Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1407

It was proven that he was wilder than her imaginations. Unfortunately, someone forgot to close the window, causing Aristotle, who was playing in the courtyard, to question Mary inquisitively.

Mary blushed, unsure of how to explain it to him. “We-well… It’s not that… How could your daddy possibly be hitting your mommy? They’re probably just biting each other’s ears.”

Aristotle’s little face filled with fear. “Can pewple… eat ears?”

Mary was at her wits’ end. She could only cover Aristotle’s ears. “Let’s go to the kitchen. I’ll make something for you to eat.”

Mark finally fell asleep when the sky grew dark. He had lost a lot of weight and the outline of his face seemed sharper and more prominent. His already long and slender fingers were now boney. Arianne’s heart ached as she stared at him. Both of them had suffered greatly during this period of time.

By the time she put on her clothes and arrived downstairs, Mary had already prepared dinner. “Madam, would you like to eat?” she asked in a soft voice. “Isn’t Mr. Tremont still asleep?”

Arianne nodded. “Mm, he’s still asleep. Just fallen asleep, in fact. No need to call him for dinner. Just whip something up when he’s awake. By the way, I’ve heard that he’s developed a cough. Is there any kind of nutritional food to help him with that?”

“Yes,” Mary replied. “I’ll make it for him when he wakes up. Henry says that his lungs developed this cough after being waterlogged. It won’t heal completely, but it’ll probably get better if we give him the right nutrition.”

The next morning, when she woke up, Mark stared at her in amusement and teased her. “I wouldn’t have realized how much you loved me if I hadn’t almost died. You were even calling out my name in your sleep and held onto me for the entire night.”

Arianne was stubborn and refused to admit it. “I was not… It’s getting late. Get up. Are you going to the office today? You can rest for a while if you’re still tired. I can take care of things for a while.”

Mark’s expression turned serious. “No need. You have a good rest at home. Leave the company to me. There are many things beyond your skills, for example… Seaton S. Bart.”
