Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 381

On the dining table, Arianne twirled the spaghetti on her plate restlessly with her fork as she threw occasional glances at Mark who was indulging in his dinner. After holding back for a long time, she finally said, “Maybe… I should just go find Tiffie at the hospital. The longer I delay this, the more anxious I feel.”

Mark stopped the movement of his fork. “Must you really?”

Arianne knew that Mark was probably not very keen on the idea of meeting Ethan since they were half brothers. Seeing Ethan would certainly bring back some unpleasant memories.

“I’ll be back real quick. Regardless if Ethan really got into an accident or not, he can’t possibly do anything to me in the hospital, right? Don’t worry. If you’re really concerned, you can have Brian accompany me or send two bodyguards with me.” Arianne made the biggest compromise to express her determination in going to the hospital.

“I’ll go with you. Finish your food first,” Mark said coldly and put a piece of beef into her plate.

His action somehow made her feel guiltier. After all, she had told him she did not want to see him when she was in the hospital after her miscarriage. Arianne wondered how he felt back then. Did that hurt him just a little? Although Aery Kinsey was to blame for her miscarriage, it might not necessarily be the outcome he wished for despite his ambiguous relationship with Aery.

Arianne lowered her head so Mark would not notice the change in her emotions. Unspoken feelings were normal between family members. No matter how angry she was, life still had to go on. Even if they really divorced, and she left the Tremont Estate, she was not certain she would not think about him again. After all, Mark had been in her life for more than two decades. He was a big part of her life. His existence was deeply ingrained in her mind.

After their meal, Mark drove to the hospital where Ethan stayed.

To prevent Ethan from taking any preventive measures if he knew they were coming, Arianne did not inform Tiffany about her intention to visit the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, they directly asked a nurse for the ward that Ethan was staying in.

By the time they rushed there, they discovered it was empty. The bed was neatly made, and there was nothing on the side table.

The scene before their eyes stunned them. Mark was the first to recover from his shock and went to ask the nurse if Ethan had been discharged from the hospital.

The nurse checked the records and told them, “No, maybe he went out for a moment.”

At this moment, Arianne decided to call Tiffany only to find that Tiffany’s phone had been switched off.

Ethan looked at her disapprovingly. “There aren’t many people walking around on this street. Don’t worry, I’ll buy a new one for you so stop complaining. Look, the stars are out!”

Tiffany looked up and saw a few stars sparsely scattered in the sky just like Ethan had said. Stars were difficult to be spotted in the sky above cities like the one they were in. This was also a sign that the weather would be good tonight. She withdrew her gaze after one glance. “Alright, let’s go down now. You looked so frail earlier, but you still pulled me up here to look at the stars. I wouldn’t have stayed if the doctor didn’t tell me that you might experience dizziness or even faint.”

Ethan suddenly approached her from behind and wrapped his arms around her. “Tiffie, will you marry me please?”

Tiffany was so shocked by his sudden embrace that she stiffened instead of struggling to break free from his embrace. It was only natural that she was flustered. “What are you saying out of the blue?”

“We were going to get engaged when we returned to the country but that didn’t happen because of me. At that time, I wanted to kickstart my career because I didn’t want anyone to say that I’m riding on your family’s coattails. Little did I expect that it would take so long. I really don’t want to let you go again. Let’s just pretend we didn’t break up. Marry me, please?” He whispered affectionate words in her ear. Even in the darkness, the determination in his eyes was frighteningly clear.

“I think it’s going too fast…” Tiffany began to say.

However, Ethan interrupted her. “No, it’s not! Things are going too slow for me!”
