.com wanted when wp4webnovel.com was sober, wp4webnovel.com didn’t care. However, wp4webnovel.com was drunk now, so wp4webnovel.com had to make sure that wp4webnovel.com returned home safely; this was his obligation as a friend.
It took Arianne quite a while to settle Mark when they returned to Estate. By then, wp4webnovel.com was on the brink of collapsing from exhaustion.
As wp4webnovel.com gazed upon his peaceful sleeping face, Arianne was suddenly seized with a wicked urge to stroke his hair. This was the only time wp4webnovel.com seemed very docile and not threatening.
Just as wp4webnovel.com was about to retract wp4webnovel.com hand, Mark suddenly reached out and grabbed wp4webnovel.com wrist. “Come here!”
She jumped in fright. After ascertaining that wp4webnovel.com wasn’t feigning drunkenness and that this was only an involuntary action, wp4webnovel.com heaved a sigh of relief. Then, wp4webnovel.com carefully moved closer and asked, “What is it?”
“Sleep with me…” wp4webnovel.com growled, forcefully pulling wp4webnovel.com into his embrace.
Arianne’s face was completely buried into his chest. He was hugging wp4webnovel.com tightly. She blushed when wp4webnovel.com caught his scent. His strange words could make a girl lose herself in a reverie.
Although they were both still very unhappy with each other before wp4webnovel.com left, wp4webnovel.com was not silly enough to quibble with a drunk man. Hence, wp4webnovel.com obediently nestled herself into his arms and found a comfortable position.
Alas, wp4webnovel.com was not so obedient. His hand moved onto wp4webnovel.com face, then stroked wp4webnovel.com cheek with his fingers and thumb. Then, it shifted down, brushing past the clean nape of wp4webnovel.com neck and pausing on wp4webnovel.com delicate collarbone.
It was as if his hand had magical powers, bringing heat along with it wherever it went. Her heart raced, and wp4webnovel.com instinctively tried to relax wp4webnovel.com breathing.
He had no intention of stopping. Soon, his hand continued its journey down and lingered on wp4webnovel.com body.
