Chapter6

Penulis: Sixth Month
A pair of arms surrounded her suddenly and pulled her back. Arianne could almost feel the dampness from his fresh shower and smelt the fragrance of body wash.

Her hands supported herself on his chest, unknowingly they were shaking.

The arms that were wrapped around her waist let go abruptly.

“Get lost.”

For some reason, his voice was a little raspy. Arianne had no idea how she had upset him again so she scurried off at once.

It was when she returned to the storeroom that she had regrets. She had forgotten to ask him about Will Sivan. Recalling what happened just now, however, the courage to seek him again slipped away from her.

When morning came the next day, Mary came into the storeroom with a glass of water.

“C’mon, Ari. Here’s some cold medicine.”

Arianne Wynn was puzzled. Mary did not know she caught a cold. Furthermore, how would Mary dare give her medication without Mark Tremont’s permission?

As if dismissing Arianne’s doubt, Mary sat down on the edge of her bed with a smile.

“Sir has gone on a business trip and will only be back in about a month. This was his instructions before he left. Here you go.”

Arianne could not point a finger to the feeling in her heart, but she felt inexplicably lighter hearing that he would temporarily not be around.

After taking the medication, Arianne briskly made her bed and went to school.

When she entered the studio, the dean personally came to pass her all the materials she had lacked.

“Miss Wynn, check if there’s anything else you’re missing.”

Arianne was taken aback. “No… nothing is missing. This is…?”

The dean did not explain, merely saying, “That’s good then.”

As the dean left, Arianne was lost in her thoughts, staring at the items she had received. Mark Tremont was surely not the source, since he would not have the time nor the effort to be concerned about her situation at school.

“Ari, I’ve heard that someone’s sponsored you anonymously. I didn’t expect the administration to work so quickly. Your paints are all better than mine!”

Tiffany Lane rummaged through the materials that the dean had sent over once she was here.

Arianne kept quiet as she arranged her new belongings.

“Hey, who was the one that picked you up yesterday? Crazy driving, almost killed you there.”

Tiffany was a chatterbox, always spouting new topics whether Arianne replied to her or not.

“That’s my brother,” Arianne answered.

There was a slight pause from Tiffany.

“What sort of brother is he? He’s so rich yet here you are being groomed into a slum girl. Let me meet him next time.”

Arianne smiled. “Don’t criticize him. He’s actually very nice. He’s not my biological brother, so it isn’t his obligation to take care of me. He’s done more than his part.”

That was what she told herself too. She was a sinner, but Mark Tremont had given her shelter and taken care of her for ten years.

Tiffany pouted before beginning to guess the mystery sponsor in excitement.

“Who do you think is funding you? Will Sivan’s dad has kicked him out of the country and he won’t be coming back until a few years. Do you think it’s him? Someone has sponsored you right after his departure. Otherwise, it just doesn’t make sense.”

Stunned, Arianne found it more convincing that the sponsor was Will than Mark Tremont.

Thinking about the man who was like a gentle ray of sunshine, she felt her heart clench. Will Sivan’s departure was her fault…

During Mark Tremont’s absence, Arianne Wynn was a lot more relaxed. Tiffany had dragged her for a fun day out on her birthday, which was on the weekend. The former knew that she disliked crowds, thus she did not invite anyone else.

Before they went home, like a magic trick Tiffany produced two small gift boxes.

“These are presents from Will and I.”

Arianne did not accept them, she could not afford to return them anything of similar value. A look at the gift boxes was evident that the presents were costly. She was poor, that said she had seen enough during her years in the Tremont Estate to know.

“Thank you for spending the day with me. There’s no need for presents.”

Arianne breathed in deeply, it was the scent of the chilling breeze and snow.

Tiffany pushed the boxes into her hands.

“When I am nice to you I don’t expect anything in return, but Will is the opposite case… Stand up straight. I’m gonna complete what he’s asked me to do.”

Unable to figure out what she was about to do, Arianne straightened up obediently.

Tiffany looked at Arianne in all seriousness.

“Ari, I’m Will Sivan. I like you. Wait for my return. You’ve got to wait for me.”

