Alejandro licked the corner of his lips before an indecipherable smile took shape. “Jett, ready the car. We’re heading to the Tremont Enterprise.”He was going to get that contract done—of that, he was certain!Jett thought his ears were deceiving him. “Excuse me, but did you say… Tremont Enterprise? Where Mark Tremont is?” he blurted out. “Aren’t you trying to evade him, sir? Why are you showing up right on his doorstep now?”Alejandro flashed him a sly smile. “There was a legitimate reason in the past to evade him, but now, I have nothing to fear. There’s no need to hide anymore. Let’s go.”Jett glanced at the baby in his arms. “Are we bringing the little miss with us? Is… Is that appropriate?”He waved in dismissal. “Bah, take her with us. It’s not like we have anywhere else to place her.”They reached the Tremont Tower soon enough, and since they did not schedule an appointment beforehand, Alejandro was expectantly barred from entering the premises.Alejandro was not at all perturb

Alejandro understood Mark immediately and chuckled in response. “O-ho, all I know is that Arianne isn’t in the Capital for the time being. Why is the pot, who also spies on me regularly, so mad at the kettle?”He was not wrong. Both Mark and Alejandro had their eyes on each other’s every movement at all times. Mark was not in the mood to refute him or continue giving him attention, so he turned to the document in his hand.Unfortunately, Baby Melissa’s incessant bawls were so shrill and grating that it became a challenge just to stay focused. Frustrated, Mark looked up and snapped, “Can you shut your kid up? I can’t believe someone like you could live long enough to become a father. It’s like God wasn’t watching the world at all!”Alejandro frowned. “Wow, do you kiss your wife with that mouth? What, I can’t be a father too? Even if I don’t deserve to be one, well, I am one now; what are you gonna do about that? Besides, you’re just as ill-deserving of fatherhood, yet here you are!”

After signing the contract and changing the baby’s diapers, Alejandro left. He didn’t stay a minute longer. However, Mark felt a sense of gloom.“Are you sure you want to work with the Smiths?” Davy asked carefully. “Isn’t it a big risk? He’s been going against us ever since his arrival in the capital. He’s fought with us over property countless times. I’m worried that he might have an ulterior motive.”Mark took a deep breath. “I have a plan. That’s all.”Alejandro was in a great mood when he arrived back in the car. Jett felt that it was an early celebration. “Sir, aren’t you worried that Tremont Enterprises might find a different transport company? That wasn’t an exclusive contract. Wouldn’t that contract be wasted then?”Alejandro wasn’t worried at all. “I’d love to see which transport company would have the balls to pick a fight with me. I’ve considered everything that you could think of. Let’s go home.”He knew that at this very moment, Melanie was with Tiffany.It was lunc
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1337 Melanie Finds Out Too
Melanie’s eyes brimmed with tears. “I know, I can feel it. That’s why I can’t seem to hate you. But he can’t forget you. What can I do? I knew when he risked his life to save you that I’d lost. Grandfather has passed away anyway, so I’m not afraid of saying this. It was grandfather—he tried to kill you. Grandfather hoped that Alejandro would dedicate himself to me and support the Smith. He was worried that you might become an obstacle, so that’s why he made that decision. At the time, I was the only one who knew about this, aside from grandfather. I didn’t want you to be hurt because of this, and Alejandro would be affected too so I told him about it. I didn’t expect that he would risk everything just to save you… I took care of him, whose legs were inconvenienced by that accident, for so long after that accident, but I was hurting the entire time because it was all for you…”Tiffany felt upset. She was completely unaware of this. She was moved when she found out that Alejandro had ri

Just then, the waitress served the dishes. Melanie nodded. “Please, eat. You have to get back to work later, don’t you? Enjoy your food, then go back to work. I’m going to meet Alex at this office. I hope that we can still be friends.”Tiffany smiled in a carefree manner. “Of course, we’ve always been friends. It’s good that it’s now out in the open. I’m not a petty person. I won’t think the worst of people.”The pair separated after lunch and Melanie drove to Smith Enterprises’ office.She had a very grim look on her face when she left the house, with negative vibes swirling all over her body. Now, she looked radiant.She felt guilty over her quarrel with Alejandro this morning, so she brought some desserts. She wasn’t sure if Alejandro liked desserts, but she believed that something sweet could always put someone in a good mood.She found Jett watching over a sleeping Melissa when she arrived at the office. Alejandro was busy. She strode forward and put down the desserts. “Jett,

