A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 27

The foreign voice of a man came from the other end of the line.

“Hello? Sis-in-law? Uh, Mark had too much to drink. Do you think you can come pick him up?”

Sis-in-law? The address caused her to jolt. Arianne’s first reaction was that the caller must have been mistaken. She was quite puzzled.

“What? Where?”

It took Arianna some effort to finally clarify which bar they were at, since the other end of the line was noisy.

Hanging up, she put on her coat and woke Henry up. She had no driver’s license and could not pick him up on her own.

Arriving at the location, she saw the men at the bar entrance from afar right as she got off the car. Other than Mark Tremont who was intoxicated, there were two other men.

‘Birds of a feather flock together’ – this was Arianne’s immediate thought. Both men were good looking and lofty. It was just that she had never seen them in the past, having no opportunity to familiarize herself with his circle of friends.

“Ay, Mark’s good at hiding. He’s spilled the beans that he’s married, but only after getting drunk today. I’ve never expected his type to be the fresh and innocent kind. You aren’t the one he took in… are you?” Jackson West widened his eyes when he saw Arianne, he was quite doubtful.

Arianne’s gaze dimmed a little. She said nothing and went up to hold Mark Tremont.

“Thank you and sorry for the trouble.”

Jackson West wanted to say more but was dragged along by Eric Nathaniel beside him. “Enough, help take Mark to the car.”

When the car zoomed off, Jackson looked seriously at Eric.

“Say, she’s not actually that little girl he took in back then, is she? What’s Mark thinking? Never in my wildest dream I’d expect him to marry her.”
