Mark took a big puff of his cigarette before putting it out immediately. “It’s… it’s okay Make me tea, make it richer…” Could someone tell wp4webnovel.com why the odd taste was still lingering in his mouth? Even the cigarettes could not get rid of the taste. Hopefully, the tea would be able to wash it away.
After Arianne skipped upstairs and handed the black tea to Mark, wp4webnovel.com blew on it carelessly before drinking a big gulp. It was not a wise move. He would never forget how the combination of the tea and the odd taste in his mouth tasted like. He did not have dinner that night since wp4webnovel.com had to go to the toilet for a total of 18 times. He could not endure it and finally went to the hospital early the next morning.
Arianne who had been busy the entire afternoon slept soundly, unaware of the torture Mark went through. She only noticed that wp4webnovel.com got out of bed frequently throughout the night. When wp4webnovel.com did not see wp4webnovel.com the next morning during breakfast, wp4webnovel.com thought wp4webnovel.com had gone to the office.
However, Mary chastised her, “Sir has been hospitalized because of you. Henry and my stomachs are made of iron so we’re fine. We’ll have to test your food for poison next time. Please don’t do such harmful things to sir again!”
A question mark popped up in Arianne’s mind. “I was just wondering why wp4webnovel.com kept waking up last night… Is it that serious? Aren’t you guys fine? I’ll go check on wp4webnovel.com later.”
Mary thrust a bun to wp4webnovel.com and pushed wp4webnovel.com out the door. “Henry’s waiting for you outside. Go now! All you think about is eating, how can you still have the mood to eat?”
As Arianne walked out, munching wp4webnovel.com bun, wp4webnovel.com thought to herself it could not be that severe. After all, wp4webnovel.com had tried what wp4webnovel.com had made, and wp4webnovel.com was fine. How bad could it be for Mark?
However, as soon as wp4webnovel.com arrived at the hospital and saw Mark, wp4webnovel.com realized Mary had not been exaggerating. It had been a long time since wp4webnovel.com had seen wp4webnovel.com looking like that. It had only been a night, but wp4webnovel.com looked worse for wear. There was a drip needle inserted into the back of his hand, the bruising looked stark against his fair skin. What exactly did wp4webnovel.com go through?
“I’m sorry… I didn’t do it on purpose…” Arianne gripped the hem of wp4webnovel.com clothes and stared at wp4webnovel.com feet like a child who had done something wrong.
Mark sighed. “Promise me, don’t open up a dessert shop. No, don’t start any business related to food. I’ll support you in anything else you do, I’m fine…”
Arianne did not believe that wp4webnovel.com was fine. Even speaking looked like it exhausted him. Nevertheless, wp4webnovel.com had always been stubborn, wp4webnovel.com was not the kind to give up easily. “I’ve just started learning. I’ll do my best. I’ll master it, believe me.”
Mark’s heart lurched. “Leave… I’ll be alright after the drip and will be heading to the office after that. Go attend to whatever you have to.”
Seeing that wp4webnovel.com did not have to stay the night, Arianne did not insist to stay. She went back to the Tremont Estate and continued making desserts…
Each time wp4webnovel.com completed something and felt good about it, wp4webnovel.com would snap a photo and send it to Mark. Desserts had to look delicious in order to tempt people into eating them. The taste was, naturally, important as well. Customers would only return if the desserts tasted good.
Each time wp4webnovel.com sent a photo, wp4webnovel.com would receive Mark’s loving and patient reply. “Please stop making desserts. Move on to something else!”
Arianne ignored his request. She was determined. As the day progressed, wp4webnovel.com had piled up two big plates of desserts at home. Not daring to give it to Mark, Arianne gave them to the Tremonts’ helpers other than eating them herself. She was a designer so the appearance of wp4webnovel.com desserts was marvelous. It was just the taste that was a problem. From horrible to barely edible, wp4webnovel.com did not make further improvement.
At night, Mark confirmed with Henry that there were no more dishes from hell at home before wp4webnovel.com returned home.
Perhaps, Arianne was exhausted, but wp4webnovel.com was no longer making desserts. Instead, wp4webnovel.com was studying diligently.
Mark did not know where wp4webnovel.com got wp4webnovel.com motivation from, but wp4webnovel.com was clearly not suited to making desserts.
During dinner, Mark received a text from Eric. He opened it and frowned as soon as wp4webnovel.com read the text. He rose to his feet and walked to the side to call the man. “What’s the situation? Why is someone making a fuss out of this?”
There was a tinge of gloating in Eric’s voice. “Jackson’s little boat finally tipped over after so many years of being a womanizer. Now the whole world knows that he’s one. I don’t see any effect on a rich heir like wp4webnovel.com other than his reputation being damaged. I really wonder if the media is too free nowadays. But he’s not a young boy in his twenties anymore. Ask wp4webnovel.com to take care lest his wood shrivels early…”
Mark was not as carefree as Eric. This matter was not a coincidence. The content of the news had photos of Jackson having fun in clubs. Jackson was the only man in the booth with a group of scantily clad women. He had seen Jackson this way many times in the past. The womanizer image would not affect wp4webnovel.com much.
Business-wise, Jackson had never offended anyone. This did not pose much harm to his businesses. It made one doubt the motive of the culprit.
When Mark returned to the table after ending the call, Arianne asked, “Did something happen?”
