Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 140

”I’m curious,” Arianne said mockingly, “You’re pinning your hopes on me instead of Aery?” She certainly remembered how her wonderful mother had allowed Aery to remain as Mark’s lover, despite knowing that he was her husband. She even tried to persuade her to leave him. How disgusting!

Helen felt embarrassed. “Ari, I know that you hate me. I had no idea that you and Mark were married when Aery was with Mark. I may have brought up an inadvisable request to you, but I’ve stopped Aery from any further intimate communications with Mark. They haven’t been contacting each other too often lately. You’ve probably realized this, right? Help me, just this once and I guarantee that Aery will never mess up your lives again. I can also guarantee… that I won’t appear in front of you again!”

Arianne laughed in spite of her rage. “Are you negotiating with me? As long as I help you, you’ll help me get rid of my husband’s lover and you’ll never show your face in front of me again? Have you ever gone to such lengths for my father and I? Was that Kinsey man that important to you? So important that you’d abandon your husband and daughter, and live such a shameless life now? Stop the car!”

Helen stopped the car at the side of the road. Arianne refused to spend another moment longer with her. Before she left, Helen called out, “I don’t care what you think. I’m a dying woman anyway. Perhaps you’d feel better when I’m dead.”

Arianne bit her lips and left, not bothering to look back. All she felt was anger now, but when she thought of how the woman who’d troubled her continuously from her childhood was dying… She couldn’t help feeling a little sad…

The Kinseys’ home.

Helen noticed a pair of expensive leather shoes at the front porch and knew that her husband, Jean Kinsey, was home. She didn’t feel too happy about it, but rather, felt mildly exhausted instead.

She ignored the happy chatter between father and daughter, and opted to go upstairs to her bedroom straightaway.

When she emerged from the bathroom, she found Jean rummaging through her handbag on the bed. She frowned, “What are you looking for?”

Jean looked sullen. “What is this?”
