The next morning, Mark walked downstairs with a smile on his face. Mary saw how happy wp4webnovel.com looked and asked, “Did something good happen today, Mr. Tremont? You’re in a good mood this morning. Is Mrs. Tremont awake? Shall I call wp4webnovel.com down for breakfast?”
Mark straightened out his tie, “Nothing much, I just like the weather today. She’s awake. Tell wp4webnovel.com to come down.”
Mary glanced out the window suspiciously. It was snowing. How was this good weather?
Arianne shivered the moment wp4webnovel.com arrived downstairs. She wondered who left the door open downstairs. Snowflakes were being blown in by the cold air. Mary quickly shut the door, “Are you cold? Put on more layers, you don’t want to catch a cold. You always wore thin clothes to school during winter when you were little, so you’d catch a cold every winter and would only recover after the season changed. You’ve always had a frail body, and it’s only accumulated over the years. It’ll take years before you rebuild your health.”
Arianne glanced at Mark Of course, his expression had changed. He knew how harsh wp4webnovel.com used to be towards her, right? He would never give wp4webnovel.com anything nice, unless wp4webnovel.com pitifully asked for it. She could wear one piece of clothing for many years, for all wp4webnovel.com cared.
“Don’t you have anything better to do, Mary?” wp4webnovel.com asked in a muffled voice.
Mary suddenly realized that wp4webnovel.com shouldn’t have brought up the past, “Uh… Yes! I’m busy. I’m boiling soup in the kitchen. I’ve got to go!”
Arianne didn’t mind. She smiled as wp4webnovel.com sat at the dinner table and ate a warm bowl of oats, “What? Feeling sorry? Have you finally become aware of how horrible you’ve been to me? You were just like this winter, so cold that people only ever wanted to run off to somewhere warm, preferring to avoid seeing or touching you.”
Mark put a boiled egg that wp4webnovel.com had peeled into a bowl in front of her, “That was then, this is now. By the way, did you perceive Will Sivan as a fresh spring breeze because you saw me as winter personified? It’s my fault for not being good enough; that’s why you ran off with someone else. That won’t happen again.”
Her hand, which held a spoon, stiffened. She was stunned. He was actually bringing Will up on his own, and there was no resentment or iciness in his tone… Had this weight on his mind been inadvertently lifted?
After breakfast, Mark planted a kiss on wp4webnovel.com forehead before heading out, “Wait for me to come home.”
She nodded stiffly and watched wp4webnovel.com walk out into the blustering snow. She felt a little confused. Why did this feel so perfect to her? Was this temporary? Or was consistency possible? Could wp4webnovel.com really enjoy all of this with peace of mind? Could wp4webnovel.com really… live happily ever after with him? In that moment, a myriad of thoughts flooded wp4webnovel.com mind — wp4webnovel.com father’s death and the things wp4webnovel.com grandmother had said. Could wp4webnovel.com really let it all go?