Melanie left after receiving his reply.Jett and Alejandro stared blankly at each other when she left, obviously sharing the same thought—Melanie had most likely taken the wrong medication today. Jett cleared his throat. “Maybe she has cleared her head and isn’t depressed anymore. It’s good. Women tend to have a habit of doing that. They can change their minds faster than flipping the page of a book.”“Is your wife like that too?” Alejandro asked apprehensively. “How have you managed to stay sane?” “She isn’t,” Jett answered with a straight face. “Tanya’s pretty good. She has a great personality and has never sulked at me. We’ve never even had a fight.”Alejandro curled his lips. “Alright, stop boasting. I don’t want much from Melanie, as long as she doesn’t start a fight with me for no good reason. I can’t stand it when women nitpick, like they have nothing better to do. One more thing, you can go straight home after dropping me off at the manor from now on. Things are different
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1340 Apprehension At Smith Manor
Arianne ended the video call with a smile, leaving Mark with a sniffling Aristotle, staring at each other. Both father and son looked like two pitiful abandoned pets—misery loves company.Meanwhile, Alejandro had returned to the manor too.Dinner was ready. Melanie was still wearing her apron. It looked like she had cooked everything herself. She smiled when she saw Alejandro and Jett. “Wash up, it’s time for dinner. I cooked everything myself today. Try it. Jett, please join us.”She cooked? Was this the pampered Lark heiress? Alejandro frowned and said nothing. He went to the washroom straightaway.“Uh… Madam, I think I’d better go home for dinner,” Jett said. “I won’t be staying here from now on. Goodbye.”Melanie didn’t stop him. “Alright, you go on home then. Don’t let Tanya wait too long. It’s good to stay at home; it’s more convenient.”At the dinner table, Melanie scooped dishes for Alejandro from time to time. None of the dishes were spicy, even though she favored flavor

Alejandro drew a quick, shallow breath before proclaiming, “You’re overthinking. It doesn’t matter if I did it as Alejandro Smith or Ethan Connor; I am me. I am the one who married you, and I’m the one who fathered our daughter. In similar veins, our marriage is true.”It was the first time Melanie ever felt assured. If he was not going to abandon her, then perhaps all she needed was time to win the rest of him.…Despite planning for a week-long break, Arianne departed home on the fifth day.She initially thought of resolving as much café-related work as she could within this week, but she missed Smore more and more terribly as time passed. In the end, she decided to hand the job to Naya since she was free enough to watch the café’s renovation during the day.Arianne had already finalized the café’s renovation plan and addressed all of its finer details, so all Naya had to do was stick to it.It was already the wee hours by the time Arianne reached the Tremont Estate. Mark and S

Arianne had not heard that name for so long, she had to reel back in bemusement for a few seconds before finally remembering her face.Shelly-Ann Leigh… She must have spent all those years in the mental institution, right? God knows if the woman’s hair was now grey and white all over.When someone was near death, one could stand to forgive all of the history between them—even the dark ones, even if the ledger was brimming—for good. So, Arianne replied, “I’ll go with you. No matter what happened, she’s still your mother.”Mark did not expect that answer from her at all. In his surprise, he bent down and left a kiss on her lips. “I knew I picked the right woman as my wife. I thought you wouldn’t agree to let me accompany her for the last of her days…”Arianne replied nothing. She was not so obtuse that she would try to win over a woman whose days were numbered. No matter how much of an a**hole Shelly was, Arianne was still the one who came out on top. That victory was all she needed.

Arianne sneered. “You confused, little thing. I wouldn’t be daft enough to anger the mother of the man I like if I were you, girl. I would especially not say anything as low IQ as that, too. Let me be completely frank with you: no one who bears the surname of Leigh will ever get the better of me—the last one failed. Hard. I can guarantee that you’ll leave us in the span of three days. If I lose, you can stay here forever. Wanna bet? I dare you.”She left her threat hanging at that and turned her wheelchair away, leaving the scorned young woman behind.Rage came out of Raven as waves of quakes all over her body. She was lurching close to hyperventilation, but right before it became impossible to stop, she came around and battled herself to calm down. She had a feeling that even if she fainted right there and then, no one would discover her, would they?Now that Arianne and Mark had returned, the Tremont Estate had recovered its vivacity and life. It had become merry.And Raven Leigh

Melissa was the type who always pushed things to go as festive as logically possible. She leaped to her feet and raised her cup, “Yo, everyone! Let’s toast to Cindy becoming my cousin-in-law!”The crowd answered enthusiastically with their cups in the air and a roar—except Raven, who remained seated. “I have a sickly constitution. I can’t drink. I’m sorry.”Her smile was so mechanical, her face too ashen. Something flickered in Arianne’s eyes before she replied, “Sure.”After the revelry faded, Arianne steered her wheelchair to the courtyard. The outward appearance of the Tremont Estate seemed to have frozen in time, which was why being here made her feel so… safe.Of course, that was despite Henry and Mary’s passing. In the end, time passed and things changed, characters and objects came and went, and all these missing years left lingering regrets in their wake.Arianne espied the silhouette standing alone at a distance and approached her, sighing, “Nothing beats being home.”Ra

