Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 460

The shop was closed for a while during the Christmas season. Lynn and Tanya went back to their own homes to spend Christmas with their families, but Arianne and Tiffany only had each other. This was their first time spending Christmas in a different city. On Christmas Eve, Tiffany had an hour-long call with Lillian. Arianne was left staring out into the cold Christmas night.

Suddenly, Arianne’s phone rang. She thought that it was a simple Christmas greeting and was not bothered. She picked up her phone and glanced at it, then realized that it was from Helen. The contents of the message may have been a greeting, but there was a bank transfer of 1,500 dollars into her bank account. Apparently, it was a Christmas present, to make up for all the presents she had owed her when she was younger.

She felt nothing and simply replied to her with two words: Merry Christmas.

Helen was standing in front of a window when she received the message and smiled. It was snowing heavily outside and her only loved one was out of reach. She felt a sense of warmth when she saw those words on her icy phone screen. This was the best present she could ever ask for this Christmas.

Suddenly, a call notification appeared over the message. Helen frowned and answered the call, “Hello?”

From the other end of the line, Aery’s first words were, “Merry Christmas, mother. Where’s my present? I’m not in the country, but you haven’t forgotten my present, have you?”

Helen paused, “Got it. I’ll send it to you later.”

Just then, she heard the sound of fireworks from Aery’s end. Helen furrowed her brows, “You’re supposed to be in Malaysia. It’s illegal to release fireworks there. Are you still in the country?”

Aery quickly replied, “Of course I have! Dad secretly bought some fireworks from the market, even though I told him not to do it. I’ve got to go. Remember to send the money over!”

The call ended very quickly. However, Helen was still feeling extremely suspicious. Jean hated trouble and would never go through the trouble of purchasing illegal fireworks just for fun. There could only be one explanation — she had been tricked! Jean and Aery must have never left the country with the monthly living expenses that she had provided.

She really wanted to investigate this but changed her mind after some thought. Regardless of whether they had been lying to her or not, she would cease all financial support once Aery was done with her studies. She did not care if Aery was studying hard or not. She couldn’t bring herself to care. She was extremely disillusioned by the Kinsey family.