    Mark walked closer toward her again, reached out, and pinched Aristotle’s ear. “I wanted to create a perfect and romantic atmosphere too, but your body was very honest. You refused to show any reaction at all, no matter how much I tried to entice you. What does that mean? It means that you weren’t in the mood for our date at all.”Arianne was indignant from his false accusation. “It’s because you had such a sullen face for the entire night. I panicked. How could I possibly have the mood for anything else? You made it look like I was actually in the wrong. You’re unreasonable and petty! I wasn’t sickened with you when I came back from seeing Aery, was I? So you’re upset, just because I accidentally ran into Will?”Aristotle pulled Mark’s hand away in protest, and Mark did not continue their conversation. “Come downstairs for breakfast when you’re done with feeding him. I’ll take you to the office later.”On the way to the office, Tiffany sent Arianne an ill-timed message: ‘How was la

    Arianne felt a kind of emptiness deep down. Their relationship may look like it’s going strong on the surface, but in reality, it was still fragile. Based on everything that had happened today, it was clear.She fell fast asleep before Mark emerged from the bathroom, probably because it was easier to fall asleep in the dark.After an unknown amount of time, she felt something move next to her. She opened her eyes, just a little bit, and found Mark looking through her phone. She pretended not to know, hoping that this would bring him some form of assurance. He was probably trying to confirm if she had saved Will’s contact details. Luckily, she hadn’t…Arianne woke up before sunrise the next day because she had gone to bed early. Mark was still fast asleep. She silently got up and took a shower. She longed for Aristotle. This was her first time spending the night away from home since Aristotle’s birth.She stepped out of the bathroom, absent-mindedly after her shower. She jumped with

    The woman stayed in her spot, holding the baby. She was feeling slightly humiliated but mostly helpless. She knew that she could never replace Arianne in Will’s heart in this lifetime, not even when she and Will had already had a baby. This was a tragic fact.Arianne let out a long sigh of relief after leaving the shopping mall. The cold winds refreshed her emotions. It was almost time, and Mark would be reaching soon.She sent him a message to tell him that she was at the shopping mall entrance. His car soon arrived on the street across the road from her. She opened the car door and got into the car. The warm air in the car cut off the chill from outside. She smoothed her hair, which had been messed up because of the wind. “Where are we going for dinner?”Mark didn’t reply, so she turned around and looked at him. “What’s wrong?”He stared at the rearview mirror with an expressionless face. “When did Will Sivan come back?”She was taken aback, then realized that Will was at a dist

    Arianne’s heart exploded from cuteness. She finally understood why Mark wanted a daughter. The joy of having a daughter was completely different from having a son.“Pumpkin, where did you go? Come back to daddy.”Arianne stiffened. She turned to the side and found Will Sivan’s astonished gaze. Everything had changed in time, but they still looked the same, save for a sense of maturity throughout the years.She jumped in fright when she heard his voice. She thought that his voice sounded more like a stranger’s. She never expected such a coincidence…“When… did you come back?” She got up and asked calmly after a short pause.Will took a deep breath, strode forward, and picked up the little girl. “I just arrived a few days ago. I’m here to visit relatives. I’m not staying long. What a coincidence… I never thought that I’d run into you here. Are you here to shop for baby things? I came back in a rush, so I couldn’t contact you or Tiffie…”Will knew that she had a baby, and she knew t

    Suddenly, Robin walked over. “Arianne, I’ve settled your sketches. Do you need me to come up with a sample this afternoon? Mr. Yaleman needs it in the afternoon, the day after tomorrow.”Arianne quickly turned off her phone and tucked her hair behind her ears awkwardly. “Uh… Sure. Thank you. You can start on the sample in the afternoon. This one’s a little complicated, so you’ll need some time. Do it early so you won’t have to do overtime.”Robin’s keen eyes spotted the ring on her finger. “Wow, Arianne, your ring is beautiful. The diamond is huge. It must have been expensive. I didn’t see you wearing it this morning. Your husband must have given it to you during lunch, right? Mr. Tremont is so romantic.”Arianne smiled. “Go on, go to the workshop, and start on the sample. You’ll have to support me.”She felt very uneasy the entire afternoon due to Mark’s message. Her mind would always wander off into strange territories. This was her first time going to a hotel with him, and she f

    Arianne was still perplexing over the origin of this ring when Mark pointed out, “I designed it myself a long time ago. Revamped a bit and had someone craft it for three months. I only decided to give it to you after I was satisfied enough.”His admission reminded Arianne—she had seen its design plan in his study when she was still a kid! This was why she felt as though she had seen it before!Back then, Arianne had imagined the ring to be something Mark had designed for his future wife. How would she have known that the same ring would one day fall on her hand?Fate was an enigmatic mistress. By her machination, Arianne’s life was bound to Mark’s for this lifetime.She closed the box carefully, clearly not intending to wear the ring right there and then. She was afraid of losing it during work.Mark was a little displeased with her action. In fact, his handsome face became stormy. “You’re not gonna wear it?”“Well, I don’t want to lose it…”“I can always hire someone to remake
