Chapter 1524 The Miserable

Sylvain's patience was approaching the end of his tether. The impulse to storm out of the restaurant with Robin was ballooning within him, but still, he pressed it back as hard as he could.Ursula, however, took Sylvain's lack of outward reaction as a victory. Beaming a little, she continued, "Now, I heard from Syl that you two aren't living together. Why is that? Aren't you married to him? Or are you such a homebody that you can't bear to part with your family, huh?"Robin was hardpressed to answer her, but she was well aware that she could never divulge the truth. She could not possibly tell her that one of the Coxes were not exactly approving of Sylvain, could she? Admitting to that was like begging for Ursula to hate her even more. "Um, it's not that…"Sylvain took note of her misery and rescued her by answering his mother himself. "It's because her place is closer to her office, alright? Honestly, does it matter where we live? I'm gonna have to ask you again: lay off your hands

Chapter 1525 Sylvain, Suffering

Robin patted his back gently. “Shh, hey. I can assure you, I’m fine. I can’t find it in me to fight her because I know why she acts this way. She blames me for sabotaging the chance of you getting with her stepdaughter, and now, I guess she thinks I ruined her marriage. Of course, it was well within your choice and no fault of ours,” she comforted. “All I know is that I married you, and I’ll gladly live the rest of my life with you. I don’t care about what other people think; their opinions are trivial. But I think that’s enough for a day, agreed? Have a good night’s sleep, and tomorrow is a fresh, new start. I’ll come over and keep you company for the weekend. How’s that sound?”Sylvain tightened his embrace, not letting go. “But I don’t want you to go. Please… stay with me, Robin. We want a kid of our own, don’t we? If you’re pregnant, maybe your mom will stop making you live with them, and maybe… I… Sigh. I just want us to live together, you know? A life of two. I don’t wanna be al

Chapter 1526 Sylvain’s Headache

Just then, Arianne walked over. “Sure, I’ll pour it for you. What’s up with you? You look terrifying. You’re all pale. Are you not feeling well? You should see a doctor if you’re not feeling well. Don’t push yourself.”Sylvain was in too much pain to speak. He threw himself against the office desk, desperately trying to hold it in.He finished his warm water, then finally regained some semblance of vitality after a long pause. Arianne had been observing him. When she saw his pallor return to normal, she finally asked, “What’s wrong?”He shook his head. “I don’t know either. It’s probably because I didn't have a good night’s sleep last night, so I’m having a bit of a headache. It hurt really badly this morning. I’m fine now, it’s alright. We use a lot of brains as fashion designers, probably too much. This isn’t the first time. I’ve had a lot of headaches previously, but this one’s a lot worse. I just need a good rest.”Arianne was still worried. “When was the last time you had a me

Chapter 1527 Meet Auntie Shelly-Ann

When she turned her gaze towards the woman, she was stunned. She was beautiful, so beautiful that she felt slightly inferior. Her only point of pride was probably her youth at this point. The woman carried the exclusive bearing of a mature woman. She was over at least thirty years old. She wore a tight-fitting top, her sleeves made of a half-transparent organza. There was an opening on her shoulders that exposed her pretty shoulders, making them seem particularly enticing. Her skin was fair and exquisite. Her white, wide-legged pants made her legs seem extremely long. She was dressed in white, which did not seem too fancy, but one simply couldn’t tear their eyes away from her.The makeup on the woman’s face was very light too. She used cold and dull tones. This was probably why the smile on the woman’s face didn’t seem warm enough, no matter how warm her smile truly was.Before Arianne could react, Mark suddenly waved at her and said, “Come here, let me introduce you. This is my aunt

Chapter 1528 A New Problem On The Horizon

Arianne immediately felt something faintly indescribably. However, she couldn’t detect anything strange on Shelly-Ann and Mark’s faces. Shelly-Ann maintained a gentle smile on her face the entire time, but her eyes showed no signs of a smile. They immediately gave off a sense of estrangement.When Mark and Shelly-Ann left along with Aristotle, Arianne felt empty. She pestered Mary with questions on Shelly-Ann. “Where did this aunt come from? I thought there was no one left in the Tremont family…”“The Tremont family members may be gone, but his aunt is from the maternal side of his family,” Mary answered helplessly. “Both sides of the family can’t possibly be extinct, can they? Honestly, I haven’t seen her around that much. I met her once when Mr. Tremont was born, and twice before then. Honestly, humans are so different. She looks just as young as she used to be. It’s been so many years since then, yet she doesn’t seem to have aged at all. She’s only a few years younger than the old

