Chapter 162 Getting A Contract Signed

Arianne was too lazy to be bothered about Mark. She pulled the blanket over her head and proceeded to sleep. All of a sudden, she felt a dip in the bed. Was Mark going to sleep in this room tonight? If she wasn’t mistaken, he came out with only a towel just now.She got up awkwardly and found another quilt. Just like that, the two of them slept the night away on the same bed but under different blankets.The next morning when Arianne got up, Mark was still asleep. His blanket had slipped down to his chest, and she stared at his sexy collarbone with guilt. Although it wasn’t her first time seeing it, looking at it early in the morning still made her blush a deep shade of red.Recalling how he treated Rice Ball last night, Arianne wickedly pulled Mark’s blanket over his head. To further secure it, she even threw her blanket over him so that he could taste the feeling of waking up from suffocation!Having done all that, she happily went downstairs for breakfast and instructed Mary to

Chapter 163 The Boss’ Request

Eric, who was about to leave the company, burst out into laughter when he heard what Arianne said. He called Mark as soon as he stepped out of the elevator and repeated what she said without missing a beat.Mark looked impossibly brooding on the other end of the line. “Laugh all you want, Eric. I’ll make laughing impossible for you later. Do you still want that contract signed?”Eric forced himself to stifle his laughter. “Cough, cough… Uh, it has nothing to do with me. I just heard her in the passing. Haven’t I been kind enough to tell you?”The corners of Mark’s lips curled up thoughtfully. “Eric, ask Arianne to sign the contract with me. Otherwise, I won’t be attending the appointment. I won’t meet anyone from your company either, for that matter. You have an hour and a half until office hours end to decide.”All traces of humor left Eric. “Big bro, don’t do this to me. What can I possibly do to Arianne if she refuses to go? Fire her? She’s your wife, what can I do? Besides, she sai

Chapter 164 Let Arianne Order

Arriving at the forty-sixth floor of Tremont Tower, Mark Tremont’s secretary, Ellie Amore, placed two pairs of slippers in front of the two ladies. “Please change into these.”Lily changed into the slippers as told, but Arianne ignored the order. Of course, she still knocked before entering the office and only went in after Mark gave permission. She was here to sign the contract, after all, not to quarrel.“Mr. Tremont, this is the contract from our company. You can have a look first. There’s no hurry to sign it. Let’s have a meal together later and you can take the time to consider,” Arianne said with a formal tone.She stood tall and straight with a smile. Other than her shoes that she had not changed, there was no fault.Mark scanned the document that she had passed him seriously, leaning against his chair. His somber front surprised Arianne, as she thought that he would make things difficult for her. It seemed like he really didn’t intend to mix work and personal affairs; although,

Chapter 165 Was That A Joke?

When the dishes were served consecutively, a hint of a smile grew more apparent at the corners of Mark’s lips. It felt like a breath of fresh air.Arianne was rather puzzled. Was something wrong with him today? She knew that he always had a façade in front of everyone but something did not feel quite right.After a moment of observation, she picked out a detail. No matter how he smiled in the past, his eyes looked like they were covered with ice. There was no emotion in them. Today, however, even his eyes were beaming…Mark did not come up with absurd requests during the meal, which kept Arianne on edge. The contract was soon signed. The process was so smooth that it felt like a dream to her.It was around eight at night when they exited the restaurant. The night breeze during this season was still a little chilly. Lily asked, “Arianne, are you going back with Mr. Tremont?”Before Arianne could answer, Mark replied, “She’s my missus. Of course she’s going back with me. Ellie, let Miss

Chapter 166 Staying In The Wind

Arianne was sober at once. “Which part do you mean?”For a moment, Mark did not know how to reply. After a short period of silence, he heard Arianne faintly say, “The accident’s injury has healed, and the miscarriage surgery was successful too. It stopped hurting a while ago. Aery Kinsey is having fun with a group of friends in the bar now, she must not have gotten hurt in that accident, right?”Mark did not say anything. That marked the end of their conversation.Soon, Arianne’s even breathing could be heard. Mark tucked her in and closed his eyes.The next morning, he woke up feeling like he was being stepped on. There was a distinct weight above him that was stepping around and moving. Opening his eyes, he realized with a startle that it was Rice Ball. The white ball of a body was moving freely on him.Not daring to exhale deeper, Mark carefully stuck his hand into Arianne’s blanket with the intention to wake her up so that she could take care of the lump of fur on him. Unfortunatel

