Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 180

Seeing that Arianne was keeping quiet, Mary said with a smile. “Ah, you’re still young. You’ve been staying by sir’s side since you’re a little girl. You’re just like a carefully cared for rose that hasn’t seen much of the outside world. Once you go out into the world and see enough people and men, you’ll understand this. Sir might not be the nicest to women, but he’s certainly not mean to them. I can see there’s something going on with Aery and sir, but if Aery had met with an accident, I don’t think he would’ve rushed to the hospital and stayed the night.”

Arianne did not want to speak about this so she quickly changed the topic. “Mary, did you arrange for someone to take care of Rice Ball on my behalf? It was raining so heavily last night, and the wind was so strong. It must have been terrified, being left in the backyard.”

Mary slapped her leg. “Aiyah, I forgot! I was so worried about you all night and didn’t get a good sleep. I had a nagging feeling that I’ve forgotten something. If you didn’t remind me, I would’ve forgotten all about it. Look at me, I’m so old now that even my memory is slipping. How could I forget about Rice Ball? I’ll call home and speak to Henry!”

Arianne was anxious upon hearing this. The weather had been awful. Leaving Rice Ball in the yard under such conditions made him no different from a stray.

Mary called the Tremont Estate and put the call on speaker so Arianne could listen in as well.

The call rang for a long time but no one picked up. When they thought no one heard the call, it was suddenly connected.

Mary quickly said, “Madam asked to check on Rice Ball. The weather was bad last night. Rice Ball must have been petrified. Have someone check on it quickly and clean it. Make sure it doesn’t fall sick. Cats are pampered creatures. It would have one foot on its deathbed if it falls sick!”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds before Mark’s voice sounded. “Noted.”

The call ended immediately.

Arianne and Mary looked at each other. Who would have guessed that Mark would pick up the call? Arianne was a little worried. “He doesn’t care about Rice Ball. Mary, call Henry’s personal number.”

Mary waved her off. “Alright, don’t worry. Even if sir doesn’t care, he’ll ask Henry to do it. Even if he doesn’t, the Tremont’s has so many helpers. Someone will do it. Someone will help you with Rice Ball even if nobody asks. Maybe Rice Ball is already taken care of. Don’t worry so much.”
