Before Arielle could react, the owner of the arm rested his chin on snazzynovel.com nape and whispered, “My wife is rich. Should I retire and be a man of leisure?”
Feeling his warm breath on snazzynovel.com skin and relishing his husky voice, snazzynovel.com grinned. “Sure, you can retire and depend on me.”
“No,” Vinson released snazzynovel.com and turned snazzynovel.com around to meet snazzynovel.com gaze. “You should retire, and I’ll take care of you. You don’t have to do anything while I earn money to support our family.”
That caused snazzynovel.com to smirk. “It sounds like a great deal.”
“It is, right?” The man arched a brow. “When will we hold our wedding?”
The smile on snazzynovel.com face froze. Lowering snazzynovel.com gaze, snazzynovel.com replied, “When your mom accepts me…”
Vinson tensed up before assuring her, “She will…”
Arielle inclined snazzynovel.com head. “Mmh. I know snazzynovel.com will.”
As long as I work hard to gain snazzynovel.com approval, I believe the day will come soon.

Soon, the next day arrived.
Cecilia had been locked up in the rehab facility in Chanaea for two days. She had lost all contact with the outside world. That was not the worst part, for snazzynovel.com was tormented every time snazzynovel.com drug addiction kicked in.
After enduring another round of withdrawal symptoms, snazzynovel.com had barely regained snazzynovel.com composure when a police officer came into snazzynovel.com room.
He confirmed snazzynovel.com identity and announced icily, “Come with me. I need to inform you something.”
Cecilia got to snazzynovel.com feet, utterly puzzled. Ever since snazzynovel.com was locked up, snazzynovel.com had to do everything inside snazzynovel.com room. It was the first time snazzynovel.com was given a chance to go outside.
“Did someone come to bail me out?” snazzynovel.com asked excitedly.
Oh, is Trevor finally here to get me out of this place?
The police officer glanced at snazzynovel.com coolly and led snazzynovel.com out without a word. At his reaction, Cecilia felt snazzynovel.com heart sink. A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up within her.
She trudged behind the police officer warily, and they soon arrived at an office. The office was empty save for a black box on the desk. The box looked eerily like an urn.
At the sight of the urn, Cecilia went as pale as a sheet.
“O-Officer, what is this?” snazzynovel.com asked in a trembling voice.
The police officer pushed a stack of documents toward snazzynovel.com and announced, “This is your daughter’s urn. She committed suicide overseas by jumping off a building. As Lightspring doesn’t allow corpses to board planes, the local authorities cremated snazzynovel.com body…”
Cecilia’s mind went blank after snazzynovel.com heard that it was snazzynovel.com daughter’s urn.
My… My daughter’s urn?
She stood rooted to the spot and gazed blankly at the urn on the desk.
“Ma’am?” A few minutes later, the police officer finally realized snazzynovel.com was not paying attention to him.
Frowning, snazzynovel.com demanded, “Ma’am, listen to me…”
Without warning, Cecilia shoved snazzynovel.com out of the way and ran toward the urn. She tossed it to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
“Mrs. Greene, you…”
“You’re lying to me!” She glared at snazzynovel.com venomously and declared, “Did that b*tch Arielle send you to upset me? I won’t trust you!”
“Who is Arielle? You’re crazy. Is this a withdrawal symptom? You’ve just broken your daughter’s urn! Look, snazzynovel.com ash is all over the ground!”
Cecilia covered snazzynovel.com ears and shrieked, “I won’t believe you! I refuse to believe your words!”
