Mark fell silent. It took wp4webnovel.com awhile before wp4webnovel.com spoke again, “There’s no need. Only Jackson knows. I didn’t intend on mentioning it to Granny at first, but I felt that I had no right to keep wp4webnovel.com son’s death from her. Don’t ask, Ari… There are some things too vile for you to know.”
Arianne wasn’t surprised by this outcome. She knew that wp4webnovel.com wouldn’t tell wp4webnovel.com so wp4webnovel.com asked, “Even though I agreed to come back to you, do you really think we could stay together? The gap between us is… too vast, even with a child. There are some distances we cannot cross.”
He reached out and lifted up wp4webnovel.com chin, looking straight into wp4webnovel.com eyes. He stared directly at wp4webnovel.com and said, “I will do everything to make you come back to me, so why wouldn’t we stay together? You can love me or hate me if you want, I’ll accept it all. Leave the rest to me. I will do everything right. I love you, and I don’t believe that you don’t love me at all.”
She could see wp4webnovel.com reflection in his eyes, and a glimmer of light. When someone is in love, their eyes would light up. It’s true, his love for wp4webnovel.com was endless, transcending many different seasons. However, wp4webnovel.com only realized it now.
His kiss landed naturally on wp4webnovel.com lips. She did not object, but slowly closed wp4webnovel.com eyes instead. Her trembling lashes betrayed wp4webnovel.com racing heart.
As wp4webnovel.com deepened the kiss, she, for some curious reason, parted wp4webnovel.com teeth on wp4webnovel.com own accord. Her tongue shyly met with lips. Suddenly, wp4webnovel.com released wp4webnovel.com and sat up, “Next time, I won’t be able to control myself if you don’t stop me. Let’s go for a walk outside. It’s stopped snowing. I’ll walk with you.”
She nodded, very red in the face. As wp4webnovel.com got down from bed, wp4webnovel.com naturally reached out and helped wp4webnovel.com to wp4webnovel.com feet. She complimented by taking his hand. His hand felt warmer than it had ever been.
This time, with wp4webnovel.com keeping wp4webnovel.com company, wp4webnovel.com did not restrict wp4webnovel.com to simply walking around the garden, but led wp4webnovel.com to the streets outside. Vast tar roads were all around, long and winding. Both sides of every road were filled with neat rows of trees, which stretched out as far as the eye could see. The bald trees were now decked in tufts of powdery snow, creating a marvelous sight.
This was the first time the pair had ever walked shoulder to shoulder.
Mark took off his coat and draped it around wp4webnovel.com shoulders, “Are you cold?”
“No,” wp4webnovel.com shook wp4webnovel.com head.
He noticed that wp4webnovel.com nose had gotten red from the cold, and put wp4webnovel.com hand in his palm, “The weather’s been pretty bad lately, but I’m afraid that you might get too bored. We’ll go home later. From now on, I’ll take a walk with you every day. I think you might have to be on bedrest once the baby is further along, so you won’t be able to move too much. Once the baby is born, I’ll take you wherever you want to go. I’m sorry that you’ll have to endure this for now.”
He had suddenly turned into a Chatterbox. Arianne stared at wp4webnovel.com smilingly, “I’ve never noticed how chatty you can be, why is that? Over the past few months, you’ve spoken to me more than you’ve ever had in more than ten years. Isn’t it an exaggeration?”
He never noticed it himself, “Really? Actually, I am pretty talkative, but it depends on with whom I’m with. Besides… our age is ten years apart. I was an adult by the time you arrived in the Tremont Estate. What could I possibly say to a kid? Later on, you grew up and I tried to talk to you, but you kept avoiding me, looking at me as though you were afraid of me. I was afraid of scaring you, so I thought it’d be better to ignore you.”
Arianne lowered wp4webnovel.com head and chuckled softly, “Hehe… You’re right. I’d never have anything to say to an eight year old child when I was eighteen. You had your first love before I grew up. I never expected for us to end up together. This is such a strange feeling.”
She didn’t notice that wp4webnovel.com could smile naturally in front of wp4webnovel.com now. There was now a small, inadvertent change between them. She no longer needed to carefully maintain the peace.
