A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 63

”I’ll pick you up. Give me your address. I’ll be over in a minute,” Ethan said.

Half an hour later, Ethan’s car arrived outside the gates of the Tremont Estate. Arianne wrapped her coat tightly around herself and quickly ducked into the car. The late night temperature was freezing.

The security guard on night shift at the gate noticed that Arianne had entered a car that was not Mark’s and prudently wrote down the car plate number.

Arianne wasn’t in the mood to venture too far off, so she told Ethan to stop at the intersection. “Let’s talk in the car. It’s really, really late.”

Ethan looked exhausted. “I’m too tired today. Come to my hotel. I’ll call a cab for you when we’ve finished discussing. There are a lot of details to go over, and I don’t want to be thrown off my game when I do this. You’re Tiffie’s only best friend, and I don’t know who else to turn to for help. Just this once, okay?”

Arianne couldn’t bring herself to reject him, so she followed Ethan back to his hotel.

They walked into his hotel room. The takeout that Ethan had previously ordered was delivered soon after. “Would you like some?” he asked.

Arianne shook her head. “No need. Why are you eating so late?”

“I’m helping Tiffie out with locating the whereabouts of the culprits behind the lost jewelry materials. I haven’t had a good night’s rest in days,” Ethan explained as he ate. “I’m sorry for making you come all the way here…” Before he could finish, he accidentally spilled some broth and dirtied his clothes.

“I need a shower. Wait for me,” Ethan frowned. He looked like he was in an extremely bad mood.

“It’s alright, it’s alright. You go ahead. I’ll wait for you here,” Arianne said, trying her best to soothe him.
