Mark stared at her with a half smile on his face. “Would you like me to take a vaccine too?”
The corners of her lips twitched. “Are you really going to treat me like a cat? You’re the one that scared me first! Who told you to drink and fly into a drunken rage?”
He looked completely innocent. “When did I go into a drunken rage? I was showing my displeasure. I’ve mentioned it to you before, but you didn’t care about the problem! How could I possibly get drunk with that amount of alcohol? I’ve already mentioned your constant neglect towards me, more than once.”
Arianne was immediately rendered speechless. It’s true, he had mentioned it, but she didn’t really pay much attention to it. He had always held a lofty and resolute presence in her eyes. He was loathed to receive anyone’s consoling and also loathed receiving value. He clearly looked down on everyone from the top of the world, but he actually needed her attention?
She sighed. “Fine, I won’t do it again. I never thought that you were that kind of a person.”
His sensitive nerves were pricked. “What kind of a person? What kind of a person am I? Why does it sound like you’re scolding me?”
She giggled. “What are you thinking? What I mean is that you’ve always been lofty and beyond compare since I was eight. You were lonely and resolute. You didn’t need anyone and didn’t care about what anyone thought. Receiving anyone’s pity was beneath you, so you really didn’t need my concern. What made you suddenly think that I was neglecting you? It’s just unexpected…”
Furthermore, he was still keeping something from her. There was still some distance between them.
The next day, Mark collected Tiffany, according to plan. Jackson went to collect the DNA report.
Jackson wasn’t sure of what he was feeling when he saw the results. Alejandro and Mark were not related by blood. That also meant that Alejandro wasn’t Ethan. Despite his relief, he was still apprehensive about Alejandro’s sudden appearance in getting close to Tiffany, especially when Alejandro was willing to give up his life for Tiffany. This made him very uneasy. Furthermore, there was still what Tanya had said… Three years, Alejandro had loved Tiffany for three years. It seemed far too suspicious.
