Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me
Arielle knew what Malorie wanted – the ravioli she made last night.
Perfect! Everything is going according to plan.
Scoffing mentally, she replied in a gentle tone, “The fastest food that I can make will be the leftover ravioli
from yesterday. Is that okay with you, Grandma?”
Malorie snorted and replied in a reluctant tone, “Fine, the ravioli it is!”
Arielle nodded and entered the kitchen after that.
Soon, a plate of ravioli was served.
Malorie was already waiting at the dining table with her fork when Arielle brought the food out.
Arielle was quite confident in her cooking, so she was not surprised by Malorie’s reaction. However, she
pretended to not notice Malorie’s excitement as she put the food down and asked, “Is there anything else
that you need me to do for you, Grandma?”
However, Malorie simply replied impatiently, “Go feed the pigs then. You know how to make their food,
right? You’ve spent so long in a village, so you must’ve raised pigs before?”
“Yes. I’ll get to it right away,” Arielle replied as she desperately held herself back from clenching her fists.
She was afraid of Malorie noticing that, so she left soon after.
As Malorie stared at Arielle’s back, she scoffed and muttered to herself, “So much for looking down on
me, Maureen. Just look at your daughter. She still has to serve me and feed the pigs, right?” The more
she thought about it, the more delighted she felt, so the ravioli only tasted better for her. She was easily
able to finish a two-person serving of ravioli alone.
When Arielle returned from feeding the pigs, Malorie was done with her meal as she belched.
Arielle secretly grinned as she stared at the empty plate.
Soon, Henrick woke up as well. With that, the quartet, including their chauffeur, got ready to head to
Jadeborough.
However, just as they were about to leave, Teddy came over to them.
Malorie was annoyed when Teddy appeared, so she impatiently said, “Haven’t I told you that we don’t
have the money to renovate your house? Hurry up and leave!”
However, Teddy ignored Malorie and simply approached Arielle.
Arielle grew nervous when he approached her, worried that he might bring up what she said yesterday.
However, he merely uttered, “I thought you told me that you’d come to play with me last night, but it was
too late. When will you be free to play with me again?”
Arielle was relieved to hear that. It seemed that Teddy was a bright child and meant to tell her that it had
been too late last night and there were still plenty of things that he had not collected yet. He was asking
her when she would come back here again.
So, Arielle smiled and said, “I need to head back now, but I’ll come when I’m free again next time. If I’m
too busy, I’ll have some other kids come to play with you, okay?”
When Malorie and Henrick overheard their conversation, they simply assumed that Arielle was making
an arrangement to play with Teddy.
However, Teddy immediately understood what Arielle was telling him, so he nodded and said, “All right.
Remember to come to play with me when you return. Bye!”
He waved and immediately ran away after bumping into Malorie. This caused Malorie to stumble, so she
yelled at him, “Are you blind, you insolent brat!”
However, Teddy simply made an ugly face at Malorie before rushing away.
Malorie was so furious that her expression turned bitter. However, due to her age, she was unable to
catch up to him.
However, Henrick comforted Malorie, “It’s okay, Mom. He’s just a kid, so don’t let him affect you too
much. Come on, you understand how a kid raised in a village
is like. Don’t let him bother you too much.” After that, he suddenly realized the implications of his words,
so he shot a guilty glance at Arielle.
