Chapter 1710 Aiming High

Penulis: Lemon Flavored Cat
Mark followed Smore’s line of sight until the city view leaped into his eyes. Skyscrapers, always seeming so impressive back in the city, were now no more than tiny, unremarkable blocks.

“Stand at the top, and you’re at the vantage for viewing the furthest stretch of the world. Stand at somewhere flat, and everything looks tall and out of reach. If you want to see far into the world, then always strive for the top—always. You understand me?”

Of course Smore did not. The deeper meaning behind his words was completely lost on the kid, whose reply was, “Ohhh, so we’re gonna climb all the way up to the peak? Because the peak is the top!”

The corner of Mark’s lips twitched. Why the heck did he try to pass something only an adult would understand on to a kid who was not even three?

Arianne’s laugh escaped her. “Alright, Smore, Daddy’s worn-out now. Let him take a breather, okay? You know Daddy’s tired because he had to carry you all the way up here, right? It’s very tiring.”

    Arianne had not received a single call from Mark since then, even at the very next day. All she received at most was a midnight text telling her that he could not leave. She felt as though he stood her up.She went to work, and immediately spotted Sylvain languidly sipping his morning tea in the office. Immediately, she asked, “When is the wedding between you and Robin?”Hot tea choked Sylvain on cue, leaving him sputtering for a good while before finally regaining composure.“Gah? Right, our wedding. We’re… still in the middle of planning it. Yeah, stuff like this is always best taken slow, right? So we’re getting ready for everything. Plus, I’ve only got the time to work on that bridal gown design after work,” he fibbed. “I’ve decided to take up your brilliant suggestion and design it myself. Whew, it’s quite exhausting to do things yourself, though!”His reaction was a little off, but Arianne had no time to dwell on it. Instead, she took her seat and asked, “Have you seen Mark s

    The phone call got disconnected before Arianne could even say anything. ‘What the h*ll, Mark! Couldn’t you have informed me earlier that you were taking Smore along? You ended up just taking him away with you directly. However, that’s fine. If Smore’s under Mark’s watchful eyes, he’ll be back home earlier since Mark has never been the type of person to stay in a public area and be courteous to others with a smile. It’s too stressful for him.’When she arrived downstairs, Brian got out of the car to help her open the car door for her. He even lifted the hem of Arianne’s skirt.After she was properly seated in the car, she lifted her eyes and smiled at Brian. “Thank you.”Brian was startled for a moment before he quickly averted his gaze from Arianne’s face. “It’s part of my duty.”Arianne thought that Brian’s reaction was a little strange. “What’s the matter? Is my makeup not done properly?”Brian had a serious expression on his face as he said, “No, you look good. We’re going to d

    Although Tiffany’s belly was extremely big, it did not stop her from wearing a dress. In fact, it gave her a certain charm.‘Jackson’s here as well. It seems like the owner of this wedding banquet is quite something.’It was not until Arianne got onto the cruise that she realized that there were many renowned people onboard. Even Alejandro and Melane were there, along with other business tycoons within the industry.As she arrived at the lounge, Arianne spied Smore wolfing down food through the corner of her eyes. He was eating so much cake that his mouth was filled with cream. Before he left his house, he had even gotten changed into a suit with a black tie. Truthfully, he seemed to look a lot more like Mark at that moment.“Aristotle Tremont, why are you wolfing down your food without showing any courtesy?” Arianne walked up towards him and took out a piece of tissue to wipe Smore’s mouth.When she heard Arianne calling Smore’s full name, Mary, who was standing to the side, hurr

    Mark, on the other hand, was not worried at all. “He’s still going to be on the cruise no matter where he runs off to, so where could he possibly go? Plus, Mary’s looking after him, so don’t worry. Since he’s my son, he’s going to have to get used to this from a young age. He’ll have to walk around with me in the company when he’s 10 years old. Otherwise, how’s he going to take over my place? I don’t care how you raise him before he hits 10 years old—let him play around freely or whatever. But I’m in charge once he hits 10 years old. Thinking about it, he’s my only son, so how can I not raise him up right? However, I won’t exhaust him either.”Arianne shot him a glance. “If you think one son is too little, you could always have a few more with someone else. I won’t be able to bear you more children anyway.”Mark suddenly reached out his hand and pulled Arianne towards him. “Who said I was complaining? One is enough.”Arianne hurriedly struggled to wring free. “Stop messing around! T

