Seeing that he really had gone to lie down on the bed, she relaxed. She was still shocked. She truly wasn’t used to leaving the door open during a shower. Although the bathroom door was quite transparent, it got fogged up and could conceal her figure in the shower. But now, with the door open, she felt awkward even if he wasn’t looking…
She closed the door just a little more when he wasn’t looking, leaving half a crack in the door.
Mark turned off the light once she had finished washing up and laid down. It was easier to fall asleep in the dark.
Arianne was in a strangely good mood and did not feel sleepy. It was likely because she had managed to eat something that she really craved after having zero appetite for a long time, and then having the refreshing shower. It was a cold winter’s day and the blanket was nice and warm. There was nothing more comfortable than this, throwing one’s worries to the back of their minds and enjoying some peace and quiet.
Suddenly, Mark reached out and hugged her, “I’m sorry.”
She stiffened. She thought that either he was seething and would be fine after going to sleep, or if he did open his mouth, it would be to pick a quarrel. To her surprise, it was an apology. She calmed herself and asked, “Why are you apologizing?”
She could feel his breath on her neck, “I’ve always thought that you and Will Sivan… did it.”
So that’s what he was thinking? He never believed her in the past. Did he believe her now, after Tiffany revealed in the hotpot restaurant washroom that nothing ever happened between her and Will?
