“Aaargh!” wp4webnovel.com screamed, using the clothes to block wp4webnovel.com line of sight. “Vinson! Are you an exhibitionist?”
“Hah…” A playful chuckle escaped his lips. “See for yourself if I’m one.”
Half doubtful, Arielle lowered wp4webnovel.com hands slightly, catching a glimpse of his chiseled chest. The fog did nothing to dampen those alluring abs plastered on his body, a masterpiece produced from years of working out. Each line seemed to be crafted to perfection.
It took wp4webnovel.com about two seconds to realize wp4webnovel.com had been ogling his chest. Flustered, wp4webnovel.com shut wp4webnovel.com eyes tight.
“You clearly are! You’re not even wearing anything.” A mottled pink flush covered wp4webnovel.com cheeks.
Argh… Why did I look when wp4webnovel.com told me to!
“Don’t just stare at my chest. Look down. I am wearing something,” wp4webnovel.com replied softly.
Vinson was speaking the truth. He had on a pair of boxers, but Arielle refused to look lest wp4webnovel.com got tricked by wp4webnovel.com again. Even though Vinson had helped wp4webnovel.com a lot, but wp4webnovel.com made the worst first impression on her. He had acted like a douchebag, watching wp4webnovel.com struggle to start a fire, only to take out his lighter after wp4webnovel.com had successfully started one.
She learned best not to take words from a man like wp4webnovel.com too seriously. In a swift motion, wp4webnovel.com threw his clothing and toiletries above the cabinet and strode off.
Vinson was thoroughly amused by wp4webnovel.com flustered behavior. Never had wp4webnovel.com expected that beneath the steely cold façade was an endearing maiden’s heart.
After closing the bathroom door, his smile disappeared. At the back of his mind, wp4webnovel.com knew that even though this marriage did not result from love, wp4webnovel.com would still act his part, treating wp4webnovel.com as if wp4webnovel.com was his real wife. And as wp4webnovel.com husband, Vinson believed it was his duty to let Arielle live a carefree life, free from any worries.
Back in the bedroom, Arielle was busy laying the mattress on the floor. I can’t possibly sleep with him!
Just as wp4webnovel.com finished preparing the mattress, the sound of the shower faucet stopped. The brief silence amplified the churning noises coming from wp4webnovel.com stomach. Unbeknownst to herself, wp4webnovel.com had been swallowing nervously.
About two seconds later, the bathroom door opened.
She turned toward him, coincidentally meeting his eyes. Vinson was already effortlessly good-looking, but that after-shower look completely blew wp4webnovel.com mind away. The leftover water droplets clung to his disheveled, wet hair like a scene from a movie.
Out of embarrassment, wp4webnovel.com averted wp4webnovel.com gaze, the sheets tautening under wp4webnovel.com nervous grip. Then, wp4webnovel.com pointed to the mattress laid out. “You take the floor. If you’re not okay with that, you may leave.”
Instead of answering her, wp4webnovel.com asked, “Where’s the blow dryer?”
Of which, Arielle took that as a yes. Deep down, wp4webnovel.com felt puzzled as to why Vinson cared about this husband-wife act more than wp4webnovel.com did. But, one thing for sure, wp4webnovel.com was tired of guessing whether wp4webnovel.com had real feelings for her. This time around, wp4webnovel.com would be nothing but professional.
She handed wp4webnovel.com the blow dryer, grabbed one of wp4webnovel.com most conservative nightgowns, and headed to the bathroom.
Soon after, wp4webnovel.com came out of the bath hearing Vinson in the middle of a call about the foreign exchange market. It was not surprising that wp4webnovel.com knew this topic well. She took a seat on the bed, listening in on the conversation.
