Chapter 1594 A Plate Of Woes To Go With Your Booze

Author: Lemon Flavored Cat
Mark wanted nothing more than a partner to drink his woes away. Even when he was drunk, he was tightlipped and aired nothing about his real birth circumstances.

If he could not even bring himself to tell Jackson, his best friend, then how could he ever tell Arianne?

Jackson had to lumber a very wasted, clambering Mark out of the bar while the nipping gale slapped his entire body. “The hell, Mark Tremont? Anyone seeing your sorry a** right now would suspect you’re at the verge of divorce, man!” he grumbled. “Who would drink like a man possessed if there’s nothing eating them inside? Or did you just lure me outta my house just to make me as miserable as you? I mean, it’s the best goddamned explanation I have now, man, since you ain’t saying anything other than forcing me to get as wasted as you are.”

No sooner had he finished his commentary than he espied Arianne standing next to Mark’s car. By the looks of it, she must have been waiting for a while, too. Her hair was a disheveled mes

    A smile shadowed Mark’s lips. He reached out and ruffled her hair. “Don’t worry, I’ve washed. Sorry for the troubles and for forcing you to put up with my stench the entire night,” he said. “I’m going to the Tower now, and you go back to sleep, okay? You can sleep until you’re all freshened up for work. I’ll discount it from being tardy.”Seeing his gentle smile dispelled the sleepy haze in Arianne’s head. How long had it been since he last smiled like this? A thick smog of gloom had been shrouding his mien for days that now, seeing him talking to her this early in the morning felt like a miracle.Arianne watched Mark going into their changing room before sitting up on her bed. She shook her still groggy head, suspecting herself to be dreaming.Mark came out of the room, changed, and saw Arianne sitting on the bed. “Oh no, did I wake you up?” he said gently. “You can go back to sleep. I’ll be going right away.”She shook her head again and spread her arms wide.For a moment, Mark

    Mark could feel his head throbbing as he crossed to his desk and opened his lunchbox. “Look, it wasn’t satisfying, okay? She got me something I didn’t really like. But this one—the one you brought me? Mm, just what I like. You’ve had your breakfast, right?” he said. “Anyway, you should go back to work. I need to head out after this breakfast.”Arianne sighed. “If she weren’t your aunt, I would have thought I’m battling a new love rival or something,” she remarked. “She knows you like the back of her hand. Heck, she’s even more attentive to your every microscopic need that I am.”Mark grimaced. “That’s just ridiculous, no?”Arianne let out the mother of all snorts before turning on her heels and starting toward the door.Mark waited. When he was sure she had gone far outside his office, he called out to Davy instantly. “You told her, didn’t you? Damn it, are you dimwitted or what?” he grumbled. “I can’t believe that even after all this time of being my personal assistant, you still

    After dinner, Arianne and Mark watched Alejandro and Melanie leave. She entwined her arms with his before commenting, “You know, Alejandro’s pretty forgiving, isn’t he? If he’s really the sort to hold grudges, it wouldn’t have been remotely as easy to put this case behind us.”Mark, however, still could not bring himself to say anything nice about Alejandro. “Hmph. His misfortune is none of my fault. Unlike Jackson’s case with Seaton, his is several leagues more embarrassing. For the record, he lost to my aunt, who doesn’t even know any martial arts,” he sneered.A rather harsh remark to make, but Arianne had to admit that it was not wrong. Alejandro had gibed and mocked Jackson despite his plight back then, only to have his bum served by a woman a few months later. Could there be any stronger proof that karma exists?While the two were in the car, Arianne asked half-jokingly, “You like daughters better, don’t you?”“No. Sons are good,” Mark denied.Arianne was not buying it. “The

