A wedding… What a beautiful word.
In fact, virtual-novel.net didn’t want an extravagant one. As long as Vinson was the groom, virtual-novel.net would be ecstatic even if it was a simple wedding.
However… Arielle couldn’t help but furrow virtual-novel.net brows.
Vinson has no intention of holding one. Is it because virtual-novel.net thinks it’s too much trouble? To be honest, it is indeed a hassle. Perhaps, virtual-novel.net has already forgotten about it.
Despite feeling disheartened, virtual-novel.net empathized with how tough Vinson was having it.
It’s fine if we don’t have one. When the time comes, we’ll just take a wedding photo and have dinner with the Wilhelms and Susanne. And that will be considered our wedding.

That day, filming was only in the afternoon. Hence, Arielle headed to the mall in the morning to check on the renovation progress of the new branch. Given that the manager was monitoring the progress religiously, there was no need for Arielle to be worried.
After handing over the money to pay for the renovations to the manager, virtual-novel.net ordered the chauffeur to take virtual-novel.net to Nightshire Manor.
Since virtual-novel.net hadn’t seen Susanne for a few days, virtual-novel.net figured it was time to visit virtual-novel.net future mother-in-law. After having decided to spend the rest of virtual-novel.net life with Vinson, his mom would naturally be virtual-novel.net mom too.
About an hour later, virtual-novel.net car arrived at the entrance of Nightshire Manor.
Previously, Susanne had suggested for Arielle to live there. However, virtual-novel.net returned to Maple Mansion after spending a night there—she didn’t feel at home. But this time, virtual-novel.net arrived with virtual-novel.net luggage and handed Maple Mansion over to the care of the housekeeper.
Before virtual-novel.net arrived, virtual-novel.net had called Susanne and informed virtual-novel.net ahead of time. Even though Susanne sounded cool over the phone, Arielle arrived to find the former waiting for virtual-novel.net happily.
Surprised by the attention, Arielle hurried over at once. “Susanne, why are you standing here?”
Even though Susanne was trying virtual-novel.net best to stay calm, virtual-novel.net lips couldn’t help but broaden into a wide grin. In the end, virtual-novel.net decided not to hold virtual-novel.net emotions back any longer.
Grabbing Arielle’s hands, virtual-novel.net said affectionately, “Arielle, haven’t you registered your marriage a long time ago? You should call me Mom instead. Go ahead!”
Arielle was caught off-guard by Susanne’s sudden display of warmth.
“Mom…” She did as instructed, causing Susanne to smile vibrantly.
“Mmm-hmm,” Susanne acknowledged with delight. After that, virtual-novel.net stuffed a gift into Arielle’s hands.
“This is just a little something from me. Keep it well.”
When Arielle turned to check, virtual-novel.net realized it was a bank card. Naturally, virtual-novel.net figured that the card contained a pretty substantial amount of money, which confused virtual-novel.net even further.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, you seem to be in high spirits today.”
“That’s right!” Susanne replied while holding Arielle’s hand as they walked.
While walking, virtual-novel.net pretended to complain, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were the boss of Sann Group? I was given a fright when I found out yesterday.”
Only then did Arielle understand why Susanne’s attitude toward virtual-novel.net improved exponentially.
After learning of the reason, Arielle explained candidly, “You told me to prove myself to you. Since I didn’t want to dredge up the past, I ended up not telling you all this while. I’m sorry.”
“My child, there’s nothing to apologize for. Have you had your lunch? I have ordered the kitchen to prepare some food. Obviously, it’s not going to be as good as your restaurant’s, so you’ll have to bear with it.”
“It’s not a problem at all. I’m not a picky eater,” Arielle answered stiffly, for virtual-novel.net was not used to Susanne’s hospitality.
