Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 403

The smile on Tiffany’s face faded. Why did Ethan have to choose White Water Bay Café of all places? Or did he choose it because of Jackson? She really wanted to explain to him that there was nothing between Jackson and her, yet she just couldn’t bring herself to say it every time the words reached her lips.

Aside from spending money frivolously, Lillian also knew how to read a situation. She knew that there was more reason for Ethan to choose White Water Bay Café than it seemed on the surface. “Fine with me, it sounds like a decent place.”

When she left the two of them to change her clothes, Tiffany finally couldn’t hold herself back anymore. “Ethan, there’s no need for that. There’s really nothing between me and Jackson.”

Ethan’s gaze turned hard. “If that’s the case, then dining there isn’t an issue, right? You should be comfortable and prove to me that there’s really nothing between you two. My patience has a limit. Since I’ve already taken things to this extent, you should consider giving me a reply as soon as you can. I sincerely want to marry you.”

Tiffany bit her lip silently. Why was she never this uncomfortable with Ethan in the past? Now that she thought about it, Ethan would never care if she liked someone else in the past, or if she was grabbing a meal or a drink with another guy. Did he change because he started to care about her?

The atmosphere was getting a little tense, so she chose to escape to her mother’s room. “I’ll go see if mom is ready.”

Closing the door behind her, Tiffany let out a long sigh of relief before hissing softly, “Mom, why did you agree to go to the White Water Bay Café? Won’t you feel awkward if we run into Jackson there?”

Lillian wasn’t really bothered. “You were only putting up an act with Jackson anyway. What’s there to be awkward about if it’s a fake relationship? Or is there really something between you and him? Since you were always so picky about the blind dates I set up for you, you better appreciate it now that a good man like Ethan is taking the initiative to reconcile with you. I used to look down on him because he was poor, but he’s actually turned out to be Mark Tremont’s younger brother now. If you marry into the Tremont family, we’ll never have to worry about money again in our entire lives. You better not screw it up. You said you didn’t like those other men, but Ethan is your first love of three years. I’m sure you have nothing else to say about him, right?”

Tiffany knew that her mother was an easily influenced person, so she no longer bothered to argue with her.

They seated themselves at the main dining hall at White Water Bay Café. Lillian unceremoniously ordered the most expensive dishes. Just when the bill was reaching a four-digit figure, Tiffany gave her a reminder. “Mom, there’s only the three of us here. We won’t be able to finish the food.”

Lillian threw a glance at Ethan then ended her order with a bottle of red wine that cost nearly a thousand dollars. “This is the first time my soon-to-be son-in-law is treating me to a meal; you don’t have to be that stingy. Why are you taking his side before you’re even married to him?”

Maybe because he was in a good mood, Ethan didn’t seem to care. “Don’t worry about it, Tiffie. Just order what you ladies want to eat. It’s my turn to repay all the kindness that I’ve received from the Lane family in the past.”

One was happily spending money while the other was happily footing the bill. Tiffany felt like she shouldn’t even be here at all.
