Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1458

Mark paused thoughtfully and replied, “I don’t believe it either. Knowing her, it would more believable to say that she has nothing to do with Aristotle’s fall than to say she has turned over a new leaf and protected Smore. It’s strange. I’ve never believed in humans’ good nature. Especially after everything she’s done… I did consider this when we invited her and Helen to live in Tremont Estate. However, with your mom keeping an eye on Aery, I didn’t think it would be a problem. Your mother has always been meticulous. Besides, Mary hardly ever leaves Smore alone. This temporary lapse today must have been an accident. Don’t overthink it. It’s alright as long as Smore is fine.”

Arianne suddenly tugged on his collar and sniffed. “Mary should have told you about Smore’s fall when you got home, and you still have time to take a shower before seeing your son? Why do you… seem so cold-blooded?”

The corners of Mark’s lips twitched. “Mary already told me that Smore is fine. I don’t think it matters when I check on him. You should consider me too, I’ve been running around all day. I’m sweaty, and my back hurts. I can feel my clothes sticking to my wound. All I wanted to do was take a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes. Are you going to pick a fight with me over that? How long has Smore been asleep? It’s almost dinner time, should we wake him?”

Arianne shook her head. “No need. It was 3 PM when we arrived home. Usually, Smore would be fast asleep by then. His nap was a little late today, let him sleep. He’s suffered a shock. I’ll give him something to eat when he wakes up. Is your back wound that serious? It sounds a little exaggerated, coming from you. I was feeling guilty…”

Mark straightened up and smiled. “It’s fine. I’m sensitive, what can I do? It’ll be fine tomorrow. Let Aristotle sleep. Let’s go downstairs for dinner.”

As the pair left the nursery, they ran into Helen who was helping Aery downstairs.

“Tell someone to send her meals up,” Arianne said, “She has already injured her ankle, she might turn into a cripple if she falls again.”

“It’s alright,” Aery said, “It’s okay, mom is helping me. I can walk, just a little slower. It’s rude of me to eat in the room.”
