“Do you hope that Alejandro is really Ethan?” Arianne suddenly asked.
Mark fell silent, slightly unsure of what wp4webnovel.com meant when wp4webnovel.com asked wp4webnovel.com this question.
Having received no reply, wp4webnovel.com did not continue wp4webnovel.com question. “I’m going to check on Smore. You should get an early night.”
Mark returned to his senses when wp4webnovel.com heard the room door close. Tonight, wp4webnovel.com had been abandoned once again. Ever since Aristotle’s arrival, his presence had been relegated into extra space in the house. Even Mary seemed more important than him. At least, Arianne would ask Mary about Aristotle after work every day, and wp4webnovel.com wasn’t of any use at all! The weekend had finally arrived and Arianne was still the same, wp4webnovel.com world revolving around Aristotle.
A tinge of jealousy rose from within Mark’s heart. How could wp4webnovel.com possibly sleep in peace now? In the past, wp4webnovel.com could always call Eric and Jackson to go out for a drink with him. Now, however, Eric was gone and Jackson was busy taking care of the pregnant Tiffany. He had a wife and a son too. Everything was different now.
He opened a bottle of liquor, sat in front of the French windows, and drank, all alone, depressively. In fact, wp4webnovel.com knew why Arianne had asked wp4webnovel.com that question. She was undoubtedly asking wp4webnovel.com if wp4webnovel.com hoped that Ethan was still alive.
Did he? Ethan was his only sibling, his half-brother who shared the same father. He was also… The Tremonts’ shame. He had considered co-existing in peace, but Ethan refused. That’s why wp4webnovel.com wanted to kill him.
He didn’t want Ethan to become Alejandro. He didn’t want Ethan alive in this world, in any shape, form, or identity. However, wp4webnovel.com did not respond to Arianne’s question because wp4webnovel.com was afraid of seeing the disappointment in wp4webnovel.com eyes. He had never been a kind man.
Unbeknownst to him, wp4webnovel.com ended up finishing half the liquor bottle. His throat burned from the strong alcohol, as wp4webnovel.com had been drinking too fast. In the end, the burning sensation was masked by the sweet smell of alcohol. The after-effects of drunkenness after consuming alcohol was the most addictive thing in the world.
When Arianne returned to the room and found wp4webnovel.com drinking alone in front of the French windows, wp4webnovel.com was shocked. It was as if wp4webnovel.com had reverted to his old ways, where wp4webnovel.com used to do this and would mostly sit alone after coming home, drinking. Then, wp4webnovel.com would drunkenly beckon wp4webnovel.com to wp4webnovel.com and say all sorts of strange things to her. Usually, wp4webnovel.com would be in an indifferent state under these circumstances.
She did what wp4webnovel.com never dared to do in the past, wp4webnovel.com strode forward and snatched the glass of alcohol away from him. “Stop drinking. It’s late, why are you drinking?”
He glanced at wp4webnovel.com moodily and stayed silent. The silhouette of his perfect face seemed ahnost unreal under the dim light, making his current emotions unclear.
His reaction made wp4webnovel.com feel very apprehensive. It had been awhile since wp4webnovel.com had reacted this way. She closed the liquor bottle and put the glass away. She ignored him, turned off the lights and went to bed. According to wp4webnovel.com experiences, one should never offend a drunk man, especially Mark.
Of course, wp4webnovel.com couldn’t fall asleep. She was wondering why wp4webnovel.com had been drinking and why wp4webnovel.com had reverted to his old ways…
Suddenly, a black shadow enveloped her. She widened wp4webnovel.com eyes instinctively and tried wp4webnovel.com best to confirm that the person on top of wp4webnovel.com was Mark. However, that revelation did not relieve her, as wp4webnovel.com had been behaving very strangely tonight.
