Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1882

Cynthia stuck her tongue out at Jackson before turning to take a sip of the wine, letting its sweetness pervade her tongue. She fell in love with it at first taste. “Mm, it’s good!”

Aristotle’s lips curled slightly. “Don’t drink too much.”

Tiffany considered him and mulled her question over for a while, before finally asking, “So… You tied down to a girl yet?”

That came out of nowhere. Aristotle had to reel back a little after his initial bewilderment. “Wha? No. Of course not. Why did you ask?” he replied. “I’m afraid my busy life has provided me no luxury of time to look for one.”

Cynthia’s tongue moved on its own. “But you brought a girl back home already,” she blurted out. “How’s that a no?”

Aristotle seemed a little helpless. “No, you misunderstand. She’s just a schoolmate. A bit more than an acquaintance, but not much. Her stay is temporary.”

Tiffany let out a long sigh of relief. “Ohhhhh! Well, that’s good news! I really thought you were taken.”

Sitting next to her, Jackson had to furtively nudge his wife. “All right, that’s enough distraction from dinner. What’s with the questions? Aristotle is a grown man with his own agency, hon.”

Tiffany pursed her lips, obviously unhappy and reluctant that her interrogation had to end so soon.

“Who’s that? Is it that ‘Rey’ gal again?” Tiffany wondered aloud. “It was her the last time too, wasn’t it? You sure she’s just a ‘schoolmate’, hon? She strikes me as a clingy type—almost as if she’s your girlfriend or something!”

Aristotle, not wanting to worry them, decided against divulging the details about Raven. “It’s fine. She’s got a sickly constitution and is currently lying in the hospital, so I need to check on her and see if she’s okay. Pa West, please join me tomorrow in the company, okay?” he said. “Don’t worry. I’m not going abroad anymore; we’ll have plenty of time to catch up and hang out like a family again. But today, you must excuse me.”
