A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 45

Returning from work, Arianne took a hot shower. She then had a sip of black tea that Mary passed her.

“Thank you, Mama Mary!”

Mary watched her lovingly. “Ari, you’ve become sweeter with your words recently huh. You used to be too shy. It’s true that people do change finishing school and enter into the working world. You should try to talk to sir more too. Usually he’s not one to speak. How are you supposed to spend time together if both of you keep to yourselves?”

The fact that Mark Tremont was mentioned, gave Arianne Wynn a smile but she did not comment.

Butler Henry’s voice suddenly boomed from the doors. “Sir!”

Seeing that Mark Tremont was home, Mary scooted into the kitchen to urge the chef’s to prepare dinner.

Arianne took the black tea and sat on the couch, appearing to mind her own business. However, her mind automatically replayed the scene where Aery Kinsey entered the restaurant whilst hooking arms with Mark Tremont. She could not pinpoint what she was feeling, but it was like a thick haze had covered her heart.

Taking off his coat, that was cold to the touch from the weather, he passed it to Henry. He then went upstairs without sparing Arianne a glance.

When they sat facing each other during dinner, no one spoke. The heavy atmosphere only ruined anyone’s appetite.

Mary served the last dish and said smiling, “This dish is named ‘Sonny Beans’, have some more.”

Arianne Wynn and Mark Tremont dropped their cutlery at the same time. Despite their actions Mary still took the serving spoon and scooped some into their respective plates. “Try it.”

Fretful that Mary felt awkward, Arianne forced herself to pick up her cutlery again and continue eating. Mark Tremont, however, had excused himself to head upstairs.
