Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1748

Sylvain sank into silence. He had thought that giving Ursula a separate place to stay, away from his family, would help circumvent many of these problems, but now, it seemed that his hope to escape was premature. He knew the exact opinions and thoughts Ursula harbored toward the Coxes. This was why, in the past, Sylvain had been adamant that a relationship, an affair between two persons, would ultimately need to subsist on the blessings of those around the couple. To marry without other people’s blessings was to unite against all odds—especially the most difficult ones.

One could almost see lightning flashing on his stormy expression. “Arianne Wynn. My office, now!”

Sylvain was pulled back into reality—and immediately decided to pull out of the conversation. “Yo, this ain’t got nothin’ to do with me!”

Arianne rolled her eyes. “As if I thought it’s your business in the first place! Go bury your nose in your stuff. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

Mark’s chiseled index finger was trained at her so closely that his fingertip was almost touching her forehead. “Putting your hand around other people’s shoulders and back in the office, aren’t you? Have I become invisible in your eyes that nothing enjoins you from getting ‘touchy-feely’ with other guys, hmm?”