    “Why are you spacing out there?! Hurry up and say yes, Ari!”Tiffany was shouting by the side, obviously excited.Arianne regained her senses when she heard Tiffany screaming. She thought that it was all unbelievable. She wanted to ask what was going on, but it did not seem like the right time to talk about anything else given the circumstances. Hence, she slowly raised her hand under everyone’s watchful eyes. “Y-yes…”Arianne still thought that she was dreaming, right up till the point where the ring was placed around her ring finger. ‘Is this the “big thing” that Mark has been busy with?’ Arianne was so agitated that her hands were slightly trembling…Arianne’s eyes suddenly began to tear up and swell. ‘He really did keep his promise and give me the best. He’s announced to everyone that I’m his woman.’As fireworks began to be released above the cruise, the music became merrier. Mark got up and kissed Arianne on the lips. “From now on, you’re mine. No, you’ve always been mine. T

    Arianne could not help but be proud whenever she thought of Smore. ‘I never expected Smore to be the one to present the ring. The little boy was even angry at me a while ago.’Tiffany did not slack off, despite being pregnant. She moved around sloppily when she heard the fireworks still being set off. “I want to have a look at the fireworks. Would you all like to join me? I heard from Jackson that the final moments before the fireworks end are the best, and it’s going to be coming soon.”Arianne shook her head. “My legs are a little sore from standing too long, so I’m going to rest for a while. Cut me some slack please. I’ve still got to go out and entertain the crowd later on. If I knew I was the main character earlier, I would’ve been more prepared mentally… You go ahead with Melanie.”Tiffany grabbed Melanie’s hand as she eagerly rushed out. When Arianne saw that there was no one around her, she took off her high heels. Her toes had begun to turn red from standing up for too long

    It took Melanie a moment before she remembered that Tiffany was with her. She hurriedly introduced them. “Bro, this is Tiffany. You should probably know her, since she’s a good friend of mine.”Nikolai squinted his eyes slightly as he sized up Tiffany for a moment. Then, he said with a casual expression, “Hello, my name is Nikolai.”Tiffany waved her hand. “Hey Nikolai, we’re all friends here, so there’s no need to be so formal.”The stairs were definitely not a good place to have a chat, so Melanie said, “Bro, why don’t we find somewhere to sit and chat? I haven’t been home for a very long time now, so I neither know how things are back at home, nor have I been in contact with Mom and Dad.”Nikolai nodded his head, but his gaze was still fixated on Tiffany. Tiffany was already standing below the pair and it was narrow on the stairs, so she definitely needed to turn around and walk down first. Suddenly, Nikolai pushed her from behind. Since she was heavier due to her pregnancy, t

    ‘The people who have attended tonight’s event are all businessmen, so how could there be a doctor present?’ When Melanie realized this, she borrowed a phone from one of the bystanders to call Arianne. ‘We need to get the cruise back to the coast now and send Tiffany to the hospital. Otherwise, her life is definitely going to be in danger!’When they received the news, Arianne and Mark swiftly rushed to the scene. When they saw how bad of a condition Tiffany was in, Arianne’s face instantly turned pale. “Tiffany!”Mark was still calm at that moment. “Turn the ship back now!”Soon, Jackson and Alejandro arrived on the scene as well. Jackson almost lost his footing the moment he saw Tiffany. “W… What happened? How did this happen?! What’s going on here?!”Alejandro’s first reaction was to rush towards Tiffany’s side. He gently slapped Tiffany’s cheeks as he growled with an urgent tone, “Can you hear me?! You have to stay awake, or the baby in your womb won’t make it!”Melanie, who wa

    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
