Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 351

A car outside their window flew past them at a rapid speed. The sound of its screeching tyres pierced through their ears. The sound of it was very abrupt, a stark contrast to the silence in their car.

Arianne did not reply, but her answer was self-evident.

“F*ck!” Tiffany cursed. “I should have known! Now I finally understand why you can’t seem to fall in love with such a drop-dead gorgeous and wealthy man like Mark. You’re a harmless and innocent little lamb, and he’s a wolf who takes a bite out of you whenever he’s upset. Yet, despite everything, you still must be grateful to him for raising you!”

Arianne seemed relatively calm compared to Tiffany’s righteous indignation, “It’s not as vile as you think. I don’t love him; the only thing that bothered me about his relationship with Aery was her identity. I wasn’t too bothered with his extra-marital affairs. I admit that I was hurt after he had covered up for her, but I… can’t hate him.

“Do you know, he told me that he once loved me, after I was caught in bed with Will… I’ve let down a man who other women couldn’t bear to disappoint. What’s wrong with letting him hurt me? It doesn’t matter, we’re even. I don’t love him anyway… I’ve hurt him more than once, unintentionally. What gives me the right to play the victim?

“To this day, I don’t even know who put that picture of Will and I on the internet, or who framed Will and I the second time. I’ve committed the same mistake twice, and even though I never intended to, I was stupid enough to let it happen.”

Tiffany felt a complicated mess of emotions after hearing her explanation, “You’re still standing up for him, despite everything? Nothing is fair in this world. Do you really think that grinning and bearing it makes you both even?”

Arianne simply stared quietly into the night scenery that passed by her through the window. She remained silent from then on.

The next day, she slept all the way until noon. Mary was preparing a warm meal, afraid that she might be hungry when she woke up, “Ari, you should take a walk in the garden after your meal. It’d be good to move around. You’re expecting twins. Soon you’ll be extremely heavy and won’t be able to walk even if you wanted to.”

Arianne sat down at the dining table and waited for Mary to serve her meal as she nagged, “Many things have happened at our home lately, and Mr. Tremont can’t take care of you at the moment. You’ll have to take care of yourself. I’m old now, so it’s difficult for me to take care of every single aspect. You’re going to be a mother soon. You shouldn’t act like a child anymore.”

Arianne wasn’t too bothered by this kind of nagging. In fact, it felt earnest to her and very warm, “I understand, Mary. Are you talking about my excursion last night? I didn’t go out to fool around with Tiffie. I went to the hospital to see Mark.”
