Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1488

Robin’s heart ached upon hearing her mother’s words. It was certainly a good time for her to move out now. If she did, it was likely that she would never be able to come home again. “Mom! I will not leave until you put aside your prejudice. I have to go to work. You have a good rest at home, we’ll talk when I come home.”

Mrs. Cox turned her head to the side and looked at the door when she heard it close. Tears brimmed in her eyes.

...

Robin had updated Sylvain on what had happened at home. Now, they had to take things slow and steady or they would drive everyone up the wall.

Sylvain felt extremely worried over this matter. He was a promising young man in every single aspect, why was it so difficult to obtain Mrs. Cox’s approval? He only had that huge scandal with Jessica to blame. Mrs. Cox had been honest her entire life and placed the utmost importance on reputation. That was a great obstacle to overcome.

Arianne had heard Sylvain sighing more than ten times in less than an hour since work started. She would be startled every time he sighed. In the end, she could no longer bear it so she asked, “What are you doing?”

Sylvain realized that Arianne had a point. “You’re right. It’s going to be hard for Robin to see me now. I can’t just sit by and resign myself to fate. Mr. Tremont isn’t in the office today, I think, so I’m going to ask you for leave. Robin won’t be home this afternoon so it’s a good time for her mother and me to have a private conversation. Should I bring a gift?”

Arianne stared at him as if she were looking at an idiot. “Do you even have to ask? Did you plan on showing up empty-handed and getting beaten alive? No one could hit a smiling face. Don’t you know that? Her mom is at home, isn’t she? Bring a present and talk to her. Show restraint no matter how unbearable her words are. You cannot blow your top at her. Her pure, virginal daughter, whom she’s raised for more than twenty years has been whisked away by a pig like you. Do you have any idea how pissed she is? By the way, don’t choose a useless gift. No need to get anything too expensive, just give her something pragmatic, something that’s suitable for her age. Maybe some sort of health supplement. A good bottle of wine for your father-in-law will do.”
