Arianne no longer wanted to suppress her feelings for Mark. “I don’t know what exactly happened, either. All I know is that I suddenly realized how much I love you. It’s so overwhelming, so strong, I feel—no, I yearn to be beside you at every moment. We don’t even have to do anything; just watching you is enough. But most of all? I’m mortified at the idea that you might disappear all of a sudden, and then I remember how that almost happened—how you almost completely vanished from my life—and my heart… It feels crushed. I feel a weight on my chest; I can’t breathe. I… I wonder, Mark, do you know how that feels?”Arianne did not have to wait for long, for her awaited answer came in the form of a swift, firm kiss.Of course, Mark loved her the same way as she did him; he always had. He loved her so much that he could not bear to be separated from her. All of the wiles and trickeries and labors he had done, just to make her stay! It used to be one-sided, and he had to resort to intimidat

Robin’s potential husband arrived before dinner, along with his parents. Everyone was in high spirits, except Robin.Everyone at the dinner table made every effort to matchmake them, but Robin stayed completely silent. She couldn’t even pretend to smile.This went on until 10PM, when her relatives and potential husband left, along with his own family. Robin immediately went back to her room and changed out of her clothes, then got ready to go out.Mrs. Cox threw her clothes onto the ground. “What was that? That sulky look on your face? Does someone owe you money? Have you forgotten all your good manners? You’re not to step out of this house today. If you leave, you can forget about ever coming back!”Robin pulled out her ID and waved it in front of her mother. “How old do you think I am? I’m over twenty years old. Anyone at my age who’s married early would have had independent kids by now. I’m not a child anymore. Why do you have to control me all the time? You don’t want a daughte

Sylvain seemed very calm. He was well aware of Mrs. Cox’s disapproval of him. She had even scolded him on the phone once. He never expected to be sitting with her.He ordered a few extra nachos from the food truck seller. “Would you like something to drink, Mrs. Cox?”Mrs. Cox felt that he was being too calm and couldn’t help taking a few extra looks at him. “Mineral water will do. I’m not used to anything else.”After completing the order, Sylvain smiled. “Mrs. Cox, please, speak your mind.”“What’s your relationship with my daughter?” Mrs. Cox asked with a straight look on her face.Robin was close to tears. “Mom, how could you ask such a question? How did you find me? Can’t I have a personal life? Must you get involved with everyone I talk to? Let’s go home, okay?”Mrs. Cox ignored Robin and stared squarely at Sylvain, waiting for his reply.Sylvain paused thoughtfully and said, “We used to date, but we’re friends now. However, I’m hoping for us to get back together someday.

For the first time ever, Mrs. Cox did not flip out. Instead, she spoke in an earnest tone. “Robin, you’re still young. Don’t choose the wrong path. Try to keep in touch with that potential suitor. At least, you’ll still have a backup if you and Sylvain break it off. I know I can’t persuade you, and I really can’t be bothered to do it anyway. The house will be in chaos if we end up fighting again. I’m exhausted too. I won’t object to you dating Sylvain, but I have one condition, and that is for you to stay pure. No hanky panky business with him, understand? From now on, no going out to eat in the middle of the night, and you have to be home by 11PM.”Robin felt guilty but happy at the same time. This was the first time her mother had ever said something nice to her. “Okay! You’re the best, mom!”The next day, at the company, Sylvain and Arianne began discussing the events from last night. “I met Robin’s mom last night.”Arianne shivered at the thought of Mrs. Cox’s stern face. “Are y

Arianne took a deep breath. “Why are you apologizing? He’s your ex-husband, and his actions aren’t related to you at all. Therefore, there’s no need for you to apologize nor return to the country to resolve this. Since I’ve discovered the culprit, I’ll be able to deal with it accordingly. You should remain hidden. Wouldn’t you be walking right into his trap if you show up?”Helen disagreed. “Arianne, things aren’t as simple as you think. He has been driven up to a corner and has nothing to lose. He’s like a rabid dog now. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do. You should never underestimate a man who has got nothing to lose, you wouldn’t be able to come out of it unscathed. Regardless, I’m the one who started this so I should be the one to end it.”How could Arianne allow Helen to put herself at risk after learning about that? “You mustn’t return. It’s not up for discussion. I’ll ask my men to look for him. Let’s see what’s the worst he could do to me!”After hanging up, Arianne said throu
