Upon receiving the text, Mark deleted it after reading it. Something improper like that did not have a place in his phone…
He rolled up his sleeves to help Arianne with the dinnerware. When Arianne saw that wp4webnovel.com was actually getting to work, wp4webnovel.com quickly stopped him. “No need to help me. It’s just washing the dishes. You don’t know how to anyway…”
Mark spoke seriously, “I can learn. I’m not that dumb. Just leave them to me.”
Giving wp4webnovel.com the benefit of doubt, Arianne allowed wp4webnovel.com into the kitchen alone, checking in on wp4webnovel.com occasionally out of worry to make sure that wp4webnovel.com could really do a good job.
The floral fragrance from the shelf spread into the house from the air conditioning. Looking at the overflowing roses at home, Arianne felt speechless. Mark had not listened to her; wp4webnovel.com had asked wp4webnovel.com not to send wp4webnovel.com flowers anymore, but wp4webnovel.com still sent wp4webnovel.com a bouquet every day. If this went on, wp4webnovel.com would run out of space at home to keep them, and the shop did not need that many flowers too.
Mark’s phone rang suddenly. He had put his phone in his dress pants’ pocket; it was inconvenient to fish it out with his hands wet and occupied. He could only ask for Arianne’s help. “Help me with the call.”
Arianne did not reject wp4webnovel.com since wp4webnovel.com was helping with the dishes. Entering the kitchen, wp4webnovel.com was hesitant when wp4webnovel.com saw where wp4webnovel.com had kept his phone. She would have to stick wp4webnovel.com hand into his pants pocket. That did not seem very… appropriate.
When Mark saw that wp4webnovel.com was frozen, wp4webnovel.com urged, “Quick.”
Snapping herself out of it, Arianne wiped the unhealthy thought in wp4webnovel.com mind away and retrieved the device from his pants pocket. The caller ID was one word — home.
It was from the Tremont Estate.
Pressing the answer button and putting it on speaker, Henry’s voice rang, “Sir, your order is completed.”
Mark hummed and the line went quiet, leaving the sound of water running as Mark washed the dishes to fill the silence. Perhaps it was out of curiosity, for Henry asked, “Sir, what are you doing?”
“Doing the dishes,” Mark answered naturally.
Henry went quiet again before wp4webnovel.com caught up. “Okay… I’m hanging up now.”
With the line cut, Arianne joked. “Everyone in the Tremont Estate knows that you wash dishes now.”
Suddenly reminded of Jackson’s ‘reminder’, Mark scooped Arianne into his embrace and pinned wp4webnovel.com in front of the sink. “I’m washing them for you. Don’t be mean.”
Arianne’s heart skipped a beat and wp4webnovel.com was subconsciously too timid to meet his eyes. “Let go of me…”
It had been years, but Arianne was still shy when facing him.
Mark could not get enough of wp4webnovel.com embarrassed look as the corners of his lips tugged upward. He intentionally stuck his face close to look at her. “You’re blushing.”
With wp4webnovel.com hands on his chest, Arianne stopped wp4webnovel.com from coming closer. “No! It’s from the warmth. Stay away…”
Mark would never let wp4webnovel.com go this easily. “I don’t simply take orders, you know that.”
Arianne’s heart was thumping. “Then what do you want? I’m warning you, don’t go out of line!”
Her warning was mellow, useless. Instead, it roused Mark’s desire. “So what if I go out of line? What can you do? You accept my flowers every day and let me in so easily. This means that you don’t actually dislike me. What you’re offended by is the past that cannot be changed. Why don’t you face reality? Is it very hard to admit that you miss me?”
Arianne’s mind was everywhere. The pheromones from wp4webnovel.com could easily disrupt wp4webnovel.com thoughts. Just looking at his face and his eyes was enough to make wp4webnovel.com heart rate pick up. It was amazing that wp4webnovel.com did not get bored of looking at wp4webnovel.com after more than a decade!
“Don’t… I told you not to send me flowers, didn’t I? I just think that it’s a waste to throw them away. I wasn’t thinking about anything else. You came with Tiffie and Jackson. I couldn’t have stopped you from coming in, now could I? Don’t think too much about it and let me go now! The water in the sink will be overflowing soon!”
Mark stretched his arm out to turn the tap off and switched to circling wp4webnovel.com with both of his arms. With a slight tug, wp4webnovel.com was against wp4webnovel.com without any gap between them. He was slightly disgruntled. “So, are you saying you only let me in because of Tiffany? How sad. But you didn’t chase me away after wp4webnovel.com left too.”
Arianne was close to crumbling. What was up with this guy! Since when did wp4webnovel.com speak with a hint of bad boy in him? She had never come across a man like this, let alone Mark himself when wp4webnovel.com was acting like this. Recalling what wp4webnovel.com did to wp4webnovel.com in the car back when they went to the water park and realizing that they were in wp4webnovel.com house right now, Arianne panicked. “Mark! Let me go now! It’s too warm in the kitchen. I’ll clean up the rest. Go back to the hotel earlier and rest!”
“I can’t sleep without you.”
The hint of sadness in Mark’s voice was apparent to Arianne. She was stunned, not knowing how to react.
Seeing that wp4webnovel.com was no longer refusing him, Mark lowered his head to kiss her. Her soft lips felt like the most lethal poison wp4webnovel.com was addicted to. Once wp4webnovel.com kissed them, wp4webnovel.com did not want to ever let go. He only wanted to kiss wp4webnovel.com deeper to explore the pleasure.
When Mark’s tongue had easily pried wp4webnovel.com mouth open, Arianne broke out of wp4webnovel.com daze. “Mm… Let me go… Mm!”
