She woke up from the heat the next morning. Mark’s arm was draped across wp4webnovel.com chest, making it very difficult for wp4webnovel.com to breathe. She was so hot that wp4webnovel.com hair was sticking onto wp4webnovel.com face.
He was breathing into wp4webnovel.com neck, and wp4webnovel.com wasn’t covered by the blanket at all. He slept with his entire head on top of wp4webnovel.com body and it was impossible for wp4webnovel.com not to feel hot!
She really disliked feeling sweaty. She struggled away from the confines of wp4webnovel.com and the quilt, got up and took a shower. When wp4webnovel.com emerged from the bathroom, wp4webnovel.com felt much more refreshed. She suddenly noticed that Rice Ball wasn’t asleep in its nest. She called out to it, and Rice Ball jumped off the sofa and gracefully walked towards her. It had only been a few short days but the fat cat had already lost a lot of weight. However, it was still recovering from its illness. Previously, Rice Ball had lost its energy. At least it could walk now. That was a good thing.
Just as wp4webnovel.com was about to pick Rice Ball into wp4webnovel.com arms out of pity, Mark appeared at the bedroom door. “Touch it, see what happens.”
Due to last night’s mistake, wp4webnovel.com was too afraid to provoke wp4webnovel.com again. “It’s Saturday. I don’t have work, so I can take Rice Ball to the pet hospital for an intravenous infusion. You can do your own thing.”
He didn’t seem to be fully awake yet, and moodily walked into the toilet, ignoring her.
Once wp4webnovel.com was done with the toilet, wp4webnovel.com went in to wash up as well. She couldn’t help feeling slightly nauseated as wp4webnovel.com brushed wp4webnovel.com teeth. However, it wasn’t as bad as wp4webnovel.com first pregnancy, so wp4webnovel.com was quite relieved about that.
Mark heard someone approaching the door. He hesitated for two seconds, then made his way over to open the door, coming face to face with Helen’s surprised face.
Helen was stunned by the fact that wp4webnovel.com was here, and that wp4webnovel.com had opened the door wearing nothing but a bath towel. Even though wp4webnovel.com was his ‘mother-in-law’, it didn’t feel appropriate…
Mark wasn’t a particularly careless person either, and wp4webnovel.com wasn’t exactly unembarrassed. He simply acted like wp4webnovel.com was. “You don’t have to send things over next time. She won’t be needing it.”
Helen handed the breakfast that wp4webnovel.com had brought over to him. “Sure. I’d worry a little less with you around. I won’t be coming over from now on. She doesn’t want to see me anyway.”
He shut the door after accepting the breakfast without beating around the bush. He never thought that Helen would personally send breakfast over every morning. He thought that wp4webnovel.com had been ordering takeout…
Arianne stepped out to find wp4webnovel.com carrying breakfast, and knew that Helen had sent someone to bring it over. “She’s sent it over again? She’s been sending people over to give me breakfast every day. Even if she’s not irritated, I am.”
He placed the breakfast onto the coffee table and replied, “She didn’t ask someone to send it over. She sent it over herself.”
She was taken aback, but wp4webnovel.com quickly squashed down that small amount of sympathy wp4webnovel.com felt. “So what? She never cared about me when l was little. Now, I’m independent. Why would I need wp4webnovel.com guilt and hypocrisy? You’re not that kind either. Are you telling me this so that I’d forgive her?”
He raised his brow. “It’s true that I’m not that kind. I don’t think you need to forgive her. I’ve already told wp4webnovel.com not to come anymore, so you don’t need to feel irritated. Eat. Once you’re done with breakfast, we’ll take the stupid cat for its IV. I’ve got something to attend to in the afternoon.”
She was unhappy with wp4webnovel.com for calling Rice Ball a stupid cat, but did not dare oppose him. After finishing wp4webnovel.com breakfast, wp4webnovel.com obediently followed wp4webnovel.com as they took Rice Ball to the pet hospital. He wouldn’t let wp4webnovel.com get down from the car and made wp4webnovel.com wait in the car. He went on his own into the pet hospital and waited for Rice Ball to be done with its IV. It was apparent that wp4webnovel.com was in a rush. So, as soon as Rice Ball was settled, wp4webnovel.com dropped wp4webnovel.com off at White Water Bay Café. “You can have lunch here. I’ve called Jackson. I’ll take Rice Ball with me. Once you’re done with lunch, Jackson will send you home. I’ll be back when I’m done with work.”
She knew that wp4webnovel.com had taken too much of his time, so wp4webnovel.com felt very sorry. “Won’t you eat first before you go?”
He narrowed his eyes, then spoke with an ambiguous tone, “No need to feel sorry about it. I brought it onto myself.”
She scoffed gently, then walked into White Water Bay Café with a clear conscience. If wp4webnovel.com hadn’t spoken to wp4webnovel.com with such mockery, perhaps wp4webnovel.com would still be feeling guilty.
She never expected Mark to book wp4webnovel.com a private room. Eating alone in such a big room felt wasteful. She asked to switch to a normal table, but Jackson denied wp4webnovel.com request. “It’s fine, it’s quiet here. Besides, I can afford the loss. It’s not like I’m not earning money anyway. Are you eating alone? Why not invite a friend?”
She agreed. Eating alone felt boring. So wp4webnovel.com called Tiffany and invited wp4webnovel.com to meet up. After the call, wp4webnovel.com came to a realization and asked, “Are you implying that you want to see Tiffie?”
A smile sparkled in Jackson’s eyes, but wp4webnovel.com managed the expression on his face pretty well, so there was no loophole in it, “She works in my company. I can see wp4webnovel.com whenever I want. Why would I need to manipulate you? Don’t be so suspicious all the time. A skeptical woman is unlikable.”
“Only a man with ulterior motives would be afraid of a suspicious woman,” She retaliated. “Based on your words, you sound like an old hand in the game of love.”
Jackson was pretty blunt as wp4webnovel.com retorted, “Oh really? How am I, compared to your Mark?”
She closed wp4webnovel.com mouth. It was not as if wp4webnovel.com understood Mark’s personal life. She didn’t know very much, aside from his relationship with Aery.
Tiffany arrived soon after, carrying the scorching heat from outside along with her. Her cheeks were red from walking under the sun, “Wow. This weather sure is hot. I would never have gotten out of the house if you hadn’t invited me here.”
