Chapter 1486 The Elopement: Parents’ Discovery Edition

Arianne was speechless. Arianne helped cover Aristotle’s tracks by disposing of the shirt before Mark was finished with work so Mark would not yell at him when he saw it. Mark was already in a bad mood after his documents were destroyed, it would not take much for him to lose his temper. Mark had a lot of clothes so he probably would not notice. It was soon proven that Arianne had been too optimistic. Aristotle had access to the shirt he had doodled on because Mark had laid it on the bed beforehand because he was planning to wear it tomorrow. As soon as Mark returned to the room, the first thing he asked was about his shirt. “Where’s my shirt? I plan to wear it tomorrow.” Arianne wanted to insist that she had not seen it but chickened out in the end. She mustered up her courage and said, “Smore doodled all over it. We couldn’t get the stains out so we threw it away. He’s your son, don’t be angry. You have money, we can always get a new one.” Mark rubbed his brows. “I… honestly give up. Smore is asleep now, isn’t he? I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed. Find a suitable shirt for me. I have a wedding to attend tomorrow. You don’t have to go, I have to go back to the office in the afternoon.” Arianne did not like those kinds of events anyway so she was fine. However, she, naturally, would not allow him to bring another woman. “I won’t go. But... no one else is tagging along with you, right?” Mark did not know if he should laugh or cry. He reached out and tapped her nose. His eyes were brimming with indulgence. “What are you thinking? Since you’re not going, who else am I gonna take with me? I’m going alone. I’m going to go to bed now.” ... Meanwhile, on the other side of the city. It was late at night when Sylvain dropped Robin off on the ground floor of her condominium. He asked uneasily, “You really don’t want me to come with you?” The thought of revealing the marriage to her mother filled Robin with turmoil. She was terrified but bringing Sylvain along would only make the situation even worse. She replied, trying to relax, “No need, really. My mom won’t eat me alive. You can go home now. Drive safe.” Sylvain planted a kiss on her forehead before he reluctantly left. “Okay. Call me if you need anything. Update me on everything that happens, I’d worry less that way.” Robin nodded. She watched as Sylvain’s car disappeared into the night. She heaved a sigh of relief before she went home. She had just arrived at the door and taken out her keys when the door swung open, revealing Mrs. Cox’s sullen face, staring down at her. “Where have you been? Your curfew is 11 PM. Look at the time! I saw it from upstairs, Sylvain sent you home. Are you really that determined to be with him for the rest of your life? You’re still young, you only see things from one perspective…” Robin pulled out her marriage certificate before Mrs. Cox could finish speaking. “We’ve registered our marriage. It doesn’t matter what you say, it’s no use.” Mrs. Cox stared at the white piece of paper. Her eyes widened. The expression on her face gradually morphed from shock to rage. “Robin Cox! Are you seeking death? I didn’t give you my blessing. How can you do this to me?”
