Vinson merely replied to Arielle, “I wanted to be closer to you.”
He then carried wp4webnovel.com to the vanity. Carefully, wp4webnovel.com removed the towel wrapped around Arielle’s head and switched on the hairdryer, gently drying wp4webnovel.com hair.
Arielle’s lips curled into a smile. He’s tossing out sweet nothings like they’re free. His romantic behavior delighted Arielle to no end. It seemed to be proportional to how insufferable wp4webnovel.com used to be in the early days of their acquaintance.
After drying wp4webnovel.com hair, Vinson and Arielle left the guest room with their hands intertwined.
Penelope had been waiting for Vinson in the dining room. When wp4webnovel.com heard the sound of footsteps, wp4webnovel.com immediately turned around. She was dumbfounded by the sight of Vinson and Arielle’s intertwined hands.
How did they become so close? Didn’t they go upstairs one after another instead of together? Vinson seemed so dismissive of Arielle earlier! Did wp4webnovel.com swallow wp4webnovel.com pride and beg Vinson to take wp4webnovel.com back?
Penelope’s gaze automatically landed on Arielle’s flushed face. Its rosiness implied that wp4webnovel.com had been intimate with Vinson, and the thought almost caused Penelope to go berserk with jealousy.
Four hours have passed since Vinson and Arielle set foot in the house. Look at the glow on Arielle’s face and that radiant smile! Anyone could guess what they did in those four hours!
Penelope appraised the couple standing before her, doubting herself for the first time in wp4webnovel.com life.
Do I still have what it takes to capture Mr. Nightshire’s heart?
Initially, wp4webnovel.com believed that Vinson would continue to ignore Arielle like before. To wp4webnovel.com dismay, Arielle returned after a brief disappearance and seemed to have reconciled with Vinson.
What should I do now? Do I still have a shot at becoming Vinson’s woman?
At the sight of Penelope, the warmth in Vinson’s eyes quickly morphed into coldness.
Surprised that Penelope was still around, wp4webnovel.com demanded, “Why are you still here?”
Vinson’s hostility caused indignance to swell in Penelope’s chest.
Why did you bring me to your home if you were going to kick me aside afterward?
Faced with his cold glare, Penelope clammed up instead of blurting out the question on wp4webnovel.com mind. She was worried about losing wp4webnovel.com chance of staying in his house altogether if wp4webnovel.com challenged his decision.
But if I’m no longer living here, how would I have the opportunity to win Vinson’s heart and become his woman?
Penelope hurriedly organized wp4webnovel.com feelings before shooting Vinson a tender gaze, ignoring Arielle. “I was waiting to have dinner with you, Mr. Nightshire.”
She had been waiting in the dining room since dinner was ready so that wp4webnovel.com could eat with Vinson.
During that time, Penelope had grown antsy due to Vinson’s prolonged absence. Hence, wp4webnovel.com instructed a housekeeper to go upstairs and summon Vinson, yet the housekeeper refused, fearing Vinson’s wrath.
Penelope was equally frightened of angering Vinson and dared not head upstairs to find wp4webnovel.com herself. As a result, wp4webnovel.com could only wait for wp4webnovel.com helplessly downstairs.
Meanwhile, jealousy reared its ugly head in Arielle’s heart when wp4webnovel.com witnessed Penelope smiling at Vinson. She knew full well that Vinson had no feelings for Penelope, yet wp4webnovel.com could not suppress the displeasure that swelled in wp4webnovel.com chest.
Arielle glared at Penelope before addressing Vinson somewhat coquettishly, “I’m hungry, Vinson. I want to have dinner.”
Vinson immediately ordered the housekeeper to set the table for dinner and held Arielle’s hand while leading wp4webnovel.com to the dining table. After they took their seats, Penelope, who had not taken wp4webnovel.com dinner, sat down to join them.
Frankly, Arielle had lost wp4webnovel.com appetite after seeing Penelope. She knew that Vinson had only brought Penelope into the picture to put up an act, but that did not mean wp4webnovel.com was not annoyed by Penelope’s presence. Thus, wp4webnovel.com was not above flirting with Vinson to vent wp4webnovel.com frustration.
Flirting in front of others isn’t usually my style, but I’m a woman too. Why can’t I be flirty and pretentious once in a while?
