Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1795

‘Exhausted you say? Melanie did say that as well…’

Alejandro extinguished the cigarette in his hands and suddenly leaped up to grab onto Mateo’s collar. “Don’t you dare put that expression on your face as if you know her very well!”

Mateo calmly released himself from Alejandro’s grasps. “I don’t know her very well, just a little bit more than you do, that’s all. I came back because of someone, but it’s not her, so you can be rest assured.”

This time, Alejandro did not have Jett stop Mateo when he tried to leave. Before Mateo left, he told them that he wouldn’t tell Melanie about their meeting.

The next day.

Arianne got off work in the afternoon and had intended on inviting Mark to Mateo’s Cantonese restaurant for lunch, but she ended up having to go alone, since he had sudden business to attend to.

Unsurprisingly, during the second day of the restaurant’s opening, business was still booming similar to the first day. However, Arianne was lucky that she could be served, so she chose a table for two and sat down. Just as she was done ordering her dishes, Mateo showed up and said, “Are you here alone today?”

Arianne hurriedly stood up. “Yes, I didn’t know what to have for lunch and remembered that your food is quite nice, so I came over. I’ve already ordered my dishes, so you can go on and continue with your work. Don’t let me bother you.”

After she said that, Mateo turned around and told the cashier that Arianne would eat free of charge. Arianne hurriedly said, “There’s no need for that, how could I not pay for my meals? If you do this, how can I continue coming here?”

Mateo was extremely generous as he said, “Don’t worry about it, you’ll be able to eat here free of charge from now on. There’s no need for you to feel pressured about it.”

Mateo shook his head. “Actually, he didn’t. However, I don’t think it’s a problem. It makes sense that he would misunderstand me. The angrier he is, the more it shows that he cares about Melanie, which I’m glad for. I did return to the country for someone, but that person isn’t Melanie.”

Arianne’s interest became piqued. “You returned to the country for someone? A girl? If that’s so, then that girl sure is lucky. There aren’t many men like you left anymore.”

Mateo looked at Arianne and asked with a serious expression on his face. “What kind… of man am I?”

Arianne thought about it for a moment before she said, “The kind that lets others feel comfortable when they talk to you. You don’t cause others to feel uncomfortable around you. I suppose girls would find it hard not to fall for you normally, wouldn’t they? Who’s the girl? Why don’t you tell me? I might just know her. You’ve been away from the country for a few years now, so I might be able to help you assess her if I know her.”

Mateo’s eyes turned sharp. “You’re well acquainted with her, but I can’t tell you who she is. From the beginning, she’s been the light of my life and that has never changed. I have no idea why I hesitated in the past; I clearly had the chance, but I just had to drag it. Until finally… She got married and gave birth to a child. As for me? All these years, I’ve never been able to let her go, nor have I been able to love another person. Hence, I could only come back here to look for her and seek some closure, even if it’s an unhappy one.”
