Looking at wp4webnovel.com determined front while carrying Rice Ball, Mark felt a mix of emotions. It seemed that wp4webnovel.com was the only one wp4webnovel.com was heartless to. She could even treasure a cat so much…
Arianne dared not get into his car, knowing that wp4webnovel.com was a germaphobe and worrying that Rice Ball’s fur would shed in the car. “You didn’t actually have to rush here… Today’s drip is done, it’s just that I can’t feed it the medication alone at home… It has to come back tomorrow for drip still.”
Mark hopped out of the car and grabbed the pet carrier that housed Rice Ball before tossing it into the vehicle. “I don’t have time for your nonsense. Get in.”
Arianne was surprised, worried that something would happen to Rice Ball from the rough handling but dared not argue with him. The weather was hot and dry, inevitably making one lose its cool quickly. A person like wp4webnovel.com would be riled up easily.
Back to the apartment, Mark took off his suit jacket and tossed it on the couch right a wp4webnovel.com stepped inside before wp4webnovel.com rolled up his sleeves. “Come on.”
Not daring to be slow, Arianne took Rice Ball’s medication out. “Uh… Either I grab Rice Ball’s legs and you feed it the medicine, or we swap…”
Mark glanced at the lifeless cat and chose to swap. When wp4webnovel.com came into contact with the cat, it was as if Rice Ball realized what was about to happen, for it sprang up and scurried under the couch.
Arianne placated it patiently, but Rice Ball was not having it. Since wp4webnovel.com was pregnant, wp4webnovel.com dared not squat down for too long and could only assuage the cat as wp4webnovel.com bent down, holding onto the couch. Mark was standing diagonally to wp4webnovel.com and could see wp4webnovel.com gaping neckline when Arianne bent low. A thought flashed across his mind, they seemed to have grown some more…
Once Mark thought about others seeing what wp4webnovel.com did as wp4webnovel.com bent down, wp4webnovel.com was vexed. “Can you take note of what you’re wearing?”
Confused about what wp4webnovel.com was referring to, Arianne turned back to look at him. “What?”
Mark wordlessly gestured for wp4webnovel.com to step away and moved the coach. When Rice Ball was exposed, wp4webnovel.com swiftly carried it up.
Arianne was still mulling over his words just now and subconsciously looked at wp4webnovel.com collar, blushing at once…
The process of feeding a cat its medication was torturing. Rice Ball cried and shrieked ceaselessly like they were feeding it poison. Both Arianne and Mark were covered in sweat from the labor. Knowing how particular Mark was with his environment, Arianne felt bad. “Uh… I don’t usually stay in the living room, so it’s unnecessary to spend for an AC. If you’re warm, you can go to the bedroom for the air conditioning.”
Mark put Rice Ball down and went to the bedroom without a word. The moment the cool breeze was released, wp4webnovel.com exhaled a long sigh as well. The hot weather was murderous.
After settling Rice Ball’s needs, Arianne made wp4webnovel.com a cup of black tea. “It’s not hot anymore.”
Mark glimpsed at her. “You’re pregnant, you can’t have black tea.”
Subconsciously, wp4webnovel.com answered, “I didn’t.”
“Then why do you have it here?” wp4webnovel.com asked.
Arianne clamped wp4webnovel.com mouth shut. She had just bought the tea because wp4webnovel.com saw it when wp4webnovel.com was shopping. She did not have the time to drink it and it had been kept there since. She had only opened it after wp4webnovel.com came. Mark’s sudden question made Arianne question herself as well. If wp4webnovel.com was not drinking it, why did wp4webnovel.com keep it?
The topic came to an end at their silence. Arianne realized that Mark was still here after wp4webnovel.com shower. It was late and wp4webnovel.com had driven to pick wp4webnovel.com up from the vet clinic. If wp4webnovel.com had to drive home again in the middle of the night, it would not seem right. He was sober right now without a drop of alcohol; what happened last night should not be repeated. Arianne braved herself and said, “Uh… go shower. You can stay for the night. It’s so late and pretty hot too.”
Mark looked at wp4webnovel.com and narrowed his eyes. “Do you know what it means for a woman to tell a man this?”
Arianne’s heart rate picked up as wp4webnovel.com went to the water dispenser and downed a glass of cold water in panic. “You’ve stayed so late to help me. It’s inappropriate to chase you out. I don’t mean anything else.”
Not replying to her, Mark went to the bathroom for his shower.
Listening to the flowing water, Arianne could not find wp4webnovel.com peace. She had retained wp4webnovel.com for the night, as wp4webnovel.com felt bad, but because of what wp4webnovel.com said, wp4webnovel.com could not help wp4webnovel.com thoughts from going rampant…
When wp4webnovel.com was done showering, Arianne pretended to be asleep, but wp4webnovel.com perked up wp4webnovel.com ears to pay attention to Mark’s movements. He had moved around the bedroom and headed out. Curious, Arianne got up to check. It came as a surprise when wp4webnovel.com saw that Mark had volunteered to sleep on the couch. What astonished wp4webnovel.com even more was that Rice Ball and its bed were moved to the side of the couch as well. He was going to sleep with an eye kept on Rice Ball…
“The purpose of me sleeping on the couch is for you to have a good rest, not for you to worry about nothing. It’s just a cat, I can handle it.” Mark stayed still on the couch after speaking and adjusting himself on the couch.
Arianne felt a flurry of emotions. If wp4webnovel.com had not helped to check on Rice Ball, wp4webnovel.com would have to wake up several times through the night to see how the cat was doing. This was what the vet had told wp4webnovel.com to do anyway. He despised furry animals so much, how could wp4webnovel.com know about it?
Out of the blue, wp4webnovel.com was reminded of what wp4webnovel.com had said the other day.
“I loved you, but that’s in the past now.”
Until now, Arianne still could not bring herself to believe what wp4webnovel.com had said. She had always thought that wp4webnovel.com was disdainful about the word ‘love’. Indeed, wp4webnovel.com did not know wp4webnovel.com well enough. Despite spending so many years together, wp4webnovel.com did not know wp4webnovel.com in the slightest. What wp4webnovel.com had thought wp4webnovel.com knew about wp4webnovel.com was only wp4webnovel.com one-sided confidence. Just like wp4webnovel.com thought that wp4webnovel.com must not know how to take care of small animals when wp4webnovel.com hated them and was extremely intolerant of them; it was the complete opposite.
It seemed that wp4webnovel.com had unknowingly let down the man who all the women could not bear to see this way. She had been disappointing wp4webnovel.com all along…
