Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1670

Mark could not bear to hear any further. “Fine, we’ll leave it at that. I haven’t got any appetite, so you go ahead and eat by yourself. I’ll be heading out now.”

Shelly hurriedly asked, “Will you be back tonight?”

Mark paused for a moment. “I’m busy, so I won’t be back tonight.”

As she watched Mark walking away without even looking back, Shelly’s shoulders dropped. She had also lost her appetite, despite having a sumptuous meal laid out in front of her.

The atmosphere within the entire Tremont Estate seemed gloomy. Even the maids remained hidden and would only show up when Shelly called for them, as though she was the cause of everything bad that was happening.

Arianne was teased so much that her face immediately turned red. “Fine, so be it. You accompany Smore for now. It’ll be time to eat once the soup is ready.”

The couple seemed to have read each other’s minds as neither mentioned a word about the plagiarism case. Home was always supposed to be a place where one could completely relax themselves; having to discuss company matters at home would only be inviting problems for oneself. That night, as the two of them held each other in their arms in bed, they both felt somewhat peaceful even though nothing was happening.

Arianne, finding it hard to sleep for a moment, leaned against Mark’s embrace and whispered, “What are you thinking?”
