A Ruling Passion: Mr. Tremont’s Priceless Little Bride

Tiffany pursed her lips and stared at him silently for a while. Then, she walked toward the door.“It’s late,” he said to her, “I won’t be responsible if anything happens to you. You can either stay here or take my car with you.”She paused in her footsteps but did not linger. “Nothing’s going to happen. I don’t need you to worry about me.”Unbeknownst to her, Jackson had followed her out. He watched her hail a cab and get into the cab before following her back to her house until he was sure she was safe and sound.…The next day, Tremont Estate.Mark had arranged his time to bring Arianne to her prenatal examination as usual.Arianne had woken up late so they only left the house when it was almost 10 AM.An obvious bump could be seen on her lower belly now. The baby was also moving with increasing frequency. This made Mark even more anxious. He would watch over her every second of the day he could. He was truly afraid of her coming to harm.When they got into the car, he carefully fas

Mark raised an eyebrow. “Yes. So, can you get lost?”Zoey’s husband finally got up from the couch. “Fine, I’ll leave right now. As long as there’s money, everything will go smoothly. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you’d done this earlier? It would have saved me a trip here. Since Zoey has refused the money, there’s no need for you to tell her about my visit today. I’ll be my way now, nephew-in-law.”Mark did not deign to answer him. He could tell that it would not be the last of that fellow now that he had a taste of easy money. Arianne was currently pregnant so it was best for him to keep things quiet. That $750,000 should be enough to hold that man off for a while. When Arianne safely delivered the baby, he would no longer tolerate this. After a while, he said to Davy, “Change the couch and coffee table. Disinfect everything in the office.”...At the end of the month, Alejandro finally returned from abroad. The first thing he did was to organize a press conference to officially an

“Yes, so?” Tiffany asked. “That’s my business, not yours.”Jackson’s expression sank even further. He finally spoke up again after a long pause. “Was he the reason behind your determination for our break up?”Tiffany was taken aback, then a little angry. “What are you talking about? Are you saying that I dumped you for another man? So, whatever you did with Lynn in the car doesn’t count? Jackson West, can you be reasonable? If you can’t say anything nice, then shut the f*ck up!”Jackson laughed. “I was just wondering if I’ve lost to a cripple… I’m glad that I haven’t. I admit to my own mistakes.”“So, you admit to your affair with Lynn?” she asked through gritted teeth.He turned his face to the side and asked, “Now you want to hear my explanation?”She faked a laugh. “Hehe, no thank you. There’s no need.”He didn’t say anything more. Suddenly, both their phones rang. They looked at each other and answered their calls. Tiffany’s call was from Alejandro, who had invited her to see him.

Davy quickly answered, “Y-yes! I’m on it right away!”The first thing that came into Mark’s line of sight once he stepped into the Tremont Estate was Arianne. Suddenly, all of his stress melted away.Only her presence could dispel every dark cloud swirling in his mind. Relaxed, he cooed, “Has the kid been kind to Mommy? Or are we expecting a little troublemaker, Ari?”His gentle, loving tone struck true to Arianne’s soft spot. Chuckling softly, she looked down and traced invisible circles on her belly. “Oh, the child’s been good. No one could be that much of a trouble at this size and age, right? Now, why are you back so soon today? Don’t you have anything at work? Either way, you’re just in time for lunch. Are you going back to work for the evening?”Mark crouched, placing his ear as closely as he could to her belly, hoping to catch any indication of the child’s movement. All he could hear was a series of burblings not dissimilar to the sound of bubble-blowing.It was nothing interest

Mary breathed out a sigh of relief at the good turn of events. Since she had kept dinner ready in the kitchen this whole time, she laid all of it out on the table in a flurry, chiming in, “That’s right, Ma’am. You should never skip a meal! The child needs all the yummy food to grow healthy and strong.”Arianne was reminded of her child’s ultrasound image and suddenly felt a little insecure. “Mary, do you think I’m gonna, you know, birth an ugly duckling or something? I mean, I’m not gonna dislike my own kid for it that much, but… if the kid turned out to be a bit too heavy on the ugliness, I don’t think I’d like that.”Mary broke out a chuckle. “Poppycocks! Both you and Mr. Tremont are so handsome, how could any of your genes produce an ugly duckling at all? All the kid needs to do is to take after either of you, and voila, a beautiful child is guaranteed! Oh, Madam, don’t fret over the image in that report; it’s inaccurate. How could it be? The kid’s still enjoying a spa treatment in
