Wake Up
Aaron hated to hear another man’s name from Arielle’s lips, especially when the man was Vinson.
“Give me your phone!” He stretched his hand out.
“What do you want?” A wary look flashed across Arielle’s face.
Without a word, Aaron stepped forward and grabbed her phone. Before she could react, he tossed it
away forcefully.
The phone disappeared into the ocean with a splash.
“What was that for? Are you crazy? How could you throw my phone away?” Arielle grew breathless with
anger and shot him a furious glare.
“Don’t mention another man’s name before me, especially Vinson Nightshire,” Aaron stated with a frown.
He didn’t bother hiding his displeasure before her.
“Do you have a long nose?” she demanded crossly.
“What?” Aaron asked. He looked genuinely baffled, for he had no idea what she was referring to.
“Don’t you think you’re sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong?” Arielle chided before leaving in a
huff. Why can’t I mention Vinson? So what if I mention his name? He’s my husband! I can mention his
name whenever I want! There was no way I would have allowed Aaron to keep me under a leash if I
wasn’t trying to find my biological father. Does he seriously think I’m out of ways to go against him? I’m
no pushover!
Arielle was infuriated, but Aaron found that side of her adorable. The more time he spent with her, the
more sides of her were revealed to him. I did the right decision by bringing Arielle back to Turlen. Once
we’re in the country, I’ll make her my woman. No matter who her husband used to be, she’ll be mine in
my territory. I’ll make sure that happens.
His eyes narrowed at the thought of his grandmother and mother. I’ll figure out a way to convince them to
accept her.
“Why are you upset? What happened?” Hubert asked in concern when Arielle marched back. She was
obviously in a foul mood.
“Aaron threw my phone into the sea and told me not to mention Vinson’s name. Why does he like to stick
his nose where it doesn’t belong?” Arielle grumbled glumly. She was usually pleasant, but clearly, Aaron
had successfully provoked her with his unreasonable demands.
“San, we didn’t head to Turlen just because he threatened us; we’re going there to look for your
biological father. Since Aaron’s authorized to bring us there, he must be an influential figure in the
country. So calm down, and be courteous to him. If you want to find your father, you can also sound him
out,” Hubert advised her and gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder.
His words made sense to Arielle. I know no one in Turlen. Aaron is the only person I know. Finding my
father would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Perhaps Aaron can be of help.
“I got it, Dad. Thanks for the advice.” After thinking it through, Arielle stopped worrying about her phone.
I’ll contact Vinson in Turlen. Even a tiger needs to sleep. The moment Aaron takes his eyes off me, it’ll be
the chance for me to contact Vinson.
Meanwhile, Vinson slowly opened his eyes when the sun went down the horizon.
“Sannie…”
The first person he wanted to see was Arielle.
“Sir? What was that?” The doctor couldn’t understand Chanaean.
Vinson glanced at his surroundings and realized he was in the hospital. He remembered everything that
happened before he was admitted to the hospital. There was a shooting, and I got shot when I was trying
to save a kid. But where is Sannie? Is she all right? Vinson grew increasingly anxious.
