Cry
A heartbroken Vinson continued to hold Arielle tightly. “Don’t cry. Please… I’m sorry.”
He didn’t know how to comfort someone; those were the only words he could say.
Guilt washed over him knowing that she was crying because of him.
At this point, the man didn’t want to carry on with the plan anymore.
He refused to do anything that would hurt Arielle.
“Don’t cry,” Vinson cooed. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought that woman here. But don’t worry,
I’m going to catch that mole and kick that woman out right now.”
Hearing that, Arielle hurriedly wiped her tears and grabbed onto Vinson’s collar. “Don’t”
She ended up unbuttoning his sleepwear by accident, revealing his firm chest.
Arielle immediately looked away with a flushed face. “Sorry.”
“It’s fine.” Chuckling, Vinson kissed her tears away. “Don’t cry, okay? I really don’t know what to do
when you cry.”
“Okay. I’ll stop.” Arielle sniffed. “I just feel so horrible and… jealous.”
That was the first time that she mentioned the word “jealous”.
Even she felt embarrassed to say it.
On the other hand, Vinson pursed his lips in satisfaction. “I thought you didn’t care about me. I was
feeling sad all night.”
“And you still came looking for me?”
“Of course!” Vinson gently nibbled on the tip of her nose. “If I didn’t, you’d probably never come looking
for me.”
Arielle felt her heart stir. She also began to feel a little warm, possibly due to Vinson’s kisses.
The woman let out a dry cough before making a solemn remark. “We’ve gone this far with our little act,
so let’s not waste all our efforts. I noticed someone watching me when I left with Jason earlier today.
The funny thing is… I think I’ve met that person before.”
“You have?”
“Yeah.” Arielle sat up. “Do you still remember the incident on the cruise?”
“Of course, I do.” That was when he had nearly lost the only woman he loved.
The man sharpened his focus and sat up too. “But why are you suddenly bringing that up?”
“Remember the guy spying on me at the entrance to the karaoke bar—I saw him on the cruise back
then too. Come to think of it, he was the one who warned me about the bomb on the cruise. I’m also
certain that he wasn’t responsible for planting the bomb.”
Vinson’s brows furrowed. “You’re saying that the man who sent you those photos and wants to break
us up isn’t the same person who is trying to kill me?”
“Yeah.” Arielle nodded. “That’s just my guess, but I have a feeling that these two men know each other.
How else would he have known about the bomb on the cruise?”
Vinson’s expression turned unfathomable.
“Then, why is the guy who helped you on the cruise trying to split us up now?”
“I’m… I’m not sure either. Who knows, maybe he doesn’t actually mean to do that.”
“Should we continue with our plan, then?”
“Yes,” Arielle answered firmly. “He probably knows the guy responsible for the two explosions. As long
as we keep going in this direction, I’m sure we’ll be able to lure that rat out.”
