Inside Tiffany’s little gift box was a pair of delicate golden bracelets while Tanya’s featured a golden pendant representing the child’s horoscope bound by a red string.After examining the gifts, Arianne gave a peck on Aristotle’s puffy cheeks and cooed, “Thank your two aunties, sweetie. You gotta remember them when you grow up, okay? They’d love you so much!”Vicky, noticing the hubbub, propped her booty up and sashayed toward them. She had dressed with much splendour today. In stark contrast to her more down-to-earth presentation when she first met Tiffany and Tanya for the first time, she was now dazzling with a veneer of magnificence.“Oh, you guys are here already?… Ah, this must be Mrs. Tremont! A pleasure to meet you. I’m Eric’s girlfriend! Here, this is for the little sweetheart. Ricky and I had bought this little present — aww, look at how adorable he is!”Arianne had heard all about Vicky Nathaniel from Tiffany, so she responded to her with a courtly smile while Mary receiv
Having more people occupying the Tremont Estate did not turn the spacious house more vivacious. Instead, it seemed to have sucked out all of the life in the area.Tiffany, who was firmly on Tanya’s side, did not attempt to hide her animosity toward Vicky. Throw Jackosn’s presence into the mix, and it was as though dangerous undercurrents were charging through the air.Vicky was not the least perturbed. Instead, she freely dove into the men’s group and chatted away, making herself look like the sun while the others were orbiting planets.A woman who acted as though she knew everyone, strangers and friends alike, would always draw ire from some people, but Vicky became particularly egregious when she kept ordering Mary, who was taking care of Aristotle, around like she was the mistress of the house. “Excuse me, Mary, but could you please make me a glass of juice or something? I don’t like tea.”Mary tolerated her only because she respected Eric. “My hands are tied with the baby, dear. Th
Tiffany turned away as her eyes brimmed with tears. Jackson had been ignoring her from the very beginning, acting very intimate with his best friend’s girlfriend instead! A few seconds later, she grabbed her handbag and said to Arianne, “Ari, we’ve still got some time before dinner. The weather is great today. Shall we go shopping? Mary can take care of the baby. You’ve prepared breast milk already anyway.”All women enjoyed shopping, and Arianne was no different. She easily agreed. “Good idea; you invite Tan. Let’s go together. Didn’t you drive today? Let’s take your car…” Before she could finish speaking, Tiffany stiffly corrected her. “That’s not my car. It’s about time I return it to its actual owner. Let me drive one of your husband's cars.”Jackson’s smile faltered. Having dated Tiffany for a long time, he was still keenly aware of whenever Tiffany was angry with him. She had been driving his car for a while and now suddenly insisted on returning it to him. That certainly did
Tiffany gave an “okay” sign. “No problem. Your son’s nickname shall be ‘Smore’! It’s pretty cute.”Smore, Rice Ball. A baby and a cat. Both little ones were Arianne’s saviors. The dreamcatcher with Rice Ball’s ashes had been protecting her from all nightmares. Smore was probably just as gentle.The women wasted no time at the mall, buying whatever they liked. Soon after, the trio’s hands were full of shopping bags.Suddenly, Tiffany’s phone rang. She strained to answer it with one arm. “Hello?”“Shopping?” Alejandro’s distinctively hoarse voice answered. “Do you have eyes on me or something?” Tiffany asked in alarm.Alejandro chuckled, “Hehe… Not exactly. Jett was making some purchases for me and saw you in the shopping mall. I got word that your friend has just had her baby’s one-month old celebration, so I sent a gift in your name. You don’t mind, do you?”Tiffany was surprised. “You’re giving presents again? But I didn’t see you. Were you there?”“No, I wasn't there,” Aleja
Upon entering the baby’s room, Arianne spotted a dreamcatcher hanging over Aristotle’s little cot. She was surprised that Mark had put a dream catcher there. The man could be quite a softie sometimes...The little one was fast asleep, smacking his tiny lips from time to time. It looked so cute. His two little hands were balled into fists, curled on his sides. His arms had grown so chubby that there was a slit in between. It would seem that he did not suffer during his time in the hospital. The milk that she had been sending over to him was just enough. The little guy was pretty good looking. She carefully slipped out after checking on the baby. She arrived downstairs to find Tiffany opening up her spoils from her shopping trip today. “I wasn’t planning on using Jackson’s car anymore, but it looks like I’ll have to for today. I’ve bought too many things. I’ll give it back to him personally after using it. Consider it an end to everything that’s happened between us. Besides, he person
Jackson finally moved their makeout session to the couch when her legs began to give way. Her hands finally freed, she immediately gave him a slap.He was taken aback for a second before he pinned her arms above the top of her head and sunk his hips into her, kissing her.The bloody and sweet fragrance frightened Tiffany into submission. A drunk man should not be trifled with — she was beginning to comprehend this. She shouldn’t have come to return the car!After a certain amount of time, just as she was growing woozy, Jackson growled into her ear with a voice that was both enticing and mixed with rage. “Is he better than me? Have you f*cked him? Answer me!”The only thing Tiffany felt was that the ceiling was moving. His thrusts were incomparably forceful, rendering her completely incapable of formulating complete sentences. Every time she opened her mouth, she would cry out in a voice that could make anyone blush. Her energy levels paled in comparison to his exuberance, and she s
Just as Mark was about to leave, Arianne smilingly carried little Smore towards him. “Say bye bye to daddy.”Mark stared at the traces of milk on the corners of his son’s lips, and his jealousy grew. He never would have expected to be defeated by such a small thing in the end. “I’m coming home early for dinner tonight.”Arianne detected the hidden meaning behind his words and blushed. “Hurry. Brian’s been waiting for a very long time.”Mark stared challengingly at Aristotle before he left, kissing Arianne on the cheek as if showing off. Almost as if he knew what his father had meant, Aristotle turned around and tried to suckle on his mother’s breast. Mark’s face immediately blackened. He turned around and left, refusing to look back. He would make his son pay for his first-ever attack!White Water Bay Villa.Tiffany woke up from the sound of her phone ringing. She opened her eyes and found that it was past ten in the morning. She forced herself to sit up, feeling an intense sorene
She grabbed the bedsheets, losing control. “H-how should I know? He never discussed it with me. How would I know what goes on in his mind?”Jackson’s eyes held no desire as he stared at her blurry eyes and blushing cheeks. He knew that women never lied during times like this.He got up and flashed a smile. “At least, you’re honest.”Tiffany was both embarrassed and frustrated. “Jackson West! You’ve crossed a line! What do you think we are? You toy with me when you want to and discard me when it suits you? Am I no different from other women? Get this right — I am not your toy!”He was taken aback. He realized that he had really crossed a line. “I did not…”He did not? Tiffany refused to believe him at this moment. He clearly did. He had pursued her relentlessly and then suddenly ignored her. Now, he was coming at her again for some strange reason. She felt completely insulted!She gritted her teeth and got off the bed, picking up her clothes and rushing into the bathroom. In order
