Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1449

Helen’s eyes brimmed with tears. “Arianne… I’ve already lost you, I don’t want to lose another daughter. I can’t live a life full of regrets. I want to grab onto my last chance. I won’t be able to live if Aery leaves. Her life will be destroyed if she ends up with Jean. I’ve already let you down, I can’t do the same to Aery. I don’t have a choice.”

Arianne bit her lips. She remained silent for a long time before she finally, “How indecisive. It’s not like you at all.”

“Maybe I should be heartless as you said.” Helen sobbed. “But I’ve always been afraid of history repeating itself and that I would regret it. Instead of saying that I can’t let Aery go, perhaps, you should say that I see her as another version of you. I can’t abandon her, just like how I abandoned you in the past. She’s really much better than before, she doesn’t infuriate me all the time anymore. She’s a good girl, like how you used to be when you were little…”

Arianne could not bear listening to any more of that. “Enough. Stop talking. I’m taking Smore for his afternoon nap. Make yourself comfortable.”

When Arianne returned to the nursery, she silently wept as she put Aristotle to sleep. She was not as indifferent as she would have liked. Helen could still easily send her into an emotional breakdown.

Aristotle lifted his small hand and wiped away her tears. “Don’t cwy mommy. Bad gwamma.”

Arianne felt slightly comforted. “Smore, you can’t say that grandma is a bad person. Grandma’s been nice to you. She likes you. She disappointed mommy, but she hasn’t let you down.”

Aristotle blinked, only half understanding the situation. “I hate Aunt Aewy. I don wan’em in our house.”

‘Why do you hate Aunt Aery?” Arianne asked. Aery was nice to Aristotle. At least, she seemed nice on the surface.

Aristotle cocked his head to the side and said with a pout, “She said… She said that the big bad wolf will bite me. I’m scarwed.”
