Instead of returning to Tremont Estate after exiting the office, Arianne sent Will a text. ‘Are you alright? I’m sorry that you were implicated in the accident when I was the target.’
Will directly called her on the phone. “I’m fine. It’s just a scratch. But… are you okay now? What do you mean by you were the target?”
Arianne didn’t want to impose those disgusting affairs on the others, so she didn’t tell Will anything. “I’m doing pretty well over here, so let’s not talk about that anymore. I’m glad you’re alright. I’ll hang up now.”
Without giving Will a chance to say something else, Arianne quickly ended the call.
Since Tiffany was at work and Arianne didn’t want to bother her either, she found a random cafe to spend her time. She gradually relaxed as she sipped on the cup of latte she ordered while watching the busy traffic outside the window.
All of a sudden, she noticed a dirty stray cat passing by the window outside. Although it was dirty, Arianne could tell that it had a white coat. The cat looked at her curiously with its aqua-colored eyes, as though it had just discovered something novel.
The corners of her mouth lifted involuntarily as she pressed her hand against the glass window. She didn’t expect the stray cat to lift its paw and press it against the window too. With their hands separated by a layer of glass, it was at that moment Arianne made the decision to adopt it.
When she brought the stray cat back to Tremont Estate after taking it to a pet salon for a groom, Mary paled with shock. “Ari, from where did you pick this cat up from? I think sir is allergic to cats, he’s never allowed any pets at home…”
Allergic? Pets not allowed? All the more reason for her to keep it!
“Mary, I am the mistress of this house, right? So this is also my house. Do I need to seek approval from anyone to do anything in my own house? If he doesn’t like it, then that’s his business. There’s nothing wrong with doing whatever I please. I can always sleep in a different room and keep the cat in my own room so that it won’t bother him.”
Arianne stopped hiding from Mark and followed Mary downstairs. Although she was still as upset… no, even more upset now to see him, she didn’t plan on hiding from him anymore. After all, there was no point in living like a rat.
As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, Butler Henry went up to her and said, “Madam, sir is looking for you.”
She glanced toward the living room and saw Mark sitting on the sofa, then approached him. “Why are you looking for me? Did Aery tell you that I wanted to kill her today?”
Mark lifted his gaze to look at her and furrowed his eyebrows. “Did you not see the news?”
Arianne took out her phone and saw that one of the trending news was titled: ‘Mrs. Arianne Tremont openly admitted at her workplace that the father of the child she had miscarried in the car accident a few days ago wasn’t Mr. Mark Tremont.’
