Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1699

It was at this moment that Arianne let go her hatred toward Shelly.

She loved Mark so much that she could not bring herself to hate anything that was his. If Shelly could recover, Arianne decided that she would not mind living under the same roof as her like family.

You cannot cling to the past if you want to live beyond it. If the past is all you care about, then you have doomed your future.

She sighed. “I’ll stay here by your side, okay? Let’s have the kitchen crew make something for you. After a hearty meal, go to sleep. And throughout this period, I’ll be here with you.”

Mark said nothing. In his silence, she gently withdrew her hand from his shoulder and turned toward the stairs.

“Henry, please tell the kitchen crew to make some fulfilling but simple dishes for him. He hadn’t slept at all last night, so he needs all the rest he can get.”

“Will he really eat it?” Henry whispered. “Were anyone else to try to talk him into it, he wouldn’t possibly have listened. Only you know how to break down his defense, Madam. With that said, I will have the kitchen prepare food right away.”

Arianne nodded at him. Next, she gave Mary a call, telling her to bring Smore to the Tremont Estate tonight.

Mark had always been a disciplined man who kept to his schedules. He could be dead-tired from losing a night’s sleep, but Arianne was sure that if he slept right now, he would no doubt wake up right before dinnertime. Seeing Smore by then should do wonders to his general mood.

If she were to be frank, throughout their lives together, Mark had rarely let slip his vulnerable side. Seeing it in such unbridled display greatly disquieted Arianne.

The kitchen quickly whipped something up for Mark, though the man did not seem to have nurtured much of an appetite. Regardless, Arianne remained stalwartly by his side until he finally went to sleep, which was when she quickly went downstairs.

There was still a large ball of wax waiting for her at work. She was cognizant that just because she was not physically in the company, it did not exempt her from tackling what must be done.
