Ethan clearly had come prepared. He brought out a diamond ring from the pocket of his hospital gown. He did not give Tiffany the chance to reject him and directly put the ring on her finger. “I bought this ring a long time ago. Whenever I miss you at night, I’d always look at the ring. That’s how I endured it.” The size of the diamond ring was just right. The light reflected on the diamond, and it shone brightly under the night sky. Tiffany, who was still stunned and confused, remained in his embrace. She could feel his sincerity and urgency. However, his urgency and desperate appearance made her feel suffocated. “Ethan...just let go of me first.” However, Ethan did not listen to her. He turned her around and bent down to kiss her lips. He tightened his grip on her, trapping her in his embrace. The night was quiet. He had proposed to her with a diamond ring under the starry sky. There was no one around to disturb them. It should be romantic, but Tiffany did not feel that way at

She quickly got up and cleaned herself before she went downstairs for breakfast. However, she did not see Mark. She only saw the cutleries he left behind after his meal. She was afraid he might leave without her so she decided not to have breakfast. She quickly grabbed her bag and prepared to rush out.When Mary saw this, she quickly stopped her. “What are you doing? You haven’t eaten breakfast yet! Sit down and have your breakfast!”Arianne put on her shoes as she looked outside. “I’m running out of time. Has Mark left yet? I’m busy now. I’ll have something to eat later.” Mary was amused by her. “He hasn’t left. He said that he’s going to turn on the air conditioner in the car first. Otherwise, you’ll feel the heat when you get into the car later. He’s afraid that you might feel uncomfortable. Don’t worry. Just eat your breakfast. Brian is not here today. Mister is being extremely nice toward you.” She was stunned. She stopped wearing her shoes. She asked Mary casually, to hide

Panic filled his eyes as he cut the call. After a short pause, he said, “I think this isn’t a good time to tell Tiffany. I’ll talk to Ethan. Just leave it to me.”She could not understand his actions. However, she chose to trust him. “Alright, please try your best to sort it out. I truly don’t want Tiffie to go through another hard time, please?” He nodded stiffly before he returned Arianne’s phone. “Remember, don’t tell Tiffany about it. Let me handle it.”She agreed. “I got it. Go get busy then, I’ll head back home.”Mark made a sound of acknowledgment as he stood at the same spot. He had no intention of sending her off right now.Arianne did not think much of it and left the office obediently. She was not completely obtuse, she had noticed the drastic change in Mark after receiving that phone call....Mark drove to the hospital where Ethan was staying during lunchtime. Surprisingly, Ethan did not escape but waited for him patiently.Ethan absolutely did not look like a vic

After listening to Ethan’s words, Mark discovered the lengths Mr. Sloane had gone to conceal Ethan’s involvement in the plane crash. He even chose to shoulder the burden alone.Ethan was only about ten years old, and yet, he already harbored such intense malice and hatred. It was no surprise that such a boy would rise to this position today by leaving a trail of blood in his wake.The most ironic thing, however, was that George was wrong. He knew about Mark’s conversation with his father in the latter’s study, but he had no inkling of what came after; the young boy had gone to his mother’s room immediately later. It was that fateful night that Mark Tremont had to discard his innocence. It was that night when he finally understood how bitter reality was.He had gone to his mother’s bedroom straight from his father’s study because his poor mother had become so bedridden that it was a toil for her to walk. He did not expect his mother was already aware of her husband’s illegitimate son. S

Mark extended his hand in her direction and beckoned her over. “Come here.”Arianne obeyed him obediently. It felt as though all the barriers between them had disappeared.He pulled her to him, seating her on his lap before he rested his chin on her shoulders. He inhaled her scent, allowing it to soothe the turmoil in his mind. “Ari, do you truly wish to leave me?”This was the first time Arianne had heard him referring to her as Ari while he was sober. It made her nervous for some reason. Her palms began to sweat, and her body stiffened. She stammered, “W-w-why are you asking me that right now? Y-you’re acting really weird!”He responded by tightening his arms around her, it was almost as though he was worried she would run away. “I want to know.”Arianne turned the question over and over in her head. She had always wanted to leave him, right? However, why was it so difficult for her to answer the question now?As though he could sense Arianne’s dilemma, he did not persist with the qu
