Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 481

Jackson laughed, “I wouldn’t dare. How could I have the nerve to call my sister-in-law that? I was only making a comparison. I wasn’t trying to put anyone on the spot. Don’t discredit me.”

Arianne was momentarily speechless, “Hey, Jackson, Tiffie was cursing at you not too long ago, saying how she was about to drive herself mad with her own cooking skills. She misses you and wants you to see her soon.”

Tiffany immediately ended the video call and curled herself around Arianne, “Don’t say things like that! It embarrasses me! I am not missing him!”

Arianne was laughing her head off, “You totally were! It’s your fault for directing the camera at me. My hands are oily and I’m still holding half a prawn. I can’t look undignified, even in front of a close friend like Jackson. You started it first!”

At the Tremont Estate, Jackson turned towards Mark, who was right next to him, “Did you manage to see Arianne? I’m pretty sure that you can go see her now. Otherwise, Tiffany might think that I’m only dating her so that it’d be more convenient for you to get to Arianne… It’s unfair to me…”

Mark shook his head, “Not yet. I can’t relax as long as Ethan is still alive.”

Jackson turned serious, “I’ve sent someone off to do it. Carrying that kind of thing out in a foreign country comes with a set of challenges. You know this too. It’d take at least a year and a half, or more. Who knows when this will be done. Are you just going to wait? Can you endure it?”

Mark walked towards the French windows and picked up a sleeping Rice Ball, who was on a chair, “I have to. As long as Ari is by my side, Ethan would consider her as my weakness and think that I haven’t completely given up on her. He wants me to suffer, even if it comes to a fight to the death. I can’t take that risk. I can’t ensure total flawlessness, so it’s much safer to stay this way. Maintain a close eye on Ari’s side. Tell them to watch them, very closely.”

Jackson sighed, “Don’t worry. They’re very safe. Didn’t you plant Lynn Brooks in her shop? She’s a bodyguard. Even if she can’t beat up as many people as I can, she can definitely hold her own against ten. Why worry? I’ll free up my schedule and visit them. Let me spend a few days with my woman, at least. I’ve been so busy with your shit that I’ve completely forgotten about mine.”

…

The next day was a weekend. The café was busier than ever. Tiffany was too busy to even look up, Arianne never left the kitchen, and everyone else was wading through a mountain of work.

When Jackson walked into the café, every space was pretty much occupied. He squeezed his way to the sales counter. Tiffany was behind the counter with her back against him, making drinks.

“Hello, what would you like today?” Naya asked in her habitual manner, “We’re only available for takeaways at the moment, I’m afraid. We’ve run out of seats. I’m very sorry.”

He gazed at Tiffany and smiled, “Just a drink will do, thanks. No need for a takeaway.”
