Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 418

Her phone rang. It was a call from Jackson. She rejected the call, having no intention of answering the call. Her mind was in a mess. She did not want to bring any further trouble on herself.

Two minutes later, she heard footsteps drawing near to her. She instinctively turned around vigilantly and met Jackson’s intense gaze. She felt slightly guilty at this moment and slipped her phone into her bag with a straight face as she said, “My… My phone ran out of battery…”

He raised his brow. “If you ran out of battery, my call shouldn’t have connected. How could it have disconnected in the middle of the call? What am I, a three-year-old?”

Tiffany did not reply. She lowered her head and stared at her feet. If she could only find a hole in the ground, she would gladly bury herself!

Jackson did not bicker with her over rejecting his call. Instead, he chuckled. “Forget it, I’ll take you home.”

When she saw him pulling out his car keys, Tiffany immediately reminded him, “You’ve had a few drinks. You shouldn’t be driving.”

He stared at her, unperturbed. “Are you that certain that I’ve had a few drinks?”

Her eyes darted all around, vehemently refusing to look at him. How could she have possibly known that he had had a few glasses of alcohol if he did not kiss her? After all, she had personally tasted the alcohol in his mouth. Besides, it was impossible for anyone to come to a place like this and not drink alcohol. “Are you telling me that you came all the way here to drink plain water?”

Finally, he relented and hired a designated driver, probably because he saw the embarrassment on her face. She would feel much more comfortable with an outsider around.

Both parties had their eyes closed, resting the entire way. They did not interact with each other too much, feeling uncomfortable from having too much to drink.

When the car arrived at the ground floor of Tiffany’s building, he pushed her when he realized she showed no signs of moving. “We’re here.”

She drowsily opened her eyes and looked outside to confirm that she was in a familiar place. Then, she thanked the driver and got down from the car. She was too afraid to turn around knowing Jackson was still there. She suspected the liquor she had was diluted with water. Otherwise, how could she possibly be so conscious?

Shortly after, the designated driver drove ahead. Jackson had long sobered up. His eyes were bright and alert. “Ethan sent you here, didn’t he? The designated driver that I called still hasn’t arrived. I should be more cautious next time.”

“He wants to see you.” The designated driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror.

She was the only one in bed now, which meant that Mark had gone out. At least she could have some peace for now. However, when he came home…

Uncertainty prevented her from lying down any longer. She crawled out of bed, ignoring her body’s complaints. Just as her feet touched the ground, her knees nearly gave way. It felt as though the ground was made of cotton. The strangest thing of all was that she discovered she was naked. She forced herself to remain calm and went to the bathroom to take a shower. She faced the mirror and found obvious signs of hickeys all over her body, like flags planted over every part of her body. She no longer had to guess what happened last night. This explained why she felt so sore as well. Unfortunately, she could not remember a thing,

At this moment, Mary’s voice rang from outside the bedroom. “Ari, are you up? Mr. Tremont asked me to clean up the room once you’re up.”

Arianne calmed herself and feigned nonchalance as she opened the door.

Mary smiled ambiguously as soon as she saw her. “Mr. Tremont was so concerned about you, asking me to wait for you to wake up before cleaning the room. He was afraid that I’d disturb your sleep. You had a lot to drink when you got home last night. Mr. Tremont was the one who carried you up to your room and showered you. He’s actually quite considerate.”

Arianne could not bring herself to smile. Her entire body was feeling extremely uncomfortable. She finally understood why everyone said that too much alcohol would lead to serious trouble. “Then… You can go ahead and clean up. I’m going down to eat.”

Mary grunted in reply and walked to the trash can in the corner of the room. Aside from a pile of tissue, there was nothing else in the trash can. Arianne had managed to catch a glimpse of it. Her heart suddenly raced. Seeing as Mark had asked Mary to clean the room, that meant the room had not been cleaned prior to this moment. Why were there no condoms in the trash can? Did they not use any contraceptive last night?
