Semua Bab A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Bab 1021 - Bab 1030

Tiffany patted him on the leg, mimicking one of his habits. “Go ahead.”He felt slightly depressed. In this state, he looked a lot like a boy toy…The next morning, Arianne brought Aristotle and Mark out of the house. It was time for Aristotle’s injection. The weather had grown unstable lately, and it was easy to catch a cold. It drizzled last night. She had given Aristotle an extra layer in the form of a long-sleeved shirt, covering his fair and tender arms and legs altogether. He looked even plumper, like a round ball, even cuter.After getting into the car, Mark checked the time on his watch then said to Brian, who was in the driver’s seat, “Take them to the hospital first. You go with them. I’ll drive to the office. Tell Henry to pick them up when they’re done.”Arianne frowned. “Do you have something urgent? Aren’t you coming to the hospital with us?”He nodded. “Mm. I have a meeting.”She couldn’t help feeling disappointed. He used to do his best to be a part of everything

Arianne nodded. “Okay.” Even though she did not show it, she was still feeling a little frustrated. Her life may seem peaceful, but it was too peaceful, like stagnant water, lifeless. Mark had no parents, relatives, or siblings. Jackson and Eric mean a lot to him. The trauma of losing Eric would probably be with him for a long while.Honestly, she wasn’t happy. She was upset at him for neglecting her and the baby during his sorrow. She and Aristotle were important to him too, and they were his closest relatives, now and forever.Once the storm had passed, the weather in the capital grew chilly. They were entering autumn.Aristotle was beginning to learn to sit down on his own, albeit in a wobbly manner. He would lose balance from time to time and topple over, but he still loved sitting back down and playing on his own. He could now fiddle with his favorite toys too.Arianne was now free to get away. She brought her job hunt earlier than scheduled. She did not intend on joining Mark

An unknown period of time went by. The moon hid behind the clouds, and the noise in the house finally subsided. They hugged each other and fell into a deep sleep. That night, they no longer had the third wheel, Smore, with them. The next morning, Arianne left for work in a hurry before Mark left the house. It was the first day of work, and she was in a great mood. She certainly could not be late. Smore was held by Mary, who stood at the door as she left. Smore seemed to be unable to part with his mother. He even waved his little hands in the direction where Arianne left. Further, his eyes were teary too. Seeing him like that, Mark smiled in dissatisfaction. He then said, “You’re quite big now. How are you still unable to part with your mom? Aren’t you feeling ashamed of yourself? Your mom wants to go out there and make a name for herself. Even if I’m unable to part with her, I didn’t dare to do anything. How could you make her stay? If you cry anymore, your mom won’t even want you

Tiffany was filled with jealousy. “I’m still only getting a monthly salary. Your yearly income is already $100,000. You’re indeed excellent! You need to treat me then.” Arianne could not help but sneer at her. “That’s enough. Jackson’s money still belongs to you every month, doesn’t it? What’s there to be dissatisfied about? The little money you earn isn’t even enough for your cosmetics. Don’t act smug here. Do you feel any fetal movements yet? You should, given how long you’ve been pregnant.” Tiffany pursed her lips. “No. Maybe he’s too lazy to move. After all, the pregnancy check up shows that everything is fine. So, I don’t have to bother about it. Maybe the skin of my stomach is just so thick that I can’t feel any fetal movement. By the way, Tanya should be pregnant for a few months now too. I don’t know how she’s been doing recently.” Talking about Tanya, it became awkward. They did not hate Tanya deeply. But now, it could not go back to how it used to be. They could only ce

Tiffany made no mention of anything she assumed Alejandro had not told Melanie about, for she felt that his reservation was likely due to personal reasons. Hence, she could not betray his secret against his consent. “Uh, yeah. It’s a pity. I mean, he’s a good guy with pretty handsome features whose only flaw is, well, his disability. It’s alright, though, I mean—you agreed to marry him, so I know you don’t mind it.”Melanie felt a little more confident. “No, of course not. I love him,” she replied. “Anyway, I shouldn’t keep both of you any longer. I’ll be off.”It was then that Jackson came out of the kitchen with glasses of fresh orange juice in his hands. Melanie eyed the juice and added implicatively, “Oh, I guess I’ll have to skip the juice. You can enjoy mine, Miss Lane. It’s your favorite drink, isn’t it?”Before Tiffany could ask Melanie about how she knew that, the woman was already gone. So, instead, she took the juice from Jackson’s hand and drained half of the glass in on