Chapter 167 Don’t Let The Cat Into The House

How could Mark not understand what Mary meant between the lines? He pursed his lips before saying, “I’ll be heading out later and won’t be back for lunch. I’ll come home around four in the evening.”Mary hustled out to prepare his clothes for the outing and went to the backyard after that. “Ari, sir is going out shortly and will only be home at four in the evening. Don’t stay in the wind out here. It’s not even a month yet. What if you get other illnesses in the future from being so weak?”Arianne replied in a whisper, “I’ll head inside first. Let Rice Ball in for me after Mark leaves.”Mary nodded and couldn’t help being delighted. It wasn’t for much other than her feeling that Mark was concerned for Arianne. He never told the house staff that he was going out in the past, nor would he inform his return time. Even his dinner at home was an impromptu call back after a spontaneous decision. His anomaly today was obviously for Arianne and Rice Ball’s ‘space’.Just when Mark was prepared

Chapter 168 Striving To Live

Arianne snorted softly. “It’s a stray cat that I picked up. Mark didn’t allow me to keep it, but I insisted otherwise. After we fought several times, he agreed to allow me to keep it in the yard. I only let it come into the house when he isn’t home.”Tiffany gave her a thumbs up. “You are freaking awesome for having the guts to fight with Mark. I didn’t expect you to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”Not wanting to talk about Mark anymore, Arianne changed the subject. “So, what is this about you having a lot to grumble about and your blood boiling at the mention of your mom?”The expression on Tiffany’s face turned bitter and hateful. “I’m so vexed right now. I feel like the rest of my life is bleak if I’m going to live with my mom. It’s too exhausting… I’m working at Jackson’s company right now and also working part-time at night. Even with two incomes, I can’t support my mom. She just can’t get rid of her obsession with luxury goods and her habit of spending frivolously. Not only th

Chapter 169 Midnight Disturbance

Seeing the clear disgust on Mark’s face, Arianne was secretly flustered. However, she didn’t make any comments. After all, she couldn’t ask everyone to like Rice Ball just because she liked it. She was satisfied with just being able to keep it by her side.Arianne was even more surprised by the fact that Mark had no plans to go out at night. Why would a man who always avoided coming home as much as he could suddenly stay at home so obediently every night now? With Mark around the house, Arianne felt more uncomfortable, and she had even less time to spend with Rice Ball.When she went to bed at night, she suddenly recalled what Tiffany told her during the day and felt her face growing hot.Mark laid next to her, looking at his phone with his back turned to her. The densely packed text on his screen made her head hurt just by looking at it. She even wondered how he managed to stare at it for so long.The phone suddenly rang and startled her. It was Mark’s phone and the display showed

Chapter 170 Exercising The Rights Of Mrs. Tremont

Arianne started changing her clothes before even hanging up the phone. “Find a place and wait for me, I’m coming out now!”She finally received good news after having a bad time. At first, she thought the truth would take forever to come, but ‘Mr. Sloane’ had sent a letter again so soon.She only had one thing in mind and that was to quickly find out what happened back then. As long as her father was innocent, she could justify leaving the Tremont Estate and Mark Tremont. She didn’t want to continue living like a lowlife that was powerless to put up any resistance even when her child was killed...When she arrived at the coffee shop where they agreed to meet, Tiffany retrieved the letter from her bag. Arianne quickly took it and opened it. However, the content of the letter was a huge disappointment to her. ‘No need to find me. You won’t be able to. I won’t be able to provide you with more clues either. I can only tell you that your father was innocent. I have been troubled by this

Chapter 171 Bound By His Words

When Arianne didn’t get his answer, she continued, “What? You have money to fool around outside but don’t have any for your wife?”“I got it.” A hint of a cryptic smile appeared in Mark’s eyes.After hanging up the call, he immediately transferred some money to her on his phone. The smile in his eyes crept to his lips.Aery couldn’t help feeling jealous when she noticed Mark's seemingly great mood after receiving the call. “Mark dear, who was that? You seem really happy after receiving that call…”The smile on Mark’s face instantly reduced as he replied indifferently, “No one in particular.”Helen noticed the situation and whispered, “Aery, aren’t you talking too much? Not even food can stop your mouth?”Aery closed her mouth in annoyance. A woman’s instinct was always very accurate. The person who called Mark just now was definitely not an ordinary person.Arianne looked at the transaction notification on her phone with a slightly conflicted feeling in her heart. She had never
