Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1274

Jackson didn’t dare comment on the subject. “Well… You should probably ask Arianne. There’s no use in asking me. I won’t get involved in your affairs. Handle the outcome yourself. Arianne can hold a grudge. If I start something, just because of what I’ve said, she’ll remember it for life.”

Mark took a deep breath, got up, and went back to the bedroom. Aristotle was about to fall asleep but woke up when he heard Mark opening the door. Arianne felt helpless. “Why did you have to come in now? He was falling asleep, and now he’s awake again… My arms are sore.”

He glanced at her phone on the bed, walked forward, and said, “I’ll hold him. Let me put him to bed then.”

Arianne’s arms were very sore, so she gave Aristotle over to him and sat on the bed to rest.

After a while, Aristotle stopped moving. That meant that he was fast asleep. Mark did not put him down immediately. “I’ve heard that Will Sivan’s company is in financial trouble. Did you know?” he asked in a seemingly casual manner.

Arianne’s body stiffened. She didn’t know how to answer him. Had he found out? Or was he just testing the waters?

Half a minute later, she finally answered. “I know, Tiffie told me.”

Arianne bit her lips. “Fine, I admit it—I gave him money. I just wanted to help him. Tiffie transferred the funds and I told her not to say that it was from me. Will guessed it on his own. He sent me a message just now to express his gratitude, nothing else. I didn’t discuss it with you because I didn’t want to create unnecessary problems. I didn’t want to fight with you, nor did I think you would have agreed anyway. I didn’t ask you for money to help him but instead sold the house that Helen gave me and used my savings. I gave it all to him. He’ll pay me back once business picks up again.”

Mark balled his hands into fists. “You used the money that your mother gave you? And sold the house? Heh… Were you going to sell Wynn Mansion too, if his debt continued? Arianne, you didn’t touch those savings during the Wynn Mansion’s renovations, but now you’ve given it all away for Will! Did you know, I would have preferred you talking to me about it first and asking me to help him instead…”

Arianne could hear the suppressed emotions in his tone. Her first instinctive was to run away. “Can’t we discuss this tomorrow? Smore is asleep. Don’t wake him.”