    Mark’s hesitation amounted to a total count of one second before he took up Arianne’s suggestion and left her beside the road.Honestly, that bummed Arianne. Not that she had another choice. She was more worried about whatever it was Shelly must have started yet again.Mark practically rushed into the hospital, but he only found Shelly sitting up on her bed, having her dinner, a slapdash takeout that was neither sumptuous nor nutritious.He breathed a long sigh of relief. “Where did you run to?”Shelly looked at him innocently. “Nowhere. What’s wrong? You came here without a notice. By the way, the doctor said I’ll be discharged tomorrow, but I wouldn’t be able to complete those dreadful discharge documents with my leg like this. Sorry, Mark dear, but I might need you to come over tomorrow and help me one last time. After that, I’ll never inconvenience you again.”Mark could not care less if she was lying, or where she could have gone. All there was in his mind was a remark on how

    Mark furrowed his eyebrows so slightly that it was nigh undetectable. “I'm going to shower.”By the time he had gone into the bathroom, Arianne finally realized the gaffe she made; there had been an element of insinuation. But of course, aside from Mark, Shelly had no relatives to care for her. Besides, it might even be a bad look for Mark if he cared too little about the only surviving relative he had.Even if he “cared” a little too much that it chaffed Arianne, her disgruntlement would only distress Mark. In truth, she had no other choice but to silently bear their current arrangement.The very next day, Mark left for the hospital early in the morning. Arianne had to hail an uber to work.Sylvain, ostensibly due to an urgent matter, was searching frantically for Mark. When he found him absent in his office, he turned to Arianne and asked, “Hey, where’s Mr. Tremont? It’s a bit too early for the Big Boss to not be here, isn’t it? Come to think of it, I haven’t seen him around that

    As soon as Mark ended the call, Shelly asked casually, “Was that Arianne? What’s the matter?”He helped her into the car. “It was nothing. Listen, I’m going to send you home, and then I have to leave for somewhere else. I have things to attend to.”Shelly’s lips thinned in silence. She had heard him carefully enough—it had something to do with the company’s finances. More importantly, Mark displayed a dangerous amount of faith in Arianne, effectively making her the Treasury Secretary of the company.It broke open a spring of ire. The way Shelly saw it, Arianne was just a random orphan girl who was lucky enough to be raised by Mark. The only trait of worth this girl had was a degree of physical attractiveness enough to bewitch poor, hapless Mark… and nothing else! How could so much power over Tremont Enterprise even fall into the hands of a vixen like that?They reached Shelly’s condominium, and almost instantly after Mark left, Shelly sat on the couch and called Arianne.“Hello, A

    Arianne clenched her teeth before unclenching them. “Giddy?! Would you have been giddy if it was your father?” she bristled coldly. “News flash, before his untimely death, the Wynns were no less of a family with high standing, too. What proof do you even have to claim that I was ever after the Tremonts’ wealth?!”Hearing the lividity in Arianne’s voice, Shelly’s lips quivered into a pleased smirk. “Aww, you mad? And here I thought that after clinging to Mark for so long, his nature would have rubbed on you a little. You know, not wearing your heart on your sleeve like him? But who knew you’d break oh-so-easily?” she jeered. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but right now, there are only two people in this room—you and me. One of the murderers who killed your father is sitting right before you. So, what are you going to do? You know you can do whatever you please… There’s no one to stop you.”At the height of her rage, Arianne turned around to face Shelly and smiled. “Oh, what’s this?

    It was Shelly who insisted on pushing Arianne’s button over and over. Back then, Arianne would have sucked it all up and forgiven her no matter how much drama the woman caused. Because she was the aunt of the man Arianne loved.But that had changed following this new light. Arianne might not act on vengeance, but it did not mean that she could continue to treat the murderer with the same amiability as before.She returned to the office with all traces of her emotional upheaval tucked away and assumed an affectation of neutrality. The only thing different to her was that she now paid exacting attention to Mark’s movement.She had declared to Shelly that she would not let Mark step into the latter’s place ever again, and she was damn sure she would deliver that promise.The day wound down to the evening. Before work ended, Arianne strode into Mark’s office. “It’s almost time to go home, Mark. Let’s go together,” she said.Mark hesitated. “Er, I have somewhere else to be after work.

