Semua Bab A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Bab 1091 - Bab 1100

Aery’s appearance had changed a lot. Her erstwhile garishly technicolor hair had been dyed to black. She wore no makeup, which made her look like a sweet, youthful ingenue. For a moment, she looked a little identical to Arianne with her modest outfit.“Hey now, Ari, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not here looking for trouble,” she stated. “I’m only here because… Well, Mom’s sick. She didn’t want me to let you know about it, but I thought you’d probably liked to know and visit her sometime, so I came here. I can’t take too many breaks to care for her all the time, especially since I’m gonna go back to studying overseas after a few days. Sorry to trouble you, Ari, but you might have to take care of Mom for a bit.”Arianne frowned. Since when had Aery become so… prim and proper? She called her “Ari” and Helen, “Mom”. The difference between her present and past was so jarring, Arianne wondered if the woman standing before her was someone else wearing her skin.“Don’t call me Ari. I can’t s

Arianne had automatically treated Mark as someone worthy of sharing her joy and troubles, just as a typical human was wont to do. People would always leave very little of themselves secret from their close ones.Mark looked at her, serious. “What happened?”She flashed him a forced smile. “She’s sick, but it didn’t look too serious. She had just undergone some small-scale surgery, which is why she hadn’t been able to visit Smore and me. And then she told me she’s gonna leave this city with Aery before Jean’s release. She wants to make sure that Jean won’t be able to find them. I guess I agree with her decision? I just don’t get why she had to keep nagging about how remorseful she feels for abandoning me again or something. As if I care!”Mark ruffled her hair. “It’s alright, Ari. Everyone walks a path made only for them. She might not stay in this city, but that doesn’t mean you two won’t be able to contact one another in the future! It’s all parts and parcels of human lives, I’m af

“It’s not like that. I did overtime until 11:00 p.m. last night to finish this. I really did do it nicely. I put it on the mannequin, checked everything, and made sure that it was fine before I left,” the intern replied, choking with sobs. “Someone took the mannequin and used it this morning. The sample was taken down and reduced to this. I really don’t know what happened!”None of the staff members who had crowded around to watch dared to speak. Arianne looked at the intern. Her intuition told her that she wasn’t lying, which meant that someone had pulled a cruel prank. She reached out and patted the intern on the shoulder. “It’s fine, It’s not your fault. I left in a hurry yesterday, so it’s my fault. Mr. Yaleman, maybe we should let this go. I still need some help with this sample. I’ve hurt my finger.”Mr. Yaleman shot the intern with a fierce glare when he heard this. “You’re lucky. You’d better get your shit right for Arianne. Make one more mistake, and you’re gone!”Arianne w

Helen nodded, expressing the gravity of the situation. “I used to think… that you were only being courteous. So… I avoided bothering you too much. My little sickness isn’t much of a problem. You don’t have to visit me so often. I’ll visit you in the next few days and see how much Smore has grown.”So that explained it. Helen believed that she was simply being courteous to her. That’s why she had avoided visiting her so often. Arianne now understood. “I don’t like indulging in courtesy, and I dislike hypocrisy. You should rest. I’ll be on my way now.”Helen escorted her to the door, personally. “Be careful.”The gentleness on Helen’s face remained as she watched her leave. Years of hurt and pain were finally over.Aery suddenly strode forward. “Mom, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow. Could we have a meal with Arianne and my brother-in-law? I haven’t met my nephew yet…”Helen’s expression immediately turned cold. “There’s no need for that. The very thought of your brother-in-law be

Arianne was stunned. So it was alright for him to bring another lady with him since he had informed earlier? Although the objective was clear, who could guarantee that nothing would happen? Who was to say that he wouldn’t have too much to drink or have too much fun, and something happened because of it? No matter how she thought about it, she still felt uneasy.“Tiffany can’t go because she’s pregnant, but I can. I’m not afraid of danger. Even if Alejandro is Ethan, he didn’t harm me when I had met him privately, right? I should help Tiffany keep an eye on Jackson. I’m worried that Jackson wouldn’t be able to control himself…”Mark rubbed his chin with one hand and laughed. “It’s obvious that you yourself are worried, yet you used your best friend as an excuse, saying you intend to stalk her husband. To be honest, I can’t let you come with me. I won’t let you take even the slightest risk. Listen to me, you sit here and wait while I get to work.”Arianne could tell that there was no
