A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 223

Eric was intrigued when he noticed that Mark was catching up to him. Both of them started racing against each other until they parted ways at an intersection. Even then, Mark didn’t slow down. Arianne’s heart beat crazily as she clung to her seatbelt for dear life. “What are you doing? I’m scared…! The road is pretty dark and slippery, can you slow down?”

Mark slammed on the brakes just as the car reached the luxury residential area. There weren’t many cars on this road at this hour and no cops would issue any tickets here. Arianne patted her chest for a long while to calm herself down. “Why did you decide to come pick me up? I can come back by myself…”

“Come back by yourself? Do you mean getting Eric to send you home, instead?” There was jealousy in his tone.

“I usually take a cab home by myself. Eric only gives me a ride on the days I work overtime. What’s wrong with that? You can just tell me directly if I’ve upset you in any way. Don’t use such an extreme method to frighten me. It was really dangerous…” Arianne was feeling rather resentful of his behavior right now.

“You’re not allowed to smile at other men.” When Mark said this, his face was turned toward the car window.

Arianne, unable to see his expression, was baffled. “I... can't smile at even Eric? Isn't that your friend? Not only that, he’s my boss. Am I supposed to give him a sour face?”

Mark didn’t respond, but she could tell that he was trying to hold himself back from the way his chest undulated. She knew his every action. It was late at night, and the surrounding area was dark and quiet. She couldn’t help but feel a little scared. “Okay, okay. I’ll keep that in mind. Let’s go back, why did you stop your car here?”

Mark suddenly turned his face to look at her. Since it was dim, Arianne couldn’t see the expression on his face clearly. All she could sense was his burning gaze. In just a few seconds, her heartbeat accelerated again. Even if he didn’t say anything, her face started burning and she subconsciously lowered her head.

In just a short while, the car returned to the Tremont Estate.

After getting out of the car, Mark grabbed Arianne’s hand and pulled her upstairs, ignoring even Nina’s greetings.
