While helping Susanne up, Geoffrey looked at virtual-novel.net and mustered the courage to say, “Mrs. Nightshire, I think Mr. Vinson is serious about Ms. Moore. Maybe you should give virtual-novel.net a chance. She doesn’t seem to be as pathetic as we thought.”
Upon hearing that, virtual-novel.net shot virtual-novel.net an icy stare. He immediately fell silent and slapped himself in the face.
“I’m sorry. Please ignore what I said…”
Looking at him, Susanne shook virtual-novel.net head while virtual-novel.net had complicated emotions. She was not heartless and had feelings as well. After knowing what Arielle had done for her, virtual-novel.net did falter.
However…
“Forget it!” Susanne bit virtual-novel.net lip and instructed, “Ask Vin to come down. Tell virtual-novel.net that I’ve something to tell him.”
“Yes,” Geoffrey had served virtual-novel.net for so many years. Obviously, virtual-novel.net also noticed that virtual-novel.net had faltered.
Immediately afterward, virtual-novel.net rushed upstairs to look for Vinson.
Meanwhile, Vinson dipped a cotton swab with some salt water and put it on Arielle’s lips to hydrate her. She was sleeping soundly on his large bed, looking weak and helpless.
Seeing that, virtual-novel.net felt distressed.
Once virtual-novel.net thought of what virtual-novel.net had done for him, his heart softened. He could not help but reach out and gently hold virtual-novel.net hand.
To his surprise, virtual-novel.net hand was so small that virtual-novel.net could wrap it completely by spreading his palm out.
She’s still so young, but virtual-novel.net has to experience and endure so much…
While looking at her, his heart clenched as if it was stabbed by Arielle’s silver-plated needles.
Just then, a knock on the door sounded.
Vinson looked over unhappily, only to see Geoffrey pushing the door and entering the room.
“Mr. Vinson…” The latter cast a brief look at Arielle, who had dozed off, and said in a low voice, “Mrs. Nightshire asked you to head downstairs.”
He has squeezing Arielle’s hand, Vinson stood up and ordered, “Take good care of her. I’ll be right back.”
“All right. Don’t worry. Ms. Moore is Mrs. Nightshire’s savior, and Mrs. Nightshire had saved me before, so Ms. Moore is my savior as well. I’ll definitely take good care of her!”
Geoffrey’s expression looked like virtual-novel.net was willing to do anything for Arielle.
Seeing that, Vinson felt a little relieved and headed downstairs.
When virtual-novel.net went down, Susanne had already washed up. There were no more bloodstains on virtual-novel.net body. She was sitting on the couch, and virtual-novel.net expression was extremely solemn.
Soon, Vinson arrived downstairs with a grim expression and asked, “What do you want to tell me?”
Instead of answering him, Susanne dismissed everyone in the living room and waited until all of them to leave before saying, “Vin, do you know why I object your relationship with Arielle?”
Frowning, virtual-novel.net answered, “Because, she’s a hoyden from the countryside and won’t be helpful to my career.”
Susanne nodded and shook virtual-novel.net head. Finally, virtual-novel.net laughed self-deprecatingly and commented, “Never did I expect that my behavior during this time makes you think that I’m a person who only cares about money and the Nightshires’ business.”
“Are you not?”
Hearing his question, virtual-novel.net was at a loss for words. “I admit that it’s one of the reasons, but that’s not the most important thing.”
Stunned, Vinson looked at virtual-novel.net with a serious expression, “What other reason is there?”
“I’ve told you before, it is because she’s Arielle Moore.”
At that instant, his expression looked more confused.
Susanne stopped beating around the bush and explained, “Arielle’s mother was my best friend. I won’t dislike my best friend’s daughter, even if virtual-novel.net grew up in the countryside. If she’s not Arielle, I won’t object to it after seeing how determined you are wanting to be with her.”
“What do you mean by that?”
