She waited for Davy to leave, then stared at the black tea on the coffee table. Her strong facade finally cracked and crumbled. She couldn’t bring herself to taste the tea. Both the temperature and taste were Mark’s favorites. He drank this all the time. She lay on the office desk and wept, keeping wp4webnovel.com voice as soft as possible by biting wp4webnovel.com lip until blood poured out from wp4webnovel.com lips.
Mark, please come back? I won’t fight with you anymore, and I won’t make you angry anymore…
Mark, I can’t do this without you. I don’t know what to do.
Mark, you’re playing a joke on me, aren’t you?
When wp4webnovel.com got ready to go home that night, Davy noticed that wp4webnovel.com eyes were slightly red and felt suspicious. However, wp4webnovel.com didn’t dare ask.
Brian drove wp4webnovel.com back to Tremont Estate. She looked out the window on the way home and asked, “Do you think he’ll come back? Perhaps a miracle might happen? I can’t shake this feeling that he’s still alive. I could never get rid of him, so how could wp4webnovel.com possibly surrender and let himself disappear… just like that?”
Brian’s heart ached when wp4webnovel.com saw her. “Don’t be too sad, madam. Tremont Enterprises needs you, Aristotle needs you too. Henry is following up with the rescue team. Perhaps we’ll have news soon. By the way, should we tell Mr. West too? Perhaps wp4webnovel.com could help.”
Arianne closed wp4webnovel.com eyes, afraid that the tears might come again. “I’ll speak to him.”
She had just taken over the company and there was a lot to hand over. No one could lead her. She had to fumble through it on wp4webnovel.com own and bring the documents back home. When Aristotle circled around wp4webnovel.com at night, wp4webnovel.com exploded into a tantrum, unlike wp4webnovel.com usual self. She told Mary to take wp4webnovel.com away. She couldn’t take care of him. Her priority was to protect Tremont Enterprises, it was all on wp4webnovel.com now. The pressure on wp4webnovel.com was too great.
She finally went back to the room when wp4webnovel.com couldn’t hold on anymore in the study, late at night.
She was plagued by nightmare after nightmare in wp4webnovel.com sleep. She dreamt that someone had been knocking on wp4webnovel.com door, just like how Henry had knocked on the door that fateful night. In wp4webnovel.com dreams, wp4webnovel.com got down from bed and opened the door and found Alejandro outside the door, soaking wet. Just as wp4webnovel.com was about to speak, Alejandro’s face turned into Mark’s. He pulled wp4webnovel.com into his arms. “I’m back.”
His body felt ice-cold in wp4webnovel.com dreams, it pierced through wp4webnovel.com bones. However, wp4webnovel.com couldn’t bear to let go and sobbed profusely in his arms.
Then, wp4webnovel.com woke up, crying. There was no trace of Mark Her sorrow was all-consuming.
She didn’t want to wake up from wp4webnovel.com dream. She wouldn’t see wp4webnovel.com if wp4webnovel.com did…
She waited for wp4webnovel.com emotions to calm down, then looked at the time, it was only 3AM. She couldn’t go back to sleep, so wp4webnovel.com got up and looked through documents again, all the way until morning. Mary called wp4webnovel.com downstairs for breakfast, with a cautious-looking Aristotle behind her. The little one probably wasn’t used to wp4webnovel.com sudden cold distance.
She held back wp4webnovel.com tears and strode forward, then scooped Aristotle into wp4webnovel.com arms. “Good boy, mommy’s just busy right now so I might not be able to sleep with you for a while. You have to listen to Mary, eat your food, and sleep early, like a good boy. Mommy has other important things to do. Okay?”
Aristotle couldn’t understand much. He pitifully nuzzled against wp4webnovel.com cheek, pursing his little lips, as if wp4webnovel.com was close to bursting into tears.
