Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 552

’Doesn’t Aery Kinsey count?’ — was what Arianne wanted to say but did not in the end. This had always plagued her. She really didn’t want to be reminded that her husband had once dated her own sister.

Mark knew that she was overthinking again when she suddenly gave in. “What are you thinking about? Don’t hold it in, talk to me.”

She curled her lips, “I just think that you’re too cruel. Aery once dated you, after all, but you personally sent her to jail. Her life is pretty much ruined now.”

As she spoke, she inadvertently observed his expression, wanting to see how he would react.

“It’s true that she and I used to date,” Mark replied calmly, “But I can’t tolerate anyone who’s hurt you.”

Arianne wasn’t satisfied with his response. Didn’t he also hurt her, alongside Aery? Now he was washing his hands clean and pretty much admitting that something had happened between him and Aery?

‘It’s true that she and I used to date’ — these words put a sour taste in her mouth. “You’ve both done the same things. You’re not much better than one another. Since you won’t tolerate anyone who’s hurt me, you should remember not to forgive yourself.”

Mark suddenly chuckled, “Heh… I’ve never forgiven myself. Don’t you refuse to forgive me, too?”

That’s right. Her departure was the biggest blow to him.

Mark stopped the car outside her condominium. Arianne’s emotional state was in a mess. She simply waved at him and left.

Mark called out to her at just the right time, “Aren’t you going to invite me inside?” he asked half-jokingly.

Arianne’s dull tone carried a purposefully placed distance, “Another day. It’s late and inconvenient.”

He didn’t want to lie to Tiffany, but she had already managed to drag out his past with Lynn. He did not have the nerve to touch on her last nerve. He would never be able to reverse the consequences if that were to happen. They had broken up once already. He was really scared now. “I promise that I won’t do it again. Trust me, okay? I’ll always contact you, no matter how busy I am from now on. I definitely won’t disappear on you like that, alright? Don’t be angry.”

Tiffany wasn’t really angry in the first place. After a bit of coaxing from his end, her tiny bit of resentment disappeared, “Then I’ll forgive you, just this once! I’m hungry; order some takeout for me. I’m going to take a shower.”

Jackson secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “Sure. You go ahead.”

Tiffany walked into the bathroom. Jackson had just unlocked his phone when he saw a message from a strange number: ‘I know that you won’t give me an appropriate social status. I’ve only come to you because I simply don’t have the money to raise a child. I don’t want much — either you take the child back to be raised by the West family, or you give me enough money to raise the kid. I know that you need to verify this, but I’m still uncomfortable. After all, I’m being questioned. Our son looks a lot like you. The result will still be the same, whether you take the test or not.’

His palms broke out into a cold sweat. He couldn’t help recalling every moment from his past. He had clearly taken every precaution, so how could this have happened? He was beginning to panic. He wasn’t afraid of taking responsibility, but now he had Tiffany to think about. In the past, he would have handled this easily — if the child was his, he would just have to accept it. Even if he didn’t marry the woman, he would just shove a bit of money into her arms and end the matter. Now, things were different…
