All Chapters of A Ruling Passion: Mr. Tremont’s Priceless Little Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Although she seemed valiant and full of spirit, it was all just an act. She felt incredibly awkward in clothes like these. “Get me a shirt. I’d rather wear your clothes than this. I’m afraid of you losing control. I’m on the losing end here. Hurry up!”Just as Jackson shifted from having her on top of him and got up, she ended up straddling him. She instinctively threw her arms around his neck to avoid toppling over. The pair was now inches away from each other. Blushes and racing hearts were unavoidable.“Tiffie… You…”She expected Jackson to come up with some charming yet lewd statement; after all, he had just praised her for having a good figure. Unfortunately, the next part of his sentence was — ”You’re kind of heavy. Could you get off me?”Tiffany released herself from his embrace and kicked him. “Get lost!”Jackson heaved a long sigh of relief when he walked to the closet. Heaven knows how he managed to restrain himself. Purchasing that nightie was completely on impulse. He

Tiffany hesitated upon receiving such a formal invitation. “This isn’t… a date, right?”Jackson laughed helplessly. “Would you lose some skin if it were? I’m taking you to try something new. It’s settled then? I’ll call you when I’m done.”Tiffany let out a curse after he had driven his car far away. It was sinful. They had already broken up, but this was no different from how things used to be between them. They slept together, drove out in his car, and… had dates?She realized that the door was slightly ajar when she arrived home; Tanya must have opened the door for her in advance. She pushed the door open and caught the sharp scent of durian. “Wow, Tan. You bought durian?”Tanya walked out of her bedroom. “No, Mrs. West brought it for you this morning. She’s brought a ton of other things too. Mostly food.”Tiffany was used to Summer’s way of doing things. “Oh, got it. I’m going to change. I’ll be visiting Ari at the hospital. You coming?”Tanya pursed her lips. “No. Ricky is o

Everything that Mary had said broke Tiffany’s heart for Arianne. “Ari, Mary’s right. Don’t rush to see the baby. You can’t touch him for now anyway. Instead, why don’t you tell me what you would like to eat today? I’ll ask Jackson to whip something up for you. Eat more and you’ll regain your strength. That way, you’ll recover faster. Or maybe you should call Mark and have him come over? You’ve suffered a great hardship to give him his child. You should let him see your frail and fragile state or he won’t feel bad for you.”Arianne felt more energized. Thanks to Mary and Tiffany’s help, she managed to slowly straighten up and take a few steps. The pain made her too afraid to breathe too heavily. She never thought that her first time getting off the bed after surgery would hurt this much. A long time passed before she managed to gasp, “N-no need… t-to trouble Jackson. Ma-Mary… Call… Mark. T-tell him… to come…” Of course, he had to come. A certain issue between them was still unsettled.

Tiffany calmed herself and bent down to pick up her handbag. “Er… It’s fine… I’m fine. Uhm… I’ve promised Jackson that I’d have dinner with him. I’ll be on my way now. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Then, she turned around and left hurriedly, as if scared out of her wits. Ethan — it had been a while since she last heard that name. She was still traumatized. She once loved and hated this man deeply. This man had personally pushed her straight into hell… Had he returned?Arianne and Mark looked at each other, feeling heavy-hearted. They did not continue discussing the topic. Mary was blissfully ignorant of the situation, so she pulled out a strange-looking thing from the plastic bag in her hand. “Ari, the doctor says that you have to pump your milk as soon as possible. Are your breasts swelling up now?”Arianne glanced at Mark, her face beginning to heat up. “N-no… It’s fine… I don’t think I need to do that for now… The baby isn’t with me right now, anyway. I can’t feed him.”“Are you shy?”

Tiffany was speechless.Jackson scowled the entire way home, simply because Tiffany had refused to throw the bouquet away, claiming that she owed Alejandro a favour and couldn’t bear to waste someone else’s efforts. However, he couldn’t throw it away for her either, so had no choice but to crudely throw the bouquet into the back of his car.When they arrived at the ground floor of her condo, Tiffany held her temper as she tried to coax him. “Okay, I’m home. I’m going in. Thank you for today. I’ll buy you a meal tomorrow.”Jackson’s expression softened a little. “Get a good rest when you get home. Let me take the flowers. My place is cold and empty. It’ll be great for livening up the place.”Tiffany was speechless. “S-sure. As long as you don’t throw it away. It’ll be quite a shame. Take it home and put it up then.”When Tiffany entered her home, she saw Tanya watching television on the couch and eating the fruit that Summer had brought. Tiffany did not nitpick on her over this. “T
