Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1470

Ursula didn’t dare say anything more, or otherwise, Sylvain would most certainly storm off.

Both mother and son did not enjoy their meal. They left the restaurant after the meal. Sylvain stormed off straight away, leaving Ursula all alone at the restaurant entrance. Ursula felt very unsettled. After all, Sylvain had actually offered to walk Robin to the door when she left. She resented how her position in her son’s heart was nothing compared to that of a little girl. They say that mothers-in-law rarely liked their daughters-in-law—there was some logic in this statement. Regardless, she absolutely hated Robin.

Sylvain uncorked a bottle of wine when he arrived home and downed two glasses of it. That allowed him to suppress some of his unsettled feelings.

He pulled out his phone and called Robin. When she answered his call, he spoke in a slightly sunken voice. “Why did you leave all of a sudden during dinner? Was there really a family emergency? Or did my mom make you feel uncomfortable?”

Robin pursed her lips on the other end of the call. “No… I really did have a family emergency. Is something wrong? Why the sudden phone call?”

Sylvain lowered all of his defenses. “Can you come over? I want you to stay with me, talk to me,” he murmured like a helpless child.

Robin’s heart softened. She could hear the despondence in his tone. She wanted to go to him, but she remembered Ursula’s words and held herself back. “I can’t leave right now, so I can’t go looking for you. When are you leaving the country? I’ll send you off on the day you leave.”

Sylvain sensed that something was amiss from her tone. “What are you talking about? Leaving the country? I’m not leaving the country. What did my mother tell you?”

After a short wait, Sylvain’s car arrived at the side of the road. She opened the car door and slipped inside. “Hurry. Don’t let my mom catch us. We don’t have to go to your place. Let’s just take a drive and come back here. We can talk during the drive.”

Sylvain was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He had dreamed of his mother’s return to take him away since he was a kid. Later on, he realized that it was nothing more than wishful thinking. Now, the day had finally arrived, but it was different than he had imagined. A familial bond tainted with personal interest would naturally become ugly. Furthermore, he was really disgusted with Ursula for meddling in his personal affairs.

Robin’s deliberate display in placing a distance between them had undoubtedly become a fuse for his breakdown. He slammed his foot on the brake, pulled her towards him, and captured her lips.

A kiss mixed with pent-up frustrations would not be a gentle one. Robin was in shock and tried to push him away. Once she realized that it was futile, she surrendered. The weight on her heart felt even more intense than ever.
