Chapter 1634 A Desire For Rebellion

Right now, the one thing that Arianne feared the most was Shelly’s prediction of Mark falling in love with another woman coming true. With someone like Shelly devoting her effort and relentless persuasion into making it happen, who knows if Mark might cave in one day?As though knowing Mark was going to leave, Smore—who should have gone to bed by ten o’clock—had stubbornly stayed up way past bedtime. Even after the clock ticked past eleven and he kept making jaw-breaking yawns, the little boy was adamant about accompanying Mark.Mary had already gone to sleep. She had decided early on to give Arianne and Mark their much-needed alone time, thus leaving Arianne to accompany the man in watching late-night Christmas programs.Unsurprisingly, neither of them was focused on the TV. Their minds were too preoccupied with a plethora of things they had dreamed of telling each other that now, despite the chance presenting itself, neither knew where to start.When it was almost twelve, Mark’s

Chapter 1635 Kids At This Age Aren’t Very Good At Faking, You Know

Mark’s furious backlash was instantaneous. “Are you done manufacturing outrage over nothing?! Because of you, I only got to be with my son for a few measly hours on a Christmas Eve. Is that not enough control for you?! I’ll have you know that Arianne will be bringing Smore to visit Henry tomorrow. Let me put this out there: I’m not afraid of flipping out if you dare make her feel the slightest discomfort. Of course, you’re welcome to test my resolve if you don’t believe me.”“That’s the most ridiculous crap I’ve ever heard this week! Bringing your child to this house on Christmas Day just to see the butler working for the family?” Shelly mocked scornfully. “Or is there yet another hidden agenda, huh? You know what they say—you can never trust a snake!”Mark balled his hands into fists. “It’s not like there’s anyone else worthy of her visit, is there? What, you can’t really be suggesting yourself, can you? Are you even worth the trouble?… No, don’t answer that question; I’m already fa

Chapter 1636 The Cold War On Christmas Day

Arianne herself was just as reluctant to let Shelly be near Smore, so she intuitively backed away as well.Seeing her reaction coupled with Smore’s words was enough to trigger Shelly’s temper. “Gosh, I just love how you brainwashed your child. Taught the boy to address some random, non-blood-related woman as Granny while despising his true biological grandmother, didn’t you? Are you going to teach your son not to recognize Mark as his father next? Just as I thought, allowing you his custody was a grave mistake!”Arianne was not in the mood to clarify, so she replied simply, “We’re here to see Henry.”Shelly turned to Mark and bristled. “You saw what happened with your own eyes, didn’t you? She brought her son back here for a mere butler on Christmas! Isn’t this the most preposterous, asinine bull ever? Just look at how she indoctrinated her son… Tell me, how could you still think she’s beyond reproach, huh?”Mark wrapped his arm around Arianne’s shoulders and led her away to the li

Chapter 1637 Mary Intentionally Offended Shelly-Ann Leigh

Henry returned home shortly after. Mary took out the items that had been bought for Henry. “Henry, Ari has bought these for you. That overcoat is especially nice; I helped pick it myself. You should try it on later.”Arianne felt slightly troubled since Mary was the one who bought it instead of her. Arianne would be placed in a difficult spot if she did not bring any present for Shelly. However, even if she did, Shelly might complain and even criticize the present that had been given. Hence, Arianne thought she might as well not get her anything since she did not need to gain Shelly’s favouritism. Mary only did that to spite Shelly, but she neglected the fact that it would make it difficult for Arianne to escape the inevitable later on.Henry shot a glance at Arianne and noticed that her face had paled. He knew that he should reject the gifts if he did not want Arianne to offend Shelly. However, instead of rejecting it, he smiled happily and said, “In that case, thank you very much

Chapter 1638 “Spring Cleaning”

Mark answered reluctantly, “What are you talking about? Can’t we talk about something else?”Arianne breathed lightly and walked to the patio with Smore in her arms. “Let’s go outside and sit for a while since the weather’s so nice today. It’s a little boring to be sitting inside at the moment.”Mark followed Arianne to the patio, which had previously been decorated according to his preferred taste. However, everything changed shortly after Arianne had left; even the roses that she loved had been replaced by another type of vegetation. Undoubtedly, the interior of the house would very soon be renovated according to Shelly’s style. Arianne suddenly felt that she would not be able to return to Tremont Estate after her recent departure. Even if she did, she would have to return as a guest such as today. The man beside her was no longer related to her legally and everything would be different once he had another woman by his side. The two of them sat opposite each other and suddenly ra

