A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1716

Arianne could not help but be proud whenever she thought of Smore. ‘I never expected Smore to be the one to present the ring. The little boy was even angry at me a while ago.’

Tiffany did not slack off, despite being pregnant. She moved around sloppily when she heard the fireworks still being set off. “ I want to have a look at the fireworks. Would you all like to join me? I heard from Jackson that the final moments before the fireworks end are the best, and it’s going to be coming soon.”

Arianne shook her head. “My legs are a little sore from standing too long, so I’m going to rest for a while. Cut me some slack please. I’ve still got to go out and entertain the crowd later on. If I knew I was the main character earlier, I would’ve been more prepared mentally... You go ahead with Melanie.”

Tiffany grabbed Melanie’s hand as she eagerly rushed out. When Arianne saw that there was no one around her, she took off her high heels. Her toes had begun to turn red from standing up for too long. ‘These shoes are much higher than the ones I normally wear. I suppose there’s a price for beauty.’

Suddenly, someone pushed the door and entered. Arianne panicked and wanted to put her shoes back on, but when she saw that it was Mark, she sighed in relief. “ Shouldn’t you be outside, attending to your guests? Why are you in here? I’ll be out after a short break.”
