A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1546

When she arrived at her desk, Arianne sat down and took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She still had quite a lot of outstanding tasks to be completed.

Sylvain had arrived earlier than her and was already buried in his work. Arianne casually asked, “How have you been recently? Has your mom not made you break down yet?”

Sylvain gave a wry laugh and said, “I’m doing alright, but I can’t seem to understand why Robin’s mom dislikes me and my mom dislikes Robin like they’re born to be mortal enemies. I put in so much effort and finally began to make progress with getting Robin’s mom to like me, then my mom suddenly jumps out and makes my life even more difficult. Everytime I think of how Robin and I still aren’t living together despite being married for so long, I can’t even begin to imagine when we’re going to be able to begin making plans for having a baby. I’ve got a really bad headache at the moment because of this. You’re a woman, I’m sure you’re more experienced with dealing with mothers-in-law. I can understand if Robin’s mom despises me because of my past, but why would my mom despise Robin when she’s such a nice girl? Can you help explain that to me?”

Arianne laughed uncontrollably. “How should I know? I’m really no better than you in this. I’m quite stuck in a sticky situation myself at the moment. However, I think things are still quite optimistic for the both of you. Robin’s still working together with you in the office, so there’s no need for you to meet each other in secret. As for having a baby... I’m sure you’d be able to get it done in secret as well. Once Robin’s actually pregnant, a lot of problems will be flushed down naturally, cheer up. By the way, why haven’t you been wearing your earrings lately?”

Sylvain rubbed his earlobes. “About that... Robin’s mom didn’t like them. She said I looked like a ruffian. I can’t be bothered to explain and I don’t even know if I’d be able to make her change her opinion of it, so I decided not to wear them altogether. It’s no big deal for me to abandon one of my hobbies.”
