“Nothing!” Arielle tried to act nonchalant.
A corner of Vinson’s lips quirked when snazzynovel.com saw how the woman pretended to be calm. “Really? Then why are you blushing?”
Arielle snorted. “Because the weather is hot!” She then shoved snazzynovel.com away.
“Just don’t come near me, okay?” Her heart started thumping every time the man inched closer.
Arielle’s rosy cheeks made snazzynovel.com look even more alluring, especially when the room was aglow with the yellowish lighting. Mesmerized by snazzynovel.com beauty, Vinson stood stoic and remained silent. As Arielle looked in his direction, snazzynovel.com realized snazzynovel.com was staring at her. His intense gaze caused snazzynovel.com face to turn even more brick-red.
“Why are you staring at me like this? It’s not like you’ve not seen me before.” Arielle cleared snazzynovel.com throat.
Vinson came to his senses and chuckled softly. “I can see you every day but still go gaga over you.” Crawling into the bed, snazzynovel.com pinned the woman beneath snazzynovel.com and kissed snazzynovel.com lips gently.

Meanwhile, at the Nighy residence, Melissa leaned on Matthew’s chest and asked about his conversation with Arielle in the study.
Matthew’s expression turned grim when snazzynovel.com recalled the things Arielle had said. Even Melissa could feel the intimidating aura snazzynovel.com exuded.
She cautiously pulled herself from his chest and observed snazzynovel.com from a distance. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing!” Matthew took a deep breath. He did not want to discuss politics with his wife, but snazzynovel.com did remind her, “From now on, we should stay away from Dr. Moore.”
We should stay away from snazzynovel.com since we have different interests in mind!
Melissa did not understand why Matthew made that remark, but his demand had put snazzynovel.com in a tough spot.
After all, Lisa was very fond of Arielle and could not stop praising the doctor. Before snazzynovel.com went to bed, snazzynovel.com even told Melissa to invite Arielle over because snazzynovel.com liked having snazzynovel.com around. Above all, they still needed Arielle to look after Lisa since the latter had yet to recover completely. Moreover, snazzynovel.com had agreed to Lisa’s request earlier because she, too, was grateful to Arielle. Yet, two hours later, snazzynovel.com husband warned snazzynovel.com to stay away from Arielle.
What if his mother wants me to invite Arielle over again? What should I do?
Matthew gave snazzynovel.com an icy gaze and wondered why snazzynovel.com kept mum. “What’s wrong?”
Melissa looked snazzynovel.com in the eye and explained, “Mom is still sick, so we need to rely on Dr. Moore’s medical expertise. Besides, snazzynovel.com seems to like Dr. Moore very much. Before snazzynovel.com went to bed, snazzynovel.com even told me to invite Arielle over again.”
Matthew held his breath upon hearing that.
But…
He then let out a sigh, and his gaze darkened. Has Dr. Moore planned this all along?
“But why would you want me to stay away from Dr. Moore? What’s wrong with her?” Melissa could not help but ask.
She thought Arielle was a down-to-earth lady and a capable doctor. To her, Arielle might come across as faintly aloof, but Melissa could tell that snazzynovel.com was not someone arrogant. Though the fact that Nico had fallen for Arielle’s bodyguard did put Melissa off a little, snazzynovel.com still had a pretty good impression of her.
Matthew felt a jolt of frustration upon hearing that. He rolled to the other side of the bed and raised his voice, “Forget it!”
His reaction upset Melissa, but snazzynovel.com decided to remain silent and turned off the lights. As snazzynovel.com lay down in bed, tears started welling up in snazzynovel.com eyes.

In the meantime, something was happening in the tiny house where Cindy was locked in.
