Mark mistook wp4webnovel.com confusion for hope. The anger in his eyes burned even more intensely. He clenched his hands into fists before silently unclenching them again. In the end, wp4webnovel.com left and slammed the door behind him.
As his car drove away from Tremont Estate, Arianne sat on the cold floor with wp4webnovel.com back against the bedside. She hugged wp4webnovel.com legs and buried wp4webnovel.com face in wp4webnovel.com knees. Maybe that would take some of wp4webnovel.com loneliness away…
Mary came back three days later. “Ari, why did sir choose to go on a business trip during New Years Eve? Didn’t you try persuading wp4webnovel.com to set aside work for a bit? You must be feeling lonely now that you’re left all alone.”
Arianne sat on the sofa and didn’t reply to her. All of a sudden, wp4webnovel.com phone rang. It was a greeting message from Eric, and a holiday bonus sum attached along with it.
Arianne didn’t accept the money. She only replied to wp4webnovel.com with a smiley face emoticon and attached wp4webnovel.com letter of resignation. She turned wp4webnovel.com gaze back to the magazine in wp4webnovel.com hands. There was going to be an art exhibition at Ayashe city tomorrow. She wanted to go and already made up wp4webnovel.com mind. After all, one should experience an impromptu travel at least once in their life.
When Arianne left, wp4webnovel.com only informed Mary that wp4webnovel.com was going on a trip for a few days. Mary just told wp4webnovel.com to enjoy wp4webnovel.com trip and said nothing else.
Arianne didn’t have many clothes; only two sets. Just one suitcase was more than enough to fit in all wp4webnovel.com stuff. With that, wp4webnovel.com left with nearly all of wp4webnovel.com belongings.
When wp4webnovel.com got into the car, wp4webnovel.com turned off wp4webnovel.com phone. This was the first time wp4webnovel.com traveled alone as wp4webnovel.com pleased. All wp4webnovel.com wanted was to experience the freedom of pursuing the things wp4webnovel.com liked, so wp4webnovel.com didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone. Besides, Mark wouldn’t find wp4webnovel.com anyway…
By the time wp4webnovel.com reached Ayashe, it was nearly eight o’clock in the evening. Arianne checked in at a hotel and got some sleep. When wp4webnovel.com woke up again, it was already three o’clock in the morning. She took out the magazine that had the art exhibition’s details, and started making a rough plan; the works of wp4webnovel.com favourite artists would be there. Her resignation was a sudden decision because wp4webnovel.com wanted to start doing what wp4webnovel.com enjoyed. After all, life was short and wp4webnovel.com didn’t want it to end with regret.
After daybreak, Arianne went directly to the art exhibition and spent the entire day there. Her passion toward painting was reignited once again, burning intensely.
Ayashe wasn’t like the capital. The weather was nicer during the winter and the streets were very lively at night too. By the time Arianne returned to the hotel after shopping, it was almost eleven o’clock.
As Arianne closed the hotel room’s door, fatigue almost instantly swept over her.
Despite wp4webnovel.com exhaustion, wp4webnovel.com still took a shower out of years of habit. As soon as wp4webnovel.com laid down on the bed, there was a sudden knock on the door. It would be more accurate to say it sounded like someone was ramming against the door rather than knocking.
Arianne was a little scared as wp4webnovel.com approached the door. “Who’s there?” wp4webnovel.com asked softly.
There was no movement on the other side of the door.
She took out wp4webnovel.com cell phone and turned it on in case wp4webnovel.com needed to call the cops at any time. Countless notifications of missed calls from Mark immediately sprung up on wp4webnovel.com screen.
Arianne hadn’t expected wp4webnovel.com to come looking for wp4webnovel.com at all. She returned the call in a fluster, but a ringtone wp4webnovel.com couldn’t be more familiar with rang on the other side of the door. It was the ringtone that Mark used.
Arianne steeled herself to meet the storm before opening the door. Instead of a storm, Mark’s tall figure loomed over her. She was pulled into his tight embrace. In his arms, wp4webnovel.com could clearly feel the heat and weakness of his body…
“Did you… think that I wouldn’t be able to find you?” He asked in a feeble tone that was devoid of his usual authority.
“What’s wrong with you?” Arianne struggled to hear his weight and nearly lost wp4webnovel.com footing.
Mark didn’t respond to her, but his arms gradually slid off her.
Arianne panicked. She clenched wp4webnovel.com teeth as wp4webnovel.com helped wp4webnovel.com to the bed. Her legs shook with every step. When they almost reached the bed, wp4webnovel.com finally lost wp4webnovel.com footing and fell onto the bed with him.
