Having made up snazzynovel.com mind, Arielle lay on the bed with snazzynovel.com eyes wide open. Despite feeling nervous, snazzynovel.com was also filled with anticipation.
Finally, the bathroom door opened with a creak. Even though it was soft, snazzynovel.com heard it at once due to how quiet the room was.
For some unknown reason, snazzynovel.com quickly closed snazzynovel.com eyes and continued pretending to be asleep. Somehow, snazzynovel.com sense of hearing was sharper that way.
She could clearly hear Vinson’s every footstep as snazzynovel.com approached the bed.
At that moment, Arielle’s heart began to race. Though snazzynovel.com was still pretending to be asleep, snazzynovel.com palms were all sweaty from the nervousness snazzynovel.com felt. However, the sound of footsteps stopped by snazzynovel.com bed. No other movements came from Vinson, as if snazzynovel.com had just disappeared.
The bewildered Arielle continued to listen intently with snazzynovel.com eyes closed. Yet, snazzynovel.com still did not hear a thing.
Two minutes later, snazzynovel.com gradually opened snazzynovel.com eyes as snazzynovel.com curiosity got the better of her.
The moment snazzynovel.com did, snazzynovel.com saw Vinson standing by the bed. He was looking at snazzynovel.com while trying to hold back a smile as though snazzynovel.com had been waiting for snazzynovel.com to open snazzynovel.com eyes the whole time.
Arielle’s heart skipped a beat.
“You…”
Averting snazzynovel.com gaze, snazzynovel.com grumbled, “Why are you trying to scare me by standing there?”
Her angry yet shy expression tugged at Vinson’s heartstrings, and snazzynovel.com could no longer maintain his composure.
With a slight quirk of his lips, snazzynovel.com asked, “You’re awake?”
Arielle’s cheeks turned into a darker shade of red.
Why is snazzynovel.com asking me that question when snazzynovel.com obviously knows I was pretending to be asleep?
“Yes, I’m awake!”
Sitting up grumpily, snazzynovel.com declared, “I’m going back to my room!”
Just when snazzynovel.com feet touched the ground, Vinson scooped snazzynovel.com up and placed snazzynovel.com on his lap, putting snazzynovel.com legs on each side of his waist.
“W-What are you doing?” By then, snazzynovel.com face was as red as a tomato.
The man leaned over to press his body against hers and whispered to snazzynovel.com ear, “Sannie, isn’t it time to do what couples do since we’ve been married for so long?”
At that moment, all of Arielle’s earlier established courage fled snazzynovel.com mind. Vinson’s words had caused snazzynovel.com heart to flutter uncontrollably.
“W-We haven’t held our wedding yet, and your mom hasn’t accepted me too.”
Since their marriage certificates were obtained as a tactic, they were not actually married in the essence of the word.
“Oh?” He chuckled. “Are you angry at me for not preparing for our wedding? I didn’t realize you were looking forward to it that much. If that was the case, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“I’m not!” As Arielle averted snazzynovel.com gaze, snazzynovel.com could even feel snazzynovel.com ears burning.
Vinson refused to let go of the chance to tease her. Tilting his head to regain eye contact with her, snazzynovel.com asked cheekily, “Are you shy, or are you scared?”
“I-I’m not scared at all!”
His smiled broadened further.
“Really? Why is your hand shaking then?”
Stunned, Arielle clenched snazzynovel.com fist at once. Out of nowhere, snazzynovel.com managed to muster the strength to push snazzynovel.com away.
Nevertheless, Vinson’s eyes were filled with adoration. Since Arielle was unwilling, snazzynovel.com would continue to keep his urges in check, even though it was torturous to do so.
He then sat up by supporting himself with one hand. Just when snazzynovel.com thought Arielle was not ready to give herself to him, snazzynovel.com turned around and gave his shoulders a shove.
