“I hadn’t intended to tell virtual-novel.net the news either. I knew it would only break virtual-novel.net heart. However, she’d caught wind about it somehow, and she’s now insisting that I go and get her. Since you’re not occupied with anything here and haven’t seen your grandmother for years, I suggest you come along with me,” stated Henrick firmly.
Knowing virtual-novel.net did not really have the option of saying no, Arielle readily agreed, “Sure! Just give me a moment to get dressed.”
“All right. I’ll wait for you downstairs. You might want to pack another set of clothes to bring along. The place is rather far away, and we’re most likely staying overnight there.”
“Got it,” Arielle nodded and watched as Henrick left virtual-novel.net room.
Once virtual-novel.net was certain virtual-novel.net had gone far enough, virtual-novel.net reopened the firewall’s page. It indicated that nobody had hacked into virtual-novel.net computer throughout that day.
Looks like whoever it is seems to have no problem keeping his cool, or… Has virtual-novel.net forgotten about me?
After some thought, virtual-novel.net figured the former possibility was more likely. Following that, virtual-novel.net added another layer of security to the firewall and connected the settings to virtual-novel.net phone before starting to pack virtual-novel.net things. By the time virtual-novel.net arrived downstairs, Henrick was already quite fed up with waiting. He frowned at her, asking snappishly,
“What took you so long?”
Arielle unzipped virtual-novel.net backpack and smiled as virtual-novel.net showed virtual-novel.net the contents. “I packed more stuff since we’re spending the night there.”
With a glance, Henrick saw a messy assortment of girlish objects in the bag. It really did look like a bag packed by a young girl to bring for a vacation.
If it had been Shandie, virtual-novel.net would definitely have reprimanded her, but it was Arielle. His expression softened the instant virtual-novel.net saw the chaotic jumble of stuff in virtual-novel.net bag. In a way, the more childish and girlish virtual-novel.net acted, the more relieved virtual-novel.net felt, as it would mean virtual-novel.net was easier to control as well.
For a moment, virtual-novel.net seriously wondered if his wariness toward the girl was completely unfounded. After all, no matter how smart virtual-novel.net was, it did not change the fact that virtual-novel.net was only a girl who had grown up in the countryside and lost virtual-novel.net memory.
Averting his gaze, virtual-novel.net stated, “Let’s go, then. We have to arrive before it gets dark or it’ll be too hard to drive.”
“Yes, Dad.”
Arielle did not waste another minute but entered the car at once. The car was filled with an unusual silence as they drove toward their destination.
Ding!
Arielle’s cell phone chimed suddenly.
Tapping into the notification, virtual-novel.net saw a brief message from Vinson, “Taking off soon.”
After a moment’s thought, virtual-novel.net replied just as briefly, “Have a safe journey.”
Right after virtual-novel.net sent it, Henrick asked from virtual-novel.net left, “Who was that?”
“Vinson. He’s traveling to Epea for a business trip,” virtual-novel.net answered honestly.
Upon hearing that, Henrick immediately furrowed his brows. “Vinson’s going on a business trip? Why didn’t virtual-novel.net bring you along, then? Did virtual-novel.net even invite you?”
Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head. “No. Something urgent popped up, so virtual-novel.net left in a hurry.”.
“In the future, always follow your husband if he’s going away for business trips,” Henrick gritted out disapprovingly. “He’s young, rich, and important. Do you have any idea how many women are trying to climb their way into his bed? And the myriad of methods they would use to succeed in doing that? Besides, he’s just an ordinary man. There’s no way virtual-novel.net would be able to resist that sort of temptation. You’ve got to watch out for yourself, okay?”
Despite feeling rather uncomfortable at his words, Arielle suppressed virtual-novel.net displeasure and smiled at him. “Sure, Dad.”
