A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 297

Arianne shook her head. “I’m not going in. It’s awkward to meet. Return it for me. I’ll be going now.”

Mary called out hastily, “What are you doing? It’s so hot. Look how red your face is from the heat. How can your skin take this? Moreover, what if you get a heatstroke? Heatstroke can kill as well! You can stay away from him, but don’t you want to see me? Come in. You can cool down in my room!”

After a moment of hesitation, Arianne followed Mary to the housekeeper’s room. Everyone was working at this hour so no one was in the room. Although the room housed four people, it had everything and was very spacious. There were even an individual washroom and a kitchen.

Mary returned from upstairs briefly and returned the card to her. “I told you, sir isn’t so petty. He doesn’t want it and asked me to return it to you. He said to keep it for emergencies.”

Arianne was startled. “Really? Did he say anything else?”

Mary shook her head. “Nothing else. He just asked if you’re back. I told him yes, and that you came to return the card. After that, he said to let you keep the card in case of emergencies.”

Arianne considered it for a moment before she kept the card. She was all alone outside now and it was inevitable that there would be times when she needed money urgently. It was not like she could not keep the card anyway. “Alright, thank him for me. Tell him that I won’t be a spendthrift. I’ll only use it in case of an emergency. I’ll take my leave now. You and Henry take care.”

Mary sent Arianne to the door with a sigh and no longer persuaded her to move back. She was old now, there was too much for her to worry about.
