Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1209

Sylvain had probably slept very late last night. He was still asleep when she left, so she had no choice but to leave him a note. She had to leave some form of notification, at least. That was the polite thing to do.

She had just arrived at the office building when Arianne pulled her aside. “Your mom is here, asking everyone in the office if you stayed all night to work overtime. She seemed really angry when she found out that there was no one at the office last night. She’s waiting for you. Where were you last night? Didn’t I walk you to the cab? Didn’t you go home?”

All the color drained from Robin’s face. “Arianne… I didn’t think that my mother would come all the way here. I’m so sorry! You have to help me! I left in the cab last night, but there was something wrong with the cabbie. He dragged me to a secluded road. I was so scared, so I called Sylvain, and he picked me up. Going back and forth took up a lot of time. It was pretty late and I forgot my keys. My parents have a habit of turning off their phones at night when they go to bed, and I was too afraid to wake them so I went to Sylvain’s. My mom will kill me if she finds out that I spent the night in a man’s house! Arianne…”

Arianne frowned. “You and Sylvain…”

Robin realized that her mind had wandered into the gutter. “No, no, no. I only slept over for the night, nothing else! He’s really a nice guy; it’s not what you think. I’d probably be dead by now if it weren’t for him last night. Arianne, please back me up with my lie to my mother, okay? Just this once! Please!”

Arianne knew that Robin was really bad at lying. She sighed. “Fine. I can’t let your mom scold you in front of the entire office, can I? Come on, let’s go upstairs. We’ll say that you slept at my place last night. I shouldn’t have let you go alone. Thank goodness you’re alright. I guess it was my fault. I’ll take care of it.”

Arianne wasn’t sure if she should laugh or cry. Even Mark ended up dragged into this mess, because of this…

Mrs. Cox eyed Arianne for a good amount of time. “She does look like someone from the Tremont household. I’ve never seen her in person, but I have seen her picture on the internet. As the saying goes, one takes on the behavior of one’s company. I’d worry a lot less if my Robin sticks with you. Next time, give me a call first if you can’t come home. I don’t have the time to come looking for you at your office all the time. Honestly, you’re already an adult. When will you stop worrying me?”

Robin let out a sigh of relief, then lovingly took her mother’s hand and led her downstairs. She gave Arianne a big thumbs-up from behind just before she left.
