Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 141

Arianne stood in front of the French windows in her bedroom, looking out into the night. Her heart was in disarray. At some point, it started drizzling.

When she saw the bright car lights from a distance, she tugged her lapels with her long, slender fingers, turned around, and walked downstairs.

A few minutes later, Mark walked in, slightly wet. She grabbed a towel and approached him. “It’s chilly and raining. Don’t get sick, hurry and get in the shower.”

Mark didn’t take the towel. He didn’t even look at her. Instead, he walked straight upstairs.

She wasn’t embarrassed by this either. She sat down and hung the towel on the sofa.

Shortly after, Mark arrived downstairs again, freshly showered. His jet-black hair was shimmering with crystal-like water droplets. As he walked past the sofa, he picked up the towel and dried his hair. This small action from him gave Arianne the courage to approach him.

“Why did you reject the collaboration with the Kinseys?” she asked bluntly.

“Because the liabilities outweigh the assets, what did you think it was?” he replied apathetically.

Arianne’s lips moved, but she didn’t speak immediately. She paused thoughtfully then said, “Is there any room for discussion?”

Mark did not give her an immediate answer. He got up and stepped aside to make a phone call.

At the dinner table, Arianne was feeling apprehensive. She was afraid of eating too fast as well. When she noticed Mark’s comparatively more leisurely pace with his meal, she couldn’t help taking bits of every dish and putting them on his plate for him—mostly because she was afraid that he would still be eating by the time she finished her meal…

Looking at their individual portions, despite the wide variety of food on the table, the amount of food served wasn’t in large portions. Her appetite had recently grown too…

Mark noticed her actions and thought that she was anxious for his response. He stared at her calmly and said, “I’ll think about it, you don’t have to fall over yourself with attempts to win my favor.”
