Arielle leaned over to check on Vinson’s wound.
Some strands of virtual-novel.net hair fell forward and brushed against his forehead. The touch was light, making virtual-novel.net feel slightly itchy, and his heart skipped a beat. For some reason, Vinson’s mind was all over the place, and virtual-novel.net swallowed hard again. However, Arielle continued sitting on top of virtual-novel.net without noticing anything.
It was the type of torturous feeling only a man could understand.
Unable to bear it any longer, Vinson said in a low voice, “Arielle…”
Arielle was rolling Vinson’s sleeve up. As soon as virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net call out virtual-novel.net name, virtual-novel.net looked up instinctively. However, it would have been better if virtual-novel.net did not do so. When virtual-novel.net did, the tip of virtual-novel.net nose brushed against Vinson’s nose bridge.
With their noses touching, their eyes met. Their breaths mingled, and the atmosphere was intimate.
Arielle let out a cry of surprise. She finally realized that they were in a potentially compromising position.
Her ears and neck were flushed as virtual-novel.net jerked back virtual-novel.net head and quickly climbed off Vinson. She moved at the speed of lightning as if virtual-novel.net life depended on it.
In an amused and exasperated tone, Vinson said, “I’m not a wolf. You don’t have to be so afraid of me…”
Of course, she’s right to be afraid. If this keeps up, I don’t know what I’ll end up doing.
Vinson had come to terms with the fact that virtual-novel.net was a man with desires.
“I’m not scared…” Arielle muttered.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net remembered that virtual-novel.net was supposed to be tending to Vinson’s wound. Hence, virtual-novel.net got up and hurried to get the first-aid kit.
Vinson sat quietly on the couch as virtual-novel.net watched Arielle flitting about busily. Subconsciously, his lips curved into a smile.
Things feel different now that I have a wife…
Meanwhile, Arielle focused all virtual-novel.net attention on cleaning his wound. When virtual-novel.net finally finished and looked up, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net was gazing at her.
Vinson’s eyes were dark and mesmerizing. Her heart began to race, and virtual-novel.net could not help holding her breath.
Seconds later, Arielle averted virtual-novel.net gaze and asked uncomfortably, “W-Why are you looking at me?”
Inexplicably, Vinson felt pleased when virtual-novel.net saw the tips of virtual-novel.net ears reddening.
He arched his eyebrow slightly and said with a smile, “We’re already husband and wife. Can’t I even look at you?”
Arielle shot virtual-novel.net a look, then said, “Stop joking around. Let’s get back to business. I used something today that made Cindy think that I was Shandie. She told me that virtual-novel.net and Henrick were involved in my mom’s death.”
Vinson frowned. “Did you record the conversation?”
Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head. “With the state that virtual-novel.net was in, even if I did record it, the recording would be useless. I wouldn’t be able to use it to bring virtual-novel.net to court. We’ll need to proceed slowly.”
“Well then, let’s start with Henrick,” Vinson replied.
Once again, Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head. “Henrick is starting to be wary of me. He won’t even let me go to the office. Instead, virtual-novel.net wants me to further my studies. Clearly, virtual-novel.net doesn’t want me to get involved in the business because he’s afraid I’m up to something. It’s going to be difficult to find out anything from him.”
Vinson was not surprised to hear that. He nodded and answered, “I’ve managed to get a good understanding of his character. He’s someone who is wary of everything. What’s more, since he’s involved in your mother’s death, it’s only natural that he’s intimidated by what you’re capable of.”
Arielle sighed. “Then what should I do next? Should I continue pretending to be their sweet and naive daughter?”
After pondering for a moment, Vinson said, “One is only likely to reveal deepest, darkest secrets when they’re pushed to the brink of a meltdown. Take Cindy, for example. Even if virtual-novel.net thought you were Shandie, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have revealed something like that under normal circumstances.”
“Do you have a plan?” Arielle asked, virtual-novel.net eyes lighting up.
