Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Kabanata 1521 - Kabanata 1530

Robin patted his back gently. “Shh, hey. I can assure you, I’m fine. I can’t find it in me to fight her because I know why she acts this way. She blames me for sabotaging the chance of you getting with her stepdaughter, and now, I guess she thinks I ruined her marriage. Of course, it was well within your choice and no fault of ours,” she comforted. “All I know is that I married you, and I’ll gladly live the rest of my life with you. I don’t care about what other people think; their opinions are trivial. But I think that’s enough for a day, agreed? Have a good night’s sleep, and tomorrow is a fresh, new start. I’ll come over and keep you company for the weekend. How’s that sound?”Sylvain tightened his embrace, not letting go. “But I don’t want you to go. Please… stay with me, Robin. We want a kid of our own, don’t we? If you’re pregnant, maybe your mom will stop making you live with them, and maybe… I… Sigh. I just want us to live together, you know? A life of two. I don’t wanna be al

When she turned her gaze towards the woman, she was stunned. She was beautiful, so beautiful that she felt slightly inferior. Her only point of pride was probably her youth at this point. The woman carried the exclusive bearing of a mature woman. She was over at least thirty years old. She wore a tight-fitting top, her sleeves made of a half-transparent organza. There was an opening on her shoulders that exposed her pretty shoulders, making them seem particularly enticing. Her skin was fair and exquisite. Her white, wide-legged pants made her legs seem extremely long. She was dressed in white, which did not seem too fancy, but one simply couldn’t tear their eyes away from her.The makeup on the woman’s face was very light too. She used cold and dull tones. This was probably why the smile on the woman’s face didn’t seem warm enough, no matter how warm her smile truly was.Before Arianne could react, Mark suddenly waved at her and said, “Come here, let me introduce you. This is my aunt

The next day, there was an extra passenger on the way to the office.Shelly-Ann had insisted on going through normal procedures for a job offer in Mark’s company and had refused nepotism. This was the complete opposite of Arianne’s request to give Robin a position in the company.Now, Arianne discovered that gorgeous Aunt Shelly was also extraordinarily capable. She was highly educated and experienced. She majored in many different things. She could easily get most jobs in Tremont Enterprises and didn’t need nepotism at all.On this day, all of Tremont Enterprises was abuzz—there was another woman by Mark Tremont’s side! He even greeted her and sent her off personally.“Who is that woman?” Sylvain asked Arianne, unable to help himself. “Why are you so calm about this? Don’t you feel threatened at all?”Arianne sat in her office chair and calmly replied, “She’s his aunt. She looks thirty, but she’s actually around forty to fifty years old. Why should I feel threatened? She looks ex

Mark planted a kiss on her forehead. “What are you talking about? She doesn’t dislike you, silly. She even told me that you two visited the beauty salon together just earlier today! Frankly, I think you’re just not used to her yet. Give it some time; it will get better, you’ll see. She’s really an easy person to get along with.”Arianne was hard-pressed to answer him. She was averse to going against Mark’s rosy-colored impression of his surviving relative, so she kept quiet and hoped that he was right about things getting better.While her head was still in a knot, Mark’s had moved on to somewhere else. His lips fell onto hers.She shut her eyes, savoring it gladly. The air became warmer and warmer—until a series of rapping on the door grated against the buildup.Mark frowned. “Who is it?”Shelly’s voice came through the door. “I-It’s me, Mark. It’s pouring outside, and there’s this dreadful thunder right now. It’s affecting my sleep. See, I have a bit of a nervous condition, dear

That's what she said, yet Mark could not help but suspect Arianne for being insincere.Still, it was not like he knew any brilliant way to mediate between the two women, so he gave up with a sigh. “Alright, then. I hope you mean what you said. I guess the point I’m trying to make is that, well, we ought to communicate if we want to stop things from going awry, right? If you’ve got anything you’d like to talk about, just tell me in private. Most importantly, we, uh, should refrain from starting any sort of fights with Aunt Shelly as much as we could, got that? You’re my woman, Arianne, so it goes without saying that I’ll stand with you. But she’s my aunt, too, and someone I highly respect, at that.”Arianne cocked her eyebrow. “Mm-hmm? You don’t say, Mark. I’m not obtuse, you know. Alright, you done being jittery and hinky now? Then go and chat away with your aunt, lest she starts hounding for you. I’m not good at socializing with people of older generations, so I’d appreciate it if y
