Mark adamantly grabbed her by her wrist. “You’re already a mother, yet you’re still so cowardly. It’s just a trip to the dentist, nothing else, so don’t try to run away. Are you as busy as I am? Even a busy person like me is willing to spend some time to accompany you to the dentist, yet you still dare to run away? Even after so many years, you haven’t changed a bit. You were always like that when you had to visit the doctors’ when you were young, but you’ve never been to the dentist before. What now? Do you even have a phobia towards that? Hurry up, it’s almost your turn. I’ve asked Brian to line up and get you a slot early this morning.”
The moment he said that, the nurse called out Arianne’s name.
Arianne surrendered to her fate and entered the dentist’s ward stubbornly. The dentist was a woman in her 30s. Although she was wearing a mask, she still had a gentle look on her face. Otherwise, Arianne would definitely have been so terrified that she would have run away on the spot.
However, no matter how gentle the dentist was, the pain was still the same when she held the equipment towards Arianne. Instead of the very obvious kind of pain, the displeasure and pain from getting one’s tooth fixed spread all the way to one’s bone marrow. After the treatment was over, Arianne was in a complete daze. “I swear, I never want to visit the dentist ever again…”
Mark could not help but laugh, although he felt heartbroken at the same time. “All right, it’s fine now. Your tooth will be better after a few days. Then, let’s go out and get something nice to eat, but no spicy food, since you’ve got to refrain from eating that for the next few days. Come on, let’s go to the office.”
It was already 11 AM by the time they arrived at the office and everyone was already at work. However, Mark did not go to his office directly. He brought Arianne to her desk instead and kept on nagging her not to eat anything she should not be eating at that time. The amount of his nagging and fussiness befuddled everyone who saw the scene. Arianne had been nagged so much that she began to get irritated. “Are you done? I’m already an adult, so I know everything that you’ve said. You don’t have to repeat it anymore. If you keep on repeating yourself, we’re going to be off work and I still wouldn’t have done anything yet…”
Mark finally zipped his mouth. “Alright… I’ll stop if you think I’m nagging too much. After work, let’s go to White Water Bay Cafe for dinner. Jackson and Tiffany will be there as well.”
Arianne was still feeling slightly uncomfortable because of her mouth and did not want to speak, so she waved her hand to send him away.
Mark walked away reluctantly and looked back every few steps. He was startled for a good moment before he completely disappeared from sight.
Sylvain, who had been bombarded by their lovely sight, could not help but ask, “Have the two of you remarried already?”
