A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 224

Nina saw her rushing down the stairs with a flushed face and teased her with a smirk, “Seems like Mark was too excited… It hasn’t even been that long since you were discharged…”

Arianne was so embarrassed that she wanted to die. “What are you talking about…? That’s not it… I’m exhausted. I’m just going to take a shower and sleep.”

Mary glared at Nina. “Don’t poke your nose into other people’s business, young lady! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Mind your own business!”

Nina disagreed with her. “We’re all adults here, what are you worried about? Given the sexual tension between them earlier, I thought they were going to do something. Seems like I got excited over nothing. Both of them usually just look so ‘sex depraved’. Aren’t you curious too on how their relationship will develop?”

“It’s not like you don’t know that madam is in poor health. Sir is understanding toward her. You’re the only one making wild guesses here. I think you’re too bored out of your mind,” Mary brushed her off.

Arianne listened to the conversation between Mary and Nina in the bathroom. She felt even more embarrassed to see anyone right now. It was all Mark’s fault. Why did he have to drag her upstairs like that as soon as they came back? His unusual behavior made it seem so obvious...

She deliberately spent a longer time than usual in the bathroom. By the time she returned to the bedroom, Mark had fallen asleep and the light was still on. She carefully turned off the light and laid on the bed. However, Mark drew closer to her and put his arm over her waist. Arianne could clearly feel his hot breaths against her neck.

They were usually never this close to each other when they slept. Now that she suddenly found herself in Mark’s arms, she couldn’t really get used to it. Feeling awkward for a long time, she couldn’t fall asleep. Even if her eyes were going to close, her mind kept her awake.

Mark didn’t seem to be getting a good night’s sleep either. He adjusted his sleeping position from time to time but seemed to stick closer to her every time. Arianne could feel every movement he made.

Neither of them were going to get a good sleep if this went on. Since she wasn’t a naive and innocent girl anymore, she mustered up the courage to whisper, “I think… I’m almost fully healed. It… should… be alright…”
