Since he admitted to his mistake in such a straightforward manner, and his attitude was particularly good. Arianne could not bring herself to throw a tantrum. Instead, she calmly said, “There is no ‘if’. The doctors have already explained it very clearly. There’s no loophole here. You’re always hurting me, Mark Tremont. I hate it.”
Although she spoke calmly, her words were like needles that pierced his heart. This was not the first time she said she hated him. However, this time, it hurt much more compared to before. “I know it’s my fault, but the matter isn’t set in stone. Regardless, we should discuss it after the checkup.”
Arianne lost the interest to continue the conversation once she thought about having to go to the hospital and everything she would have to face. However, there was no avoiding it.
She glanced at Mark’s untouched ramen. She felt annoyed. She had eaten it without any complaints, and yet, he would not even eat the food he cooked?
“Eat the noodles.”
Seeing that she was nearly done eating, Mark had no choice but brace himself and eat. It should not be that bad. He picked up his fork and continued eating. The result was the same. There was nothing strange, but it really did not taste good. It was too bland.
…
The West residence.
Jackson was holding some snacks and playing with the dog, completely ignoring Atticus’ existence.
Atticus did not seem to mind this. He sat on the couch, reading a magazine.
Summer had cut some fruits and served it on the table, “Tiffie, have some fruits. Dinner will be ready soon. Why didn’t you come by yesterday?”
Feeling awkward, Tiffany said, “We woke up really early to get a medical checkup so we didn’t really have much rest. I took a nap in the afternoon and overslept. Jackson didn’t wake me up…”
Summer shot Jackson a look. She knew he had deliberately done that. However, she did not expose him. “It’s alright as long as you’re home now. You’ve been staying in White Water Bay, right? Jackson doesn’t like having strangers in the house so he has never hired a housekeeper. He simply gets a helper to clean his house two to three times a week. It was fine when he was living on his own, but there’s two of you now. Shouldn’t you hire a housekeeper? It would be easier that way.”
Tiffany felt that it was not necessary to hire a housekeeper so she quickly replied, “No need. There’s no need for that. We’re very busy at the office. There’s no need for us to have meals at home. A temporary helper is enough to keep the house clean. There’s no need for a housekeeper. We come home very late for dinner even when we’re not working overtime. It’s a small matter. Jackson and I can handle it. There’s no need to waste money on that. Housekeepers in the capital don’t come cheap.”
In a rare moment, Atticus chimed in, “There’s no need to worry about money. We just want your life to be easier. You’re living on your own after all. It’s not like we’re lacking this small amount of cash.”
