Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1143

By the time Mark was done with his meeting and had returned to his office, he was shocked to find Arianne had fallen asleep on the couch. Although the radiator was turned on in the office, it would still be cold to sleep without a blanket. He walked up to wake her up. “I’m done with my work, let’s go eat.”

Arianne opened up her eyes and sat up in a daze. She felt a little dizzy, and her nose was runny. Who knew that taking a nap for such a short while would give her the cold. She really felt that she was weak and too prone to catching a cold. “What… What time is it?”

Mark held out his wrist in front of her and pointed at the time on his watch. “What time is it? It’s after working hours now. Did you catch a cold?”

Arianne sniffed. “I think so, but it’s not a big deal. Let’s go.”

The moment they stepped out of the company, Arianne was hit by a gust of cold wind and shivered. She instinctively shrank into Mark’s embrace. “It’s so cold!”

Mark grinned. He reached out and grabbed her shoulders without paying attention to gazes from onlookers. “Get in the car. You’ll feel better inside.”

Arianne enjoyed her moment of being protected by him. His height made him a human windbreaker.

Janice saw everything as she stood by the elevator door. She found the scene painful to watch. Although she knew she had no right to be jealous, she could not help but feel uncomfortable as though there was a thorn at her side. She was definitely not the only woman who lingered around Mark, but she was definitely the most stubborn one. Her life had already begun to revolve around him the moment he sponsored her.

“Mr. Tremont and his wife seem really happy together. I heard that his wife is ten years younger than him. I’m so envious of her. He seems to dote on her a lot.”

When Janice heard the conversation in her surroundings, she grew even more uncomfortable in her heart. She hastily walked out and left the company.

...

Arianne looked at him. “Again? Are you sure that’s alright? I’m worried about Smore.”

Mark, on the other hand, seemed relaxed. “I’m not satisfied with our previous date. We’re going to re-do it. Smore’s able to live just fine without you, what are you so worried about? Mary’s able to take care of him just fine.”

Although what Mark said was true, Arianne still missed her son. It was a mother’s instinct after all. Mothers would always think of their children no matter where they were. However, in Mark’s case… She did not want to go along with his idea, but she knew she had no choice because of the incident with Will. Otherwise, she would not have a good night’s sleep. “Alright, but we really should return home early in the morning.”

As the food was brought out in courses, Mark carefully poured Arianne a bowl of soup. “I’m going overseas tomorrow. Be a good girl and stay at home while I’m away. I’ll be video-calling you every day.”

It had been a while since he had gone on an overseas trip that lasted for a week. She nodded and replied, “Alright.”
