Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 946

His greatest saving grace? This was her first time seeing him display such immense guilt over all of his mistakes in the past. She felt compelled to hold him.

She gazed at Aristotle, who was still full of energy, and suggested, “Maybe… We can try handing Aristotle over to Mary? He’s not sleepy yet, so he probably won’t fuss.”

It took Mark a while before he understood what Arianne meant. Usually, he would have to force that little third wheel away. Today, it was a rare sight for her to take the initiative. Of course, he was happy. “Okay. Take him. I’ll wait for you in the bedroom.”

Arianne blushed as she carried Aristotle away. She found Mary and tried her best to look as normal as possibly. She tried her best to regulate her breathing. “Mary, could you take care of Smore for now? I’ll take him to bed later.”

Mary happily accepted Aristotle into her arms. “Sure. It’s fine. Come over for him later. He’s not sleepy yet, so I’ll take him for a walk around the garden. He’ll get sick too easily if he’s always cooped up at home.”

Arianne nodded, turned around, and headed upstairs. She guiltily locked the door when she entered the room. Mark saw this and chuckled. “Who are you so afraid of? No one will come in when I’m home. Don’t worry.”

She stared coyly at Mark, who was on the bed. “It just doesn’t feel right to leave Smore like that…”

He knew that she would feel conflicted. “He sleeps with us every night anyway. Why are you worried? We need time to ourselves too, don’t we? We’ve gone through so much in the past that we haven’t had any proper time to ourselves, and we haven’t been able to spend any time together after he was born. Half of our lives are squandered. Come here.”

Arianne took a deep breath and relaxed. She walked to him and sat on his lap, just like how she used to when she was a child. He looked the same as ever. The only difference was, she wasn’t small enough to curl into his chest like she used to.
