Although Arianne disliked using perfume, a woman can’t go without having a bottle of perfume with her, even if she doesn’t use it.
Mark choked on the strong scent from the perfume, which he did not like at all, but it beat having to be punched by Arianne if he were to hug her.
As they were on the way to the neighbourhood after finishing their lunch, Arianne asked one last time, “Are you sure that there’s nothing going on between you and Saoirse? Nothing will ever happen even in the future? Will you really not be threatened by Shelly into getting together with another woman?”
Mark raised one hand in the air. “I swear by it. Are you happy now? There really isn’t anything between us. I will never get together with another woman either.”
Mark was the one driving today, so when Arianne saw that he only had one hand on the steering wheel, she immediately said, “Both hands!”
Mark glanced at her with a confused expression. “Wouldn’t it be dangerous to have both hands raised? Then let’s wait until we arrive before I do it.”
Mark boldly shoved himself against Arianne’s body. “It’s just the two of us now, and it would be a waste not to make use of the opportunity. Don’t you miss me at all…?”
Arianne was bewildered by Mark’s intimate gaze, but she still stopped him from approaching her. “No, we shouldn’t be doing this when we’re already divorced. It wouldn’t be good if someone were to hear about it, so behave yourself. Frankly speaking, I’m currently feeling very insecure. I wasn’t able to realize it before, but it felt like we were already divorced when it first happened. However, as time passes, I’ve gradually come to accept that our relationship isn’t as it used to be. Furthermore, someone might come about in our lives at any moment. There’s even a possibility that we’ll go our separate ways when we meet someone more compatible. Honestly, aside from having Smore to link us together, I don’t know where we even stand. What else is there between us?”
Mark was in no mood to think of anything else at that moment. “Where are you wandering off to with your thoughts again? In my eyes, you’re still my woman, and I will never lay eyes on another woman in the future. Moreover, if you dare look for another man, I will have my own method of dealing with you. Our current status of being divorced is only temporary, so now that we’ve finally met again, are you really not going to let me do it with you?”
