Melanie was determined. “I certainly won’t make that kind of mistake. I’m happy enough with him. I’ll stay over tonight and go home tomorrow to get ready for the wedding. Mom, go home with father and the others later. Don’t worry about me. I have to nurture my relationship with him.Mrs. Lark nodded. “Alright. Remember, never completely devote yourself to Alejandro. You’re a Lark. You have to stay alert and guarded at all times. Should you ever need to part ways, you can come back to us.”Melanie disliked hearing these kinds of words. It was as though this was just a business transaction. She seemed to have forgotten she had thought so too earlier. She frowned. “I know… Stop talking.”...The Tremont Estate.Mark looked through the news on the Smiths through his phone. Arianne approached him with Aristotle in her arms. “Alejandro is getting married. He gave Smore a present during his one-month celebration. We should probably send something to reciprocate his gift.”Mark lifted hi
Tiffany was as angry as a wasp just now. Now, she became quiet all of a sudden. Jackson never expected it to be a call from Lynn, for it was an unknown number. He said coldly, “It’s inconvenient.” Then he hung up the phone directly. Tiffany smiled faintly and asked, “Didn’t you say that you’ve ceased contact with every other woman after you broke up with them? Is that how you cease contact with them? You contradict yourself. Does it feel good? She even addressed you as Jack. How intimate! Even I don’t address you like that.”Jackson was quite helpless. “Don’t mix it up, okay? I never contacted her. She called me all of a sudden. Didn’t I refuse to meet with her? Fine. We’re even now. Don’t talk about those annoying things. After you send Alejandro the wedding gift, I don’t wish to see you having any kind of contact with him again. I won’t be having any kind of contact with the other women. Is that okay? Besides, I think that we should let my mother know about your pregnancy. We
Jackson pursed his lips. He did not know what to say for a moment. Now, only he understood what Tiffany meant when she said that she would not have a moment of peace.Tiffany heard what Summer said. Seeing that he made no response, she raised her leg to kick the side of his waist and asked him to make an immediate response. She was reluctant to move to the West family residence and stay there until the baby was delivered. She would be extremely plump by then. Besides, she did not want to give her job up, and she wanted to continue with her work. Jackson thought for a short while and said, “Mom, there’s no need for that. I’ll take good care of Tiffie. I’m just telling you about her pregnancy. And I need your help to plan and hold the wedding since I don’t have much time for that. Besides, she wants to continue with her work, and I’ve gained her approval to transfer her back to the headquarters. We’ll get to and get off work together every day. There’s nothing much to worry about. You
The moment Tiffany thought about those trivial things, she became quite annoyed. “You can just discuss it among yourselves. I don’t know much about it anyway. I’m hungry now. I’ll go and see whether dinner is ready. Have you eaten? If not, let’s eat together.”Summer stared at Jackson, blaming him. “What time is it now? Why haven’t you had your dinner? Things have changed now. Tiffie is pregnant. You need to cook and eat earlier. We’ve eaten.” Jackson was helpless. He began to regret telling Summer about Tiffany’s pregnancy. Now, Tiffany was very adored and cherished, but he was forced to endure the complaints and blames. In order to provide a better sleep for Tiffany, Summer did not linger there for long with Atticus and Lillian. Before they left, they gave them more advice. After they left, both Tiffany and Jackson breathed a sigh of relief in tacit understanding of each other. Then, Tiffany broke into laughter. “Didn’t I ask you not to tell them about it so soon? Now, do you
Arianne looked at the time and realized that it was around ten in the morning. They could go shopping and have lunch together. It was just about right, so she nodded and agreed to go with her. “Fine, let’s go and have lunch at White Water Bay Café after we’re done shopping. After having different meals at so many restaurants, I still feel that the restaurant Jackson founded is the best. It’s so delicious.”When they reached the shopping mall, Tiffany got caught up in her bad habit again. She could not leave whenever she saw bags. She was still slightly hesitant the first time she used the credit card. After that first instance, she started to lose her control. Arianne was forced to drag her away. “That’s more than enough now. You won’t be able to take so many things with you if you buy so much. I think that it was a mistake for Jackson to give you a credit card. He’ll regret it sooner or later!” Tiffany looked at the things she bought in her hands. It seemed like she had not had eno
Tiffany approached Janice and looked at the badge around her chest carefully. “Yes, she’s called Janice Bell. She’s just an intern, and she’s not an official employee there just yet. Mark, how capable you are, indeed! You don’t even know what kind of jewelry your wife likes. You asked another person to choose one for you. Is that true?” Arianne looked at Mark, waiting for his reply. Mark became nervous, being stared at like that by Arianne. His palms became sweaty. “I… That… It’s indeed true. Ari, since you’re here, why don’t you choose the ones you like?” Arianne was in no mood to choose jewelry at the moment. She then said calmly, “Money is everything. If you don’t know what I like, just give me money so that I can buy one myself. You don’t have to worry much about this too. Are you quite free? How could you even have the time to come here and choose jewelry. I’m tired, so I’ll let you bring Smore with you back to the company this afternoon, since you did quite a good job takin
Arianne and Tiffany were in much better spirits after they left the shopping mall. As planned, the pair went for a meal at White Water Bay Café. Then, they went to the beauty salon. Arianne was indeed irritated by the sight of Janice standing next to Mark. Even though they shared a bed every night and seemed to get along, who knows if Mark would promptly have an affair when she turned into a wrinkly old woman one day.She didn’t think that her life had turned into a complete mess after her marriage, but her confidence was shaken at that moment. At her age, she should be pursuing a career, yet she got married and gave birth at a young age. She couldn’t give up on herself and stay in the glass house that Mark had built for her, and allow herself to become a degenerate. She didn’t need that kind of life.Back at the office, Aristotle had already learned to flip over, and he was full of energy too. Mark didn’t dare leave him alone on the couch during work, so he had no choice but to hold
Arianne and Tiffany rushed to the hospital after receiving the call. Arianne had a feeling that Eric’s life had reached its end. At this point, entering the hospital was undoubtedly equivalent to entering the gates of heel. No one could say for sure if he could get through this.When the group met at the hospital, Eric was still in the emergency room. Arianne noticed Janice, who was holding Aristotle, with a single glance. Janice realized that it was inappropriate for her to hold onto Smore, so she walked up to Arianne and said, “Mrs. Tremont, I’ll give Smore to you now. I have to go back to the office.”Arianne took Aristotle, curled her lips and replied, “Mm, thank you.”She was uncomfortable. Mark could have asked Davy to come along; he didn’t have to bring Janice. Unless, Janice was already with him when he received the call about Eric… Their priority was Eric. She couldn’t pick a fight with Mark at a time like this. Everyone was in a bad mood. Some things had to be left alone
