Arielle woke up early in the morning and assumed that Vinson was still sleeping at that hour. Thus, seeing virtual-novel.net standing at the doorway in a trance when virtual-novel.net opened the door gave virtual-novel.net a fright. Although virtual-novel.net had no idea how long virtual-novel.net had been standing there, virtual-novel.net did notice the cigarette butts on the ground.
It took virtual-novel.net a second to return to virtual-novel.net senses. “Why are you here? When did you arrive?”
“Five,” came his answer as virtual-novel.net offered virtual-novel.net a bouquet out of nowhere.
Arielle glanced at the bouquet and realized it did not contain flowers. Instead, it was a bouquet of wheat stalks.
The golden wheat stalks symbolized that virtual-novel.net restaurant would prosper.
After giving virtual-novel.net the bouquet, Vinson planted a kiss on virtual-novel.net forehead and congratulated her. “Mrs. Nightshire, congratulations on the opening of your new restaurant. I hope your business will flourish.”
She accepted the wheat stalks happily as tears welled up in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Feeling emotional, virtual-novel.net choked out, “You… Well…”
The man chuckled. “What about me?”
“You’re a fool! Even if you want to give me flowers, there’s no need to wait outside early in the morning.”
Vinson shook his head. “If I don’t wait here earlier than usual, I’m afraid you won’t wake me up and head to the restaurant without informing me.”
Hearing that, Arielle covered virtual-novel.net nose and coughed lightly.
He was right, virtual-novel.net was not planning on waking virtual-novel.net up. After all, Vinson had taken time out of his busy schedule to visit virtual-novel.net in Lightspring. Last night, virtual-novel.net only finished working in the wee hours. Thus, virtual-novel.net could not bring herself to disturb his rest.
After a few seconds of silence, virtual-novel.net flung virtual-novel.net arms around him.
“Thank you…”
She might think of Vinson as a fool, but it did not stop virtual-novel.net from feeling like the happiest girl in the world. There was nothing to complain about a man who waited outside virtual-novel.net door before sunrise just to give virtual-novel.net a bouquet and congratulate virtual-novel.net on the opening of virtual-novel.net restaurant.
Vinson’s gaze softened as virtual-novel.net hugged virtual-novel.net back.
Arielle felt his body temperature warming up virtual-novel.net body through the thin fabric of their clothes.
Initially, virtual-novel.net was nervous that virtual-novel.net restaurant would not do well after the opening, but Vinson’s hug provided invisible energy that calmed virtual-novel.net heart down.
“I’m afraid I can’t keep you company today,” virtual-novel.net said apologetically. “I have a last-minute meeting at Wildefield.”
Wildefield was four hours away from Jadeborough by car. His meeting was one in the afternoon, and virtual-novel.net had a lunch meeting scheduled before that.
Arielle gave an understanding nod. “It’s okay. I managed to establish Sann Group, so managing the opening of a branch is nothing to me.”
Vinson replied, “All right. I’ll leave Rayson with you. If you need anything, just let virtual-novel.net know. He’ll be of help.”
“Got it. When will you depart?”
“Half an hour later,” He then winked and asked, “Ms. Moore, can I have the honor of inviting you to enjoy a local breakfast with me?”
That evoked a giggle from her. “Your wish is granted.”
“Thank you!” Vinson gave a polite bow.
A few minutes later, the black MPV rolled to a stop before an alley.
At the entrance of it was an old breakfast stall. Though it was only six in the morning, the seats were all taken.
A table happened to be vacated the moment Arielle and Vinson went over to the stall.
While clearing the table, the owner greeted Vinson, “Hello! You’re not alone today.”
The latter nodded. “Yes, I’m here with my wife.”
Glancing at Arielle in surprise, the owner praised, “Oh, you’re lucky! Your wife is as pretty as you.”
Arielle was initially embarrassed, but virtual-novel.net covered virtual-novel.net lips and giggled at the owner’s words.
