A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 316

Mark gritted his teeth. He never thought of Arianne’s reasons for moving out of the Tremont Estant. It had been more than ten years, a very long time, and she’d never left the Tremont Estate. But now, she was suddenly leaving. Previously, he couldn’t be bothered with figuring out why, and he never earnestly tried to get her to stay. He finally understood after hearing Aery’s reminder. Did she really move out out of retaliation towards him over Will?

Aery’s eyes flashed with a victorious smile when she saw the increasingly complicated look on his face. “Alright, Mark. Don’t think about such sad things. Try the desserts I’ve brought you. They’re delicious. I’ve loved the desserts from this shop ever since I was a child. I’ll stay here and wait for you to get off work, then we’ll go and have a meal together, okay?”

Mark did not refuse the dessert that Aery had put into his mouth. However, that dessert that should have tasted sweet seemed tasteless in his mouth, as if he were chewing on wax.

Helen and Jean Kinsey emerged from the civil affairs office, one walking behind the other.

“Is this… really the end for us?” Jean was in disbelief. They had spent half their lives together, and now they were suddenly parting ways. He never thought that Helen, whose world used to revolve around him, would initiate their separation. He thought that she had used the word “divorce” out of anger. He hadn’t expected for it to turn out to be real.

“The official divorce papers are already in your hands. What do you think? Jean Kinsey, I believe that my life has truly fallen apart in your hands. My greatest mistake was to follow you without any second thoughts. I’ve wronged Arianne and Zachary in too many ways. You, on the other hand, are never satisfied, no matter how much I give you. You are a useless piece of trash!” Then, Helen immediately got into her sports car and drove off. She suddenly felt lighter. This was probably the only good decision she’d ever made in her life.

Aery looked slightly annoyed when she received a call from Jean. It hadn’t been easy for her to get some time alone with Mark. She certainly didn’t want other people to spoil it, not even her own father. When she found out that Helen and Jean had gotten a divorce, she was astonished. However, that was the only emotion she felt, no sadness. Conscious of Mark being nearby, she purposefully pulled a saddened face and began tearing up. “I understand… I’ll try to persuade my mother.”

She cleverly began sobbing to irritate Mark so that he would ask, “What’s wrong?”

Aery put down the phone and wept. “My mom and dad have gotten a divorce… It’s too sudden. I just found out about this. Mark, it hurts…”

Divorce was nothing to Mark, who had lost both his parents at a young age. “So what if they’ve divorced? It’s pretty normal to get a divorce at that age these days. It’s not big news. You should go home. I have work to do.”

Aery wiped the tears from her eyes and pitifully whimpered, “I don’t want to go home… I’m sure that no one’s at home at a time like this. No one’s around, it’s too quiet. I won’t disturb you, please don’t send me away…”
