Dick never knew Ellie had such an opinion of Arianne. He didn’t dare to make any remarks too, however, since this was the boss’ private matter.
Ellie looked down on Dick even more for being too timid to even speak his mind and just left with a glass of water.
In the office, Mark gave Butler Henry a call and told wp4webnovel.com how to deal with Rice Ball’s funeral. He didn’t want this matter to create more trouble between wp4webnovel.com and Arianne, so he’d try his best to do whatever wp4webnovel.com could.
In the apartment, Arianne heard a knock on the door as soon as wp4webnovel.com was woken up by the alarm clock. Her memory was fuzzy, and wp4webnovel.com couldn’t even remember how wp4webnovel.com went back to bed. When wp4webnovel.com passed by the living room, wp4webnovel.com noticed a neatly folded thin blanket on the sofa. Although it showed no signs of being used, wp4webnovel.com had a hunch that Mark didn’t leave last night.
She opened the door, only to be greeted by a bouquet so huge that it nearly hid half of the delivery guy’s body behind it. The fragrance of flowers immediately wafted into wp4webnovel.com nose. It took wp4webnovel.com a second to recover from wp4webnovel.com shock. What was Mark trying to do? Why was wp4webnovel.com sending flowers to wp4webnovel.com everyday?
“Miss, a bouquet for you. Please sign this if there’s no problem.”
The young man from the flower shop was struggling quite a bit. He wasn’t that tall and big, so the bouquet was a little too ‘heavy’ for him. Most importantly, it was blocking his line of sight and wp4webnovel.com had to make sure to handle it carefully.
Arianne could empathize with his struggles, so wp4webnovel.com quickly signed off the delivery and took the bouquet back into the house. Before wp4webnovel.com could even put the flower down, there was another knock on wp4webnovel.com door. Thinking that the young man from the flower shop had forgotten something, wp4webnovel.com set down the bouquet and opened the door again, only to realize that this time it was a food delivery guy. “Here’s your breakfast, enjoy your meal!”
She accepted the takeaway and was a little dazed. Did Mark do all of this? When did wp4webnovel.com become that considerate? Even last night, wp4webnovel.com didn’t take advantage of the situation and just stayed behind quietly. Before wp4webnovel.com even got up today, wp4webnovel.com had left quietly and arranged all of this for her…
Arianne once made up wp4webnovel.com mind to not accept any kindness from him, but now it seemed like things wouldn’t develop according to wp4webnovel.com expectation. For now, wp4webnovel.com had no intention of feeding the flowers and breakfast to wp4webnovel.com trash can. However, wp4webnovel.com would never accept any expensive jewellery or other gifts from him. Women somehow always had a weakness for flowers as well as food, and wp4webnovel.com never had the habit of letting things go to waste either.
While eating breakfast, wp4webnovel.com kept wondering if wp4webnovel.com should say something to Mark. Giving wp4webnovel.com the silent treatment might be a little harsh. She did feel a bit guilty for fighting with wp4webnovel.com because of Rice Ball last night. Mark at least took care of Rice Ball properly back then. When it passed away, Mark wasn’t even at the Tremont Estate. She shouldn’t have blamed wp4webnovel.com just because wp4webnovel.com lost control of wp4webnovel.com emotions. At the very least, wp4webnovel.com should apologize to him.
Thinking up to this point, wp4webnovel.com took out wp4webnovel.com phone and sent wp4webnovel.com a message. ‘Thank you for the flowers and breakfast. There’s no need to send me flowers in the future, as it’s really a waste of money. And… I’m sorry about last night. I shouldn’t have blamed you for Rice Ball’s death. I lost control of my own emotions due to grief.’
Arianne watched as the message got sent on the screen and breathed a sigh of relief. From time to time, she’d check if wp4webnovel.com responded to wp4webnovel.com text. However, by the time wp4webnovel.com had to leave for the shop, Mark still hadn’t replied.
When wp4webnovel.com arrived at the dessert shop, wp4webnovel.com saw that everyone else had arrived too. Tiffany noticed wp4webnovel.com puffy eyes and bombarded wp4webnovel.com with questions, “You cried? Your eyes are all swollen like walnuts! What’s going on? Did Mark bully you?”
The thought of Rice Ball was still unbearable to her. “No… It’s just that Rice Ball is gone,” wp4webnovel.com said dejectedly.
Tiffany was a little shocked. “Really? Wasn’t it still alive and kicking before this? Why was it suddenly gone? Aww, don’t be too sad. Those little animals have short lifespans. They’ll have to leave sooner or later. Cheer up a little.”
Arianne said with a dull voice, “Alright, no need to comfort me. I’ll be fine in a few days, just let me grieve over it. I’ll get back to my work, and so should you. Oh by the way, let’s go visit Eric together if you’re free tonight.”
Tiffany didn’t dare to say anything else for fear that wp4webnovel.com would push Arianne’s button. “Sure, let’s go together after work.”
After a busy morning, Arianne finally had the time to check wp4webnovel.com phone when everyone else was having lunch together. Mark had responded to wp4webnovel.com message more than an hour ago with only two words: ‘It’s alright.’
She set wp4webnovel.com phone aside without replying, then just ate slowly since wp4webnovel.com didn’t have much appetite.
Naya suddenly spoke up, “Ari, I discussed with my husband. We’ve decided to move out of my in-laws’ with Lulu for now until they are too old to take care of themselves or if they’ve fallen ill. I suddenly feel so much more relaxed.”
Arianne smiled, “Congratulations. Things will get better soon! I can tell that your husband treats you really well.”
Naya lowered wp4webnovel.com head shyly. “To be honest, he’s quite a dull guy. He doesn’t know much about romance and rarely cares about home. At least, wp4webnovel.com manages to make the right judgement at critical moments. Our marriage only managed to last this long because wp4webnovel.com treats both me and Lulu very well. For this reason, no matter how mean my in-laws are, I can still look the other way.”
