A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 71 You Are Not Fit To Sleep In This Room
Arienne got up and went upstairs, but stopped again when she was in front of Mark’s room.While Arienne was hesitating, Butler Henry pushed open the door, leaving no room for her to mentally prepare herself.She reflexively averted her gaze from the room. How would she react if she saw something she shouldn’t?“Sir, madam isn’t in good health, so she needs to rest now. Please send the insignificant person to the guest room.” Butler Henry’s tone was humble, yet carried the weight of authority.Mark was smoking a cigarette on the chair before the French window. He merely cast a silent glance at Arianne.“Who are you calling insignificant?” Aery was quick to retort. “Mark dear is still smoking. If you don’t feel well, then why don’t you sleep in the guest room, big sis?”Arienne said nothing. She only looked at Mark.Butler Henry gently nudged her into the room. It was his silent push that reminded Arienne that she shouldn’t continue being a coward. “You’re not fit to sleep in this
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 72 An Impromptu Travel
Mark mistook her confusion for hope. The anger in his eyes burned even more intensely. He clenched his hands into fists before silently unclenching them again. In the end, he left and slammed the door behind him.As his car drove away from Tremont Estate, Arianne sat on the cold floor with her back against the bedside. She hugged her legs and buried her face in her knees. Maybe that would take some of her loneliness away...Mary came back three days later. “Ari, why did sir choose to go on a business trip during New Years Eve? Didn’t you try persuading him to set aside work for a bit? You must be feeling lonely now that you’re left all alone.”Arianne sat on the sofa and didn’t reply to her. All of a sudden, her phone rang. It was a greeting message from Eric, and a holiday bonus sum attached along with it.Arianne didn’t accept the money. She only replied to him with a smiley face emoticon and attached her letter of resignation. She turned her gaze back to the magazine in her hand

Before she could regain her senses, Mark pounced forward and pressed against her lips. “I won’t allow it. You cannot leave! You are not allowed to leave my sight!” he whispered hoarsely, brushing his lip against hers.Arianne wanted to explain that she was merely heading out to relax and enjoy the art exhibition, but he didn’t give her the chance. She could tell that Mark was sick, and it was pretty severe too.His mind was slightly muddled. With him holding her down, she lost all means of resistance. Then, just as she was about to suffocate, he finally moved his lips down to her neck… She gasped, her breathing growing unstable. “Mark… You’re sick, let’s go to the hospital… Stop it…”He ignored her as if he didn’t hear her at all.Arianne’s mind was in a blur. In the end, he did not let her get away… Would he be disgusted by her filth when he returned to sobriety?He finally collapsed into sleep when the storm ended, still lying on top of her...She found it very hard to brea
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 74 An Art Studio
Arianne got off the bed, enduring the discomfort she felt. She grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom to change. By the time she got out, Mark had already finished packing and was waiting at the door.His gaze sunk when he noticed her slightly unusual walk. His expression turned cold as well, and his thoughts were unfathomable.Arianne kept dozing off on the plane but was afraid of touching Mark if she fell asleep. She could tell he was in a bad mood. He had not confronted her over her unapproved trip to Ayashe.Upon his return to the Tremont Estate, Mark immediately went back to his bathroom to take a shower. “When did he arrive home?” Arianne softly asked Mary.Mary stared blankly at her. “Sir never came back at all. He just arrived today.”Arianne was feeling slightly annoyed. She shouldn’t have told Eric about her intentions for resignation. He must have leaked that piece of information. She hadn’t thought of this at the time. She thought, knowing her current relations
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 75 Fashion Show
She took off her jacket and washed her hands before going back to the bedroom. She even sniffed herself to check if there was any leftover stench on her, afraid that he would hate her for it.Her carefulness had been established since she was eight years old.The faint smell of tobacco greeted her when she opened the door. “What is it?” she asked with a frown.Mark was standing in front of the French windows, looking out at the snow. His light grey tailored suit set off his tall, straight figure very well. Even his back seemed attractive. “My company will be organizing a fashion show at six tonight. Your designs will be there. You can go if you like.”Her designs? The only decent work she’s done were the wedding dress designs that he had criticized, right? Finished products were certainly released very quickly. “I’m going,” Arianne replied gleefully.He didn’t have much to say. He lifted his hand, put it to his lips and coughed twice. “Are you still sick?” she asked after a pause.
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 76 The Finale Piece
Arianne seemed blissfully unaware that she was being watched. She was surrounded by many gasps and compliments, and she felt as if her ears had developed calluses from the sheer amount of them. The bridal show was during the latter segment of the fashion show. She took twelve minutes to brace herself and waited for her design to appear on the runway. Although she wasn’t part of the manufacturing process, she was the “biological mother”.Minutes and seconds passed, and the show was nearly its end. She was beginning to feel skeptical; her design couldn’t possibly have been put in the finale, right? After all, she wasn’t a member of Mark Tremont’s company. However, if it wasn’t in the finale, did that mean that Mark was toying with her?Suddenly, the music changed from a rhythmic tempo to a melodious tune. A tall, slender and fair-skinned model dressed in white slowly strutted onto the runway. Arianne gasped. ‘That’s my design… It really is the finale piece!’The bridal gown was long a
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 77 Motion Sickness
Arianne’s phone received a flurry of messages ever since Tiffany walked out. Just as the pair plunged into a heated discussion over text, Mark suddenly said, “Focus on your food.”Arianne swiftly sent Tiffany a “shh” emoji, then put her phone away. She picked up her cutlery and obediently focused on her meal. Her movements were so smooth that there wasn’t a single flaw, very similar to how she reacted whenever he scolded her during meals or whenever she was playing with toys.He was slightly entranced by the sight of her reaction… The memories of his past with her seemed to be solely filled with hatred…Arianne noticed Mark’s gaze and grew wary. “What is it…?”Mark turned away and poured her a glass of wine.She was shocked. He never drank wine with her…After two seconds of hesitation, she clinked her glass with his.Just as she was sipping on her wine, Mark suddenly asked, “Do you know what day it is?”Having learned her lesson from the last time she had forgotten his birthda
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 78 Intoxicated Words
By the time they finally returned to Tremont Estate, Arianne was pretty much half hanging onto Mark Tremont. Upon seeing this, Mary quickly prepared a hot towel and followed them upstairs. She couldn’t bother about so much when her heart ached. “How did this happen? Madam can’t hold her liquor…”Mark Tremont didn’t speak. Mary handed him the hot towel. “Sir, I’ll leave madam to you. I’ll go down now.”He nodded and carefully wiped Arienne’s face. She cooperatively lifted her head so that he could wipe it. “Wipe it clean… He doesn’t like dirty things… Hurry up!”Mark Tremont’s hands paused then his lips involuntarily curled into a smile.The moment only lasted for two seconds before Arienne quickly pushed him away. “That won’t do… I have to remove my makeup…” Fortunately, she still remembered that she had makeup on her.The drunk Arienne wouldn’t let him help, so he could only follow behind her and watch over her until she was done. The moment her legs gave way beneath her, Mark Tr

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
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1897 A Queen’s Return
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
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1896 You Mom’s Woken Up!
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