Chapter 1639 Cheers! It’s “Ho Ho Ho” Season

Mark glanced towards the living room and helplessly asked Henry to send off Arianne and the others.He stood where he was, going into deep thought for a long while before he walked towards the living room. “What are you trying to play at? I’ve already told you before not to make things difficult for Arianne. What would you have me do?! Did you come back just to control me? Do you think that you could make me obey your every wishes just because you have some leverage on me? I’ve had enough!”Shelly was in tears when she raised her head and looked at Mark. “Just how bad do you think I am? You think that I’m a bother, that’s fine; I’ll just walk away and not interrupt the two of you. However, here you are, still blaming me when she’s left after she was done eating. Have I done anything? Furthermore, I didn’t stop you from sending her off. She was the one who didn’t want you to do it anyway, correct? Why are you putting that on me? Since you’re already divorced, you shouldn’t be in conta

Chapter 1640 A Potential Daughter-in-law To Her Liking

In order to not leave a good impression of himself on Saoirse, Mark deliberately wore something casual and refused to tidy himself up. It would be best if she did not have a good impression of him.When Mark went downstairs, he casually walked towards the sofa and sat down. Then, he deliberately sized up Saoirse for a moment frivolously, which made him look like a debauchee. “Did you come alone?”Saoirse blushed after being scanned by Mark with his frivolous eyes. She was too nervous to even meet his gaze, which made it obvious that her heart was fluttering. “Y-yes... I was invited over by Mrs. Leigh to visit your house after we met up over a cup of tea a few times previously. That’s why…”Not beating around the bush, Mark said, “How could she be inviting you just to visit our house when she’s clearly asking you to come here for a matchmaking session? I’ve been married once and have a son who’s over two years old, so I have no plans on having another child. Are you happy with that?”

Chapter 1641 Shelly Knows No Promises

When Shelly left to go to the patio, Mark completely lost his patience and said to Saoirse, “We won’t be developing any further. My aunt’s the one who’s been arranging all of this of her own accord.”Saoirse remained silent for a moment before she smiled intimately and said, “I know, you’ve just divorced your ex-wife recently and it’s normal for you to be unable to fully accept it for the time being. However, I’m willing to wait. Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about the matter between us affecting your collaboration with my father since they’re two completely different matters. I can see that you’re in a rather foul mood today, so I won’t interrupt you any further. I’ll see you again next time.”After she said that, Saoirse got up and left. Before she left, she did not forget to bid farewell to Shelly, who was on the patio. Mark quietly sat for a few seconds before he got up and returned to his bedroom.Saoirse was definitely not as innocent and gentle as she seemed. On the

Chapter 1642 Back To Work

The thought of asking Mark what the actual circumstances were did cross Arianne’s mind, but she stopped herself in the end. She figured that if Mark truly did care for her, he would tell her about it himself.However, after a few days had passed, that day did not arrive. In between, aside from Mark casually asking how she was doing, there was nothing else. Initially, Arianne would still reply to him, but that all stopped after a while. Mark had no intention of coming clean… He did not even ring her.When the holidays were over and it was time for her to return to Tremont Enterprise, she was still slightly reluctant to return. What was she supposed to do if she met Mark? Was she supposed to ask him directly or keep quiet and pretend as though nothing had ever happened?Before Arianne could figure out what she should do, she bumped into Mark the moment she arrived at the company’s entrance. He walked towards her as though nothing had happened. “You don’t look well. Did you not sleep w

Chapter 1643 Ring-a-ring-a-rosies

Mark stared at her for a moment with a slightly nervous expression on his face. “We haven’t met for a few days, yet you’re throwing a temper at me the moment we meet again?”Arianne could not stop herself from mocking him. “That’s right, weren’t you occupied with something for the past few days as well?”Mark frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”Arianne turned her head to the side so as not to look at him. “I don’t mean anything. It’s a fact that we’re already divorced. Therefore, I will not care what you choose to do, but you shouldn’t say anything about me meeting other men as well. We shouldn’t be bothered with what the other person does whatsoever. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”Suddenly, Mark was hit with realization as something came across his mind. ‘Could she have found out that Saoirse and I met the other day?’ Mark did ask Shelly about the matter, but she merely told him with a straight face that no one else knew about it…Suddenly, Davy appeared out of
