Speechless, Arianne turned to go to the bedroom in a fit of anger. She wanted to close the door but wp4webnovel.com was worried about wp4webnovel.com not getting any air conditioning.
Soon enough, Brian sent them their dinner. A quick look at the packaging told them their dinner was from White Waters Bay Restaurant. After Brian left, Mark called out toward the bedroom, “Dinner’s here.”
Arianne did not reply, pretending that wp4webnovel.com did not hear him.
Although wp4webnovel.com only had a towel on, Mark felt hot. The frustration was grating on his nerves. “Are you eating or not? I’ll throw it if you aren’t!”
Arianne remained silent. She couldn’t help but feel that wp4webnovel.com was here just to make wp4webnovel.com mad. They were just not meant to get along!
Mark got up to go to the bedroom and carried wp4webnovel.com to the couch in the living room in a swift move. “I don’t have a good temper. Have your dinner!”
Arianne opened the takeout silently and ate it. The bedroom’s air conditioning could not cover the entire living room, so wp4webnovel.com soon felt hot. She did not really have an appetite either and was unable to finish wp4webnovel.com dinner, even though it was only a small plate.
Mark had it worse than her. “How long are you planning to stay in this horrible place?”
Arianne replied faintly, “I don’t plan to move. It’s a decent place to live in.”
Mark breathed in deeply, his tone turning distant. “Will isn’t coming back, so stay here for the rest of your life if you can!”
Looking at him, Arianne bit wp4webnovel.com lips before speaking coldly after a while, “Can you not drag Will into everything? It’s because…” She did not finish wp4webnovel.com sentence, nor did wp4webnovel.com want to. He had his assumptions, but wp4webnovel.com did not have it in wp4webnovel.com to explain.
It was yet another unresolved argument that they had. Although Mark did not stand up to leave, they were not talking to each other either.
It was incredibly hot at night. Mark finally gave up and moved from the couch to the bed. While wp4webnovel.com was at it, wp4webnovel.com moved Rice Ball and its bed together to the door of the bedroom.
Fully aware that wp4webnovel.com had entered, Arianne did not make any response. It was not until his body got close to hers that wp4webnovel.com shifted aside.
“There must be something wrong with my brain for me to stay here and put up with you!” Mark sounded like wp4webnovel.com was grumbling with a cold tone but there was no bite in it.
“Then leave…” wp4webnovel.com retorted softly.
How could Mark put up with this? He got up immediately to call Brian so that the latter could send wp4webnovel.com a change of attire as wp4webnovel.com could not leave wrapped in a towel. Arianne knew that wp4webnovel.com was serious and snatched his phone, hiding it under wp4webnovel.com body.
“How much are you paying Brian a month to disturb wp4webnovel.com so late at night? You’re making wp4webnovel.com stay on call for twenty-four hours. If I had someone so harsh like you as my boss, I would’ve quit a long time ago!”
Mark searched for his phone under the blanket with a dark look. When wp4webnovel.com came into contact with Arianne’s supple skin, there was a subtle change in his expression before wp4webnovel.com drew back his hand at once. “What do you want?”
Arianne was stunned. It did not sound like something Mark would say. “It’s not what I want I’m pregnant, and I need to rest. Don’t disturb me. Leave quietly in the morning if you want to… ”
Pressing his lips together, Mark stared at wp4webnovel.com icily. His exasperation caused his chest to heave heavily. This was not something wp4webnovel.com could accept. Letting it get to his head, Mark bent down and stretched his hand under wp4webnovel.com body again. He had never felt so peeved all his life!
Unintentionally, the distance between them reduced to only a thin sheet separating their bodies. Arianne could smell the fresh fragrance of the body wash on Mark and automatically imagined his chiseled body. He had been walking around her, wrapped only in a towel for the past two days. It was inevitable that wp4webnovel.com saw his semi-naked body. Her cheeks flushed red and wp4webnovel.com became restless. “Get up… I’ll give it to you…”
Ignoring her, Mark scooped wp4webnovel.com up with one hand while wp4webnovel.com continued to look for his phone with another. Arianne’s tiny frame felt even more fragile under wp4webnovel.com and wp4webnovel.com could only let wp4webnovel.com do what wp4webnovel.com wanted. When Mark found his phone, wp4webnovel.com did not get up instantly. The soft and smooth touch in his arms felt tangible, and wp4webnovel.com did not want to let go for wp4webnovel.com at all… The atmosphere somehow turned intimate.
The air was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing. Each time their heart beat, they got closer to each other. Arianne dared not even exhale a little louder. She knew that wp4webnovel.com had been too ‘cocky’ tonight and should not have challenged wp4webnovel.com to the point of being angry.
Just as wp4webnovel.com was about to say something to soothe the atmosphere, Mark’s kiss suddenly landed on the side of wp4webnovel.com face and moved to wp4webnovel.com neck. Ticklish, Arianne subconsciously ducked wp4webnovel.com head but it felt like wp4webnovel.com was snuggling up to Mark, like wp4webnovel.com had given a silent consent to his action.
Arianne felt that wp4webnovel.com should reject wp4webnovel.com but wp4webnovel.com was unable to open wp4webnovel.com mouth regardless. When Mark’s kiss traveled to wp4webnovel.com lips and their faces were aligned, wp4webnovel.com actually closed wp4webnovel.com eyes! This meant that wp4webnovel.com was basically giving up wp4webnovel.com fight!
Arianne only knew that wp4webnovel.com heart was beating fast and wp4webnovel.com mind was a tangled mess. She had completely lost wp4webnovel.com ability to think. It felt bizarre!
Mark did not kiss deeply. He stopped for a few seconds on wp4webnovel.com lips and left “Remember to resist the next time, and don’t provoke me.” He then laid down with his back facing wp4webnovel.com after that.
Composing herself, Arianne could still feel wp4webnovel.com heart thumping. Was this what people called having butterflies?! She felt like slapping herself. What butterflies? Could it be possible that wp4webnovel.com liked him? Yet, why did wp4webnovel.com not recognize herself anymore when wp4webnovel.com looked into his eyes? Her brain had stopped functioning too…