Chapter 1529 It’s Cosmetic Surgery, Baby

The next day, there was an extra passenger on the way to the office.Shelly-Ann had insisted on going through normal procedures for a job offer in Mark’s company and had refused nepotism. This was the complete opposite of Arianne’s request to give Robin a position in the company.Now, Arianne discovered that gorgeous Aunt Shelly was also extraordinarily capable. She was highly educated and experienced. She majored in many different things. She could easily get most jobs in Tremont Enterprises and didn’t need nepotism at all.On this day, all of Tremont Enterprises was abuzz—there was another woman by Mark Tremont’s side! He even greeted her and sent her off personally.“Who is that woman?” Sylvain asked Arianne, unable to help himself. “Why are you so calm about this? Don’t you feel threatened at all?”Arianne sat in her office chair and calmly replied, “She’s his aunt. She looks thirty, but she’s actually around forty to fifty years old. Why should I feel threatened? She looks ex

Chapter 1530 Your Aunt Doesn’t Like Me

Brian took Aristotle away when they arrived. This was Shelly-Ann’s first trip to a beauty parlor since her return to the country. She applied for a card with ease; it was clear that she had done a lot of beauty maintenance when she lived outside of the country too.Shelly-Ann frowned when they entered the private room. “Did you have barbecue this afternoon? The smell is a little strong.”Arianne felt awkward. “Yes…” Her entire body was covered with the smell of a barbecue grill. It was a stark contrast to Shelly-Ann’s body fragrance. The barbecue grill smell on Arianne wasn’t bad. It was just that… she smelled like food.When the pair lay down for their facial, Shelly-Ann suddenly asked, “How long have you been with Mark?”Arianne was shocked. Didn’t Mark mention that? However, she had to answer, “We’ve lived together for more than ten years, but if you consider when we really started living together… It’s been a few years.”Shelly-Ann paused then said, “I can tell that he really

Chapter 1531 Sleeping With Your Rival

Mark planted a kiss on her forehead. “What are you talking about? She doesn’t dislike you, silly. She even told me that you two visited the beauty salon together just earlier today! Frankly, I think you’re just not used to her yet. Give it some time; it will get better, you’ll see. She’s really an easy person to get along with.”Arianne was hard-pressed to answer him. She was averse to going against Mark’s rosy-colored impression of his surviving relative, so she kept quiet and hoped that he was right about things getting better.While her head was still in a knot, Mark’s had moved on to somewhere else. His lips fell onto hers.She shut her eyes, savoring it gladly. The air became warmer and warmer—until a series of rapping on the door grated against the buildup.Mark frowned. “Who is it?”Shelly’s voice came through the door. “I-It’s me, Mark. It’s pouring outside, and there’s this dreadful thunder right now. It’s affecting my sleep. See, I have a bit of a nervous condition, dear

Chapter 1532 Dawn Of The In-Laws Bickering

Mark’s answer flowed out of him in a heartbeat. “Of course! She’s our guest. We can’t leave her at home while we have an enjoyable dinner outside, can we? Let’s bring Smore with us later this evening, too! Oh, the joy of a family dinner!”Arianne let out a drawn-out sigh and closed her eyes. Nope, she would not waste any more time talking if she could use it for sleeping. Mark could do whatever he fancied, for all she cared.Arianne’s nap lasted all the way to the late evening, only waking up when Aunt Shelly carried Smore—who, in turn, was brought to the company by Brian—to Mark’s office, introducing quite the commotion in the room.After briefly considering Arianne’s state, Shelly remarked offhandedly, “Hey, I get that you’re awfully tired, but you should take your nap home instead of sleeping in the office. It just doesn’t bode well with the optics. To be clear, as ‘the’ Mrs. Tremont, you don’t actually have a real reason to work, right? So, why keep up a public front of ‘working

Chapter 1533 Hic Sunt Dracones

That's what she said, yet Mark could not help but suspect Arianne for being insincere.Still, it was not like he knew any brilliant way to mediate between the two women, so he gave up with a sigh. “Alright, then. I hope you mean what you said. I guess the point I’m trying to make is that, well, we ought to communicate if we want to stop things from going awry, right? If you’ve got anything you’d like to talk about, just tell me in private. Most importantly, we, uh, should refrain from starting any sort of fights with Aunt Shelly as much as we could, got that? You’re my woman, Arianne, so it goes without saying that I’ll stand with you. But she’s my aunt, too, and someone I highly respect, at that.”Arianne cocked her eyebrow. “Mm-hmm? You don’t say, Mark. I’m not obtuse, you know. Alright, you done being jittery and hinky now? Then go and chat away with your aunt, lest she starts hounding for you. I’m not good at socializing with people of older generations, so I’d appreciate it if y
