Not Suffering At All
Susanne knew full well that a lucky coin wasn’t enough to help Arielle solve those three difficult
questions.
Although her tone was a little unpleasant, the atmosphere was surprisingly friendly.
“I’m warning you… You only have three months to prove your value, you hear? You’ll still have to leave
my son if you fail to do so!” Susanne said coldly as she took the coin from her.
Arielle’s expression grew serious instantly. “Right. In what aspect am I supposed to prove my value?”
“All aspects.”
Arielle nodded profusely. “Understood.”
“Mom, you…” Vinson was about to say something, but Arielle stopped him with a quick glance.
It wasn’t easy getting Susanne to loosen up a little, so it would be best if Vinson kept quiet, as his
defending her would only worsen things.
Arielle had learned enough psychology from the Wilhelms and understood Susanne’s personality type
really well. She knew that doing things by the book was the only way to gain her approval.
Although Vinson had held his tongue, Susanne shifted her gaze toward him anyway.
“I know you two are currently living together. If you still acknowledge me as your mother, then you will
move back home tomorrow. I do not approve of unmarried couples living together.”
Before Vinson could even respond, Susanne turned toward Arielle and continued, “In view of your
current homeless state, I will allow you to stay with us in the manor. We’ll have the room on the third
floor cleaned up and prepared for you.”
Arielle quickly nodded in agreement before Vinson could say anything about it. “Thank you, Mrs.
Nightshire.”
Susanne pouted once again and tightened her grip on the coin before strutting out of there.
She was in a great mood that day, so she was willing to take Arielle in for a while.
“Why wouldn’t you let me talk to her? I’ll stay with you in the mansion if you’re not used to the manor.
You don’t have to care that much about what she thinks.” Vinson spoke up the moment she left.
He had never been the type who would obey his mother unconditionally.
“Underlings shouldn’t interrupt when the bosses are talking. I’ve decided I’m going to move in to the
manor with you!” Arielle said while jabbing a finger at Vinson’s soft yet cold cheek.
Vinson burst out laughing. “Bosses?”
“Am I wrong?”
Vinson shook his head. “Nope! You’re my boss from now on!”
Arielle jabbed at his cheek again as she continued, “Your mom too. You may not have said so, but I can
tell you really want her to give us her blessings. So, I’m going to work hard to make that happen,
regardless of how things turn out in the end.”
Vinson grabbed the back of her hand and gave it a kiss as he said, “I’m sorry you have to suffer
because of me.”
Arielle shook her head. “Not at all. Your mom will also become my mom in the future. I don’t have any
actual family, but I will when she becomes family. That’s why I don’t think working hard to earn her
liking is suffering.”
Vinson was so touched that his heart melted completely.
I was planning on handing over my position as chairman of Nightshire Group to Mom if she refused to
accept Arielle. That way, I would be able to repay Mom for raising me and leave with Arielle. After all,
Nightshire Group has enough money for Mom to live the rest of her life in luxury, but I am all Arielle
has. Of course, being able to have both sides covered is indeed the ideal outcome. However, does
Arielle really not find it suffering in the slightest?
With that thought in mind, Vinson found himself frowning once again.
