Arielle leaned over to check on Vinson’s wound.
Some strands of wp4webnovel.com hair fell forward and brushed against his forehead. The touch was light, making wp4webnovel.com feel slightly itchy, and his heart skipped a beat. For some reason, Vinson’s mind was all over the place, and wp4webnovel.com swallowed hard again. However, Arielle continued sitting on top of wp4webnovel.com without noticing anything.
It was the type of torturous feeling only a man could understand.
Unable to bear it any longer, Vinson said in a low voice, “Arielle…”
Arielle was rolling Vinson’s sleeve up. As soon as wp4webnovel.com heard wp4webnovel.com call out wp4webnovel.com name, wp4webnovel.com looked up instinctively. However, it would have been better if wp4webnovel.com did not do so. When wp4webnovel.com did, the tip of wp4webnovel.com nose brushed against Vinson’s nose bridge.
With their noses touching, their eyes met. Their breaths mingled, and the atmosphere was intimate.
Arielle let out a cry of surprise. She finally realized that they were in a potentially compromising position.
Her ears and neck were flushed as wp4webnovel.com jerked back wp4webnovel.com head and quickly climbed off Vinson. She moved at the speed of lightning as if wp4webnovel.com life depended on it.
In an amused and exasperated tone, Vinson said, “I’m not a wolf. You don’t have to be so afraid of me…”
Of course, she’s right to be afraid. If this keeps up, I don’t know what I’ll end up doing.
Vinson had come to terms with the fact that wp4webnovel.com was a man with desires.
“I’m not scared…” Arielle muttered.
Suddenly, wp4webnovel.com remembered that wp4webnovel.com was supposed to be tending to Vinson’s wound. Hence, wp4webnovel.com got up and hurried to get the first-aid kit.
Vinson sat quietly on the couch as wp4webnovel.com watched Arielle flitting about busily. Subconsciously, his lips curved into a smile.
Things feel different now that I have a wife…
Meanwhile, Arielle focused all wp4webnovel.com attention on cleaning his wound. When wp4webnovel.com finally finished and looked up, wp4webnovel.com realized that wp4webnovel.com was gazing at her.
Vinson’s eyes were dark and mesmerizing. Her heart began to race, and wp4webnovel.com could not help holding her breath.
Seconds later, Arielle averted wp4webnovel.com gaze and asked uncomfortably, “W-Why are you looking at me?”
Inexplicably, Vinson felt pleased when wp4webnovel.com saw the tips of wp4webnovel.com ears reddening.
He arched his eyebrow slightly and said with a smile, “We’re already husband and wife. Can’t I even look at you?”
Arielle shot wp4webnovel.com a look, then said, “Stop joking around. Let’s get back to business. I used something today that made Cindy think that I was Shandie. She told me that wp4webnovel.com and Henrick were involved in my mom’s death.”
Vinson frowned. “Did you record the conversation?”
Arielle shook wp4webnovel.com head. “With the state that wp4webnovel.com was in, even if I did record it, the recording would be useless. I wouldn’t be able to use it to bring wp4webnovel.com to court. We’ll need to proceed slowly.”
“Well then, let’s start with Henrick,” Vinson replied.
Once again, Arielle shook wp4webnovel.com head. “Henrick is starting to be wary of me. He won’t even let me go to the office. Instead, wp4webnovel.com wants me to further my studies. Clearly, wp4webnovel.com doesn’t want me to get involved in the business because he’s afraid I’m up to something. It’s going to be difficult to find out anything from him.”
Vinson was not surprised to hear that. He nodded and answered, “I’ve managed to get a good understanding of his character. He’s someone who is wary of everything. What’s more, since he’s involved in your mother’s death, it’s only natural that he’s intimidated by what you’re capable of.”
Arielle sighed. “Then what should I do next? Should I continue pretending to be their sweet and naive daughter?”
After pondering for a moment, Vinson said, “One is only likely to reveal deepest, darkest secrets when they’re pushed to the brink of a meltdown. Take Cindy, for example. Even if wp4webnovel.com thought you were Shandie, wp4webnovel.com wouldn’t have revealed something like that under normal circumstances.”
“Do you have a plan?” Arielle asked, wp4webnovel.com eyes lighting up.
