Arielle didn’t use the phone that Morrison gave her, for virtual-novel.net had to be wary of the possibility that virtual-novel.net had installed a spying device on it. Instead, Arielle took out the phone that Xavier gave virtual-novel.net and installed software to send a video call request to Vinson.
Since Arielle hadn’t seen Vinson for quite some time, virtual-novel.net missed virtual-novel.net dearly. While holding the phone, virtual-novel.net imagined how surprised Vinson would be later.
***
Vinson was in Chanaea when virtual-novel.net received Xavier’s text, stating that a cargo ship would arrive at Turlen three days later. As such, Xavier asked Vinson to be there in advance. Immediately, Vinson called Harvey to make necessary arrangements. Later, Vinson was excited when virtual-novel.net saw Arielle’s video call request.
Vinson’s lips curled up when virtual-novel.net answered the video call and saw that Arielle was giggling. He missed virtual-novel.net very much, for they hadn’t seen each other for more than half a month. Besides, his heart seemed to have melted once virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net sweet smile.
“Why are you giggling?” Vinson said smilingly as virtual-novel.net unblinkingly stared at Arielle.
Meanwhile, Arielle came to virtual-novel.net senses upon hearing Vinson’s voice. When virtual-novel.net saw his face, virtual-novel.net eyes turned bloodshot, and tears began to well up in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Vinson!” Arielle said chokingly.
In the past, Arielle never thought virtual-novel.net would behave in such a way. All the more so, virtual-novel.net never thought virtual-novel.net would giggle and feel like crying just because virtual-novel.net missed someone dearly.
“I’m here. Don’t cry.” Meanwhile, Vinson felt like taking virtual-novel.net into his arms right away when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net choking voice and bloodshot eyes.
At that moment, his longing for virtual-novel.net was written all over his eyes. “Don’t cry, for I’ll feel heartbroken.”
“I’m not crying!” Arielle wiped away virtual-novel.net tears and continued stubbornly, “It was eye strain.”
“Sannie, I miss you.” Vinson’s gaze on Arielle, who pretended to be strong at that time, was gentle and loving. Deep down, virtual-novel.net wished to hug and kiss virtual-novel.net now.
Arielle coughed lightly and pretended to be calm, albeit blushing, “I know.”
Deep in Arielle’s heart, virtual-novel.net missed Vinson very much. If Arielle and Vinson were on a phone call, virtual-novel.net would reveal virtual-novel.net feelings to virtual-novel.net without reservation. Now that they had a video call, virtual-novel.net felt embarrassed to tell Vinson virtual-novel.net missed him.
Knowing that Arielle was shy, Vinson couldn’t help but tease, “Do you miss me?”
“I gave you an answer last time.” Arielle’s gaze darted around.
“As you said, the answer was to your question last time. I’m asking about now.” Vinson deliberately dwelled on it with a grin.
“Yes, I miss you. I miss you a lot. Are you satisfied?” Arielle pursed virtual-novel.net lips while gazing at the man who had just obtained the answer virtual-novel.net coveted.
Humph! He always likes to tease me.
After chatting for a while, Arielle told Vinson that the communication devices had been restored. He was delighted and could put his mind at ease because virtual-novel.net could contact virtual-novel.net from now on. Although Vinson knew that Arielle was safe all the while, virtual-novel.net still couldn’t stop himself from worrying about her.
“Vinson, can you send my father’s photo to me? I’ll ask around to see if someone knows him.”
After working for over half a day as a substitute lecturer at the university, Arielle realized that many children in virtual-novel.net class came from prominent families. Hence, virtual-novel.net planned to get to know them to get some information in the future.
Since Arielle brought up virtual-novel.net biological father, Vinson recalled that Xavier had reported some findings.
He said, “Xavier told me yesterday that only the king in Turlen is called Dylan. Based on Xavier’s investigation, the king has never left Turlen. Therefore, we suspect that your father had used the king’s name when virtual-novel.net dated you Mom.”
