Arienne got up and went upstairs, but stopped again when she was in front of Mark’s room.
While Arienne was hesitating, Butler Henry pushed open the door, leaving no room for her to mentally prepare herself.
She reflexively averted her gaze from the room. How would she react if she saw something she shouldn’t?
“Sir, madam isn’t in good health, so she needs to rest now. Please send the insignificant person to the guest room.” Butler Henry’s tone was humble, yet carried the weight of authority.
Mark was smoking a cigarette on the chair before the French window. He merely cast a silent glance at Arianne.
“Who are you calling insignificant?” Aery was quick to retort. “Mark dear is still smoking. If you don’t feel well, then why don’t you sleep in the guest room, big sis?”
Arienne said nothing. She only looked at Mark.
Butler Henry gently nudged her into the room. It was his silent push that reminded Arienne that she shouldn’t continue being a coward. “You’re not fit to sleep in this room unless I divorce him. Please get out.”
Aery immediately pouted her lips and ran to Mark. She circled her arms around his neck and started whining. “Mark dear, I’m just telling big sis for her own good. Look at how she talks to me…”
Mark snuffed his cigarette out, then spoke softly. “Go to the guest room.”
A smug look immediately appeared on Aery’s face. “Did you hear that? Mark dear is telling you to go to the guest room.”
He wasn’t really expecting an answer from her. He took out his suitcase and shoved his clothes inside.
Arienne went over and silently helped him pack, but he responded by kicking the suitcase away.
It was at that moment that tears welled up in her eyes. It felt as though a grain of sand had gotten into her eyes. “Mary isn’t around. Let me help you…”
Mark’s eyes were filled with rage. “Did you think I’d let you go and find Will Sivan? Don’t worry, you don’t have to find him. I’ll make him come back!”
She lifted her eyes to look at him, feeling flustered for some reason. How would he make Will come back...?
