Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 577

Jackson’s father? Arianne had never heard of him and felt curious, “Of course, I’m going. His dad? I’ve never heard of him…”

Mark did not explain too much, “His family situation is complicated, very complicated. When you come back to the capital, stay at the Tremont Estate. You can see Henry and Mary too.”

He didn’t give Arianne any chance to refuse. He knew that she wasn’t a fickle person, and probably missed Mary and Henry. Hence, he used them as an excuse for her to go back to the Tremont Estate. She shouldn’t have any reason to refuse if it was only temporary… right?

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I’m tired. Good night,” Arianne closed her eyes after that. She really was exhausted. After all, she had been working throughout the day.

Mark did not say anything more. His vision was clear despite the darkness, as though he wasn’t sleepy at all. His woman was lying right next to him, but he couldn’t touch her. Of course, he wouldn’t be able to sleep. A small flame flickered in his heart, hotter than the 40°C summer weather.

The next day, Arianne dashed into the bathroom once she woke up. She was still in a daze as she sat on the toilet bowl, reminiscing the shameful dream she had last night. She wiped her face, feeling slightly ashamed. This was the first time she had ever had that kind of a dream while she was in bed with Mark, after so many years. She began to suspect that he had done some things to her while she was asleep…

Mark remained asleep as she got ready for work. It was a little strange for someone who had always been strict with time; however, she suspected nothing. It was time to go to work.

She decided to clean up the kitchen before things got busy at the shop. A cleaner, spotless kitchen put her in a better mood at work. Naya came in to help and spotted something strange on her neck, “Your neck…”

Arianne was confused, “What’s wrong with my neck?”

Naya blushed, “It… Mark… Did your husband spend the night at your place last night? Looks like he’s left a hickey while you weren’t aware. You’d better cover it up. There are people here…”

Arianne’s mind went numb. Was that dream she had… not a dream at all?

She checked out her neck with her phone and managed to make out a red hickey. She had gone too easy on Mark… Would she have a reason to flip out on Mark if he really had touched her last night?

Tiffany energetically called for a cab to the office. It wasn’t easy for her to get a job. She certainly didn’t want to be late on the first day!

She had just stepped into the company office when her phone rang. She pushed the elevator buttons frustratedly as she answered the call, “Hello? Jackson, I’m at the office now. I don’t have time to talk to you. I’m going to be late. It wasn’t easy for me to get this job. Don’t mess this up for me. I’ll talk to you after work. Love you!” She ended the call with a kissing noise.

The call ended before Jackson could react to it. He stared at his phone, speechless. Then, he chuckled indulgently. It looked like moving in together would have to wait. Tiffany was now fully focused on her job and had no time to think of anything else. He was handling the engagement party all on his own too. She really didn’t seem to put any heart into it.

For some strange reason, Tiffany felt as if she had been more at ease at the café, probably because she hadn’t had an office job in a while. Working at the café was tiring, but not to the point where she realized that she was working for someone else. She was even shouted at and ordered about, all because she was a newbie. She never really did any actual work for the entire day and simply acted as a runner. She even had to make coffee and tea.

She wouldn’t have cared if these orders came from a regular colleague, but these orders came from her Department Supervisor. The excuse was that she was new and had to get used to the working environment while also establishing a good relationship with her colleagues. No matter how bad her temper was, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and act as a runner, because she was afraid that her boss might make things difficult for her, and she would be out of a job.

Near the end of the work day, everyone else in the department gradually clocked off. She had expected to be released, finally allowing her to go home to Jackson so that she could hug her “long suffering husband”. However, someone stopped her — it was a colleague from her department, Henrietta Little, “Hey, newbie. Print these documents out for me. I’ll need them for tomorrow. I’ve got a dinner party and won’t have time to do overtime. This should take more than half an hour to complete. You do it.”
