“Nothing!” Arielle tried to act nonchalant.
A corner of Vinson’s lips quirked when virtual-novel.net saw how the woman pretended to be calm. “Really? Then why are you blushing?”
Arielle snorted. “Because the weather is hot!” She then shoved virtual-novel.net away.
“Just don’t come near me, okay?” Her heart started thumping every time the man inched closer.
Arielle’s rosy cheeks made virtual-novel.net look even more alluring, especially when the room was aglow with the yellowish lighting. Mesmerized by virtual-novel.net beauty, Vinson stood stoic and remained silent. As Arielle looked in his direction, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net was staring at her. His intense gaze caused virtual-novel.net face to turn even more brick-red.
“Why are you staring at me like this? It’s not like you’ve not seen me before.” Arielle cleared virtual-novel.net throat.
Vinson came to his senses and chuckled softly. “I can see you every day but still go gaga over you.” Crawling into the bed, virtual-novel.net pinned the woman beneath virtual-novel.net and kissed virtual-novel.net lips gently.

Meanwhile, at the Nighy residence, Melissa leaned on Matthew’s chest and asked about his conversation with Arielle in the study.
Matthew’s expression turned grim when virtual-novel.net recalled the things Arielle had said. Even Melissa could feel the intimidating aura virtual-novel.net exuded.
She cautiously pulled herself from his chest and observed virtual-novel.net from a distance. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing!” Matthew took a deep breath. He did not want to discuss politics with his wife, but virtual-novel.net did remind her, “From now on, we should stay away from Dr. Moore.”
We should stay away from virtual-novel.net since we have different interests in mind!
Melissa did not understand why Matthew made that remark, but his demand had put virtual-novel.net in a tough spot.
After all, Lisa was very fond of Arielle and could not stop praising the doctor. Before virtual-novel.net went to bed, virtual-novel.net even told Melissa to invite Arielle over because virtual-novel.net liked having virtual-novel.net around. Above all, they still needed Arielle to look after Lisa since the latter had yet to recover completely. Moreover, virtual-novel.net had agreed to Lisa’s request earlier because she, too, was grateful to Arielle. Yet, two hours later, virtual-novel.net husband warned virtual-novel.net to stay away from Arielle.
What if his mother wants me to invite Arielle over again? What should I do?
Matthew gave virtual-novel.net an icy gaze and wondered why virtual-novel.net kept mum. “What’s wrong?”
Melissa looked virtual-novel.net in the eye and explained, “Mom is still sick, so we need to rely on Dr. Moore’s medical expertise. Besides, virtual-novel.net seems to like Dr. Moore very much. Before virtual-novel.net went to bed, virtual-novel.net even told me to invite Arielle over again.”
Matthew held his breath upon hearing that.
But…
He then let out a sigh, and his gaze darkened. Has Dr. Moore planned this all along?
“But why would you want me to stay away from Dr. Moore? What’s wrong with her?” Melissa could not help but ask.
She thought Arielle was a down-to-earth lady and a capable doctor. To her, Arielle might come across as faintly aloof, but Melissa could tell that virtual-novel.net was not someone arrogant. Though the fact that Nico had fallen for Arielle’s bodyguard did put Melissa off a little, virtual-novel.net still had a pretty good impression of her.
Matthew felt a jolt of frustration upon hearing that. He rolled to the other side of the bed and raised his voice, “Forget it!”
His reaction upset Melissa, but virtual-novel.net decided to remain silent and turned off the lights. As virtual-novel.net lay down in bed, tears started welling up in virtual-novel.net eyes.

In the meantime, something was happening in the tiny house where Cindy was locked in.
