“Why are you spacing out there?! Hurry up and say yes, Ari!”
Tiffany was shouting by the side, obviously excited.
Arianne regained wp4webnovel.com senses when wp4webnovel.com heard Tiffany screaming. She thought that it was all unbelievable. She wanted to ask what was going on, but it did not seem like the right time to talk about anything else given the circumstances. Hence, wp4webnovel.com slowly raised wp4webnovel.com hand under everyone’s watchful eyes. “Y-yes…”
Arianne still thought that wp4webnovel.com was dreaming, right up till the point where the ring was placed around wp4webnovel.com ring finger. ‘Is this the “big thing” that Mark has been busy with?’ Arianne was so agitated that wp4webnovel.com hands were slightly trembling…
Arianne’s eyes suddenly began to tear up and swell. ‘He really did keep his promise and give me the best. He’s announced to everyone that I’m his woman.’
As fireworks began to be released above the cruise, the music became merrier. Mark got up and kissed Arianne on the lips. “From now on, you’re mine. No, you’ve always been mine. This is only what I owe you. Now, everything has been paid in full.”
Arianne lowered wp4webnovel.com eyes and forced herself to calm down because wp4webnovel.com makeup was definitely going to be ruined if wp4webnovel.com cried. “How could you do this to me? Why didn’t you tell me beforehand…? You…”
Mark gently curled his lips into a smile. “It wouldn’t be called a surprise if I told you. What you’re wearing now was personally designed by me night after night. This is what you wanted, you said so yourself.”
Arianne still failed to hold wp4webnovel.com tears. ‘I should’ve known that Sylvain was trying to get me to talk. I only told wp4webnovel.com that a wedding gown that has been especially designed for the lady would show more sincerity, but I never thought that Mark would actually do it for me. Mark’s been sleeping in the morning because wp4webnovel.com was rushing the design for this dress through the nights, yet I was still angry at him. Why didn’t this big idiot explain himself?! He still refused to tell the truth in that situation!’
Arianne stood on wp4webnovel.com toes and hugged Mark “All I want is you…”
The fireworks above the cruise kept going, and Arianne had no idea how long had passed. She could still feel wp4webnovel.com body trembling even after wp4webnovel.com returned to the lounge. ‘Is it because it’s cold, or I’m too excited? I just can’t seem to calm myself.’
Melanie and Tiffany both accompanied her. When they saw how excited Arianne was, they felt shocked. Melanie laughed and said, “Arianne, I thought you wouldn’t give any kind of reaction even if the sky fell, but who knew you would be so excited. I suppose you’re mostly touched, aren’t you? Mark has really put in all this time.”
Tiffany patted Arianne’s shoulder. “I think wp4webnovel.com and Mark are the same cold on the outside, warm on the inside. She only looks as cold as ice on the outside. Ari, are you touched? I just found out about it yesterday as well. That asshole Jackson hid it from even me. However, I really did find it hard to keep it a secret. Luckily, I managed to keep my mouth shut before you. Was it exciting?”
Arianne felt very embarrassed after hearing their comments. “Stop teasing me, I was just… caught off guard. I suppose anyone would react the same way as me, wouldn’t they? For a moment there I thought that it was Robin and Sylvain’s wedding, but I never thought that you guys were actually hiding the truth from me. Moreover, I’ve got to hand it to you for being able to hide it so well.”
A hint of loneliness flashed through Melanie’s eyes, wp4webnovel.com marriage with Alejandro was done up about the same scale as it was that night. However, the only difference was that wp4webnovel.com marriage with Alejandro was not founded on their feelings for each other, but due to business reasons. The entire marriage was done as a show for others. Hence, every time Melanie looked at Jackson and Tiffany or Arianne and Mark, wp4webnovel.com would think that wp4webnovel.com had it the worst among them. To this day, Alejandro had not even shown any signs of loving her. She surmised that their relationship would probably have been long but broken if not for their daughter.
“Melanie, is Millie here?”
Arianne’s voice brought Melanie back to wp4webnovel.com senses. She hurriedly smiled and replied, “I didn’t bring wp4webnovel.com today. She’s too naughty and likes to run around too much. I had to leave wp4webnovel.com alone at home, since I wouldn’t be able to take care of wp4webnovel.com with this crowd. By the way, Smore is such a good boy, wp4webnovel.com was even able to present the ring.”
