All Chapters of A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Chapter 661 - Chapter 670

Bernadette sat decrepitly on the side of the bed; her hair was in a disarray, and the look in her eyes towards Atticus was complicated. In the end, she chose not to say a word. She had thought that he would come alone, but now Summer was here too. She couldn’t possibly reveal such unbearable details to the world. This was her final shred of dignity, “It’s nothing. I’ve lost. Nothing happened between us. That child isn't yours. That’s all.”Summer looked at her, utterly disgusted. She thought that she would hear some new piece of revelation from her. She did not expect to hear that, “You’re nothing. We’ll be leaving now. Take care, Miss Legrand.”In the end, Bernadette did not take Mark’s villa or his money. Aside from complete and utter ruin, she gained nothing from her exploit. Her final request was for Mark to get rid of the internet discussions and grant her peace. She couldn’t afford to offend this man.A great divide that could never be patched up now separated Jackson and Atticus

With him holding her from behind like that, she felt slightly nervous. She relented in order to quickly get away from this particular position. “Okay.”He smiled and released his arms from around her waist.Back in the bedroom, the pair lay side by side but could not seem to fall asleep. Arianne slept whenever she wanted, night or day. She wasn’t tired at all. Mark couldn’t sleep because she was right next to him.“Do you want a boy or a girl?” he suddenly asked in the dark.“It’s all the same,” Arianne answered immediately, “As long as the child is born safely, I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. This will be the only child I’ll ever bear in this life. I can’t choose.” She paused for a while, then asked, “What about you?”He turned to the side and faced her, then placed his hand gently on her abdomen, “Me too. I’ll love it, no matter if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s from you.”Arianne couldn’t describe how she felt when she heard this. She was too used to his cold and distan

Arianne lowered her head in silence. She did not agree with the old woman’s advice. Mark’s feelings for her may not necessarily be good luck; it felt more like misfortune. The old woman was only saying this because she was unaware of what had happened in the past. If she knew, she probably wouldn’t advise her to look ahead. Mark was the one behind all of her grievances. How could he not?Suddenly, the car jolted. The old woman’s temper immediately flared, “Hey, driver, watch it! Don’t kill us with your shaky driving! What are you doing? You’re such a bad driver!”A Tremont family bodyguard was behind the wheel. He apologized profusely after being scolded by Tabitha, “I’m sorry, I’ll be more careful…”“It’s fine,” Arianne said helplessly, “Just drive a little slower. It’s no rush.”Not long after, the car stopped in front of the address that Zoey had given Tabitha. Zoey’s residence in the capital wasn’t too far from the Tremont Estate, almost as if it was done on purpose. Of course, the

The old woman was so angry that her face turned ashen, “Your brother has been dead for many years, yet you still insist on sucking the blood out of him. Is he some kind of bloody meal to you? Are you even human? If I’d known about this, I would have chosen to have only one child for the rest of my life, instead of taking in a heartless thing like you! I might as well have raised a dog!”Zoey saw nothing wrong in her actions. In her point of view, she was the one who had suffered the most injustice. She burst into tears, “So you’ve finally said it. You’ve never treated me like your own child. You only adopted me so that someone would take care of your corpse for you, isn’t that right? That’s a business deal, not love! You think that I’m heartless, that I’m cruel. But you’re the meanest old woman! If my big brother hadn’t had any children, I admit that I’d have to take care of you, but he has Arianne. Why can’t I recount this debt? Let’s take ten thousand steps back and say that it would

Ultimately, the final deal was Mark approving Arianne’s hotpot hangout with the compromise that he tagged along. He did not particularly like hotpots, but he joined in as Arianne’s companion anyway.With a tack-on bodyguard she did not want, Arianne felt as though she was put on a leash, and her excitement naturally plummeted. But when she reached the destination and saw Tiffany mirroring her expression, she perked up — Tiffany was not exactly given the liberty to party hard either, for Jackson was with her.Finally, Tanya brought Eric — who was probably looking for a place to spend his free time — along, and the ensemble was complete.Since they disembarked, Mark’s hand had never once left its protective position on Arianne’s waist, making one wonder if he would gingerly place the girl right in the center of his palm if he could help it. That was not all; he punctuated between every few steps with a “The floor is slippery, please be careful.”Arianne relied on his directions so much t