Arianne grabbed the two beauties by the hands and smiled. “Thank you! Gosh, to me… it’s like you two have grown older in the blink of an eye! How gorgeous the two of you are! Cindy, where’s your brother? Plato hasn’t come home yet?”Mentioning the name of her dear brother made Cynthia pout. “He said he was coming home half a month ago—that’s what he said. Who knows what he’s actually doing, though? Anyway, who cares about that no-good. He’s always like this anyway. Oh, um, the weather is quite hot. We should probably get inside.”Arianne nodded and shot a brief, uneasy look at Aristotle. Not once did he look like he wanted to talk to her… Could the boy be counting his grievances in his mind? Mark and Arianne had stayed in Switzerland for so long; life must have been hard for him all alone.It took until she reached the living room to finally notice Raven. “Millie, is this your younger sister?”Melissa quickly sprung to correct her. “What? Noooo. This is Ares’ classmate or something

Aristotle’s entire being stilled.He had waited for this news for nineteen years. As time passed, the flames died little by little, the heart grew more numb, until the very thought of it was no different from a pipe dream. But today, news of it coming true reached him and plunged him into a torrent of feelings.A long while later, he finally muttered under his breath, “When… When will they be back?”Jackson closed the distance between them and gave the young man a light, comforting pat on the shoulders. “Not so soon, I bet; not when your mother has just woken up and is in need of some time to recover. She did sleep for nineteen years, you know. So maybe after she’s recuperated enough for a while…” he answered. “We’ve waited for nineteen years for this, right? What’s waiting for just a little bit more compared to that? The most important thing for you to do is to manage the company to the best of your abilities. That’s the way to not disappoint your father’s expectation.”Aristotle

Cynthia had never had a relationship before, so she did not know what love was. However, one thing was for certain. She loved the feeling of being with Aristotle and how he had protected her since they were kids. Even though Aristotle had become a little domineering and “naughty”, she was not taken aback by him. Instead, she even felt a little moved, which was amazing.It wasn’t known how they ended up in bed, with their breaths synchronized. Apart from the final step, they had done just about everything else that could be done.Just as they were about to hit the final step, Aristotle suddenly stopped and helped pull the covers over Cynthia. “Let’s sleep, good night.”Cynthia was still lost in a daze from before. She did not know why Aristotle had suddenly stopped, nor did she have the courage to ask him. She had struggled for so long before having persuaded herself to go with the flow…The next day, when Cynthia woke up, Aristotle had already long gone to his company.She took a

Cynthia heard what Aristotle said, but her hands did not stop doing what they were doing. Her head was in a complete mess. “There’s no… no need. I’ll be able to be done with these now. Go ahead and get some sleep first. By the way, where am I sleeping tonight? There are so many rooms here, I’ll ask Agnes to help me clear one up.”Aristotle walked up to her and squatted. He grabbed onto her arm with one hand while the other closed the luggage. “Just sleep with me here and stop tidying already.”Cynthia suspected that she might have misheard. She took a look at the big bed behind him in a daze and suddenly felt her palm, which was held by him, burning up. “Y… You’re kidding, aren’t you, Ares? Although we used to sleep with each other a lot when we were kids, we’re all grown ups now, so wouldn’t that be a little inappropriate?”Aristotle said with a straight face, “I wasn't joking.”Cynthia panicked a little and recalled Melissa’s words once again. ‘Would Ares, whom I’ve known for so

Melissa knew that Aristotle had kissed Cynthia, so she knew what was going on. Hence, she very naturally boasted, “Of course, they’ve been engaged to each other since they were born. Coincidentally, the both of them felt the same way about each other as they grew up, so wouldn’t this make it even better? From the way I see it, your illness isn’t going to recover for the rest of your life and the both of them are probably going to have to wait until Cindy graduates before they get married. So, you’d be better off moving back to France as early as possible. Don’t worry, you’ve saved Aristotle’s life before, so he wouldn’t be stingy with you financially.”Raven wanted to control the unhappiness she had in her heart very much, but her emotions refused to follow her will. Hence, she fiercely struggled to wring free from Melissa’s grasp. Melissa was startled for a moment. “Are you crazy?”After that, Raven regained her senses and took a deep breath. “I’m sorry… I was a little unwell just n
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1893 Won’t Your Fiance Get Jealous?
‘You’re not that worried?’ Melissa was so furious that she laughed. “Am I the only one who’s being worried for nothing? I thought you loved my brother, didn’t you? The man you’ve been dreaming of every day has returned from France but brought a woman with him, yet you’re actually not that worried? Let’s put aside your parents’ intentions for a moment. Do you dare to say that you don’t love him? I’m only helping you because you’re my best friend, so could you not be so relaxed, as if I’m helping you for no reason?”Cynthia shook her head and lowered her volume as she said, “He… might have confessed to me. We also… did that already. So, I think he doesn’t feel that way towards Raven. It’s purely because she saved his life once. I trust that Ares will be able to handle the situation properly.”Melissa’s eyes opened wide. “What? He’s only returned for a few days, yet the two of you have already had sex? That fast?! I never knew it, but you’ve really got it in you!”Cynthia’s face flushe
