The Temperature Rises
Afraid that he would chase her out, Arielle quickly added, “Don’t worry, I won’t disturb your sleep. I’ll just
sit in the living room. When the time’s up, I…”
“Where’s the hair?” Vinson suddenly asked.
Arielle was stunned before reacting. She took off her shoes and retrieved a ball of tissue.
The strand of hair which she had secretly plucked from Henrick’s head was wrapped inside.
Feeling relieved, she said, “Luckily, I was careful enough to hide the hair on my way here. I’m afraid that
if I kept it in my pocket, I’d lose it accidentally.”
As she spoke, she took out the hair and passed it to Vinson.
He took it disgustedly and said curtly, “Wait.” Then, he whipped out his phone and made a call, “Send
someone over. I need to conduct a DNA test.”
Carter, who was on the other end of the call, widened his eyes. He asked in shock, “No way! Did you fool
around outside and get someone pregnant? You aren’t that type of man…”
“I’m not that shameless. Cut the crap and send someone over. I’m in the penthouse suite at
Jadeborough Hotel. Keep the matter hushed and tell the person to come over secretly.”
With that, he hung up the call.
Arielle subconsciously said, “Thank…”
Before she could even finish her sentence, Vinson scratched his ears impatiently and interrupted, “I’ve
told you not to say those two words, right? It’s annoying.”
She was speechless. “You’re really such a…”
He’s a kind man, but his style of speaking is really so unlikeable.
“What about me?” Vinson raised his chin and stared at her.
“Nothing.” Arielle shook her head. “I’m saying that you’re a nice guy.”
Vinson snorted in disdain. “I don’t like you, so you don’t need to friendzone me by calling me a nice guy.
I’m not a nice person at all.”
Looking at him, Arielle shook her head and insisted seriously, “No, I really think that you’re a nice person.
If you’re somebody else, I wouldn’t have dared to come here.”
Vinson frowned.
If she dares to go to someone else, I’ll break her legs.
Upon the thought of legs, Vinson could not help but stare at Arielle’s legs.
Her legs were so fair, slender and long that he had an urge to touch them and see how they felt like…
Suddenly, Vinson had a feeling that the temperature in the room had risen.
Gulping, he instructed, “Wait in the living room. I’ll take a bath first.”
“Okay… You don’t have to care about me at all. Just rest well. I’ll leave after a while.”
Not replying to her, Vinson headed straight to the bathroom.
Arielle soon heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.
Although she was initially sitting obediently, she started to become restless.
Being alone in a room with another man and listening to him bathing was quite strange to her.
Arielle could not help but stand up and pace around the living room. Soon after, the sounds of water
stopped and she could hear footsteps coming from the bedroom.
As the footsteps became louder, her heart started to beat even faster.
Feeling frustrated, she clutched her right chest.
What’s going on? Why am I feeling nervous? It’s not like anything’s going to happen between us.
However, the more she wished to calm herself down, the more rapidly her heart beat.
When the door was pulled open with a creak, Arielle’s heart leapt to her throat.
She clenched her fists tightly and swallowed her saliva.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
“The person you’ve asked to come is here!” Arielle stood up, about to open the door.
“Wait!” Vinson strode toward her.
