Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1455

Arianne stammered, “H-how… How was I to control my strength in that kind of situation? You just said that you’re fine and refused to put on ointment. Why don’t you avoid going out over the next two days? You won’t sweat if you stay in the office.”

Such a small matter was definitely not going to stop someone who was meticulous with work like Mark. For that reason, Arianne was not surprised when Mark insisted on continuing with his schedule as planned. She pursed her lips when she saw how brightly the sun shone. She knew she was right to say it would have been better if he had stayed in his office.

…

At the largest marina in the capital.

Brian held an umbrella over Mark while they stood in the middle of a bustling area.

The movers were drenched in sweat as they moved the shipments onto the freight ships that were waiting to depart to their destinations. The stench of sweat permeated the air, completely overwhelming the smell of the sea breeze.

Alejandro suddenly appeared next to Mark. “Look at this sissy, why are you under an umbrella? It wouldn’t do you any harm to get a little tan.”

Mark paid no attention to Alejandro and took out his handkerchief to wipe off the bead of sweat on his forehead. Although the umbrella was able to block off the sunlight, it was not enough to block the heat. The heat only eased a little when the cold sea breeze blew at him. He did not have the energy to respond to Alejandro thanks to the stinging pain on his back that was exacerbated by the sweat.

Alejandro immediately lost interest in teasing Mark when he saw Mark frowning. He slapped his back and said, “Relax, there won’t be any accident this time, not when I’ve personally brought my own men to check everything.”

Mark’s face immediately paled, Alejandro’s slap had hurt so much.

Mark angrily turned around and glared at Alejandro.

Alejandro was startled at Mark’s sudden reaction. “What’s wrong? What’s with the long face? Are you going to hit me just because I touched you?”

Mark did not reply and turned around to look at a house in the distance. All he wanted to do at that time was to rest in a house and get comfortable.
