A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 211

Arianne inhaled deeply before she said, “When I threw a tantrum after my miscarriage, saying things I shouldn’t have, and letting the world know that I cheated on him… He didn’t mind. There are many other examples. That’s enough for me. It really isn’t that bad. Will, I’m really doing well. My only pain is that I’m the daughter of a sinner, and I’m indebted to the Tremonts. In fact, Mark satisfies all my material needs, and he’s my type as well. Hatred isn’t the only thing that exists between us. We spent more than ten years together. It’s more than love. We’re family. It’s really not that bad.”

Upon hearing Arianne’s words, the light in Will’s eyes visibly dimmed. “Is that so? That’s good, then, if it’s true. I hope he won’t let you down…”

Arianne could no longer stay so she said, “Um… I have to leave now. Rest well.”

Will nodded. “Okay…”

When Arianne was at the door, Will suddenly called out. “Ari!”

Arianne stopped in her tracks but did not turn around. The tears that she had been holding back were threatening to fall.

“Remember that no matter what happens, Tiff and I are always here. If there really comes a day when Mark Tremont thoroughly disappoints you, you still have… us…”

Arianne nodded frantically and left the hospital as though she was fleeing for her life. The office was a little farther from the hospital. Although she had calculated the time it would take for her visit, she had forgotten to factor in the fact that it would be difficult to hail a cab during peak hours. When she returned to the Tremont’s Estate, she was more than an hour late compared to her usual time.

Seeing that Arianne was low in spirits, Nina could not help probing further. “What’s up with you? Why do you look so listless? Where did you go after leaving work early?”

Arianne felt a heated gaze on her and involuntarily looked at Mark. When she met his gaze, she instinctively told the truth. “The hospital. I went to visit a friend. He got into an accident, and his leg is fractured. It’s not too serious. Anyway, I’m exhausted. I’ll be in my room.”

Halfway up the flight of stairs, Arianne heard the sound of glassware crashing from the living room. She inhaled deeply and ignored it. She closed the door after entering her room.

Too lazy to shower in the bathroom downstairs, Arianne used the one in the bedroom. When she came out of the room, she realized with a start that Mark had returned to the room. He was seated in the chair in front of the French windows. Looking at his icy expression, she knew he was angry. She could not help but say, “I went to visit him on your behalf. Don’t do something like that again in the future. I don’t have anything to do with him. Thanks to you, we’re only friends. Nothing more than that. Don’t pick on him and the Sivans anymore.”
