Semua Bab A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Bab 401 - Bab 410

The smile on Tiffany’s face faded. Why did Ethan have to choose White Water Bay Café of all places? Or did he choose it because of Jackson? She really wanted to explain to him that there was nothing between Jackson and her, yet she just couldn’t bring herself to say it every time the words reached her lips.Aside from spending money frivolously, Lillian also knew how to read a situation. She knew that there was more reason for Ethan to choose White Water Bay Café than it seemed on the surface. “Fine with me, it sounds like a decent place.”When she left the two of them to change her clothes, Tiffany finally couldn’t hold herself back anymore. “Ethan, there’s no need for that. There’s really nothing between me and Jackson.”Ethan’s gaze turned hard. “If that’s the case, then dining there isn’t an issue, right? You should be comfortable and prove to me that there’s really nothing between you two. My patience has a limit. Since I’ve already taken things to this extent, you should consi

Tiffany instantly blushed. Instead of scolding him, she downed a glass of wine nervously. “You’re really nasty…”Her reaction stunned him for two seconds. Whenever they joked like this in the past, she would retaliate instead of blushing... All of a sudden, her phone rang in her bag. Tiffany answered the call in front of him without any hesitation. “Ethan? I’m eating outside. Why? No one in particular, I’m with a friend. What? Meet? It’s gonna be late by the time I’m done, can we leave it until tomorrow? By the way, I’ve resigned. I’ll have plenty of time tomorrow. Alright, I’m hanging up now.”After Tiffany hung up, she continued eating and did not notice the cold expression on Jackson’s face. After a few more glasses of red wine, the blush on her face showed no signs of fading away. She used to be able to hold her liquor well but not anymore since it had been quite a long time since she last drank heavily. Since she was drinking too fast earlier, the alcohol had gotten to her hea

Arianne did not realize that she sounded like a child showing off, but Tiffany could clearly see it. “Oh, oh, oh, look at you! And you were just telling me that you want a divorce, how you can’t stand him anymore… You’re so lovey-dovey now, aren’t you? I think a divorce is impossible after you’ve spent so many years with him. There’s still familial love even without romantic love. I really envy you guys for stepping right into familial love, passing the romance. No matter how bad things get, you’ll reconcile in a blink of an eye. Other people break up so easily and get a divorce with just a snap of fingers.”The hint of a smile on the corners of Arianne’s lips grew deeper. “Knock it off! You must be free in the afternoon since you’re not working anymore. Let’s go out for tea? I can finally go out freely now. I’m dying of boredom!”Tiffany could not wait until afternoon. “Come out right now. I have something to tell you. My mind is in a mess…”Arianne caught a whiff of gossip from her w

Mark took a big puff of his cigarette before putting it out immediately. “It’s… it’s okay… Make me tea, make it richer…” Could someone tell him why the odd taste was still lingering in his mouth? Even the cigarettes could not get rid of the taste. Hopefully, the tea would be able to wash it away.After Arianne skipped upstairs and handed the black tea to Mark, he blew on it carelessly before drinking a big gulp. It was not a wise move. He would never forget how the combination of the tea and the odd taste in his mouth tasted like. He did not have dinner that night since he had to go to the toilet for a total of 18 times. He could not endure it and finally went to the hospital early the next morning.Arianne who had been busy the entire afternoon slept soundly, unaware of the torture Mark went through. She only noticed that he got out of bed frequently throughout the night. When she did not see him the next morning during breakfast, she thought he had gone to the office.However, Mary c

“Don’t… Stop it…”Her rejection was soft, unaggressive, causing Mark to disregard it. With a simple flip of their bodies, he caged her under him and pinned her struggling arms. Her wrists were thin, both of them fitting in only one of his hands.Realizing what was about to happen, Arianne panicked. “Mark! Please don’t!” She was subconsciously repelling the act, an indescribable feeling coming over her.Losing himself in the heat of the moment, Mark littered kisses around her lips and asked, “Why?”Why? Arianne didn’t know why either. How was she supposed to answer him? They were lawfully married, husband and wife. Something like this was normal, expected even, but she was subconsciously resisting. So why? She thought about his past with Aery and her three babies, none of them able to greet this world. The torment that she had gone through in the hospital was a neverending nightmare.There was also her past, which she had sealed away, regarding Will and regarding the absent Sivans. All
