The intention behind her teasing words couldn’t be more obvious.
A look of irritation appeared in Mark’s eyes instead. He stood up and walked to the window. “You may leave now.”
Aery was taken aback but was unwilling to give up. “What? Mark dear… I rushed here last night and only met you today. Aww, how can you send me away so soon?”
“Don’t make me say it twice.” He didn’t look at the woman on the bed. The irritation in his eyes gradually turned into anger.
Aery had no choice but to get up and leave.
She cursed under breath a thousand times when she thought of the text message that Mark had received. Although she didn’t know the content of the message, it was very obvious that it was the root cause. Which stupid person ruined her great moment?!
The next day at noon, Mark invited Charles Moran to have lunch at the same restaurant they dined in previously.
When Charles arrived and realized that Arianne was nowhere in sight, he asked Mark with a smile, “Where’s Arianne?”
Mark concealed his emotions very well behind his refreshing smile. “She went ahead and returned to the capital to attend to some matters. Uncle Moran, about the thing you mentioned yesterday… is it really true?”
Charles went slightly stiff while pouring his wine but quickly recovered. “What did I say again? I had too much to drink yesterday and don’t remember what I said…”
Mark looked at Charles then smiled. “It’s alright then, forget about it.”
Charles continued the conversation. “I have this problem of blabbering nonsense after drinking. Please don’t worry about it, and disregard whatever I said. By the way, I was initially thinking of matchmaking you with Nia. Who knew you would get married so suddenly.”
