A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1624

Mary shook her head. “Nope. With me watching, she’s got no chance. I’ve told Henry to let Smore play somewhere in the park, and till now, they haven’t returned yet. I’ll call Henry to come back now, but... the rest is up to the two of you now!”

Mark was the first to pace into the house and saw Shelly watching TV in the living room. Seeing him return, she smiled and greeted, “Good evening, Mark dear. You’re rather late to be home today! Were you having dinner outside?”

Mark furrowed his eyebrows. “You’re staying?”

Shelly eyed Arianne standing behind him and answered confidently, “That’s right. I never wanted to leave you, so it’s only right and fair that I return to your side. Unless, of course, you don’t want me to come over and stay with you. The unit you bought for me isn’t a very comfortable and nice place to stay, and it’s really not friendly to women living alone. Besides, you and Arianne are divorced now! Whether I stay here or not doesn’t cost you anything anymore! In fact now that the place I used to stay is empty, well? You’re supposed to buy a house for her to move into, right? Just let her have mine! It’s not a cheap place to stay, and it’s in a good neighborhood and location. It’s perfect enough that you don’t even need to buy a new one for her anymore.”

Before Mark could say anything, Arianne had leaped into agreement. “Okay then, leave the keys to that unit to me, including the back-up ones. I’ll move in early tomorrow morning. Mr. Tremont? Grant me a half-day break for this, please. That’s all, I’m heading for the showers.”
