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 virtual-novel.net before swiftly hanging up the call. She was not comfortable with how intimate that sounded.
After keeping virtual-novel.net phone away, Arielle let out a heavy sigh. However, when virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net gaze, virtual-novel.net was shocked to see that the blade of grass virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net dared not even glance at the grass ring as virtual-novel.net rushed back inside.
Arielle had a hard time falling asleep as virtual-novel.net tossed and turned for a really long time. This might be due to the hard bed or the new environment that virtual-novel.net was in. Eventually, virtual-novel.net only fell asleep at dawn. However, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt cold after only sleeping for a short while. It seemed that someone had pulled virtual-novel.net blanket away.
This caused virtual-novel.net to panic, and virtual-novel.net was tempted to jump out of bed and strangle whoever did that. However, before virtual-novel.net decided to do that, virtual-novel.net got a clear look at the person who pulled virtual-novel.net covers away in the dim light of dawn.
It was none other than Malorie. Thus, Arielle held back virtual-novel.net urge to strangle Malorie and pretended to be asleep.
The next thing virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net had just woken up by rubbing virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net was being quite obedient, Malorie did not say much as virtual-novel.net left after pursing virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net age, so Arielle was not in a hurry to get out of bed. Since virtual-novel.net had slept late, virtual-novel.net decided to sit on virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net slept late last night as virtual-novel.net reaction speed was slower than usual. She might have actually snapped Malorie’s neck if that was not the case. If that had happened, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net was completely awake.
However, since virtual-novel.net was sitting in virtual-novel.net room for a couple of minutes, Malorie yelled at virtual-novel.net the moment virtual-novel.net 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!”
