Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 587

Tiffany blurrily grunted a reply and ended the video call. Arianne irritably threw the phone aside.

At past 8 pm, the old lady called Arianne. Based on her tone, she seemed to be in a good mood, “I’m at the Tremont Estate, and everything here is great. Much better than that bird cage of yours, around the same size as our old home. It’s comfortable, living here. You don’t have to worry about me. Mark is here.”

Then, she hung up. It was done very neat and tidily.

A shiver ran across Arianne's heart. The old lady was not easy to deal with. How did Mark manage to familiarize himself with her in such a short time, then persuade her to go back to the capital? Something must be wrong…

Mark had never met the old woman prior to this. She checked through her call records and found that the old woman had actually called while she was asleep in Mark’s hotel room. Of course, she wasn’t the one who answered the call, which could only mean that Mark had gone back to the condo to help the old woman out for her while she was asleep. They had probably discussed returning to the capital during that time. How sneaky!

Everything was set in stone now, there was no use in her saying anything. The crucial thing was that the old woman was happy in the Tremont Estate. How could she persuade her to come back? Feeling slightly depressed, she called Mark again. The call was soon answered, and his voice sounded indolent, “Hello?”

“Why couldn’t you have at least informed me that you’d be taking my grandmother away?” she asked in a muffled voice, “Do you really think that I’d go back to the capital just because of this?”

“My Ari is certainly clever,” Mark replied. He seemed to be laughing. “I was afraid that you’d break your promise to me. This way, we’ll both have some sort of insurance. Your grandmother is my grandmother. There’s nothing inappropriate about me taking care of her. You can still enjoy the temporary freedom you wanted, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of our granny.”

“Our granny” — he emphasized it on purpose.

Arianne was speechless. Then, she answered, “Fine, since you like taking care of her so much, thank you. I won’t be able to take a trip back any time soon, and I’m afraid that I’ll only be able to return during Tiffany’s engagement and wedding. I’m going to wash up and sleep. Good night!” she said all of this in a single breath, then ended the call. She always hated being under his control, having thoroughly experienced his craftiness. He had even managed to spirit the old lady away during his trip here. She had underestimated him!

Mark stared at the dimming phone screen. The corners of his lips lifted into the faintest of smiles. He was getting impatient and wanted to make her come back to the Tremont Estate at once. She would be returning to the capital in a month for Tiffany and Jackson’s engagement party. By then, he would do everything he could to make her stay.

The next day, Tiffany went to Jackson’s office early in the day to apply for a position. She had put extra effort into dressing up in order to achieve a smooth hiring process. She had even put on serious business wear and was immaculate from head to toe. She did not dare use an overly expensive bag.
