Mark slowly said as he stroked Arianne’s hair, “I’m not thinking about anything. I don’t want to since it’s tiresome to think too much. All I want is to hug you like this now. You smell really nice…”
Arianne pursed her lips and smiled. Mark no longer had the scent of roses on him and had returned to how he used to smell in the past. It would seem that Mark had changed all the bathing products that Shelly changed for him previously. He even changed back to the type that Arianne liked to use previously. Women have always been easily moved by little details. Although Mark was not a person who paid attention to details, he had already done his best for Arianne.
Suddenly, when they heard Smore coughing from the room next door, Arianne reflexively sat upright in shock. “I’ll go over and take a look at him. He’s been coughing for the past few days and doesn’t seem to be recovering.”
After covering Smore with a blanket and observing for a moment, Arianne returned to her bedroom again. “He’ll be fine. He hasn’t got a fever, just a few coughs, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. It’s getting late, let’s go to sleep. We still have to go to the office tomorrow.”
Mark pondered for a moment before he suddenly said, “About the plagiarism, you don’t have to ask about it anymore. You don’t have to know how I’ve resolved it. All you have to know is that neither you nor Tremont Enterprise will be affected by this.”
Arianne reached out her hand and punched him in the chest. “What are you doing talking about this in the middle of the night? Aren’t you afraid of ending up having too much to think about and then getting struck with insomnia? Wouldn’t it be better to just have a peaceful sleep? You really are trying to cause me more worries on purpose. I’m the one who’s mainly involved in this case, aren’t I? Why are you asking me not to ask about this? I have the right to know about it.”
Mark did not say anything and Arianne did not intend to continue asking either. Some things were better left unsaid.
