Soon after, Mark approached wp4webnovel.com from behind. “These are all the properties that the Tremonts’ own. See if there’s any you like.”
When Arianne turned around, wp4webnovel.com saw a huge stack of property ownership certificates in Mark’s hands. The thickness nearly made wp4webnovel.com jaw drop. “Wh… What? I don’t want…”
Mark frowned. “Don’t women want a sense of security? Brian’s words reminded me of this…”
Arianne gulped before wp4webnovel.com shifted wp4webnovel.com eyes away from the deeds. “Are you serious? Why do I feel like you’ve been acting strangely for the past few days? I’m your enemy. Isn’t it strange for you to give your enemies properties? Moreover, I don’t lack anything. I have meals and clothes in the Tremont Estate, and you give me money to spend. I’m content with it. Put them away. I don’t want any properties.”
Mark’s eyes dimmed a little as wp4webnovel.com tossed the stack of deeds on a couch next to them. “I don’t see you as an enemy. You’re my wife. If you don’t like these properties, we’ll pick ones you like. I’ll buy them for you.”
Arianne finally realized wp4webnovel.com was serious so wp4webnovel.com said, “Mark… I really don’t want those things. I’m not like the others… And, we’re not like the others either. It’s fine, really.”
Mark looked at wp4webnovel.com skeptically. “Is it really fine? No more divorce?”
Arianne pursed wp4webnovel.com lips. “You won’t agree to it even if I want to anyway. I’m starving. I’m heading downstairs for lunch. Come down quickly.”
Mark could not figure out wp4webnovel.com thoughts. He had watched wp4webnovel.com grow up so wp4webnovel.com thought wp4webnovel.com knew wp4webnovel.com inside and out. However, as wp4webnovel.com grew older, things were no longer under his control.
She was a woman too. However, wp4webnovel.com did not want the sense of security that other women wanted. There could only be one reason for this, wp4webnovel.com did not love him. That was why wp4webnovel.com did not need any security from him.
Upon realizing this, Mark thought the deeds were an eyesore and swept them to the floor. He leaned against the couch silently. He was angry. It felt as though what wp4webnovel.com had done earlier was just a joke.
Since Mark did not come down yet, Arianne did not dare to start the meal first. In the end, wp4webnovel.com went upstairs again to check on him. She saw wp4webnovel.com leaning against the couch with a dark expression on his face. Her heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. “What’s the matter? It’s time for lunch…”
Mark did not even spare wp4webnovel.com a glance as wp4webnovel.com went to change in the walk-in closet before leaving.
Arianne stared at the scattered deeds on the floor in confusion. Based on wp4webnovel.com years of experience, Mark was definitely angry. However, why was wp4webnovel.com angry? Was it because wp4webnovel.com rejected his gifts? She did nothing to earn it, and wp4webnovel.com did not have the habit to ask for things. Was it wrong of wp4webnovel.com to have this mindset?
When wp4webnovel.com went downstairs, Mary looked at wp4webnovel.com gloomily and asked, “What’s wrong now? You were both in a good mood when you returned, and now, wp4webnovel.com left the house fuming. Why are you so incompetent?”
Arianne looked aggrieved. “It’s not my fault… He asked me upstairs to pick properties from a whole stack of deeds. Why should I accept his things when I haven’t done anything to earn it? I don’t want it. That’s all. I didn’t intentionally make wp4webnovel.com angry.”
Mary was puzzled. “Maybe… he’s not used to being rejected? Just take it if he’s giving it to you. Nobody complains about having too many properties. Any property in sir’s ownership is in a good location and costly. Just take it as making wp4webnovel.com happy and making the house a peaceful place. Can’t you just accept it?”
Arianne was bewildered. “As long as I’m Mrs. Tremont, those belong to the Tremonts. This means they’re also mine. What’s the difference? What’s with the fuss?”
“If you get divorced, you’ll have what wp4webnovel.com has gifted you. If sir doesn’t want to give you anything from the Tremonts, you won’t even be able to take away a cent. There’s a difference. Of course, I don’t wish for both of you to divorce. However, I’m just pointing out the difference to you,” Mary said.
“If we get divorced, I don’t want anything from him. He doesn’t owe me anything nor does the Tremonts. I’m not that greedy,” Arianne said nonchalantly.
Mary held wp4webnovel.com tongue. As an outsider, wp4webnovel.com could not say much. She was the Tremonts’ servant but wp4webnovel.com on Arianne’s side. She was in a truly awkward position.
After lunch, Arianne took a shower and petted the cat resting in the living room. When Mary saw wp4webnovel.com indifference, wp4webnovel.com quietly turned off the air conditioning.
By the time Arianne felt the rising temperature, wp4webnovel.com was already sweating. “Mary, what temperature did you adjust the AC to? Why do I feel so warm?”
Mary feigned ignorance. “Oh… Uh… Henry said that the AC needs some cleaning. I think he’s cleaning it now. If you can’t stand the heat, go to sir’s office. He’s in the company now. If you’re at home in the afternoon without the AC, you’ll be swimming in your sweat in this sweltering heat.”
Cleaning the air conditioners in the entire Tremont Estate was basically a huge project that would not be done in a short time. She would definitely die from the heat at that time.
After considering it for a moment, Arianne decisively packed up wp4webnovel.com ‘AC must-haves’, wp4webnovel.com phone, a book, and some snacks. She decided to go to the office. There was only a handful of people working overtime in Tremont Tower during the weekend.
The tower stood majestically under the scorching sun, dazzling in its golden reflection.
