Mark couldn’t help smirking when he saw the look on her face. “We’ll be on our way then. Thank you, doctor.”
Arianne’s heated face slowly reverted back to normal. The doctor didn’t even need to mention sex; she was well aware of it. Mentioning it out loud only made it more embarrassing…
“Why were you blushing?” Mark asked, teasing her on purpose.
She looked out the window, pretending as if nothing had happened. “I was not. The hospital was warm, so I was feeling hot from all these extra layers. What’s wrong with that?”
Due to the tedious trip to the hospital in the middle of the night, Mark woke up later than usual the next morning. By the time he arrived at the office, it was almost 10AM. He had just stepped out of the elevator when his secretary, Davy, greeted him and said, “Mr. Tremont, Miss Cameran is here to see you.”
Miss Cameran, who else could it be except Helen?
Mark wasn’t surprised. This wasn’t the first time Helen had come to see him behind Arianne’s back. “Got it.”
As he entered the office, Helen was looking through the fashion magazines on the coffee table. She got up when she saw him walking in and smiled. “Mark, you’ve come in pretty late.”
He lifted his hand, gesturing at her to sit down. “Can I help you?”
Helen was about to get into her car after emerging from Mark’s office, when Aery ran towards her, nearly knocking her down. “You went to visit Mark?”
Helen frowned. “That’s none of your business.”
The expression on Aery’s face seemed to warp. “None of my business? What do you mean? If you hadn’t given birth to Arianne, Mark would have been mine! You’ve gone to see Mark because of Arianne, haven’t you? You won’t even see her yourself, but you keep thinking about her. How low can you go? You’re the one who abandoned her in the first place and now you won’t stop thinking about her. You’re such a fake!”
“For how long are you going to be like this?” Helen asked with a straight face. “Haven’t you been taught enough lessons? I didn’t bail you out from prison to have you cause even more problems. You’d better behave yourself from now on, or I’ll sever ties with you. I managed to abandon my old life and run away with Jean Kinsey before; I can always do the same and abandon you for the sake of my own freedom too. Do you understand me? Don’t think that you can cling on to me just because I brought you into this world. No one on this planet can ever hold me down!”