    Arianne had not heard that name for so long, she had to reel back in bemusement for a few seconds before finally remembering her face.Shelly-Ann Leigh… She must have spent all those years in the mental institution, right? God knows if the woman’s hair was now grey and white all over.When someone was near death, one could stand to forgive all of the history between them—even the dark ones, even if the ledger was brimming—for good. So, Arianne replied, “I’ll go with you. No matter what happened, she’s still your mother.”Mark did not expect that answer from her at all. In his surprise, he bent down and left a kiss on her lips. “I knew I picked the right woman as my wife. I thought you wouldn’t agree to let me accompany her for the last of her days…”Arianne replied nothing. She was not so obtuse that she would try to win over a woman whose days were numbered. No matter how much of an a**hole Shelly was, Arianne was still the one who came out on top. That victory was all she needed.

    Arianne sneered. “You confused, little thing. I wouldn’t be daft enough to anger the mother of the man I like if I were you, girl. I would especially not say anything as low IQ as that, too. Let me be completely frank with you: no one who bears the surname of Leigh will ever get the better of me—the last one failed. Hard. I can guarantee that you’ll leave us in the span of three days. If I lose, you can stay here forever. Wanna bet? I dare you.”She left her threat hanging at that and turned her wheelchair away, leaving the scorned young woman behind.Rage came out of Raven as waves of quakes all over her body. She was lurching close to hyperventilation, but right before it became impossible to stop, she came around and battled herself to calm down. She had a feeling that even if she fainted right there and then, no one would discover her, would they?Now that Arianne and Mark had returned, the Tremont Estate had recovered its vivacity and life. It had become merry.And Raven Leigh

    Melissa was the type who always pushed things to go as festive as logically possible. She leaped to her feet and raised her cup, “Yo, everyone! Let’s toast to Cindy becoming my cousin-in-law!”The crowd answered enthusiastically with their cups in the air and a roar—except Raven, who remained seated. “I have a sickly constitution. I can’t drink. I’m sorry.”Her smile was so mechanical, her face too ashen. Something flickered in Arianne’s eyes before she replied, “Sure.”After the revelry faded, Arianne steered her wheelchair to the courtyard. The outward appearance of the Tremont Estate seemed to have frozen in time, which was why being here made her feel so… safe.Of course, that was despite Henry and Mary’s passing. In the end, time passed and things changed, characters and objects came and went, and all these missing years left lingering regrets in their wake.Arianne espied the silhouette standing alone at a distance and approached her, sighing, “Nothing beats being home.”Ra

    Arianne grabbed the two beauties by the hands and smiled. “Thank you! Gosh, to me… it’s like you two have grown older in the blink of an eye! How gorgeous the two of you are! Cindy, where’s your brother? Plato hasn’t come home yet?”Mentioning the name of her dear brother made Cynthia pout. “He said he was coming home half a month ago—that’s what he said. Who knows what he’s actually doing, though? Anyway, who cares about that no-good. He’s always like this anyway. Oh, um, the weather is quite hot. We should probably get inside.”Arianne nodded and shot a brief, uneasy look at Aristotle. Not once did he look like he wanted to talk to her… Could the boy be counting his grievances in his mind? Mark and Arianne had stayed in Switzerland for so long; life must have been hard for him all alone.It took until she reached the living room to finally notice Raven. “Millie, is this your younger sister?”Melissa quickly sprung to correct her. “What? Noooo. This is Ares’ classmate or something

