She had no choice but to continue staying here until virtual-novel.net had completely settled the matters regarding Southall Group and Henrick’s family.
Thinking of that, Arielle reluctantly stretched out virtual-novel.net hand to hold Henrick’s hand and said, “Dad, thank you for letting me stay. I’m really glad. You’re my only family member in this world, Dad…”
Henrick’s eyes reddened.
Such a good kid! Why would I be deceived by Cindy and wanted to kick you out of the house?
He nodded and patted Arielle on virtual-novel.net shoulder. “My good girl, it’s my fault for letting you down. I assure you that this will never happen again.”
Henrick’s tone was firm when virtual-novel.net said it. However, Arielle knew that Henrick was not one who would keep his promises.
He might change his mind in the next second. Someone who was untrustworthy and selfish like virtual-novel.net was undeserving of being called a father.
Michael said that there were no sons in Cindy’s life. That also meant that Henrick had no sons too.
“Thank you, Dad,” Arielle showed virtual-novel.net a warm smile, but it was cold in virtual-novel.net heart.
The smile on Arielle’s face pierced through Cindy’s eyes like a sword. She had not expected that the scheme that virtual-novel.net had planed with Malorie did not hurt Arielle even in the slightest. Instead, it had caused Henrick to be mad at her.
She hit virtual-novel.net lips in fury.
Vixen! Arielle is indeed a vixen!
Suddenly, Cindy thought about the “baby“ in virtual-novel.net stomach. The fake pregnancy would be revealed sooner or later. She might as well used this non-existent child to get Arielle out of the house. Since the psychic was unreliable, virtual-novel.net could only rely on herself now.
Cindy had an idea in virtual-novel.net mind. She put on an apologetic smile on virtual-novel.net face and said to Arielle. “Sannie, sorry for treating you like that. I had really lost my mind. I was just too afraid that you would not be able to accept the child in my stomach. I was also afraid that something like Shandie to happen again… Please let me. I’ll definitely make it up for you in the future.“
Arielle was stunned. “What do you mean by I would not be able to accept the child in your stomach? Isn’t that you who is unable to accept me.”
Henrick frowned. He wanted to help Cindy to lecture Arielle, but virtual-novel.net swallowed his words when virtual-novel.net thought of what Michael said that Arielle was “blessed by an angel”.
He tried to be a peacemaker and said, “Misunderstanding… It’s just a misunderstanding… Misunderstanding will be eliminated eventually if the two of you get along well in the future.”
Cindy was extremely unhappy, but virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net could not say anything else at this moment. She was so helpless that virtual-novel.net turned virtual-novel.net gaze to Malorie for help. However, when Cindy’s gaze fell on Malorie, virtual-novel.net saw Malorie sitting on the chair and panting.
Cindy asked in shock. “Mom, what’s the matter with you?”
Only then did Henrick notice that there was something wrong with Malorie. He hurried forward and asked, “Mom, are you okay?”
Malorie wanted to say that virtual-novel.net was okay. However, once virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth, virtual-novel.net chest hurt so much that virtual-novel.net could not say a word.
Seeing the scene, Alfred hurriedly said to Henrick, “Mr. Southall, Mrs. Southall fell down from the stairs earlier today. Not sure if virtual-novel.net hurt herself that time?”
“What? Why did you only tell me now? Get a car and go to the hospital now!” Henrick was startled and scolded Alfred.
“Yes,” answered Alfred and hurried away.
Henrick carefully helped Malorie up and asked Cindy to stay home. With the assistance of the housekeeper, Malorie was carried and put into the car.
