A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 272

At this very moment, it hit her that Mark had grown important to her like a family member. Whenever he was around, the Tremont mansion would come alive. She did not like coming home to a lifeless house. This made her already tiring day even more exhausting.

Rice Ball mewled and pounced into her arms. She smiled and carried it upstairs. “I’m going upstairs to shower and sleep. I’ve been really busy lately. I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to take care of you.”

Rice Ball responded to her, seemingly sympathetically, and whimpered pitifully.

By the time she came out from the shower, Rice Ball had already fallen asleep on the blanket at the corner of the bed. She could not bear waking it up so she let it be. She gently slipped into the blanket and fell asleep.

After some time had passed, she awoke from her dreams to Rice Ball’s sudden yelp. She turned on the lights in a panic. Both Mark and Rice Ball were clearly surprised by this.

Rice Ball shrunk into the foot of the bed, widening its eyes pitifully.

Mark leaned against the bedroom door, unmoved. Who knew what he had experienced? He had returned after a long day at work. After he had showered, he had looked forward to a hard-earned sleep. However, just as he lay on the bed and stretched his legs, he ended up kicking Rice Ball’s round little body. He was born sensitive to furry animals. He paused instinctively after his legs flinched. Then, he scrambled to the doorway, faster than the speed of light.

Realizing what had happened, Arianne felt mildly apologetic and quickly carried Rice Ball downstairs. When she returned to the bedroom, Mark was sitting at the side of the bed with his head lowered, looking lonely. She stepped forward and gently said, “I was too exhausted when I came home and let Rice Ball sleep on the bed. It’s alright now. Go to sleep…”

Mark immediately relaxed. He pulled up the blanket and lay down. “Don’t let that fat cat in while I’m asleep. If I see it again, I’ll turn it into soup.”
