Hearing the footsteps from a distance, Arielle instantly sprung up from her bed.
Meanwhile, Vinson moved even faster than her. He rapidly shoved the bedsheet on the floor into the
wardrobe and climbed onto Arielleâs bed to lie beside her.
âYou!â Arielle got a shock and wanted to get up.
âBe quiet!â Vinson whispered before wrapping her into her embrace. He went on, âNewlyweds donât wake
up this early.â With that, Vinson reached his arm behind Arielleâs head and pulled her closer.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Arielle dared not to move an inch. As she controlled
her breath, she could smell Vinsonâs strong masculine scent.
Concurrently, Alfred pushed open the door from the outside, barging into the room straight away, only to
see the whole room in a mess. Glancing around, he saw one pillow on the ground, and the couple was
cuddling lovingly with each other on the bed.
Seems like the newlyweds had a great night yesterday!
As the thoughts filled Alfredâs mind, he could not hold himself back and started to chuckle slightly. He
then cleared his throat and voiced, âMs. Arielle, Mr. Nightshire, itâs time to wake up!â
With a sleepy look, Vinson turned his body and asked with a hoarse voice, âWhat time is it?â
Judging from his deep voice, he must be exhausted from last night.
Alfredâs lips curled further into a crooked smile. Suppressing his laugh, he responded politely, âItâs four
oâclock. Both of you should get up now to get ready for the appointment at six oâclock later.â
âAll right. You may leave now,â Vinson replied casually
âSure,â Alfred said.
With that, he left the room and headed to see Henrick without delay. âMr. Southall, Iâve done everything
as you instructed! Both of them were sleeping together when I walked in, and their room is quite messy,â
reported Alfred with a beam on his face.
Upon hearing what he said, Henrick grinned along too.
âThatâs good!â Henrick smoothed his shirt in a good mood and continued, âGet the breakfast ready for the
newlyweds. Donât forget to send the breakfast over to Mrs. Southall too. Meanwhile, Iâll go to the
backyard to burn some joss papers for Shandie.â
Maybe Shandie could bless Arielle and Vinson with a happy marriage. Hopefully, the couple could have a
lovely baby soon! As long as they have a stable marriage, I wonât have to worry about my twenty percent
shares. Moreover, Iâm now related to Nightshire Group because of their marriage. My life will be smooth
sailing from now onward!
That thought alone made Henrick smile widely. Apparently, he was not one bit sentimental about Arielle
getting married like the other fathers.
After Henrick left, Alfred headed to the kitchen to make the necessary arrangements as instructed.
Meanwhile, Arielle ignored Vinson and went downstairs.
What had happened earlier sent her pulse racing at once.
Ugh! Whatâs happening to me? My heart is beating crazily! Could it be that I have dirty thoughts about
Vinson? No, Arielle! What are you thinking? Stop!
Arielle pondered over it in frustration and patted her head lightly, trying to shake off the thoughts. I should
stop overthinking and focus on revenging for Mom. Furthermore, Vinson probably doesnât feel the same
way as me. One-sided love could get me in trouble. I must keep my feelings under control.
Feeling helpless, Arielle took a deep breath and picked up her pace to go downstairs.
Meanwhile, for some reason, Vinson found Arielleâs behavior amusing when she quickly escaped from
him after what had happened. Immediately after that, the corners of his lips curled into a smirk.
