Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Kabanata 1151 - Kabanata 1160

Mark found it funny, as he saw Arianne pouting angrily. “You look really cute when you’re angry.”Arianne glared at him. “You think I’m cute when I’m angry? Very well, keep angering me as long as it pleases you! At the end of the day, it’s your fault for giving her the wrong gift and making her misunderstand your intentions! Of course, she would have the courage to challenge me when she thinks you prefer her over me!”Mark surprisingly took her scolding in stride. “You’re right, it’s my fault and I’ve taken care of it already. I’ll compensate for the gift next time.”Arianne snorted. “No! I don’t want your gift. I don’t wanna be scorned by those outsiders again. I can’t handle that kind of provocation! I suppose you’ve lost quite a bit, now that you’ve ended that partnership?”Mark nodded his head. “You’re right, it’s quite a loss. However, it’s nothing compared to the humiliation you had to go through. Nothing else matters other than you.”Although Arianne still had a cold expres

Mark seemed to be in a good mood that day. Davy noticed it as well the moment Mark arrived at the office.Naturally, Davy could not understand why Mark was in a pleasant mood instead of being upset at losing the partnership with Jessica, which would incur quite a sum of losses.Davy did not dare to lower his guard, as things seemed too good to be true. He treaded even more carefully than usual and said, “Mr. Tremont, would you like some coffee or tea? Or would you like to have something else?”Mark walked to his desk and sat down. He raised his eyes to look at Davy and smiled at him. “I’ll let you decide for me.”Davy gulped, his face stiffening as he said, “Then… would tea be alright for you?” From what he knew, Mark preferred tea most of the time; he should be safe with this choice.Mark only nodded in acknowledgement. His face didn’t look cold at all as he replied. In fact, he was very casual about it.Mark turned on his computer. He saw that he had a new email and naturally o

A hint of disdain flashed across Jessica’s eyes. She would never drink milk tea from a roadside stall. “Mr. Tremont holds you in high regard. My previous visit to you was a misunderstanding. He was the one who had given me your earrings by mistake and caused me to misunderstand his feelings for me. I’m here to apologize. This was a misunderstanding, and although it has already been solved, he has terminated our partnership simply because I went to visit you before. You probably aren’t aware of the great profits this partnership could bring us both, but it is important enough for me to make a personal trip. So, I’ll get to the point. I hope that we can still continue this partnership, and you’re the only one who can change his mind. I’m willing to give way. What do you think?”Arianne had washed herself clean of this issue, as she believed in Mark’s decisions and she did not like the smug connotations in Jessica’s tone. “Am I not just a naive little girl to you? I have zero understandi

Arianne gave Harvey an estimate of the money Harvey would need to last until his graduation and internship. She did not give him anything extra, as she worried that it would cause further issues. Harvey accepted it, but he still felt apologetic. “I’ll pay you back when I start working, sis. I promise I’ll do it.”Arianne did not decline his offer. “Sure. I’ll wait for you to start earning your salary to pay me back. The money for you to get home is included too. Try to go home sooner and have a Merry Christmas.”Robin waited for Harvey to leave, then asked, “Was that your brother?”Arianne nodded. “My aunt’s son. My grandmother adopted her, so we’re not related by blood. However, my cousin isn’t all that bad. He’s not like his parents.”Arianne walked around a little more after buying fruits, then headed home. Aristotle had just finished his milk and was feeling particularly energized. He was crawling around on the ground and refused to stop.Poor Mary was already old enough, yet

She was still in a daze when Mark poured Helen another glass of wine and said, “Merry Christmas, mom.”Everyone around the dining table fell silent.Henry and Mary silently turned to look at Arianne.Arianne hastily raised her glass to disperse the awkward atmosphere and said, “Merry Christmas, everyone. Let’s drink.”Everyone knew she was trying her best to not be awkward so they went along with her.Arianne had never addressed as mom before, Mark knew very clearly that she had not gotten over the obstacle in her heart.Helen, being the oldest among everyone present, deftly changed the topic. She asked Mark, “How’s the company doing this year, Mark?”Mark replied, “It’s doing well. We’re getting by.”Both of them continued talking about business. Since Arianne was not particularly knowledgeable about this, she sat back and took care of Smore.After dinner, the family went to the balcony on the second floor to look at the fireworks being released in the distance.
