A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1740 Sensitive Question
Melanie was not able to recall when she had ever said that. “When did I ever say that?! Don’t you feel disgusted at having a child with someone you don’t love?! I’m grateful enough that you’ve allowed me to give birth to Millie. Stop it… Let go of me!”Alejandro let out a sigh by Mealnie’s ear. “I don’t know whether it’s love or not either, but I… don’t want to leave…”Melanie’s arms lost their strength as she gave up struggling. ‘He doesn’t know if it’s love or not… But he doesn’t want to leave… Can’t he leave…?On the way home, Melanie’s head remained low as she held onto Millie, afraid that someone might be able to see whatever she was thinking. When she recalled what had just happened in the office, she still felt as if she were in a dream. From the moment she had left to meet Alejandro earlier, her mind had been in turmoil. However, she was still spacing out at that moment.‘Alejandro’s been gloomy for the past few days, yet now he’s all smiles and seems to be in a good mood.’

Melanie suddenly laughed. “It’s fine, I understand what you meant. We… haven’t gotten a divorce. The divorce papers have been signed, but he ended up tearing them apart afterward. He seemed to have changed his mind when he found out that it wasn’t me who pushed you. I have no idea what’s going on in his mind. I even thought… that he wouldn’t let me off the hook even if he found out that it was my brother who’d done it.”Tiffany patted her chest as she heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s impossible! I think you should’ve told him the truth long ago. Alejandro isn’t that kind of person; he definitely wouldn’t have vented his anger on you if you weren’t a part of it. Furthermore, whatever that’s happened between me and him is long but buried in the past, so there’s no way he would seek revenge on my behalf! Although he’s now become Alejandro Smith, I still vaguely understand his temper from when he was still Ethan Connor. Since the both of you aren’t divorced, then you should live together

It was considered to be Millie’s first visit there, so she was a little shy. She felt curious and wanted to play when she saw the various items in the patio that seemed fun to play with, yet she was afraid to do so at the same time. It was not until Arianne had come out to welcome them and gotten Smore to bring Millie to play along that the latter became a little more courageous.From the moment Melanie entered Tremont Estate, Arianne could tell that she had visited her for a reason, so she asked Mary to brew some tea. Then, both she and Melanie sat by the tea table in the patio as they casually talked. “What’s the matter? I know that the situation within the Larks doesn’t look too good, so you must be feeling bad as well.”Melanie lowered her eyes. “Honestly… There’s nothing much for me to feel bad about. I am troubled by the amount of pressure my family is putting on me, but I can’t be bothered with how the Larks end up. Arianne, I still want to get a divorce.”Arianne’s eyes trem
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1743 Alejandro Has No Propriety
Arianne was well aware of an old saying where you should not interfere with someone else’s lives. However, since she was also a woman, she was also well aware about how painful it would be to live with a man who did not love his other half forever. ‘Does Alejandro love Melanie? The answer is very obvious: most likely not. How lucky would Melanie have to be to receive a happy ending in a relationship that has been built up on benefits?’In the end, Arianne painstakingly advised, “Melanie, I’m sure you know Alejandro’s personality by now. If he really refuses to let you leave, you won’t be able to leave regardless. He'll make sure that you wouldn’t even be able to step foot out of the Capital. Why don’t you do this: have a proper discussion with him after the matter with the Larks has ended, all right? Also… He isn’t going after the Larks because of Tiffany. She has both me and Jackson supporting her, so there’s no need for him to be involved with her. Therefore, he should be doing it…
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1744 Melanie Feels Tired
Melanie gave her full understanding to Alejandro. “It’s fine, this is how he’s been living all this time. He’s never called to tell me if he was going to be home for dinner since I’m normally always at home. Sorry for bothering you today. I’ll be leaving with Millie now, Mark, Arianne.”Mark slightly nodded his head in acknowledgement. Arianne got up and sent Melanie out. “Remember what I told you. You should calm down and have a long, hard thought about it these next few days. Divorce isn’t a simple matter. You wouldn’t want to regret it later on.”Melanie nodded her head and got into her car with Millie.Arianne returned to the dining table after seeing that Melanie’s car had gone off into the distance. Just as she was about to eat, Mark grumbled as he said, “I seem to recall that I would always call if I wasn’t going to be home for dinner, right?Arianne raised an eyebrow as she said, “That’s right, I wasn’t even referring to you just now. What made you think I was?”Mark could

After that, Alejandro carried Millie outside without saying another word.While they ate, Melanie casually asked, “How are things with the Larks?”Alejandro answered back just as casually, “We’re currently in the midst of discussing their acquisition. They aren’t letting up at the moment, but I think they won’t be able to continue holding on much longer.”Then, Melanie remained silent. Alejandro suddenly asked, “That’s it? I thought you would’ve said something else.”Melanie snickered. “What else can I say? It’s their own fault that things have developed up to this stage. Even if you hadn’t stepped in, Jackson probably wouldn’t have gone easy on them either. I’m not that saintly; I can’t even say what’s going to happen to me, let alone worry about them. Moreover… Even if I begged you, you wouldn’t help the Larks anyway, so what’s there for me to say when I already know the outcome? Even if you help me defend the Larks, they’re still in the wrong, so if you go up against the Wests a
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1746 Why Would A Woman Not Want To Have A Child?
When Melanie saw Alejandro approaching her, she instinctively avoided him just as she felt his breath on her lips. “I’m tired, I would like to get some sleep. You’ve probably got a lot to do in the office tomorrow as well, don’t you? Get some rest.”Alejandro lowered his raised hand. “Fine…”He had never liked to fulfill his urges by force.When Arianne arrived at her office on Monday, she received Sylvain’s invitation. He and Robin were going to be married soon. Just as Arianne received the invitation, Sylvain emphasized as he said, “I was already planning to do this, not trying to rush behind you and Mr. Tremont. Whatever happened at your wedding was purely an accident… Don’t take it to heart.”Arianne glared at Sylvain. “Do I seem like the kind who would overthink things? I think my wedding with Mark was rather perfect; there’s nothing for me to regret about since he put in his all. As for Tiffany's accident, it doesn’t matter to me in the slightest. Relax, I’ll definitely be th
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1747 A Question of Posterity
Helpless, Arianne relented and accepted her mission.It was time for lunch. She declined Mark’s invitation and dragged Robin to a cozy little Chinese restaurant for the break.After taking their seats and making their orders, Arianne feigned her tone to be non-committal as she asked, “So… How come you and Sylvain haven’t tried adding members to the family yet? He’s more than old enough to be a father while you’re just the right age. You know what it’s like: better have children early while the body’s at its prime than to wait until you’re thirty-odd years old and life’s fraught with uncertainties. By then, your body’s state might not be as optimum for childbearing, too.”Robin was a little skeptical of her intention. “Hey… Wait a minute. This isn’t because Sylvain’s asking, is it?”Arianne’s mind scrambled in slight panic, but outwardly, she doubled down on her pretense of casualness. “Wha-wha-what? Oh, nooooo. Why would he make me ask you something like that? Noooo way. I was just

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
