Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 926

Henry was not alone when he entered the house, for following closely behind was Helen. The surprise appearance was not planned, however. She simply met Henry by the gate.

Arianne, with Smore in her arms, stepped forward to greet her. “Sweetie, say hi to your grandma.”

The look Helen cast on Smore was absolutely brimming with affection, yet she made no mention of wanting to hug or hold the baby, perhaps wary that Arianne might not like it. “What a beautiful baby! He looks like you but has Mark’s expressions.”

Arianne smiled. “Take a seat, please. So, finally having some free time, huh?”

Helen made herself comfortable on the living room couch and muttered thanks to Mary when the latter passed her a glass of water. “En route to running an errand. Then I remembered that you might be at home right now, so I thought of visiting.”

“En route?” There was no way the Tremont Estate could be “en route” of any trip because its location was not along any freeway or oft-traveled roads. It was such a staple of Helen’s excuses, but Arianne chose to let it slide. “So, is everything going well? How’s your company doing?”

Helen paused for a moment before replying, “It’s fine. My business is a small-fry compared to Tremont Enterprise, so I’m happy just to make enough money for life. Seeing you living comfortably and happily is a great relief.”

The two of them rarely sat down for a good chat, so it did not take a long time before the conversation grounded into an awkward halt, as neither side had any topic to add. Being a businesswoman who had been to many kinds of events, Helen never lacked in gab, yet her skill always seemed to be on a hiatus whenever she talked to Arianne.

Meanwhile, Arianne herself was never that much of a conversationalist. That trait then exacerbated the awkwardness.
