Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 765

When Mark returned home for lunch, Arianne commenced an interrogation around the dining table. “So, how many relationships have you been in?”

The question seemed out of nowhere. Nonplussed, Mark asked, “Why do you ask?”

Arianne raised an eyebrow. “Nothing. Just curious. Am I not allowed to pursue a topic of curiosity, hmm? Or is your past off-limits?”

He did not answer her directly. Instead, Mark cast another tentative question into the court, “You’ve been a witness to every moment in my life since I turned eighteen. Is there even a need to ask?”

Arianne started to get irritated. “All I’m asking is this: how many relationships have you been in? Must you swerve so off-course to the topic?” she replied before pursing her lips.

Mark’s eyes darkened a little. When had he ever seen her purse in coquettish anger before? And to look so illegally adorable while doing it —

He forced down the urge to smooch her puckered lips by feigning coughs. “I don't think it’s something that should concern you. Knowing too much about one’s past often makes a person mad at otherwise faultless partners. So why don’t you, say, shift your interest to something else?”

Unfortunately, her curiosity had been roused by his evasiveness, and now, her mind clung to the question. “No, I won’t let you pivot, because I really wanna know, and I want you to tell me about it now! I mean, how is it fair that I know nothing about yours while you’ve made it your business to leave no detail of mine behind?”

Mark placed a slice of pork rib on her plate. “Hence what I say: it makes a person mad at otherwise faultless partners. Better to not know.”
