Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 580

Just before her shower, Arianne was taken aback when she noticed an extra toothbrush in the cup on her sink. Mark had used it before. After some thought, she decided not to throw it away. There was no harm in leaving it there anyway. She refused to admit that she had unconsciously acknowledged the possibility of Mark staying the night at her house from time to time. That’s why she left the toothbrush alone…

She checked her phone after stepping out of the bathroom and found a missed call from a strange number. It could have been a spam call if it had only been one call, but this number had called her seven times. She didn’t hear it, as she had been in the bathroom.

Suspicious, she returned the call, and it was soon answered. A familiar-sounding middle-aged man’s voice spoke from the receiver, “Miss Wynn, what took you so long to answer the phone? I’m a condo security guard. There’s some people here to see you, claiming to be your family members. I wasn’t sure if I should let them in, so I tried calling you. It’s a middle-aged woman and an old woman on a wheelchair.”

A middle-aged woman and an old woman on a wheelchair? That sounded even more suspicious to Arianne. The voice on the phone actually sounded like the security guard’s, but she had no idea how he managed to get her contact details.

It had been ten years since she had last heard the words “family”. After her father’s death, she had become an orphan and was raised by Mark. Where did these two come from?

She changed her clothes and went downstairs to the lobby entrance. When she arrived, the security guard welcomed her as if she were his savior, “You’re finally here. I was close to being scolded to death. It’s not like I don’t want to let them up, but I can’t. I have to be responsible for the safety of the tenants in this building. Besides, they don’t even live here.”

Arianne stared at the middle-aged woman and old woman, and confirmed that they were strangers to her as well, “I don’t know who they are. Besides… I don’t have any relatives.”

The security guard slapped his thigh, “Thank goodness that I didn’t let them in then. However… they gave me your number. How did they get your phone number?”

That was suspicious. Arianne frowned and walked forward to ask, “I’m sorry, but who are you?”

Mark Tremont? The old woman knew who Mark was? Did that mean that they were aware of her marriage to Mark? Were they also aware that he had raised her? Why didn’t they take her in years ago then? Why were they seeking her out now?

Arianne was completely lost. She could no longer help herself and asked, “Who are you?”

The middle-aged woman, who spoke in an accent from the capital, answered, “Didn’t I just tell you? I’m your aunt. This is your grandmother. Your father insisted on marrying Helen Cameran years ago, but your grandmother disapproved. So, your father took Helen and lived on his own. Helen was from out of town, so your grandmother turned her nose up against her. It’s been many years since we’ve severed ties. I got married to someone far away and took your grandmother out of the capital along with me a while back. We don’t even know when your father died. We would’ve taken you away if we had known sooner. However, we heard that someone from the Tremont family had taken you in, which seemed like a pretty good situation. Now, you’ve even become Mrs. Tremont. However, you really are falling short. You’ve refused to stay in the Tremont Estate and have come all the way here to this horrid little bird cage.”

They weren’t aware of her father’s death? That’s why they never took her? Arianne poured two glasses of warm water for the women. She did not explain her reasons for moving here, as she really didn’t feel like bringing up the myriad of issues she had faced, “So… Why have you come here?”
