A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 41

Eric Nathaniel frowned the moment he entered the restaurant. It was lower-class and cheap, somewhere he never would dine in. Especially upon noticing the grease on the table, Eric was fueled by the impulse to turn on his heel and leave. However, thinking about Mark Tremont’s favor, he swallowed his compulsion.

“Ari, here!” Tiffany Lane saw Arianne right away, standing up to wave without shame.

A beaming smile finally broke out of Arianne Wynn’s face as she hurried over. Tiffany acted just as she would have three years ago, not changing a single bit, just like Arianne had imagined her to be.

Tiffany did not come alone. There was also Ethan Connor. Compared to three years ago, he looked much more mature, but his playful appearance of the past had transformed into a mysterious front. His eyes were smiling but they looked like two voids.

Tiffany was surprised when she saw Eric Nathaniel. “This is…”

“I’m Eric Nathaniel.” Eric was easy going as he introduced himself.

Tiffany Lane did not pursue any further as she called the server to order.

“Ari, Eric, what do you guys want to eat?”

Before Arianne said anything, Eric Nathaniel subconsciously blurted, “Ignore me. You guys go ahead and order.”

He was not planning to eat anyway.

Discerning the disdain in his tone, Tiffany Lane felt rather awkward. Ethan Connor lowered his gaze, disallowing others to comprehend his current state of mind.

Arianne mediated the situation, not wishing for the atmosphere to turn sour. “Tiff, you know what I prefer. You can order.”

Tiffany ordered a few dishes and passed the menu back to the server.

“Ari, you have no idea how excited I was when I came back. It’s been three years. I’ve finally stepped foot onto this land again. I’ve always complained about the weather here, but now I love it. I freaking miss my hometown!”
