Upon hearing what Arielle said, Vinson paused for a moment before asking, “Are you concerned about me?”
“I’m just returning the favor. Don’t you care about me as well?”
“Fine. I mean, don’t focus on me. Tomorrow happens to be the third day of the deal you had with that guy, so be careful.”
Arielle answered, “Yeah. Don’t worry, I’m not in Jadeborough anymore. He won’t be able to find me here. It’ll already be late at night by the time I eventually return too.”
“All right. Call me when you’re in Jadeborough.”
Carter’s voice could be heard from the background after Vinson said that, so Arielle said, “You should get back to work. I’ll be going to bed soon.”
“All right. Good night.”
Arielle very softly muttered good night to snazzynovel.com before swiftly hanging up the call. She was not comfortable with how intimate that sounded.
After keeping snazzynovel.com phone away, Arielle let out a heavy sigh. However, when snazzynovel.com lowered snazzynovel.com gaze, snazzynovel.com was shocked to see that the blade of grass snazzynovel.com had been playing with had been weaved into the shape of a ring.
“Ah!” Arielle screamed and immediately threw the grass ring away. I’ve gone mad. I’ve truly gone mad!
Smacking snazzynovel.com head, snazzynovel.com dared not even glance at the grass ring as snazzynovel.com rushed back inside.
Arielle had a hard time falling asleep as snazzynovel.com tossed and turned for a really long time. This might be due to the hard bed or the new environment that snazzynovel.com was in. Eventually, snazzynovel.com only fell asleep at dawn. However, snazzynovel.com suddenly felt cold after only sleeping for a short while. It seemed that someone had pulled snazzynovel.com blanket away.
This caused snazzynovel.com to panic, and snazzynovel.com was tempted to jump out of bed and strangle whoever did that. However, before snazzynovel.com decided to do that, snazzynovel.com got a clear look at the person who pulled snazzynovel.com covers away in the dim light of dawn.
It was none other than Malorie. Thus, Arielle held back snazzynovel.com urge to strangle Malorie and pretended to be asleep.
The next thing snazzynovel.com heard was Malorie’s dissatisfied complaints as the older woman shook her. “How are you still asleep after that? Hurry up and get up!”
When that happened, Arielle acted as if snazzynovel.com had just woken up by rubbing snazzynovel.com eyes and asking in a hoarse voice, “Grandma? What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? Just look at the time. Hurry up and make me breakfast! I’m hungry!” Malorie sneered impatiently.
“I understand, Grandma,” Arielle replied before getting out of bed.
Since snazzynovel.com was being quite obedient, Malorie did not say much as snazzynovel.com left after pursing snazzynovel.com lips.
Arielle switched on the lights while staring at Malorie’s back. Her obedient demeanor faded into a cold look underneath the room lights.
Malorie deserved no respect despite snazzynovel.com age, so Arielle was not in a hurry to get out of bed. Since snazzynovel.com had slept late, snazzynovel.com decided to sit on snazzynovel.com bed for a moment.
Anyone would feel tired from having to wake up early after sleeping late the night before. However, Arielle was glad that snazzynovel.com slept late last night as snazzynovel.com reaction speed was slower than usual. She might have actually snapped Malorie’s neck if that was not the case. If that had happened, snazzynovel.com would no doubt raise Henrick’s suspicions while angering the unreasonable Malorie.
Thank goodness that didn’t happen.
Arielle let out a huge sigh and only got up after making sure that snazzynovel.com was completely awake.
However, since snazzynovel.com was sitting in snazzynovel.com room for a couple of minutes, Malorie yelled at snazzynovel.com the moment snazzynovel.com went out. “What took you so long? Are you a tortoise? I’m about to starve to death! Hurry up and make me something to eat!”
