“It’s alright.” Arielle shook her head. “I know my condition.”
However, Vinson refused. “It’s safer to check on your condition at the hospital.”
“It’s really unnecessary.” She explained, “My condition just now was like I ran for three kilometers and
used up my energy. Now that I’ve rested for a while, I’m feeling fine now.”
Although her face was still a bit pale, she was not as weak as she was when she passed out.
Hence, he could only agree and smile apologetically. “My mother is sharp-tongued, but she’s actually
soft at heart. You’ll
get to know her better once you get along with her in the future.”
Nodding, she commented, “Since she can become good friends with my mother, I don’t think she is a
bad person.”
Vinson looked at her sparkling eyes and could not help tousling her hair.
Feeling the warmth of his palm, she could feel her heart racing.
Suddenly, she heard his voice. “So, are we taking this marriage seriously now?”
“I…” Instead of answering, she asked, “Do you know what the psychologist say to me?”
“What?”
“I said I’m flustered whenever I see you, and he said,
congratulations, you’re in love.” While saying that, Arielle stuck out her tongue. “I can’t let him
congratulate me in vain, right?”
To her, having a crush on him secretly could not be considered as being in love.
Abruptly, Vinson thought of the drama that he had watched for the whole afternoon and remarked,
“Woman, you’re playing with fire.”
Puzzled, she questioned, “Vinson, are you okay?”
Immediately, the smile on his face froze, and he scolded Jordan in his heart.
I don’t think I can be a domineering CEO.
Holding her shoulder with one hand, he was about to kiss her on the lips when the phone suddenly
rang.
It was from Sasha and Blake.
He showed her the caller ID and said, “They probably had some news from Manchernius.”
With that said, he answered the call and put it on the loudspeaker.
On the other end of the line, Sasha’s voice came through. “Boss, where are you? We’ve found the
information, and we’re at the airport now. There are too many people here, so it’s inconvenient to talk.
Where shall we meet?”
“Let’s meet at Maple Mansion then.”
“All right.”
When Arielle heard Sasha’s voice, she suddenly recalled the awkwardness some time ago.
While she got in the car to leave Nightshire Manor with Vinson, she could not help but ask, “Vinson, I
think Sasha is pretty. What do you think?”
Hearing that, Vinson turned around and glanced at her. “Are you jealous?”
She was stumped by his words and felt embarrassed because she felt like he had seen through her.
Pretending to be calm, she looked out of the window and denied, “Who is jealous? I’m just stating the
fact and asking for your opinion.”
“Okay.” He did not expose her. Holding the steering wheel with one hand, he held her left hand with the
other.
Raising the corners of his lips slightly, he stated, “I’m not sure if she’s beautiful. I don’t judge people by
their looks.”
The next moment, she looked at him with contempt. “Really?”
In response, Vinson shrugged his shoulders and uttered, “If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t realize that I’m
in love with you.”
Dumbfounded, she queried, “Why do you say that?”
“Do you remember that I didn’t answer your call for a while?”
“Yes.” She nodded.
Not only did she remember, but it was carved in her memory.
During that period, she was extremely frustrated. Thinking about it, she might have fallen in love with
Vinson at that time.
Moments later, he continued, “She told me that if I don’t know how I feel about you, then try not to
contact you for a week. If I can do it, then you’re just a friend to me. If I can’t do it, it means I like you.
You knew what happened later on-I just couldn’t do it.”
