Arianne was in the dining room downstairs, slightly hesitating as she looked for Helen’s number. She could not help the emotions that stirred in her when she heard Mark said Helen had asked about her. She felt family love when she was reunited with her grandma. Perhaps, that was the reason she was not as averse to Helen compared to before. In the end, she sent a message to Helen, wishing Helen a happy New Year’s Eve.
...
Helen was in a great mood after she received Arianne’s message. After replying to Arianne’s message, she returned to what she was doing before. At this moment, she was helping Aery pack her things. Aery would be going abroad today. Everything had been arranged and dealt with.
Before they left the house, Aery was still protesting. “Mom… Is it true that I’m not allowed to return home until I’ve graduated? Since I’ve agreed to leave, why won’t you allow me to meet Mark darling? Why don’t you visit Arianne? I’ll just look at Mark darling from afar. Is that okay?”
Helen’s expression worsened. “We’ve discussed this. It’s impossible. I won’t visit Arianne for this reason. It’s impossible for you to meet Mark.” She knew that she needed to be determined. Arianne was now pregnant. She must not let Aery approach Arianne even if pigs could fly.
Aery bit her lips. “Fine… I’ll study hard when I’m abroad. I’ll try to gain your approval. I’ll… gain Arianne’s forgiveness as well. After all, we’re family. It’s an indisputable fact that she’s my sister. Although I dislike her, I don’t want to lose you.”
That was the first time Aery had said such words to Helen. For that reason, Helen’s attitude softened as well. “It’s good that you’re sensible now. Arianne is pregnant. You better stay far away from her. After she gives birth to her baby, I’ll consider letting you come home to visit them. You can treat her as your sister, but she might not do the same. Moreover, Mark can only be your brother-in-law. Don’t think about other things. If you listen to me, you’ll live an enjoyable life from now on. I can guarantee that.”
Aery smiled and remained quiet. She would never be able to gain the things she wanted in her life. Her life was ruined long ago from all kinds of pain. How could she still enjoy her life? She was only obedient now so she could meet Mark again even if he would only remain as her brother-in-law.
