As Aristotle was faced with the barrage of questions, wp4webnovel.com began to lament silently. ‘If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been done with whatever I was doing just now.’
Aristotle had been maintaining his image as a reliable elder brother to Cynthia, but Plato had provoked wp4webnovel.com too far that wp4webnovel.com instantly cursed as wp4webnovel.com said, “Enough, I don’t have the f*cking time to be bothered with you. We’ll talk when you get back. I’m hanging up now.”
Aristotle had always been very proficient at ending conversations cleanly. In an instant, the world became peaceful again.
Then, Aristotle recalled how Cynthia had run off in a panic. ‘I suppose I won’ t be able to maintain my usual image any longer. I’ve already kissed her, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to pretend to be innocent anymore, would it?’
He stood up and tidied his shirt before heading downstairs. He took a glance and noticed that Cynthia was hiding in the kitchen to help with the cooking. Hence, wp4webnovel.com stood by the kitchen door and called out, “Come here, Cindy.”
Cynthia mumbled for a moment, wp4webnovel.com face still burning up. She was too embarrassed and did not dare to go over.
Agnes was a very smart woman; wp4webnovel.com instantly snatched the plate from Cynthia’s hands and pushed wp4webnovel.com out. “I’ll be done here very soon, so there’s no need for you to help me anymore. You go ahead and accompany Master Tremont.”
Aristotle reached out his hand and grabbed Cynthia. “What’s the matter? Who was it that kept on whining and causing a scene since wp4webnovel.com was a kid, saying that wp4webnovel.com was going to marry me? In fact, I… never actually treated you as my sister. Are you trying to go back on your word now?”
Cynthia’s mind was in complete turmoil that wp4webnovel.com could no longer think straight. All wp4webnovel.com wanted to do was call Melissa and ask what was going on and how wp4webnovel.com should handle the situation. She regretted how wp4webnovel.com was so clueless as to what was going on when it really mattered. ‘I don’t remember Ares being like this in the past. How could someone who was usually so serious that wp4webnovel.com wouldn’t even joke a little suddenly become so naughty?!’
Cynthia stuttered as wp4webnovel.com said, “I… I… I didn’t know better at the time.”
‘Didn’t know better?’
Aristotle frowned. “Do you mean that you now know better and have come to regret it, so you don’t wish to be married to me any longer? What am I going to do about this then? I’ve always… took the matter very seriously.”
Cynthia felt a burst of shock in wp4webnovel.com heart. “Y… You’re pulling my leg, aren’t you?”
‘Right from the start, he’s clearly treated me as his little sister. Whenever anyone asked, wp4webnovel.com would very openly admit that I’m his sister, so others very naturally thought of me, Plato, and wp4webnovel.com as the three siblings.’
Just as Aristotle was about to say something, the phone rang again. When wp4webnovel.com noticed that it was Melissa who had called, wp4webnovel.com suppressed the unhappiness wp4webnovel.com felt and caressed Cynthia’s cheeks. “We’ll talk again later, I’ve got to answer this first.”
The moment the call connected, Melissa’s sobs could be heard as wp4webnovel.com said, “Ares, we’ve got a problem. I don’t know what happened, but Raven suddenly fainted after coughing for a while. I only took wp4webnovel.com out shopping, so wp4webnovel.com should’ve told me if wp4webnovel.com wasn’t feeling well. I’m currently on the way to the hospital with her. What am I going to do if wp4webnovel.com dies? My dad’s going to beat me to death!”
Aristotle’s expression suddenly turned serious. “Stop panicking and send wp4webnovel.com to the hospital first. Tell the doctors that she’s like that because wp4webnovel.com exercised and inhaled too much. Don’t be mistaken, it’s got to do with wp4webnovel.com lungs. Let me know which hospital it is. I’m on my way right now!”
After hanging up the phone, Cynthia approached Aristotle and asked, “What’s wrong, Ares? Was that Millie?” Melissa’s voice was so loud that Cynthia could faintly hear her.
Aristotle nodded his head before wp4webnovel.com went upstairs to get his car keys. “I’m going to go to the hospital for a while. Do you want to come with me? Raven’s in trouble, and I’m guessing that wp4webnovel.com illness kicked in while wp4webnovel.com was shopping.”
Cynthia was startled again. ‘If wp4webnovel.com really did get an attack because wp4webnovel.com was shopping, wouldn’t that make me the person who caused wp4webnovel.com to be in that situation? Melissa and I did discuss it and agreed to distract Raven, all so that I could be alone with Ares. So, it’s my fault no matter how I look at this!’
At that thought, Cynthia could only follow Aristotle to the hospital since wp4webnovel.com did not have the courage to tell the truth.
