A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 217

Arianne called home and informed Mary that she would not come home for dinner since she was working overtime.

Mary nagged at her, worried that her body could not endure hard work, but she did not say anything else.

When Eric exited his office to make himself a cup of tea around eight at night, he was taken aback when he saw Arianne was still around. “Why haven’t you gone home?”

Arianne replied nonchalantly, “I sit here all day, it’s not like my work is physically arduous. It’s not tiring at all. I can handle this. If I feel unwell, I’ll leave early. Don’t worry about me.”

Eric was still concerned. “It’s already past eight. We’ll stay till half-past nine latest. So you can leave now. It’s fine.”

Arianne glanced at him before she finally turned off her computer and packed her things up without saying anything. Being a man, Eric had more pride. Although she had overheard his conversation earlier, she could not directly comfort him. Moreover, it was his family’s problem. It was not her place to meddle.

It was nearly nine when Arianne arrived home. The Tremont Estate was brightly lit. Mark must be home. The moment she entered the house, Rice Ball catapulted into her embrace. Nina slipped out from the living room and stealthily took a fancy-looking box of cake out like a magic trick. “Here you go! You must have worked hard.”

Arianne thanked her, accepting the sweet treat.

Nina clicked her tongue. “No worries, it’s not like I’m waiting for your thank-you. Clean up and go to sleep. I think Mark’s in the bedroom.”

Arianne looked upstairs and took her shower in the bathroom downstairs, afraid she would disturb Mark, before returning to her room.

Surprisingly, Mark went to bed early today. His breathing was steady, evident that he was already asleep.
