Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1165

Although it was the festive season, delivery services were not disrupted. Hence, Arianne bought some nuts and had them delivered to him in exchange for his gift. She had used an alias in the sender’s column so Zoey and her husband would not find out that she had sent it.

The holiday week had already ended by the time Mark returned. He looked exhausted, it was clear he had been very busy.

Instead of complaining, Arianne only asked how everything went in the company.

Mark did not go into detail, “It’s fine, I can handle so don’t worry about it. Have you started work?”

Arianne shook her head and said, “Our company treats us rather well. We’re only resuming work tomorrow.”

After not seeing Smore for over ten days, Mark did not rest and carried Smore to play with him. However, it seemed like Smore did not like to be carried around anymore. He preferred to crawl now. Therefore, when Mark carried him, he flailed his limbs around. Mark laughed and said, “My boy’s really strong.”

Arianne looked at Smore and made a gesture before she said, “I’m thinking if I should tie a rope to him so it won’t be so tiring for me to chase after him. Moreover, he crawls to somewhere he shouldn’t, I can just grab the rope and pull him back.”

Mark did not hesitate and rejected her immediately. “Rope? Sounds just like a leash? Why are you thinking of tying him up? He’s not a dog.”

Arianne raised an eyebrow. “I’m only joking. Do I look like I’ll tie my son with a rope? He’s beginning to annoy everyone as soon as he wakes up. I’m really afraid of Mary being tortured by him to no end.”

Mark did not seem bothered. “What’s the worst that could happen? Plus, he should be moving around more often now that he’s growing up. Regular exercise is good for his growth.”

...

During dinner, Mark was yawning nonstop.

Arianne did not let Smore pester his father and asked Mark to go to bed after dinner. She felt sorry for him. Being constantly overworked at such a young age would not be good for him.

This was the first time in his life he had snored. He had always been very disciplined and lived a very healthy lifestyle. He was very picky with his lifestyle choices, even more so than a woman.

When Arianne was adjusting her body to find a comfortable position, Mark suddenly rolled over and cozied up to her. He pulled her into his arms with smooth movements. She felt his approach was warm and comforting. She was beginning to feel and enjoy their intimacy.

“You haven’t cajoled me today…”

Arianne’s body froze. Was he not asleep? How could he have woken up despite her light movements when getting into bed? She whispered, “You should get some sleep. You’re already exhausted, and yet, you’re still thinking of tormenting me?”

He buried his face in the nape of her neck, taking a whiff of her scent. “Even if I’m exhausted, there are still some things that need to be done... You smell really nice…”

Her heart raced. She had not once honored her bet of cajoling him once every day. She thought he had forgotten all about it. She shyly refused him. “Stop fooling around and go to sleep.”
