Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 617

Jackson was powerless when faced with Tiffany’s coquettish manner and spoilt tone. “Fine, fine, fine. We’ll go home. You’re in charge of dragging me back if I lose control. Using brute force is fine too. I don’t want any drama.”

Tiffany relaxed once he relented. “Alright, you better keep your promise. I’m going to call Ari. I haven’t spoken to her in days.”

She happily conveyed her decision to Arianne once the call was connected, “Ari, I’m preparing to have children. I’m sick of getting nagged at all the time. I’m going to go crazy if I don’t give birth to a child soon. Jackson and I just went for a checkup, and we’re both fine. For now, we’ll just have to try. We’ll probably have a child soon. Will you be our child’s godmother, Ari? I’m definitely going to cling onto your coattails…”

Arianne easily concealed her disappointment and lightly replied, “Sure. Plan your pregnancy! I’m waiting for your good news. I’ll definitely treat your child like my own.” After all, she would not be able to have children of her own.

Tiffany chattered on and on. “I want a daughter. My mom has been telling me about the weird dreams she’s been having. It’s something about snakes and flowers. The older folks say this is a sign that someone close to them is pregnant. Maybe I’ll get pregnant soon. You must be there when I give birth. I feel so insecure when you’re not around.”

Jackson who was standing next to Tiffany said in a sour tone, “Yes, yes, yes. I can’t give you security. Only Arianne can. You’re not even pregnant, and you’re talking about the birth of the baby.”

It was currently lunchtime. However, Arianne stared at the food in front of her, she seemed to have lost her appetite. She was exhausted from the seemingly endless work at the shop. “By the way, Tiffie, you should eat. I need to rest now. I have to work again after this.”

After Arianne ended the call, she cleared away the plate and cutleries.

Naya was surprised when she saw this. “Aren’t you eating? You barely had two bites. Are you over-exhausted?”

Arianne sighed gloomily. “Maybe. I haven’t had much appetite over the past few days. However, I’ve been sleeping very well. I fall asleep as soon as I get home. I sleep soundly through the night, only waking up in the morning. I can’t seem to drag myself out of bed as well. It’s good that I’m tired though. This means the business is doing well, and we’re making profits.”

At this moment, Mark suddenly sent a video. The video was short, it only lasted for fifteen seconds. The video featured him and an old lady shopping. The old lady might be advanced in age, but she clearly enjoyed shopping. Regardless of age, it seemed like most women enjoyed shopping. She replied to the message, “Don’t do it too often. Old people are like kids. You can’t indulge them too much.”

Mark’s reply to her was swift. “I’ll be free in the next two days. I’ll visit you.”

The next morning, she did a series of pregnancy tests, one after another, from the moment she woke up. She broke down after using up all the pregnancy test kits. She sat down on the toilet bowl, completely at a loss. When she regained her senses, she discovered her cheeks were stained with tears. How could this happen? Was she not unable to give birth? Why did she have to go through this again?

At this time, she should be at the shop. However, at this moment, she did not feel like going anywhere. She called in to inform Naya of her absence before curling up on the couch. She stared blankly into space for the longest time. She did not even have the courage to go to the hospital. She was afraid the doctor might recommend her to have an abortion. She did not want to listen to those words anymore.

She knew she could not do this on her own. In the end, she knew she had to tell Mark. This involved him after all. She needed someone to rely on at this moment. With Mark around, she would feel less afraid and more assured.

Mark was suitably surprised when he received Arianne’s call. He was, naturally, delighted since she rarely took the initiative to call him. “Why are you calling me? My plane leaves tomorrow. We’ll see each other soon.”

“Reschedule…” she said, choking back sobs, “Come today. Right now…”

Mark panicked when he heard her sobbing. “What is it? What happened?”
