Arriane said in a dull tone, “No, I’m still dissatisfied. We can forget about certain things, but there are some things you just can’t forget. Before it’s resolved, I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t even want to see you. Didn’t you say it’ll be fine no matter what happens to me? You can hold the baby. Why? After taking care of him for just a day, you can’t take it anymore? I took care of the baby every day after I gave birth. The trouble you experienced today? I’ve been experiencing them for a few months now.”
Perhaps Mark was angry, so he blurted out, “What are you complaining about? You’re the one who wanted a baby!” However, he regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth.
Arianne did not get angry. In fact, she was so deathly calm that it was terrifying. “So, what you’re saying is I deserve to live like that just because I wanted the baby? Are you saying that I’ve got no right to pursue the kind of life I want just because of that? It’s me who wanted the kid, so no matter what happens, I can’t complain about it. Is that it? Since you’ve said such words, me and my kid have nothing to do with you. Why are you still keeping us with you? Is there a point to that? If you don’t like Smore, there’s no need for you to force yourself to accept him. After all, from the get-go, you’ve been against me giving birth to him.”
Mark softened his attitude immediately. “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean that. I just said it out of anger. It’s nonsense. I definitely love Smore. I was only against you giving birth because I was worried about your safety. Smore belongs to both of us. I shouldn’t have said those d*mned words. Please forget I ever said that. When he’s older, you can work if you want to. I won’t stop you.”
Arianne adjusted her position and lay flat on the bed. She closed her eyes as she said, “Are you done talking? If you’re done, go away. I don’t want to see you now. Please switch off the light on your way out.”
Mark knew that he could not leave at that moment. If he left, everything would just be the same. Their argument was still unresolved. He did not want to be like that anymore. After thinking about it for a short while, he decided to act shamelessly. He switched the light off and lay down next to her. “If you don’t want to go back to the bedroom and sleep, I’ll sleep with you here. Let Smore sleep alone.”
