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 Arielle’s bed to lie beside her.
“You!” Arielle got a shock and wanted to get up.
“Be quiet!” Vinson whispered before wrapping her into her embrace. He went on, “Newlyweds don’t
wake up this early.” With that, Vinson reached his arm behind Arielle’s 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 Vinson’s 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 Alfred’s mind, he could not hold himself back and started to chuckle slightly. He
then cleared his throat and voiced, “Ms. Arielle, Mr. Nightshire, it’s time to wake up!”
With a sleepy look, Vinson turned his body and asked with a hoarse voice, “What time is it?”
Judging from his deep voice, he must be exhausted from last night.
Alfred’s lips curled further into a crooked smile. Suppressing his laugh, he responded politely, “It’s four
o’clock. Both of you should get up now to get ready for the appointment at six o’clock later.”
“All right. You may leave now,” Vinson replied casually
“Sure,” Alfred said.
With that, he left the room and headed to see Henrick without delay. “Mr. Southall, I’ve done everything
as you instructed! Both of them were sleeping together when I walked in, and their room is quite
messy,” reported Alfred with a beam on his face.
Upon hearing what he said, Henrick grinned along too.
“That’s good!” Henrick smoothed his shirt in a good mood and continued, “Get the breakfast ready for
the newlyweds. Don’t forget to send the breakfast over to Mrs. Southall too. Meanwhile, I’ll go to the
backyard to burn some joss papers for Shandie.”
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 won’t have to worry about my twenty
percent shares. Moreover, I’m 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! What’s 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 doesn’t 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 Arielle’s behavior amusing when she quickly escaped from
him after what had happened. Immediately after that, the corners of his lips curled into a smirk.
