A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 214

Arianne smiled self-deprecatingly. “He has always been like that to me. I envy the rest of you sometimes, being at the receiving end of his gentleness. I’ve been with him for more than ten years, but I’ve never...”

Nina did not have any intention to tease her. Instead, she felt rather sympathetic. “Based on my past understanding of him, I think he only said those words out of anger. I don’t know what has happened between both of you. However, based on my womanly instincts, I don’t think he’s being honest. Initially, I didn’t believe he likes you. I even thought you forced him to marry you by faking a pregnancy and using whatever tricks people used in dramas. However, I believe it now. Didn’t he insist on marrying you?”

Arianne did not understand Nina’s words. “What do you mean? After hearing what he said, you still think we have some sort of relationship?”

Nina looked up at the sky that was dotted with stars. She mulled over her words before she finally said, “Don’t tell me you think he takes care of you and married you just for revenge? If he really wants revenge, there are worse things he can do. He wouldn’t even deign to waste his entire life on you just for revenge. With his ridiculously high IQ, how could he come up with such a crappy revenge plan? What he says is probably the opposite of what he feels. He exploded in a rage after you said you don’t love him, right? What he wants is your love, but you went on and on about familial love.”

Nina continued to say, “I have to say, you’re really stupid. He wants romantic love. You know, the kind between a man and a woman? With his character, there’s nothing he wants from you except for romance. Honestly, I adore him. I investigated him and discovered he didn’t have a promiscuous lifestyle. The only woman he had is Aery Kinsey, your half-sister. With his status, isn’t that rare? Most men who are worth hundreds of millions or trillions have women lining up next to them. Put that aside, Aery Kinsey is your half-sister. Do you think that’s a coincidence? If you ask me, I don’t think he has done anything with Aery Kinsey. I think he’s just trying to rile you up. To think that you think he stayed by your side for more than ten years, taking care of you, and waiting for you to grow up, just to be your brother or father? Family bonds, my a*s!”

Previously, Arianne did not have a great time with Nina nor did she get along with Nina. Moreover, she did not approve of her behavior as well. However, she had to admit that Nina’s words made sense. She began to doubt herself. Did she get it all wrong? Mary had also told her that Mark liked her. However, when she recalled the expression on Mark’s face when he spoke to her, she thought it was ridiculous. Other people’s marriage was loving and sweet to the point of giving onlookers diabetes. Her marriage, on the other hand, started with torment. Why must she be different? Bullsh*t! She had never heard of a man treating the woman he liked in that manner.

The longer Arianne pondered on it, the more she thought it was impossible. “Nina, there’s no need to console me. I’m fine. I’m used to it. Even if he hits me, I won’t be surprised. However, he hasn’t done that yet. Things are too complicated between us. How can all of you see things so clearly when even I can’t? It’s impossible for him to like me. I don’t feel that way for him either. It’s strange. I was only eight when I arrived in the Tremont Estate. At that time, he was 18, a legal adult. You’re asking me to consider romance with him? It’s absurd.”

Nina looked like she had seen a ghost. “Both of you are husband and wife now. People say that marriage is the grave of love. Once you date, get married, and give birth, that love will turn to familial love. In the end, the root of it is still love. You started with familial affection for Mark so it’s the opposite way around. Your love is only beginning now. If you don’t believe me, switch from ‘you don’t love him’ to ‘you love him’ before you make him angry the next time. I assure you the outcome will be different.”

Arianne felt her mind bursting with thoughts, and she no longer wanted to continue talking about this. She diverted the topic to Nina. “Don’t you like him? Why are you helping me by telling me these?”