    Aristotle’s entire being stilled.He had waited for this news for nineteen years. As time passed, the flames died little by little, the heart grew more numb, until the very thought of it was no different from a pipe dream. But today, news of it coming true reached him and plunged him into a torrent of feelings.A long while later, he finally muttered under his breath, “When… When will they be back?”Jackson closed the distance between them and gave the young man a light, comforting pat on the shoulders. “Not so soon, I bet; not when your mother has just woken up and is in need of some time to recover. She did sleep for nineteen years, you know. So maybe after she’s recuperated enough for a while…” he answered. “We’ve waited for nineteen years for this, right? What’s waiting for just a little bit more compared to that? The most important thing for you to do is to manage the company to the best of your abilities. That’s the way to not disappoint your father’s expectation.”Aristotle

    Cynthia had never had a relationship before, so she did not know what love was. However, one thing was for certain. She loved the feeling of being with Aristotle and how he had protected her since they were kids. Even though Aristotle had become a little domineering and “naughty”, she was not taken aback by him. Instead, she even felt a little moved, which was amazing.It wasn’t known how they ended up in bed, with their breaths synchronized. Apart from the final step, they had done just about everything else that could be done.Just as they were about to hit the final step, Aristotle suddenly stopped and helped pull the covers over Cynthia. “Let’s sleep, good night.”Cynthia was still lost in a daze from before. She did not know why Aristotle had suddenly stopped, nor did she have the courage to ask him. She had struggled for so long before having persuaded herself to go with the flow…The next day, when Cynthia woke up, Aristotle had already long gone to his company.She took a

    Cynthia heard what Aristotle said, but her hands did not stop doing what they were doing. Her head was in a complete mess. “There’s no… no need. I’ll be able to be done with these now. Go ahead and get some sleep first. By the way, where am I sleeping tonight? There are so many rooms here, I’ll ask Agnes to help me clear one up.”Aristotle walked up to her and squatted. He grabbed onto her arm with one hand while the other closed the luggage. “Just sleep with me here and stop tidying already.”Cynthia suspected that she might have misheard. She took a look at the big bed behind him in a daze and suddenly felt her palm, which was held by him, burning up. “Y… You’re kidding, aren’t you, Ares? Although we used to sleep with each other a lot when we were kids, we’re all grown ups now, so wouldn’t that be a little inappropriate?”Aristotle said with a straight face, “I wasn't joking.”Cynthia panicked a little and recalled Melissa’s words once again. ‘Would Ares, whom I’ve known for so

    Melissa knew that Aristotle had kissed Cynthia, so she knew what was going on. Hence, she very naturally boasted, “Of course, they’ve been engaged to each other since they were born. Coincidentally, the both of them felt the same way about each other as they grew up, so wouldn’t this make it even better? From the way I see it, your illness isn’t going to recover for the rest of your life and the both of them are probably going to have to wait until Cindy graduates before they get married. So, you’d be better off moving back to France as early as possible. Don’t worry, you’ve saved Aristotle’s life before, so he wouldn’t be stingy with you financially.”Raven wanted to control the unhappiness she had in her heart very much, but her emotions refused to follow her will. Hence, she fiercely struggled to wring free from Melissa’s grasp. Melissa was startled for a moment. “Are you crazy?”After that, Raven regained her senses and took a deep breath. “I’m sorry… I was a little unwell just n

    ‘You’re not that worried?’ Melissa was so furious that she laughed. “Am I the only one who’s being worried for nothing? I thought you loved my brother, didn’t you? The man you’ve been dreaming of every day has returned from France but brought a woman with him, yet you’re actually not that worried? Let’s put aside your parents’ intentions for a moment. Do you dare to say that you don’t love him? I’m only helping you because you’re my best friend, so could you not be so relaxed, as if I’m helping you for no reason?”Cynthia shook her head and lowered her volume as she said, “He… might have confessed to me. We also… did that already. So, I think he doesn’t feel that way towards Raven. It’s purely because she saved his life once. I trust that Ares will be able to handle the situation properly.”Melissa’s eyes opened wide. “What? He’s only returned for a few days, yet the two of you have already had sex? That fast?! I never knew it, but you’ve really got it in you!”Cynthia’s face flushe
